Amazing local gem for fried foods. You can tell it's made with love. Everytime we order it's fresh and delicious!! Highly recommend the catfish and Mac and cheese. Also the poboys are all bangers. AJ da man. Period! No pic cuz I ate it all quickly lol read more

One of the Best tasting fried fish spots in Riverside County. Reminded me of the fish spots I grew up eating in LA. The flavor was delicious and nostalgic, the pricing was good. Definitely good portions and polite service. Will be back soon. read more

Not for me. I didn't care for the flavors. Not a fan of the batter. The fish itself was on the fishier side. I'm not big on that. I prefer my fish to not be fishy lol The macaroni and cheese tasted different, but it was edible. I probably would not eat that again though. If I had a choice between that Mac and cheese and another kind- I would pick the other kind lol This macaroni and cheese had spice in it? It took away from the cheesy part. I guess I didn't like the rue. The hush puppies were alright. They definitely have a southern kind of twang on their food, that I apparently don't like lol My husband and his family are from Tennessee and he didn't like this style of fish. He got the catfish and said it wasn't to his preference. Ambiance was slow. No one was in there. I would not comeback here just because it's not my style and my husband was excited for southern hospitality, but this did not hit the spot. read more

Bomb bomb food!! Like seriously soooo delicious We tried a few things and please make sure to get the Buffalo Shrimp Fries Super loaded with Mac & cheese, buffalo sauce, shrimp and cheese. I usually don't like the super acidic buffalo sauce but this one's not like that. It's just perfect. We had the catfish and red snapper Prefer the catfish not both very good The sides were great Kool Aid available and also on point Service is fast (thank God because kids were hungry) We all loved it read more

Whenever someone wants me to recommend them some good chicken wings. This is the place to go to. They have different flavors. They also have the BEST Mac n cheese. Everyone that's there is sweet and caring, you wanna mom and pop shop this is your spot! They have areas to sit there, or take it to go! We used to drive 30 minutes just for these WINGS. Luckily, I just moved across the street. read more

Glad we found AJs. The red snapper dinner plate is a sin with yams and collard green. Another favorite is the shrimp fries, you have to go hard. read more

Been hearing about this place but we are never in that side of town. My visit here was intentional because I wanted to try it. Ordered the 5 piece red snapper dinner with two sides. I picked collard greens and Mac n cheese for my sides. Fish was alright. I didn't like the greens because it was bitter. First time I ever had collard greens was in South Carolina and it was super delicious so I was hoping to get the same experience here but nope. Mac n cheese was ok as well. Service was just fine. Ambiance was not much of an ambiance. This is probably a mom and pop shop so it's all good. Lastly, I like their corn bread muffins. My meal was $18.99. Portion was pretty good. read more

AJ'S Fish Market - 5 Pieces fried Red Snapper Dinner - Chicken Wings Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

Really love and enjoy their food! We made a large to-go order a couple days ago and was pretty surprised with how fast it was going to take to be done. I showed up and the transaction was easy and everyone working was super kind and friendly! Really excited about a point system they have, too! They even offered help carrying my order to out to the car which was such a nice gesture. I ordered the Buffalo Shrimp Fries which were sooooo so good. Husband had Catfish Po Boy which he really liked! Kids loved their chicken/shrimp meals, and the sides were perfect! Loved the fried okra!! I have family coming soon from out of town and I'm excited to order again to have them try AJ's Fish Market! Thanks again! The food was so good, and we can't wait to come back soon! read more

We met AJ yesterday he is so nice.. He helped me order since it was my first time here.. He also told my friend she can place her bakery business cards in his spot.. Everything was good and made to order.. We will definitely be back! read more

I'm stuffed! Food was so good! I had the catfish lunch with macaroni and cheese and a cherry kool-aid. The food was perfectly seasoned, but SEASONED it was! MMMM The customer service is great! read more

The taste has gone down A LOT since the lady owner is not there much. Also, the guy who is there all the time (maybe her son ) has a horrible personality. He has zero customer service skills. He makes people feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. His demeanor takes away from the ambiance. It's sad because I really like AJs. I'm not going to give up on them just yet. If the taste and quality doesn't improve like it used to then I'm going to have to find another place. read more

Well I forgot to take a picture of the food because it looked so good we devoured our fish and chicken! Service was amazing! The food tasted amazing very homey read more

Great Food!! I Enjoy Eating At AJ'S. The Food Is Cooked To Perfection. The Staff Is Friendly. read more

Food takes a while to come out but it's very good comfort food. You will need a nap after.

All I have to say is "Yummy!". We went today and the food portions were beyond surprising. They give you whole fish pieces not the small half sizes most fish places give you. The jumbo shrimp are just that jumbo shrimp! The food is excellent quality. And don't get me started on the sweet potato fries. They must cut the sweet potatoes because they definitely are't frozen. AJ the owner was in the restaurant cooking himself so he really cares about his restaurant! The music was an added bonus. read more

I don't know why I never reviewed this place before. AJ fish market has the best soul food. I don't even live in the IE but when I am out there they are my go to. This weekend I was having my baby shower out there and hand down I knew I wanted them to cater my event. The food was amazing. Everyone ate all the food so much so all I got was one piece of chicken. Next time I will have to buy more. Thank you for catering my baby shower and having some of the best food out there. read more

AJ's Fish Market is a hidden gem in Lake Elsinore. Nestled inconspicuously in a shopping plaza corner, this place deserves more recognition (I don't want new foot traffic ruining my spot though lol!) The staff is very nice, the service lets you know they treat their customers like family and the food is hot and fresh. I ordered for my family of four plus three dogs and my order was packaged and ready within 20 minutes! The corn muffins with some butter and honey, will get you full if you lack self-control. My Aunt from back East said their Yams and Greens were official, and the Catfish and Fried Chicken wings were devoured by my family and my dogs. You know it's good chicken if dogs eat their dinner protein and all their kibble! I will be a customer as long as I am a resident of the area! read more

I heard about this place through TikTok and had to check it out. It is a spot near Lake Elsinore's lake with fair pricing and portions. In summary, excellent customer service, the best tartar sauce, slaw and potato salad were delicious. Lastly, the collard greens are absolutely savory and tasty. Support this small business and check them out! Ordered: buffalo fish 4 stars read more

Coleslaw, sweet potato fries, red snapper, and catfish is my favorite; delicious!!! Yum yum gotta get me some. ;)

Cute little hidden gem I didn't ask, but definitely seems like a family business in order. Lady helped us take our order. She was a very sweet. We spent about $119 for it. A lot of food fed five people. The food was really tasty. I have really no complaints except you should ask for the fish to be fried well done almost crispy. It was kind of soggy inside our fault we should've asked for well done the shrimp was so delicious. I could still taste it now lol anyways please support this business. Everything was good besides that little hiccup on our end. read more

AJ'S Fish Market - Cat Fish Mac n cheese Fried shrimp kool aid - Chicken Wings Near Me - Lake Elsinore, California

My husband has been craving a fish plate for a long time! He's from North Carolina and when we go visit, that's usually when he'll have a plate. Since I'm a huge Yelper, I went onto Yelp to look for a fish fry place and found AJ's! So of course he says let's go over there and it's a little over 20 minutes from us, but it was well worth the drive! We've been there twice so far and it has not been crowded either time. We order our food and we take it to go and it seems like others do the same thing. There was one family who did come and sit down at the tables, but other than that, it seems like a lot of the people walking in were ordering to go. The food is great. The service is amazing and we will definitely be going back! read more

Hit or miss...he's the only out there, so no competition. Hospitality A-1 fish is mid but I'll leave it there

We had always came her before COVID-19, it was always best for our family gatherings, then after COVID-19, we don't know why the flavored is different. Was not the same, it was good, but not preferably our favorite for family get together. This is still a place we go to, not as often like before. read more

Whenever I'm in the area I always manage to grab a plate or two. Service is great , your greeted. It's clean inside. A nice spot for a quick lunch or bunch, or carry out. read more

My Review, My Opinion IJS.......Lake Elsinore!!!!!!!! Out of all my reviews since I've been reviewing. This is the BEST Fish, Greens, Mac& Cheese. The Yams will make you want to slab somebody. When I say oh soooooooooo delicioussssssss. I mean each bite, the juice from the greens is good. The Mac&Cheese will have you talking to yourself. The service is phenomenal. 5STAR is an understatement!!!IJS....I will drive the 45mins for this right here....Went home to finish the rest and when I say it was even better then. I'm blown away!! AJ's need to give some people some lesson on takeout..IJS ( We need this in Moreno Valley) IJS read more

Delicious! I saw this place originally on Instagram. Took me a while, but finally gave it a try. I chose the catfish poboy. The flavor and seasoning were immediate and amazing! Everything was fresh and hot. Fries had a nice crisp but were soft on the inside. The bread used for the poboy was soft and delicious. Will absolutely be back! read more

Found this little hidden gem back when Covid restrictions were a thing. Stumbled upon it after going back from a day of hiking. Instantly fell in love. The fish is fresh and delicious. Perfectly battered and seasoned, fried to golden perfection the meat is always tender and flaky never dry. The service is always friendly and fast. The food is cooked to order but it's never a super long wait. They have fried okra, Mac and cheese, hush puppies, collard greens... do i need to go on?! I was in heaven!! Love AJs and will forever be a returning customer!! read more
