78
Score
Inspectors have visited J & J Fish 26 times, with records going back to 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 25, 2022. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. The file hasn't been updated since Mar 25, 2022, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around five violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “proper cooling methods used” has been the most frequent reason, cited 11 times.
By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting J & J Fish on the weaker side. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
