"We live about 45 miles from The Fish Net. Years ago we would frequent about once every few months. The food then was not what you would call over the top however, you felt you got what you paid for. My Wife and I visited recently after about a 1 1/2 year covid induced hiatus and must say that we will not return after this experience.The grease being used was very rank which resulted in anything fried having a nasty taste, the popcorn shrimp were dripping grease and soggy, sweet potatoe fries were almost brown from the grease but were cold in the center meaning the grease was entirely too hot. We brought the sweet potatoe fry issue to our waitress (which was very nice) and she brought a plate for my wife to load her sweet potatoe fries onto. I asked her directly if they were going to cook the same fries longer and she said no sir. You guessed it, they threw the same fries back into the grease and brought them back to re-serve to my wife. The fish were over cooked and over breaded even after trying the white fish and the catfish. I was still hungry and made a second trip to the salad bar which was really good. I offered constructive criticism to the host while we were checking out, she did not feel compelled enough to offer any form of a discount and really did not seem concerned about what I had expressed though it being in a very polite and desciptive way. It's a shame that such a cute. quaint restaurant can't step up their game and even get back to the quality (though not perfect) that it used to be."
