Reviews for The Fish Market | Southside in Birmingham, AL
Nice place to visit in birmingham for seafood. Overall the oysters and fish I tasted are fresh and juicy and the environment is... bright and joyful. We order some daily specials and the whole baked bass and oysters. Our favorite side is the broccoli andfried okra. Does the quality is the best in its price range in birmingham? I think it?s kinda fair price but not the best. Read more
Very friendly staff, excellent food, very relaxed atmosphere. What else to say?. Oh? right.. a glimpse of Greece in the antiques... store in the restaurant. Be sure to stop by when you are in Birmingham. Try the VIP snapper. I recommend it. Thank you The FishMarket. Read more
Wow! What a remodeling. It's been nearly a decade since I stopped in and they've finally gotten rid of the cafeteria style... ordering/line. It's now your standard restaurant seating (previously a free for all) with a main bar. We were running late for ashow at the nearby theater and the staff kindly rushed our order. We were in&out in 30min! Same great service, same amazingfood! Loved the shrimp and grits, definitely a must-try. ????if helpful, thanks!???? Read more
Nice seafood selection! The crab claws are my favorite! The staff is friendly, especially the bartender ???? I rated a 4 because... the night that we went there was no server to take our order in the area we sat in so we had to go to the register to order ourfood. They did bring it out to us though! Parking was good! Overall it's a nice place and we had a good experience! Read more
I took my mother here for her birthday because she has been talking nonstop about this restaurant since seeing George on some of... the news shows. I have to admit that we were simply blown away by the food, the service, and the atmosphere. Our waitress wasamazing and so very attentive. She answered any questions we had about the menu and was amazing about helping us pick out someof the best foods to try. I had the Maryland Crab Cake and honestly it was the best one I've had. It was packed full of largechunks of crab and the corn hash was full of flavor that married with the crab cake perfectly. I could have just had the crabcake itself as a meal, it was devine. For my main dish I had the stuffed Rainbow Trout. It was beautifully cooked and seasonedperfectly. We will most definitely be back and it has become our top favorite restaurant in Birmingham.

The only good part of our meal was the cajun fried catfish strips. The fried calamari was not crispy and extremely chewy, the... manager removed it from our bill. My son ordered the popcorn shrimp, which was also not crispy at all, with a strong fishyflavor. The manager argued that the shrimp was cooked that way to please the masses. I have never went anywhere that friedseafood served soggy was preferred. I will definitely never be back. Very average place. But our server was super nice! Read more
This location ( Southside) has never disappointed! Great food , did I say GREAT! A nice, unique atmosphere, and friendly service... rounded out with a store chopped full of items that can help you reach close results at home. If local , the market is not justa name, take home fresh seafood ( fish cut to your order) and get started. I personally love the tuna steak. Snapper isexcellent and the grill won't disappoint, and if you've never had John's slaw give it with the sauce a try. Read more

Very tender very good! Read more
