The Tin Fish

Go here. Just do it.
I try to go here whenever I’m in town for business. The food is always solid and the service is top notch. Food comes up quick and hot. It seems out place to have a fish place in the middle of country that is this good but it is really great. Tacos, fish and chips, salads… all good stuff. Can’t go wrong here.

Tin Fish is nothing fancy but the food is great. Order yourself and then food is delivered. Waffle fries are yummy. Seafood prepared to your liking. Outdoor seating area. Located close to the Country Store and Livewell (BEST place to exercise in Newburgh.). You can’t go wrong and great place for family meal.

My girlfriend and I visited this past Friday afternoon for lunch. We ordered a dozen oysters, two grilled fish tacos, and had two beers ($ 45)…we were there for over an hour. It took 30 minutes to get the oysters and then another 30 minutes to receive our tacos. I’m not sure how or why it would take that long for either. One of our tacos was incorrect but didn’t have time to wait another 30 minutes for a new taco.
Their food is good but the service is spotty at best. They were not very busy and the waitress was not apologetic at all (customer service 101, restaurant worker here). Not one time in our time there did we get asked how we were doing or an explanation on why everything was taking so long. After placing our order, there were at least 2 or 3 tables that arrived, ate, and left by the time we received our full order. This isn’t our first bad experience here. We won’t be back.
Also, not a fan of the pay/​tip up front system that they have in place there.

Really surprising in a really cool town on the Ohio river. Wonderful selection of all kinds of seafood, and it wasn’t just a fry shack. If you like seafood, this a spot you can rely on for some tasty food and house prepared sides and tartar. If you value your food house prepared, I can recommend this place. After eating, take a stroll around the enchanting river town.

We had Tin Fish for lunch. The service was fast and they were knowledgeable and helpful about the menu. The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. They’ve opened more tables so there’s plenty of room for large parties. The sweet potato waffle fries were a great addition to the menu. The cod is very small strips so don’t order it alone if you’re really hungry. The mahi mahi was steak size and tasty.

Service was excellent, clean, not crowded on a Saturday noon-​time. Crab cake appetizers were barely warm; probably needed another few minutes in the deep fryer — kind of gooey inside. The grilled salmon was so-​so, a little too done. But the waffle fries are what makes the 4 stars — perfect. The salmon burrito filling was excellent, but the chilled (ok, ice-​cold) wrap cooled the filling, so that’s kind of not good. Slaw was tangy if you like the vinegar — I prefer the creamy. Quick refills, friendly people — will give it one more shot. Menu selections are way more than I expected.

Oysters on the half shell!!! And best fish/​calamari tacos ever! Try the salmon salad too, yummy…

Food was hot and fresh service was great. Was asked 5 times if food was ok. A bit much but they care.

Fresh experience. From the tarter to the lightly seasoned waffle fries, this subtle hidden oasis makes you feel like you are lakeside. It is obviously a local favorite and a must visit for any traveler.
They have a full fish menu, even Walleye. Looking forward to returning.

The first time I visited, it was amazing! Last night though, my date and I were both ill after eating scallops. His were grilled and mine were fried. He was a lot sicker than I was, and this is not acceptable for many reasons. We won’t be back here for quite some time. The service is awesome and the atmosphere is fun. I hope this is just a one off thing and I’ll try it again eventually but it will be quite a while.

I didn’t know about this place till I moved from evansville to newburgh. I have been missing out! Best fish tacos EVER!

The Tin Fish consistently has great service, and the food is VERY good. I eat there at least 3 – 4 times per week.

Seriously the best fish tacos around! Craft beers, good location… Great gem in downtown Newburgh!

I’m not a seafood fan, but my husband and dad both love it. The Tin Fish is the place to go for seafood fans. I get the chicken taco and waffle fries. Both excellent. My husband raves about the Mahi Mahi, and my dad loves the fish and chips. Nothing is ever the slightest bit greasy, and its all seasoned just right. Great service, very nice people. Great place for a nice family evening.

We had a good meal sitting out on the deck. We ordered fried pickles for an appetizer. They are probably some of the best pickles I’ve had. The clams are great as are the onion rings. The slaw is vinegar based and has very good flavor. The girls are very attentive and kept our drinks filled. If you like fish or chicken strips and don’t want a chain restaurant, this is a good alternative.

Everything they have is great! I’m a fish taco fan. They have tons of choices & they are all fresh & delicious!

Stopped in on a gloomy Saturday afternoon. Good fish shack-​type place only located in a mini mini-​mall. Wanted to try the fish and chips, and they were great. Two sizes, got the small 3-​piece for $ 8.50. Three solid sized pieces, waffle fries and cole slaw. Washed it down with a Tin Man tall boy. How appropriate. Also got the fish taco and it had two nice pieces of fish in it. One taco and some fries would do the job as well. The lobster bisque was heavy on the bisque, light on the lobster but very flavorful, and the price resembles the amount of lobster meat. At least we weren’t overpaying for it.
Will be back. And definitely try the hot sauce in the generic squeeze bottle. Had a smoky Cholula-​ish flavor to it. Same sauce as they put on the fish tacos. Was very nice.

A great lunch spot. I had grilled trout and it was perfect and the portion was generous. The cole slaw was sweet and tasty, too.
You order at the counter and then they deliver to your table. Staff also will come by to check on drink refills.
Did you know there are other Tin Fish locations in California, Florida and even Minneapolis? I couldn’t believe it until I looked it up online. I thought this was just a local joint, though it is locally owned and operated. The staff was very friendly and they have a ton of fish options.
I was just passing through town on business, but if I lived in the area I would hit this place up for lunch all the time. I loved that they had 80s music on. I’m not sure if that’s an all the time thing, but it should be!

Great concept; Exceptional delivery; Odd feeling… but I’ll get over it!
What I mean is upon walking in I was a little taken back seeing the Coca-​cola vending cups at tables thinking we were going to some nice fish restaurant that supposedly has a full bar. THEN… sitting there eating and having an overwhelming deja-​vu of sitting in mall food courts way back in the day.
Having said that… I got over and ended up adoring this place! The food is decent, the mixed drinks are some of the best in Southern Indiana and the staff is incredibly friendly!
My husband ordered a Mahi-​Mahi sandwich and I ordered the much bragged about fish tacos (grilled) as well as a cup of «the worlds best» chowder. Now I’ve been to San Francisco and eaten chowder on the Wharf many times so to say this was the «world best» was a bit off for me, however, my first bite put a GIANT smile on my face and MMMMMM in my belly! My husband and I both loved it and the flavor was amazing. Nice, rich, creamy texture but could have used a bit more clams. The hubs liked his sandwich but was under-​impressed with the huge bread roll it came on. Kind of took away from the fish. My fish taco was good but not wow! I’m not fond of the way this area does tacos with flour tortillas and a ton of cheddar on top. That’s not a real taco, nor real fish taco for that matter but that is my issue and something I’ll always complain about. The fish inside was prepared and flavored perfectly and I ended up just pulling it out to eat by itself. (If you’re wondering, I do fish tacos on corn tortillas with shredded cabbage, pico de gallo and cilantro and an avocado tomatillo salsa)
As for the drinks… WOW!!! They had a board posted with all of their specials and I went for a mojito hoping for the best knowing that every time I order one in this area I’m usually disappointed. This thing was done as good, or better, that I’ve ever had. Muddled fresh mint and everything!!! Nice sweet to the tart. PERFECTION! And only $ 5! Can’t beat that!
Overall I really liked the place… and so do the locals! The place was packed! Forgot to mention the live acoustic music being played in the «food court» while we were dining. Nice touch!
