Best fish sandwich I've ever had! I always get my fish from here on Fridays during lent! Would definitely recommend anyone to try this place if you haven't yet!
Best well kept secret on the East Side. Marko's fish has been in Madison Il. on Madison Ave. for decades. Their Cod sandwich is comparable to none in the area. Fried fresh while you wait. This small family owned business is worth the drive. Don't blink you will miss it and have to turn around. Love it
The big golden beer battered cod fish is pretty good. The only thing I can really compare it to is Culvers Cod fish sandwhich, in this case Marko's is better all day long.
If you stop by, you are gonna get a big cut of cod fish that is beer battered and golden deep fried. Now if you are afraid of oil, this fish comes with a little bit of oil on it. As a matter of fact the only way you can get this fish is deep fried and beer battered.
I have tried the onion rings and the fries they are all frozen there is no kitchen prep in this place. However, for frozen they are pretty tasty, I guess it is that fish oil.
They offer shrimp, which I understand may not be their strong dish, as I like my shrimp big if fried and these are not that big at all, I was told they are popcorn shrimp, as the cook told me. They offer hamburger and cheeseburgers, however, the cook said it is best to stick with the cod fish.
So now you know when you come, order only the cod fish sandwich, now you have a choice of how you want it. You can get your cod fish sandwich plain on good white bread, or with your selection of pickles, onions and or banana peppers on white bread.
Your condiments of choice are premade tarter sauce or hot sauce packets. A cold soda in a can costs you $1.00
Now this place can easily be passed up if you are not looking for it, as it does not look like a restaurant. It is a small little place but with a lot of parking and it is off the street parking. The place at best can seat 12 people, 4 at the counter and 8 at the tables and you better know each other.
I think if you are in the area or passing through do try this place you may well enjoy it. If you are not in the area don't make a special trip unless you just want to try a different cod fish sandwich that is simple and good.
This is great for me, I like mines with the pickles, onions and banana peppers the tarter sauce is my condiment of choice. I do wish they would make their own tarter sauce and make it better than the squirt bottle stuff. But if it ain't broke why fix it.
Have to give them the rating I have not seen anyone else do cod fish better.
The best cod fish sandwich you will EVER get!!
