If you are looking for a unique dining experience when you are in Jacksonville, Florida you should not miss the short drive to:

Clark’s Fish Camp
12903 Hood Landing Rd
Jacksonville, FL 32258
(904) 268-3474

To get to Clark’s you will drive through a residential area which will (eventually) dead-end at Clark’s.   The first thing you will notice about Clark’s is that it doesn’t look like much on the outside.  It’s an old rustic building that sits on a river. 

Your first choice at Clark’s will be to either sit inside or outside.  I’d  opt for outside if the weather permits as on my visit I was treated to seeing turtles, fish jumping out of the river and even a pair of small alligator.

The menu at Clark’s is rather large and includes a large variety of fried, grilled and blackened fish as well as steaks and salads.   On the day that I visited the menu included several exotic choices including python, alligator ribs, llama and kangaroo.    While I wasn’t able to try as many entrees as I would have liked, I was able to judge that most people visiting on this day were locals and that usually indicates that the food is alone is worth the stop.

Roger’s Tip:   Weather permitting, be sure to sit outside for the free nature show.
