Seafood on the plate
Fat Cats is a seafood restaurant in Herkimer. The kitchen leans toward fish and shellfish, with fish fry, haddock, scallops, clam strips, seafood platters, and fish sandwich orders among the dishes that shape the room. A guest can come in for a quick sandwich or sit down with a fuller plate, and the menu also reaches into baskets and sides for a meal that stays in the same seafood lane.
The dining room works around hot food that leaves the kitchen ready to eat. Fried fish brings a crisp shell and a tender center. Scallops and clam strips change the texture on the plate, while haddock and fish sandwich orders keep the focus on a familiar local style. Seafood platters add a larger spread for anyone who wants a longer meal, and the kitchen still keeps the path simple for a faster stop.
Fat Cats carries a 4.7 rating from 318 reviews. That score sits beside the food itself and gives a clear sign of how the place lands with diners who come for fish fry Herkimer meals, shellfish plates, and the kind of seafood dinner that can stand on its own. The menu also includes the full seafood lineup, so the home page can stay focused on the restaurant’s core identity while the menu page handles the wider range.
