Good prices, great quality and friendly and pleasant. A++ Ordered huge order of crab legs and shrimp and they steamed them to perfection.

Ask for two lunch specials today ($9 ea. on Wednesday) for me and my guest. Paid $20, water for $6 more and 20% tip. Cashier handed me one fish sandwich and said that was what I ordered. read more

Got a fried catfish sandwich, it was delicious nuff said. It is a lot of fish, comes with a side of fries as well. The fish is very fresh and very well cleaned, just frankly delicious. Everything was battered and fried on the spot so it's not been sitting around, you can taste the difference. Service is at the pace of the fryer so expect to wait for a fresh fried fish. read more

We placed a carryout order for 2 pounds of steamed shrimp and a dozen oysters. During pick-up, the area was moderately busy; service appeared to be running smoothly. Staff was disengaged when order was called, did not inform that the oysters were not shucked & when we got to the house, we discovered no tools to shuck, no lemon wedges, or cocktail sauce for the shrimp. We were disappointed. Overall the shrimp were fine, but with more pleasant options for seafood, likely we will not return. (We tried to open the oysters, but no luck! Also, I didn't want to have to go to the ER!!) read more

Looking to buy 18 littleneck clams. The sign was "$7 dozen". I asked for 18 clams. "Only sold by the dozen" I was told. I'm not looking to buy 9 1/2 clams. "So, you want 12, or 24"? Counter guy was a tool. No, I'd like to speak with a manager. After 5 mins, I left for Copp's Seafood. read more

Great fresh seafood options! In particular, the swordfish was great and the rest of my party enjoyed their meals too.

Our service was very attentive and thoughtful. We split our salad and dinner and were really full. I loved the tuna fish dressing and crackers as a starter. The Brussel sprout salad was crisp and fresh tasting. Loved the scallops and oysters we shared. He ate all the shrimp. Loved the fresh spinach and green beans. We mainly came because it's pi day. They had two pies we could use to celebrate it with. We are going for peanut butter pie. Restaurant was very clean and I loved the paper and crayons on the table. I also appreciated the old bay seasoning on the table ready to use. The pie was not too sweet but decadent. Love! Thank you so much for putting the pi symbol on the plate for him. read more

We went to the restaurant asking about outdoor dog-friendly seating, but they don't have it in the off season. So we asked about to-go orders and they sent us to the market next door. We were able to order quickly and our food was ready within 20 minutes. The seafood was fresh and delicious. All the fried seafood (oysters, seafood combo) were great and the crab cake sandwich disappeared in a few minutes. My grilled scallops were flavorful and tender, not rubbery at all. My only complaint is I think they gave me one wrong dish -- I had ordered the teriyaki glazed scallops with saffron rice and fries, but they just gave me a scallop skewer with fries. Regardless it was still delicious! read more

Went on a Sunday af 1:45 cases were empty shelves were empty on a Sunday in June ? I don't get it . All the salads in the case were empty and the ones that did have food it was dismal . Not gojng back anytime soon very disappointed. Used to come here all the time read more

Nice fresh seafood offered but it can be a tad pricey IMHO. I have also had many orders where they "forgot" to include a dish or side order in my bag. I have had to go through the bag at pick up every time to ensure everything I ordered was in there. I even got a fried chicken salad that had no chicken on it! I had to drive back to pick up the chicken with little (no) apology from the hostess. So now I have to inspect each item ordered to insure all the ingredients are on it? Are you kidding me? The manager that typically rings you up and answers phones is a bit short and condescending with customers as well. That coupled with constantly missing items ordered sadly keeps me away now. read more

Spent $10 for their cup of crab pumpkin bisque soup and there's NO crab in it. This soup started off years ago amazing and has declined drastically. Do not buy it read more

this is the second time in a month I shopped at the market and got fish I couldn't eat. I picked up scallops and when I opened the container to cook them there was a terrible ammonia smell so I threw them out. second time this happened to me. no more visits to this market read more

They're quick to take your order and help. Lately the salt air goat cheese dip has been off but still good with the selection they have. Smoke tuna dip - good. And their mound full peanut butter pie is one of my fave desserts Worth every bit of $10. Is a bit costly in general but it's the beach and people need to get paid, pay their bills too read more

The food is good. The customer service could use some improvements. The take out counter is a bit slow with helping customers. There are a lot of staff working in the kitchen, at the fish counter, and two cashiers taking orders. There's two people in line...it took over 10 minutes for them to take orders. These were not big orders, only 3-4 items. The staff were not helpful, they stood around talking to each other, looking bored, and texting on their cell phones, etc. Once we got the food-it was delicious. We ate outside at the picnic tables. There were no trash cans anywhere to throw the trash away--which is weird because they had a lot of tables and chairs for people to eat right outside of the market. Where do they expect people throw away trash when they're done??? I see a lot of people picking up catering orders while we were eating outside. I guess it's more conducive to do that, rather than order take out lunch there. The food IS good. The service at the counter is not. A little tweaking on the customer service would improve this place so much. read more

The front desk staff at my hotel recommended that I visit Big Fish when I asked for recommendations on where to get good crab cakes, given that they are a seafood market, expect more turnover and the seafood to be fresher. Visited one Saturday afternoon around 4PM and the store was pretty empty, waited about 15 minutes for the order to be ready. Ordered the crab cake entree that came with 2 crab cakes and 2 sides (picked mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach), the market price for the entree was $40. The crab cakes were of good size, had jumbo lumps of crab, very little filler, and loved the creamy dipping sauce -- very satisfied with the crab and the sides. Definitely would love to come back again. read more

After I posted negative review, the Manager of the restaurant called me and gave me a chance to explain what happened and agreed to give me a full refund. Stand-up response. I will definitely be going back! read more

The best we have found in Rehoboth for fresh uncooked fish. There is a seafood market about a block before that we stopped into first that had no selection so finding this place was great. We also tried the 'fresh market. Big fish had no flounder, sole, or Chilean sea bass when we stopped in, however their sushi grade tuna was excellent and they had black and while sesame seeds to compliment. They were also very accommodating to cut pieces whatever size we wanted. They had a verity of cheese and cut cakes that looked tasty. We tried a prepared potato au gratin from their salad & sides but this was a fail. We took two of them. They told us it's precooked just heat in the microwave the first one we heated and it was crunchy (had the consistency of half cooked onions). The potatoes were hard and undercooked. The next one we cooked for at least 5 then +2 for the same result. We threw them both out. . They are a small shop so they're not one stop but they have a thoughtful selection worth checking out and we'll be back. The second time we stopped in was closer to dinner time and their parking lot was full. Their restaurant is right next door and draws crowds. read more

Grabbed takeout from Big Fish Seafood Market on a Sunday evening and food was ready within 25 minutes. We ordered a regular jambalaya (side of French fries), which we found out was also gluten free. I'm severely gluten sensitive so I ordered gluten free crab cakes with sides of the sweet potato mash and spinach. My husband said the jambalaya was good, not too spicy, and a lot of food (he could barely eat half). The 2 small GF crab cakes were tasty, but incredibly tiny, and did not come with a side of sauce. But the sweet potato mash and spinach were good. My food was not filling at all, yet was double the price (jambalaya was $20, two GF crab cakes were $40). So for the taste aspect and to be able tenjoy gluten free crab cakes, I would give them a 5. BUT the price and ridiculously small portions for the gluten free foods would be more like a 3. read more

We placed an order for four people at 5:40 PM and by 7:45 our food we're still not ready. My ultimate grilled combo was very good but the oysters were a big disappointment I found two live crawlers in there. The second one was too big for me not to take a picture. So basically the oysters were not cleaned well enough. they were not served on ice like we used to get it from them before. This place is slacking since the lockdown. We used to come here all the time when we're in the ocean city area. read more

It pains me to write this because I've been a fan for 15+ yrs. I got salmon carry out & the salmon was overcooked & tasteless. Then I was sick after eating it. A few nights later I picked up a spinach salad & wound up throwing it away because more than 1/2 the Spinach was too rotten to eat. read more

Are you all aware of their lunch and dinner carry-out menu? We use it as a grocery store - primarily for seafood, but occasionally we'll grab other stuff (e.g., cheese, sausage, crackers, salad etc.). If we lived closer, you can bet we'd be dining on takeout from this place on a regular basis. As a market, the selection tends to be higher-end and a bit limited (i.e., think seafood market + other useful items). The seafood selection, however, is high-end and terrific! Sushi-grade Tuna. Amazing (cold) smoked salmon... the list goes on... very nice! read more

I wrote a "TWO_STAR" review a week ago and though the problems with that order were real and annoying and had given me reason to find other places to buy seafood, the manager called me, apologized and sent me a generous gift card. It is one thing to screw up an order but there is good reason to see this glitch in the service of the order I received on July 15 as a one-time thing and I have a renewed confidenece that the Big Fish Market will be the quality place I have known in the past. read more

The staff has been very pleasant and helpful. I try to different dishes and preparations, when I visit. My eyes get so happy when I visit Big Fish Market. There are sides, drinks, desserts and other prepackaged items available. The Peanut Butter Pie and Big Fish Bakery cookies are delicious. Hey, I have a love affair with peanut butter. My aunt religiously orders the egg rolls, which are behemoth "appetizers" that serve as a meal. I enjoy eating outside or just taking the food with me. I enjoy every morsel. read more

We just moved to Delaware and wanted to find a good seafood market. Stopped here and were glad we did. Understanding that COVID has limited many places on what and how much they sell, they had a nice assortment. We ended up getting some marinated salmon and crab cakes. Both were excellent. The price was reasonable and we will definitely go there again. read more

If I could leave zero stars, I would. 1. It's incredibly dirty inside. A huge red flag at a fish market. 2. Right on the shore...and nothing local. Shrimp from Thailand and Texas. 3. Stinks inside. You can smell the lack of freshness. 4. The coolers that house fish sweat so much, you cannot see the actual fish...so good luck gauging it's age/quality. 5. Customer service is absolutely terrible. 6. Fish is not fresh at all. It's noticeably older. Being that it's from so far away...and no longer frozen...that makes sense. I worked at a fish market on Cape Cod for multiple summers. So many red flags at Big Fish Market! Don't buy the fish. read more

I've been enjoying BFG's food for over about 18 years now, but last time I picked up carry out, the Halibut was overcooked and tasteless, salad was semi-wilted. Sorry to say, but it's a far cry from what it used to be. read more

I am a seafood lover, so I thought this would be a good place to go with reasonable prices. I ordered a combo meal to carry out and was very disappointed. I give this place two stars because the people were nice, but the food was terrible. I was very hungry, so I ate some of the food, but threw out more than half, and I am someone who wastes food! Maybe during the summer season the food is better, but I don't believe I will be going back. read more

We've always had great meals from BFG locations. We've never been disappointed. The seafood market is also great for carry out. I'd highly recommend. If anyone had a bad experience it must've been an off day because usually they're very consistent. Can't wait for the new one to open in Bethany Beach/Fenwick Island. Welcoming 2021! read more

So I called there and asked them if the salmon was farm raised and if it had color added and they assured me it was not color-added and then I found out that All farm raised salmon has color added ... they specifically made me wait and asked that question to the manager .... No words but if you don't know this why would I trust anything you tell me needless to say I did not go there to buy salmon read more

The food might be great, but the employees are "over-the-top" rude. The woman at the door almost knocked me to to the floor, as she yelled at me "you, over there". If I had fallen, it might have been an ambulance trip for me. These young people should learn some respect for Senior Citizens read more

Food is good but staff is usually very dismissive and rude. They act like they are doing you a favor by waiting on you. Seriously thinking of never going back. Quite different than in restaurant. Everything there is great especially staff. read more

Horrific service. Whats the point of pre ordering food if you make your customers wait over 60, literally 60 full minutes just to pick it up? The staff is also really disorganized and they are dismissive when you ask them where the food is and to later realize that they screwed up. It took them 45 minutes to even realize that they screwed up and never made my order. There is clearly an expectation set among the staff that its perfectly acceptable to be routinely late for pickup orders. Further, the staffs priority is clearly focused on not being bothered from their current task of accepting new orders. Meanwhile they have 3 people taking orders and money and 1 girl running around handing food out. Does that even make sense? Here is an idea, take less orders, you are self centered and inconsiderate of your customers. Your time is not more valuable than mine. Not worth waiting 50 minutes for mediocre $7 box lunches. And I EMPHASIZE medicore. While my experience was certainly worse than most, its worth noting that my experience was not entirely unique. Every person who was in front of me in line waited at least 20-30 minutes for their pre ordered food. They gave me a credit for a future purchase. Needless to say I will not be using it. I read more

We really enjoyed the food we purchased and took back to our beach house. The real standouts were the cream of crab soup and goat herb cheese spread but all of the seafood was fresh and delicious. We did lobster night and the clam bake for a birthday celebration with a delicious roasted beet salad. Makes me hungry just thinking about it! Mary Beth was wonderful to work with. read more

Best seafood market in the area. They buy for both the market and restaurant, and do a lot of business, so you know the stuff is fresh. Their tuna, in particular, is first rate, and blackens perfectly. The clams and mussels are immaculately clean and fresh. If you're lucky, you'll be there when they are loading fresh baguettes into the basket. Crispy and warm. Perfection. Unless you have some kind of strange hang up, wacky question, or phantom "intolerance", you will love this place. Ignore the crazies reviewing here, shop at this place. These people earn your business. read more

Not bad quality, but very limited selection, especially in freezer. Half the cooler is house made salads, not fish. I'm going to look around more and prove to myself that there isn't a better option. read more

This has been our go to since being in quarantine. The food is consistently fresh, we've ordered a variety of types of cuisine with each one being better than the last! Incredibly sanitary with one employee opening the front door so no patrons touch the handle and only three people allowed in the market at once. All employees had masks and gloves as well. We will continue to support Big Fish! read more
