The Sunflower State is renowned for many things, but we have to say that we’re not particularly known for seafood restaurants in Kansas. As a landlocked region miles away from the ocean, fish and shrimp are not the first foods to come to mind when you think of Great Plains delicacies. You may be surprised to learn that right in the heart of Kansas City is a delicious fresh seafood market and restaurant. Mad Jack’s Fresh Fish is the epitome of a no-frills seafood shack in Kansas, but it serves up delicious fish worthy of the coast!
Mad Jack’s is tucked away on State Avenue. Big Eleven Lake, a small three-acre man-made reservoir, is a few blocks away, but otherwise, there’s not much aquatic in this inner-city area!

Don’t feel like dealing with taking fresh seafood home to prepare it? No worries, Mad Jack’s has a small restaurant inside as well. Pick up already-cooked delights like fried fish.
