Aqua Fresh as of last week has an expanded menu. The owner also owned Broom Bush in Emeryville which burned down a few months ago. As they take time to repair the restaurant the menu will now be served at Aqua Fresh. Breakfast lunch and dinner. They will also be open 7 days a week. I had the scramble and country potatoes. Delicious. To me. And a pancake on the side. So yummy. A huge portion at a fair price. Please come check it out. If you like Aqua Fresh and/or breakfast come check them out. Haven't tried any other items but definitely will return to do so. Of course they are always kind. The service is fast and the ambiance is the same. They have added a few extra tables and chairs for more to come in and sit to eat. Come see. read more

Food very good. Got the fried catfish--yummy and the price is a good value. Fast service.

Never eat I complained that the food was spoiled, but they said they never sold such food read more

OLD DIRTY SEAFOOD buyer beware. Please don't patronize this place the sandwich that I got made me sick. I should've noticed the quality when looking at my sandwich so part of the blame is on me old wilted lettuce, no tomato, white onions, no pickles, fish breaking apart as you're biting them to the sandwich , or really a waste of money. If you're looking for a great fish sandwich, look up Mama T's in DT Oakland. read more

Service was good and the food was fresh. I ordered a Prawn sandwich w/ fries. The Prawns were big, the bread was fresh, the fries were hot and seasoned just right. Definitely plan on going back. read more

I was introduced to this place from a special someone. This is the place to go if you want some real good quality fried fish /prawns.

This is my go to spot for fried fish and wings. The employees are pleasant, and the food is made fresh and piping hot. I have not ever had a bad meal here, and love all the side dishes (salads, watermelon, deviled eggs, macaroni etc...). Good hearty portions. read more

Ehhh. It's just ok. The prawn sandwich is good BUT they drown in tartar sauce. I mean sweet tartar sauce with wilted iceberg lettuce. Can't say if or when I'll return. read more

My best friend told me about this place, she said the fried oysters were good. It cost around the same as JJs. The difference is the size and amount, I mean sure they give you more but they hella small. They good but ehh the other place was bigger, juicer and more feeling. read more

Their fish is meaty & delicious! I highly recommend this place. It's been in business over 20 years. The quality hasn't changed. I ordered catfish, snapper and shrimp. Sides of cole slaw, potato salad and hush puppies (that were forgotten in my order). Potato salad was good, cole slaw ok. Hot sauce was mild but very good. Tartar sauce was good. read more

I've been here twice already, just found the place it's a couple door down from my nail shop. The only thing I've ever ordered is the prawn sandwich. It's good the shrimp is fried fresh the roll is pretty tasty. Tried ordering deviled eggs once(idk why) lol I'll just stick with the prawn sandwiches. read more

Aqua Fresh Seafoods - Seafood Markets Near Me - Oakland, California

Do I have any fellow 80's Soulbeat viewers out there? Well don't ask, but BF-Jayson came across an old school Soulbeat commercial for Aqua Fresh Seafoods in Oakland this past Friday & sure enough folks, that was our Friday dinner *tee-hee* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFFLxd_Gy2o LOCATION: On MacArthur Blvd close to Foothill Square area, & directly across from Church's Chicken http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rcgLr05Xv-mWo-rJVnXVnA?select=9x_VUHbYNnyGoVI8NHCIWQ Now that photo was stolen from Google-Maps; although the street-view looks barren, this street isn't! I didn't get a chance to take a pic 'cuz MacArthur is just a busy street during the day. Yeah, it's in the "ghetto" so prob not ideal spot to visit for the light-heart or non-Oakland folks, but if u're up for it go for it. Now my review is only the 2nd review of this place while 1st review from our fellow foodie Yelper Victor G back in Jan '08...guess folks don't really travel these parts of Oakland. Personal suggestion on parking, just park @ Church's Chicken directly across the street ;-) RESTAURANT: Now the commercial from 1989 has a brotha in it, but it appears to be Asian owned (think the mom was cooking & son was taking orders). Few tables & bench seats inside, spacious & clean...nothing special on decoration http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rcgLr05Xv-mWo-rJVnXVnA?select=E4sVhCZhA8T470zfV2owCQ CUST SVC: Basically empty on a Friday about 5:40pm (we say their heaviest competitor is Las Palmas might be the reason why so empty; another one of our fav Oakland spots), young man was patient while we surveyed the menu above to fig out what to eat. Very friendly & helpful with letting us know how we could switch-up an order, or what not. Placed our oder & waited prob 10-min as mama-san cooked the food. Pleasant & clean eatery really. MENU 1 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rcgLr05Xv-mWo-rJVnXVnA?select=QbbYBzDjbKj9bjLKwRJcNQ MENU 2 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rcgLr05Xv-mWo-rJVnXVnA?select=S9FmIbCxG97BKUMtjFvAbg MENU 3 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rcgLr05Xv-mWo-rJVnXVnA?select=KOe6IBedAQOAqCZJ7oyLlg MENU 4 http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rcgLr05Xv-mWo-rJVnXVnA?select=tPy3-CilZ0NGjQsgls1Olg ...if u peeped Menu 4, yes, they serve ice cream up in here too ;-) Prob like 12 (basic) flavors...mama-san a Hello Kitty fan too since son said his mom put the HK stickers next to the name of the ice cream label. Any HK/Sanrio fan gets kudos from me!...but we didn't taste the ice cream, so no review coverage on that aspect of this business. FOOD: Aaahh, finally...the food! Packaged up in a large pink plastic bag w/ a final price about $30. We got the 10-piece order for prawns, hushpuppies, & fried rice http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rcgLr05Xv-mWo-rJVnXVnA?select=l_7E0CpPlqwvVWXVTkAZ5g plus 4-piece order of sole & instead of going w/ 2-sides, we replaced w/ catfish http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/rcgLr05Xv-mWo-rJVnXVnA?select=_CmnTxQLgRy2Zu-tvqUUEg Of course sliced bread came w/ orders (typical of a soul food joints) & option for packet of hot sauce & tartar sauce, which we took too. Now for me, I grew up eating rice breakfast, lunch, dinner, or whenever...BF points out funny we came to a soul food spot & got fried rice, it always just goes over my head I tell 'ya. Anywho, the food was pretty tasty. Still warm traveling from Foothill Square Oakland back home to Castro Valley, prawns were large, hush puppies crunchy on outside but soft on inside, fish wasn't heavily battered & tasted fresh/soft to bite...fried rice was good too. Food supurb? No, but definitely good & worth trying out. Don't know what kind of hot sauce they use, but it had some "heat" to it that we both liked. END OF THE MEAL: We still had some prawns & fish left over that barely made the wkend really. Would we go back. Probably so...again, me & BF grew up in East Oakland, so some parts we don't mind venturing/revisting if food is good & priced right. Should you venture over here? That's ur call...just keep ur visits in the daytime. read more

My brother and I stopped here to get our seafood fix. I had catfish & prawns combo with fries. My brother had the catfish & chicken wings combo with fries. We were not disappointed! Everything was seasoned well, tasted fresh and came piping hot. We both agreed that the catfish was hands down the best. Don't get me wrong, the prawns and chicken wings were tasty too, but there was something about the catfish that really stood out. Definitely a spot to remember for hot, fresh seafood. read more

I always get the prawns and catfish with french fries it tastes really good but they also have a nice chicken wing ding meal

They are very friendly people, willing to please, that is where the stars came from. BUt the food was lacking to be desired. I was disappointed, everyone tries to imitate soul food, but it is not always achieved, good try but that is probably why you don't have the business you want. read more

across from popeye's, they sell seafood, ice cream and wings here 4 piece combos go for 6.34, 6 piece 8ish piece of buffalo, catfish, sole, i had the sole with 2 sides, french fries and potato salad. the salad was very cold, seems to have come from the ice cream section, the fries were crunchy, turned mushy later. the sole was pretty good, lightly breaded with meal and fried. 3 stars for the wings, -star for everything else. read more

Just happen to stop here today by accident drove by saw the fish and chips sign excited to give it a chance. The place is family owned the stuff is really nice plus they have a really nice fish menu. When I finally got the fish it was cooked to perfection. I will definitely come back here again and recommend this spot for anyone who's in the need for a quick snack on the go! read more

Recently went back food was absolutely better I did ask them to fry my food a little longer and the portions of the meals were nice. read more

Delicious different varieties of fish and friend to perfection. Also has a good selection of ice cream. Perfect place for a home cooked style lunch and dinner. read more

My family went there for seafood. Ordered the filet of sole. 15 piece. Every piece was less than a quarter of an inch thick. And less than 3 inches long. Seem like we was eating fish skins. We paid over 46.00. Plus over 38.00 dollars on other things. When I used to go there over 15 yrs ago you got the correct amount. Now I'll never go back again read more

Service was horrible. I went to check out this grand opening and the new owners are disrespectful and the taste if the good was very poor!

my friend got me hooked on the prawn sandwich which is amazing! it's so fresh and the fries are pretty good too! last night while waiting on my order they were preparing a party platter and it looked delicious. there were prawns chicken and 2 different fish. i wish it was my order lol but anyways the place is doesn't have much decor but who need that when you have a great and friendly staff and DELICIOUS food! read more

Catfish fried to soft, fries fried to hard. Cooks need to cook the fish longer or get a better quality fish. Maybe it is because it is frozen fish. I'll stick with JJ's read more

This may be a hidden spot!! With few reviews But I can say that The Seafood/ -Prawn shrimp Selection is season just right not to salty or not enough!! Which is the Fried Prawns they are Long and skinny ! Which has that good lightweight coating on it ! And the Red Snapper cook to where it's not hard but still is moist !! BUT HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY DONT RUSH UR ORDER TO WHERE UR FISH TASTE LIKE GREASE FROM NOT LETTING IT GET REAL HOT LIKE IT SUPPOSE TO. And I just wished they can start serving Cocktails sauce Too! 3.6 read more
