If you thought you’d had your last bite of crispy fish from Marino’s Seafood Fish & Chips, think again.
The beloved Grandview spot, which announced its closure just a few months ago after 32 years in business, is officially reopening on August 20.
Originally, owners Harry and Rosemarie planned to retire and hand over the reins to Arthur Treacher’s, keeping the same staff and spirit alive. It would have been a big deal for the Ohio-based fish and chips spot, which hasn’t had a Columbus location in decades.
But as Marino’s shared on Facebook, “sometimes things just don’t work out.” The Treacher’s deal fell through, and now the original crew is back, ready to serve the same fried-to-perfection seafood fans have loved for decades.
For longtime customers, it’s a twist ending nobody saw coming — and a very delicious one at that. So mark your calendar, tell your friends, and get ready to welcome Marino’s back the best way possible: with a plate piled high with fish and chips.
