The website portrays this as a higher dining experience than it actually is. There's no bar and much of the food is deep fried and breaded but there are a few grilled options. We felt like all the breaded and fried food tasted like the same protein.. couldn't really tell what was inside because the breading took the flavor. The service was great and the place was clean. I think we were a bit distracted because, from the website we were expecting more than a fry shop. Also, no bar - but beer and wine... read more

My husband loves going on Friday for oysters and catfish! This evening we were disappointed with the service. We got our salad, and drinks with no silverware and straws! We requested them numerous times and finally our waitress showed up with plastic ware saying they didn't have any silverware available. I am not sure if we were supposed to stare at the food until the dishes were done but it certainly we were not expecting this experience. Sadly, we are seriously reconsidering our Friday seafood hangout. read more

Classic Longview restaurant. Food is good as well as service. Really wish they had some better beer selection... Had to settle for Shiner, which is decent. Love the atmosphere and it's tucked away location. read more

Went for early dinner. We both had lobster bisque which is not a bisque and was so awful we couldn't eat it. Had oysters beinville, Ponchatrain and Rockefeller.so disappointed, no flavor, worst ever in my 50 years of eating oysters. Crab balls the best of the 3 appetizers but that's stretching it to say the least. 3rd time to eat there in hopes it would be better. Chef needs help! Food is awful. Will not go back. read more

We just had a great lunch today. The shrimp is so fresh, and prices are reasonable. Our server Franco was very attentive and competent. We never have to wait for a table, and the ambiance is quiet and suitable for dining. I love this place! read more

I'm pleasantly surprised!! This is a hidden gem! Not that fancy and all, but the service was top-notch. The hostess made sure we were satisfied with our seats. The waitress did everything to make sure we were okay with our food and drinks. The food was delicious. We had appetizers, grilled talipia, salad, pento beans, cornvread sticks, french fries, fried catfish filet, corn dogs, grilled cheese, hamburger, poe boy, and some of the best catfish I have eaten. But, It was the whole catfish with fries that stole the show. Fried extra crispy and yummy!! read more

If you are looking for good seafood, fried catfish and oysters in east Texas than this is the place. Fried catfish was really good and the seafood gumbo was also another treat to enjoy. Jalapeño hush puppies are also what I would recommend too. Atmosphere is nice with that New Orleans vibe and feel to it. read more

Fishermans Market & Restaurant - Catfish dinner - Seafood Near Me - Longview, Texas

Well I wanted to like this place because I was looking for some seafood while I'm down in Longview visiting family for a few days. But all I can say was they was a big miss on the "charbroiled" oysters. First off they were $25 for a dozen which seems a little steep for being down there in Texas. And when I think of charbroiled I'm thinking of cheesy, gooey, great flavor cheese and butter just dripping off the oysters with different types of spices. But did I get that....uhhhh naw! I was really disappointed in the lack of flavor and the selection of cheese they had...tasted like store brought already shredded Parmesan. Now I'm use to cheeses like Monterey, pepper jack, hell even American or cheddar. That's so gooey when you try to lift the oyster off the shell the cheese is following you. Not at all with this "fake" cheese they had on it. And the oyster still was basically raw! Uggh! I don't like raw oysters. And the bread they had for what you are supposed to "dip" in all the buttery goodness was some hard ass hotdog bun....smdh Now I ate all of them because I didn't want to waste my money. And how that places looked inside I can tell they probably don't take to kindly of people sending back things. So I made myself gulp them down and I got out of there ASAP! And glad I did because they seemed to almost burn the whole place down because EVERYONE started to cough and sneeze from smoke coming from the back! They do offer wine and beer I didn't partake maybe that would have made the experience better...but i would not recommend this place. Mind was on crawfish they did not have them either. Maybe their fried seafood is better but I doubt I would waste my time coming here again. 3 1/2 just because I didn't try much anything else.. read more

Rustic atmosphere. The restaurant was outdated. The food was greasy. Service was ok.

Great clams! You can't find clams in Longview so I was thrilled to see it on the menu. I had that with their coleslaw and hush puppies. The clams were delicious as was the coleslaw. The hush puppies were bland though so next time I'll order the jalapeño hush puppies. I will be back, this place is great! read more

I had the cod, new potatoes, chowder and a salad. Salad and chowder came out first. Both were very good, even though the chowder had celery in it. Kind of odd. The void and new potatoes came out as I was finishing the salad. The fish was well cooked as were the potatoes. The service was really good! I would come back. read more

My family and I came here for a family meet up Saturday. Some came from Irving, Tx. and Shreveport. The customer service was TOP tier. The food was also good. The staff was so friendly. We will be coming back soon. read more

Ample portions. Great menu with many selections. Had fish tacos. Nice change of pace and were well prepared.

Everything I have ever tasted at this establishment has been mouthwatering. Must try for yourself you won't be disappointed

I really loved this place! The ambience had charm. It was like stepping into a high society restaurant in the victorian era. They do have a confusing setup. You order than sit down like a fast food place. Someone comes to you based on your number. Food was excellent! So delicious! read more

Wow! Not really a good wow. The oysters were good, but that was it.  The crab cake and stuffed shrimp were the worse I have ever had. The batter for the shrimp had no flavor. The service was great, not sure if that guy was a cook or a bus boy just hanging out in an apron, just thought that was werid. read more

This Longview icon dropped off my map for a while. my memories are momma getting fresh shrimp, and to go orders when I was young. Today, to celebrate my last day at wound therapy (rang the bell! iykyk) My husband took me here. Wow! over 50 years, and still NEVER disappoints!! chargrolled oysters were superb! my husband got grilled cod catch of the day and was thoroughly pleased! The BEST fried pickles in East Texas hands down! My catfish melted in my mouth and the stuffed shrimp and crab cakes were both luxurious and light. tartar sauce was exquisite! Gotta work on the cocktail sauce needs more horseradish in my opinion, but what does NOT need work was the service. TEN OUT OF TEN HANDS DOWN BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN EAST TEXAS!! This place is a hidden gem, and while I'm selfish to want keep it that way, this business needs it's props and compliments! We will continue the legacy, best seafood around! Thank you for a delightful, delicious experience! read more

Visit this place three times. All three times, the food wasn't bad, but the service was horrible. I don't think they like their job. Half shell oysters aren't as fresh. Their fish was good, just good. I think there are better places. Longview is small, so I guess this place is good for the Longview people since there aren't many seafood places. read more

Fishermans Market & Restaurant - a bowl of fried chicken and fries - Seafood Near Me - Longview, Texas

Worst meal that I ever had!! If I could give a minus it would be minus 5! Someone has bought and taken over because it's nothing like it used to be. They only had 2 Cajun meals and the red of the menu was fried fish, shrimp and fries. No cajun! I ordered crawfish etouffe and there was NO taste to it. A salad came with it and was nothing but lettuce and croutons! I will NEVER go back. Sucked big time! read more

I have been going here many years. The food is excellent and I recommend it. The service was acceptable.

Interesting set up. Good food, outstanding service, great menu. This place has been here for awhile which means it's gotta be decent. The bbq oysters were good. Maybe not as good as in the Quarter, but good none the less! read more

Go here for lunch 2-3 times per month, and always happy with the quality of the food, prices, selection, and service!

It's been a few years since I've eaten @Fisherman's Market but I regret to say it was somewhat disappointing. The flavor of the food was just off somehow. Maybe the kitchen was having a bad day but my friend & I just weren't impressed much. read more

Fisherman's Market is back! Was delicious and service was outstanding. We enjoyed our Tuesday night dinner!!

To me, it is a hidden treasure. It is on the west side of a shopping complex. It is not obviously noticeable and really seems out of place in that neighborhood. The chicken spaghetti and bread were very delicious. I think it has a creole sauce. They have a lot of food options. read more

We placed our To Go Order at 5:36 pm on Thursday evening and we're told it would only be a 15-20 minute wait. We had our two granddaughters with us and promised them it would be a quick stop! We arrived before 6:00 pm and my husband went inside to pay and pick up food. Our granddaughters and I stayed in the car for 35 minutes waiting....Finally, I decided to go in to check on my husband, after one hour after we placed our order they gave us our food order. The young and inexperienced wait staff were rude and unapologetic about lying to us and promising the food would be ready for pickup in 20 minutes. read more

I really like it here I do but I do have to give like 3.5 really. We do eat here I say about once every month or so sometimes it might be more. But I have always gotten the same bucket of fried shrimp and the seafood gumbo. It's all super good the gumbo is my favorite. But it's a hit or miss in the shrimp sometimes it's perfectly fried then another it's a bit dark. And sometimes I believe it feels like they were not cleaned out like you know the poop string is still there on some. Which freaks me out. But I still eat there and like it. I do t go in I always pick up and take home. The only thing I really don't like is the hush puppies they are so plain. I really wish the had the round homemade ones with jalapeños and onions in them. And the price is high but that's just sea food right!? read more

The oyster Rockefeller was on point! But, my daughter had the salmon...it was so over cooked it was gray! She said the seasoning was good, inedible!! They recooked it came back same as first time The manage then tried to tell me "That's how it's cooked, that's how our customers like it" my blood pressure skyrocketed!! No one over cooks Salmon ‍We will only eat oysters IF we go back at all! read more

My brother lives in Tyler and found this place several years ago. He told me how great the food was at this restaurant. We decided to drive to Longview on this visit. We arrived approx 2pm. Decor was great but that's where it stops. Brother ordered oyster dinner and I had oyster boat. Waitress asked if I wanted regular hushpuppies or jalepeno. Brother ordered regular hushpuppies and I ordered jalepeno. This should have been first clue. Hushpuppies look like small cheese sticks and not what I expect for hushpuppies. I found no jalepeno in my sticks. Tried oyster which I found overcooked and chewy. Size was very small, some no bigger that tip of wine cork. Overall very disappointing. At least trip wasn't total waste since we also visited the Butcher Shop in Longview and cakes were awesome. Guess we should have read reviews before trying Fisherman Market. Our experience was same as the most recent reviews. If we knew then what we know now would have tried burger at The Butcher Shop. read more

The reviews of this place that we have seen do it justice.....but neither of us are regulars here either. So many reviews are negative, so we had to try it. Our visit here before the new year was a good visit and we enjoyed it. JG score of 5/10 for this visit from us (+1.5 for food, +1 for atmosphere, 0 for price, +1 for Diet Dr Pepper, +0.5 for service that day and +1 for we would return) We tried 6 things this visit: Char-Broiled Oysters, Oysters Pontchartrain, Fried Jalapenos Stuffed with Crab Meat, Fried Shrimp En Brochette, Spicy Grilled Shrimp and Grilled Shrimp En Brochette. Our favorite were the Char-Broiled Oysters.....these were good especially with the garnish but not as good as when Johnny Caces cooked them; still, we enjoyed soaking up the leftover juice with the great toasted bread. Our least favorite would have been the Fried Shrimp En Brochette and the Fried Jalapenos Stuffed with Crab Meat. Both of these were actually not bad at all, it's just that the frying overwhelmed any taste that the Shrimp and Bacon or the Jalapenos and Crab Meat had so these tastes had a hard time coming through also. The Spicy Grilled Shrimp was just okay for us with most of the Spicy seeming to come off when we peeled them; the Grilled Shrimp En Brochette was better but not as good as the same item we have had at other places. Last was the Oysters Pontchartrain. A good item but a little too much cheese but that did not stop us from liking it. This item is part oyster, part shrimp and the cheese all on a half shell. The atmosphere in here fits. We like the feel of the place. The price will probably be over $15 for a decent meal. They do have Diet Dr Pepper. The service our visit was very friendly. We had our tea refilled maybe a dozen times. They even served us Fried Shrimp En Brochette instead of Grilled Shrimp en Brochette and just gave us free the Fried while they prepared the Grilled again...a nice touch. We would go back sometime. read more

Use to be a great place but boy have they got lazy!!! Frozen pre battered shrimp and not even the good kind. The thin cheap stuff on the bottom of the case at Walmart. That anyone can buy. And don't get the shrimp pasta. Dry and rubber shrimp. Disappointing. read more

Fisherman's never disappoints. If I want Cajun food, chances are, I'm going here. The crawfish etoufee here is one of my favorite dishes in the world, and it's MASSIVE. If you're not feeling up to fried fish (I usually don't), their chalkboard list of fresh fish is usually a good bet. I had some of the best salmon I've had in east Texas right here. The oysters on the half shell are some of the cheapest I've found in the area, and if you hit the right times of the year (the old rule is "any month with an 'r' in it"), they're massive, too! There's enough non-seafood options on the menu like the chicken spaghetti that my fish-hating mom stays happy, too. It's a little old-school. You order at the counter, and the salad that comes with your meal is mostly iceberg, but everything else is superb. Service is quick and friendly. It's a little hidden behind the corner of the shopping center, so look for a random cove with a lot of cars in it and you'll find Fisherman's. read more

Damn good seafood I wish I could give you 10 stars. Keep up the good work and I will see you next time

Drive thru food at a sit down restaurant. If it can be fried they serve it. Weird hush puppies long and thin. Had stuffed shrimp. Zero doubt it came out of a frozen box from some processing factory. Bland and rubbery. Got a fried clam dinner to share it too was straight from a portion control bag frozen promptly after processing. Dinners are 10-16 dollars Long John Silver is half the price. read more
