Caplinger's Fresh Catch

We purchased a certificate from Fox 59 and finally made it here before it expired. I was not aware of how many different options they had. I didn't look at the menu before coming. The staff was all very pleasant and patient while I decided what to order. I ordered the fish and chicken meal. I was excited I could get the chicken grilled and the fish fried. Everything we ordered was AMAZING! Can't wait to go back!

Caplingers Fresh Catch is a top spot for seafood lovers. They offer a wide selection of fresh fish by the pound, or you can have it cooked on-site to eat there or take home. Beyond seafood, they also have alligator, chicken, pork tenderloins, and prepared spreads like tuna salad. You’ll find plenty of fixings too—panko breadcrumbs, rice, and breading for frying—plus pies by the slice or whole. I stopped in around 1 p.m. during an off-peak hour, but even then, they were busy (though the wait wasn’t long). I ordered the Caplinger Special Dinner, which includes two pieces of Basa, two hush puppies, and two sides. I went with fried okra and buffalo fries. I asked for my fish crispy, and it was cooked perfectly. I’ve tried many items here, and the only one I didn’t care for was the Walleye—too pricey to be disappointed twice, though it might’ve just been an off day. Overall, this place is a winner. Friendly staff, great service, and excellent food. Highly recommend stopping in!

The oyster po-boy was superb. Absolutely amazing so much fresh oyster, lettuce, fresh onions, a perfect remoulade to go with it on a perfect hoagie. And the crab cakes are to die for, best all around. The clam chowder is next level. I don't know how to describe it other than it tastes better than you can possibly imagine. It's my favorite thing I had today. It reminded me of old memories. Yours is the absolute best recipe and it's better than my own recipe my family makes. Everything was thoroughly made and seasoned to perfection. And acute attention to detail on everything. The condiments are Monarch. Everything at this market is so fresh and it's like stepping into a whole different state, one that is coastal with all of these options. The menu is extensive and the quality is unparalleled. The service was amazing and the staff were super friendly and nice. They also offer their own teas which are the perfect pairing with this delicious variety of seafood. This place is as fabulous of a market as it is a restaurant. I will definitely be back, thank you guys for one of the best experiences I've had. P.S. as you can tell the oysters are HUGE!

First time visiting. We were welcomed by a sweet young lady who explained everything got us a menu. We ordered a variety of things! Everything was delic! Tarter sauce is amazing. Batter was a little on the salty side but overall excellent experience.

My goodness....This is the first restaurant here in Central Indiana that's worth dining at. My catfish nuggets were so juicy and tender yet crunchy and flavorful, not overcooked and hard, just perfect. I'm savoring every bite of it . Even the sides were super delicious. I highly recommend the okra and the green beans. I will definitely be back again. My meal was worth every penny plus more. Brought back good childhood memories And the customer service was excellent! All around 5 stars!

Our food was tasty, my walleye fillets didn't smell fishy at all, they gave big portions of sides as well. A lot of fresh sea/lake products here are very interesting. The place feels clean too, definitely recommended if you feel like eating fresh seafood

First visit to Caplingers, and the gentleman behind the counter helped me out with my order. And even put it on ice for me, because I wasn't going to get back home for 4 hours. And I got the breading that they have and fried it up that evening. It was delicious!!!
