Fresh hot fish Southern •
40820 Winchester Rd, Temecula

“I never thought to search for a fried fish spot in the Temecula area. I know, I'm a hipster from LA. Forgive me. I was initially looking for a Jollibee-tier spicy fried chicken sandwich. I know, a tall order at that price point, but I had hope. Fresh Hot Fish popped up in the search. I saw my folks co-signing that this spot fried southern style by way of Los Angeles... basically, fry techniques maybe two or three generations removed from the South with local innovations and losses. So I decided to spend a hot summer afternoon at this spot. The spot is a tent in the parking lot across from Lucille's BBQ. Outdoor, shaded seating available, which was comfortable enough on a 90 degree day to read a book. Ordered the Red Snapper Nuggets with their original fries, which comes with a side of hush puppies and cabbage salad. Every item was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. I found the portions generous, but the food was so damn good that I finished the plate on general principle. Crispy fish that is perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Fries are perfect for my taste, like a really high quality Rallys style fries but not false colored and salted to oblivion lol. Hush puppies were small, which I prefer, because they can be fried really crispy and maintain a moist center. They not dry y'all. Got onion and a little herbs in there. Bomb. Washed it down with a Coke as my doctor prescribed. I had time to lean over for a minute while reading and went for a short walk... to get ice cream. All that nutrition had me satisfied as hell. Definitely recommend you try this spot. My bad on a picture. I took a mid-went-in-on-it-already picture, which ain't for public eyes.“

“Although typically busy for a Saturday night, the service was good without being bothersome, the food was very good for chain restaurant BBQ, and the overall dining experience was enjoyable.Parking: Lot or garage parking is available nearby. Parking is relatively easy to find except on weekends when the lot sees more use.“
