Fish fry venues dot Georgia's map. Whether you're eating beside a river or tucked inside a city joint, these Georgia kitchens crank out fried fish when Friday rolls around.

Augusta's Beamie's at The River gives diners a view while they eat catfish and shrimp at tables on the patio. Johnny's Fish Market does double duty — you can buy your catch or sit down and let them cook it for you.

Love's Seafood Restaurant has perched on the Ogeechee River's edge since the 1940s, feeding Savannah locals and travelers who wander in. The Shrimp Factory sits near the same waters, serving up catches in a building that wears its age like a badge.

Atlanta's got The Fish Fry, where city dwellers gather when they want seafood. Bay Breeze Seafood in Marietta serves spiced fish that draws regulars through the door.

Columbus has The Seafood Bistro, where sleek furnishings meet ingredients pulled from local suppliers. Their Friday fish fry gets plated with care, making each dish look as good as it tastes.

Other great fish fry houses are scattered across the state, including Captain Joe's in Waycross, San Joe's Cantina Grill in Albany, Biddy's in Covington, and many more.
