Its one of the biggest mysteries on earth. How the heck does Fred's Fish Fry stay open. Every time I pass by one, its empty.
I ordered the 3pc fish and fries with a medium tea......total bill was $5 and change. Got alot of food for the money......couldnt even finish it all. Too bad the fish was Sponge Bod SQUARE!!!!I had no idea an eating establishment could sell fish sticks!!!!

I thought it was the cocaine business in the back that kept it going.
I ate there at lunch just on a whim today...........it was 12:20pm.......and including myself there were two people eating fish sticks. 3 cars went thru the drive thru as I ate. I have no idea how they stay open either.

Is the food there better than Long John Silvers?
I personally dont think so. Ive only had the fish......they also serve shrimp and oysters. I wonder if those are square as well??

wow. where did you get those pics? now that's old school.
have you ever seen freds on friday? The one by my home is always pack on fri.
Holy crap...that place is still open?
Still open? They just opened a brand-new one on Culebra about a mile or so south of Tezel.
I have never tried a Fred's Fish Fry. It's usually in an area where I drive through really fast. hahaha
I havent eaten there since about 1989 as a kid i ordered some fish...and no lie...each piece had a square of cardboard...basically cooked into the center of the fish...i bit into the first one and couldnt....
i have never went back...no clue how that place makes money.
I haven't had Freds since probably 1992. I thought they went out of business but apparently not.
I used to go there with my dad, I recall enjoying it as a kid, but I haven't been there in a while, I do go to Jacala which is right across the street from Fred's, and I think I ate there once a couple years ago, but I'm not totally sure...
They aren't kidding about "Fry". Even the corn cob looks fried.

We mentioned this before in a thread a while back. Ever so often i stop by and grab some.
that must be how it stays open. everyone that goes there, it is their "ever so often" stop
those square pieces don't even look natural...![]()
yall are treading in some dangerous water....don't be hatin' on Fred's!!
I was about to say this until I read your post.
It is sad when every time I drive past one there are no cars in the parking lot.....including employees.....yet the just opened a new location on Culebra outside Loop 410 across from McDonald's.
I was also gonna post a question asking about the quality of food there...lebomb answered it for me...I'll stick with Sea Island or LJS's.
At least you don't have to wait in line at Fred's.
i used to go there every once in a while also, the bandera & Hillcrest location. id call the the taco bell of seafood.
Freds is good. Lebomb is just a picky asshole.
