Our Story

Rooted in Springfield,
Serving the Community

Sharks Fish & Chicken has been a neighborhood staple on South Grand Avenue, serving up some of the best fried fish and chicken in Springfield. We started with a simple idea: make food we'd be proud to serve our own families.

Every piece of fish is hand-battered and fried fresh. Every order comes out hot, fast, and with the kind of flavor that makes this place a local favorite. Whether you're grabbing a quick dinner or feeding the whole family, we've got you covered.
