82
Score
The health department has logged 18 inspections at Kingfish Seafood, the earliest from 2012. Kingfish Seafood was last inspected on Oct 4, 2018. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. No fresh inspection data is available: the latest entry for Kingfish Seafood dates to Oct 4, 2018.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near five violations each time.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, showing up 13 times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
