Doug's Fish Fry · Skaneateles village
Doug's has been a Central New York fixture since it opened in Skaneateles, and This is CNY calls it probably the most well-known fish spot in the region, a Best of CNY fish winner in 2019. The oversized fried haddock sandwich draws the largest crowds, backed by hand-cut fries and onion rings with honey-curry sauce. The original sits on Jordan Street in Skaneateles village. Order the oversized haddock sandwich with a side of onion rings.
The Fish Friar · Downtown / Genesee St
A downtown fish spot on East Genesee Street, included in This is CNY's roundup of standout area fried fish. The kitchen dips its fillets in fresh egg, then coats them in a blend of flour, spices and ground panko before frying, and plates a fish-and-chips dinner priced around twenty dollars. It is an option year-round, not only during Lent. Order the haddock fish and chips.
Fish Cove · Westvale
A fish house in Westvale Plaza on West Genesee Street, named in This is CNY's fried-fish roundup for an exceptionally thick haddock fillet on its fish dinner, about $16.95. The kitchen breads the fish and lets it rest in the refrigerator before frying, which helps the coating set. Order the fish dinner and expect a substantial fillet.
Bayberry Seafood · Liverpool
Bayberry on Oswego Road in Liverpool is a fish market with a fry counter, included in This is CNY's roundup of area fried fish. You can pick your own fillet from the cooler and have it breaded and fried on the spot, and the fried haddock sandwich runs around $7.49. Order the fried haddock sandwich, or choose a fillet from the case.
