Calumet Fisheries is a walk-up counter, and Calumet Fisheries is cash-only, so you'll have to plan ahead where you eat their delicious food. Locals and famous foodies love Calumet Fisheries, and in 1979, the film crew for Blues Brothers frequented the fish spot as they filmed the iconic movie right outside. That may be the most Chicago thing we have ever heard!

Parsons Chicken and Fish have several locations across the city, and they serve, you guessed it, fried fish and chicken. But the atmosphere here is the true star, and it's hard to find a seat outside during summer patio season. Their Shrimp Basket comes with eight jumbo fried shrimp, fries, and cocktail sauce. They also have an extensive cocktail menu to start your weekend off right.

Their half-pound of panko-crusted jumbo shrimp comes with fries and mild and spicy cocktail sauce. A half-pound basket will set you back $16, and a full pound costs $24.

Snappy's Shrimp

Snappy's Shrimp has long been a go-to for us when we are in the mood for fried fish. Their shrimp are great, but their fried scallops and fish chips always hit the spot. They are very reasonably priced, and a pound of fried shrimp will only set you back $17.50. Considering the prices at other places on the list, we think Snappy's is a great choice to feed the family. They are located on Irving Park Rd and are passionate about serving up the freshest Gulf Shrimp possible. It's mostly a takeout spot, but they have a few seats indoors if you cannot wait to get your food home.
