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.
