The Fish Line in Columbia, SC might look like a hole-in-the-wall, but don’t let that fool you—it’s truly a diamond in the rough. The customer service was great, full of jokes, laughter, and loud talking. Don’t mistake the energy for attitude—come in with a sense of humor and you’ll feel like part of the family right away.
There are no tables since it’s all takeout, but trust me, you’ll be digging into your food before you even make it to the car. I started with the catfish, and let me tell you—fried to perfection. Well-seasoned, crispy, and easily one of the best I’ve had. I also tried the snapper, which wasn’t quite as seasoned as the catfish, but still had really good flavor.
The sides hit the mark too. The corn nuggets were great—my first time trying them—and the hush puppies were just right, not too sweet.
If you’re in Columbia and want some delicious, authentic fried fish, this place is a must-try. You won’t regret it!

Stopped here for lunch while I was in town. This place is a true definition of a hole in the wall. The building looks sketchy and the inside rundown but let me tell you about this food because sometimes hole in the walls have the best food. The catfish fillets are seasoned well and fried to perfection. The shrimp was plump and juicy. Service was friendly with a smile. There is no place to really eat here so expect to order your food and take it elsewhere to eat. I don’t live in Columbia SC but next time I am down for a visit I will definitely order again.

Perfectly cooked catfish nuggets.
Some of the best fried okra I’ve ever had.
The people that run this Southern Jewel know what they’re doing.

The best fresh, fried, and seasoned fish I had the pleasure of tasting. The size and portions are plentiful. The cooks and staff are welcoming. This is a must go place that you will never forget and sure to return. The prices are affordable.

We ordered 20 pieces Florida bream with okra. Unfortunately, the fish was old and wasn’t seasoned well at all. The fish tasted like it was cooked in old grease and the meat was brown. The okra was pretty good though. We tried them again after some years, but they are worse that before. The fish is definitely NOT FRESH!!! We wasted over $85 and we can’t even eat this nasty oily fish. Don’t eat here!!!

I traveled 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back home…that drive was worth every ounce of gas I used…Lol- When I tell you this fish was seasoned just right and was hot and fresh!!!! The staff was very friendly and patient…I will definitely be going back to this establishment.
