Great selection, pricey but the service is top notch. I came for croaker but ended up with some shrimp and red snapper. I miss the grocery selection that used to be here. Looks like they have reduced that business as the inventory was low and the product selection limited. read more

I stopped by here on a recent Sunday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of fish available behind the counter. Prices are very fair too (I wish they would list this on their website because I think it would bring in more customers). Fish was fresh and I really enjoyed the cuts I ordered. They will cut steaks from the whole fish behind the counter. The rest of the store shelves are really sparse. There are some Asian products and lots of spices, but there is so much opportunity to make this place a really solid Asian fish market (fresh vegetables would be a game changer). There's lots of parking and the staff is really nice. I'll be back here for sure to try more. read more

Over-charged me. Gave me a pound of catfish and charged me for over 3 lbs. I knew something was fishy, so I went back into the store to discuss the problem, but he convinced me I was mistaken. When I got home, I saw that I was correct. NOT TO BE TRUSTED read more

Great place for fresh fish. Friendly but slow paste service. Make sure you know how to order or it could feel a little off putting when you received your order. Catfish is sold by the whole. read more

The establishment should be a lot cleaner than it is. Also, they should wash their hands before putting on the gloves to weigh fish but instead they reuse the same dirty gloves to open the shelving doors for the fish over and over again instead of using disposable gloves when serving customers. I will not buy there again. read more

I have been going to this fish market for years. I love that they sell live blue crabs. My fish is always fresh but there is one thing I notice and was unaware that this establishment charges you for bags in the amount of 0.45 cents. Bags are free in NC so I'm not sure why this charge was added. read more

Great Customer Service! My go to for fresh Seafood! Would recommend this place for people that love fresh Red snapper.

Didn't expect it to be owned by an Asian. Super cool owner and the crab are good. I still prefer G-mart but gotta support our locally owned mom and pop shops! read more

I been coming here regular getting my fish for the last 8 months, regularly. Today I went in to fishy Fish to get my regular salmon steak and a guy that was in there was rude. It seems like they were trying to rip us off. We had three of them and it came out to $25 and we had always paid around $13 to $18 for the same thing, so we refuse to buy them. The guy got upset told us to not to come back. Nobody got nasty with the guy, but he got nasty with us. I will not be returning back here and if you are in the area find a different fish market cuz this place is a complete rip-off read more

I went to fishy fish. on S. Blvd. My fish purchase was total eight dollars when they rang me up it was $11. They added a tip onto my bill and added a charge for a bag. I swiped my card and in no way added a tip onto my bill. When I asked for my money back, they argued with me and pretended they didn't speak English. read more

I like this market fish are always fresh. I definitely recommend this place. They are always helpful and fast.

This has been my go to fish market for a minute. I went in a purchased over $100 worth of fish. I wanted them to put them in separate bags...I think I had about 8 fish. Red snapper, trout, and black bass. The owner refused to bag them separately....said "we don't make money if we give you bags". My response was, the bags cost you less than a penny...and I'm spending $100 dollars". I forgot the fact that I allowed you to keep the fish heads for you to turn around and sell them again...because you know, I already paid for them. Had I not really wanted fish for dinner, I would have left them in the store....not to mention that they were half cleaned....still had remnants of guts on several of them. I will be finding a new fish market effective immediately. read more

Hello Friends, I stopped in here yesterday (09/04) after watching my line up (anything on Food Network, or Cooking Channel) anyway they were making a nice stir fry. I admit. i have been on Cedar Plank grilling (thanks to Sam the Cooking Guy) kick for weeks but now... Now I think i'll take my talent to Stir Fry cooking. I came in looking for some fish sause, and whole Red Snapper and THAT'S all! Yelp (welp) after I walked in while the owner held the door open for me, I was met with the pungent smell of fish (?????) Now I know where they came up with the name. Pretty nice place (this isn't my 1st checkin even though the app said it was) that has about 3 or 4 rows of seasonings, tea's, canned goods, noodles, etc.. They have a lot of different fish. Clams, Mussels, Oysters etc.. (I have been on my clams, mssls, oys. kick pretty heavy as well). They have a Numbered sign that goes from 1- taking the scales off all the way up to 10 (i believe) that takes the head off, fins, etc. oh yeah, I did pick up my fish sause, seasame oil, a jar of sliced ginger, and MY whole RED SNAPPER.. less than 17.00. Its just waiting for me to get home and bring my talents with me!! Cheer's to the gift of Giving and the Blessing of recieving, To eat like Men and to Drink like Fish!! read more

My husband pulled up in front of the place to drop me off as I am disabled and there were no handicap spots anywhere. None anywhere empty or full. As I tried to approach the entrance I was reproached by a bearded young man who asked me how dare I block the intersection. I thanked him for his compassion. Please note there was no intersection but rather a dirt road. I just want to remind the young man that about karma. read more

Fairly new fish market in the Starmount area and unlike some others, this place is super clean and the seafood is super fresh. They also offer a nice size grocery area with a little bit of everything and some very interesting spices and other products that you may not find elsewhere. Check it out if you're in the area. read more

This fish market is straight outta some zombie apocalypse movie. We were greeted by blank, vacant stares by 3 employees instead of an actual hello. There were no lights on in the entire store except behind the glass and it was honestly 50 degrees in there. I didn't even notice the lights weren't on until I was squinting to read the spices, it was super weird. The whole place reeked of low tide and I've been in enough fish markets to know that's not what they're supposed to smell like. Oh and don't even get me started on how every single fish behind the counter had cloudy eyes to the point of being almost opaque. read more

I have been going here for years but the last 2 times I went have changed my mind about ever going here again. I walk in order fresh fish and ask for them to be filleted. The guy behind the counter tells me I should pick from the already cut up pieces of fish. It looks very choppy. I tell him no thank you and he gives me a dirty look. Into minutes my fish is ready. My one catfish I picked is 15.78. Ok!!!! Two pieces of fish for almost 16 bucks. And it looks choppy Why???? The two stars are for the previous years I enjoyed this market. read more

Went there to get calms to fish with, they were nice size. Bring cash if you will spend under $10.00, they only process plastic if over $10.

Thanks to my dad... this will be my go to spot for all my seafood needs! Now, I've driven past this place dozens of times and never gave it a second look... my dad's in town visiting for a week during the holidays and he finds this place and I'm hooked. The exterior aside, this place offers tons of really fresh seafood and it's really good quality. So far, I've had their shrimp, crab legs (which they will cook and season for you!!!) and fresh salmon. I would recommend them all. There is also a small grocery attached with different spices, flour and seafood breader so you can pick up all you need in one trip. The best part is the great staff. The owners and staff are always smiling and have some great suggestions to offer. This was an excellent find (thanks dad!) so if you are in the area you should definitely check them out! read more

This place is a gem and I've been coming here for years. I don't understand patrons that shop at ridiculously overpriced establishments (eg. Clean Catch). Tom procures the best head on shrimp PERIOD! So sweet and consistently so since I've been coming here. I always buy 2-3 lbs every time. To the people complaining about the fish smell, this is a seafood market! It should smell like fish, especially since there are whole fish everywhere. That's the dumbest complaint I have ever heard. If you're just selling already cut fillets then maybe your shop won't smell like fish. So just stop. Shop here if you want fresh, fairly priced seafood. Simple as that! read more

Had dinner here last night food and prices were excellent However our server Emily E was not good The place was very crowded it was part of a pub crawl And that was OK and Emily had several tables but we thought she could had a better attitude Also she took the check off the table before we left the table My understanding is that you always wait for the guest to leave before doing that I think management should speak to her I will go back because this is a Great restaurant and this is the first time our service was good read more

Nasty smelly store manger has a nasty attitude they don't want to return your money even with a receipt seafood is not covered good with ice looks old and smells 8/15/2021 read more

I like this fish market because it is the only place in Charlotte to get decent Blue Crabs. We usually buy blue crabs about 4-5 times during the summer. They are decent sized and always fresh and alive by the time I get them home which is an hour from the store. Others have commented on the customer service and I agree it is lacking. The owner and employees are a bit rude, whether on the phone or in person, same result. They need to understand better that the customer is the reason for them being open. I like the store generally and look forward to crab season! read more

This place smells horrible. I would never buy fish from a place that smells bad before you even open the door.

I was looking for a fish market that I could get fresh salmon. I wanted to make salmon ceviche and wasn't willing to buy salmon on a grocery store, since the dish is with raw fish I tough grocery store fish could be dangerous. I had no idea this place existed, but when I was looking on Yelp for fish markets this one popped up and I got interested right away because of the good reviews. If you like seafood this is the place for you! They have so any fish and seafood options I was mesmerized. They also have a small section that looks like a grocery store focused on ingredients for fish and seafood. I almost got some jumbo shrimps too, but I would had to freeze them and it would defeat the purpose of buying fresh seafood. On the wall there are pictures of different fish cuts you can choose from, you can either buy it whole or ask them to clean and cut as you wish. Which was very convenient for me. The only down side is that they do not offer ice in the bag for you to take the fish with, so if it is a hot day and you live kind of far from them, you definitely you will need to bring something to keep the fish cooled. Pricewise is a little bit more than the supermarket but it is worth it because it is fresh. The staff is nice and very helpful. I am going back for those pretty shrimps! read more

I usually have a decent experience when I go into this seafood market. This actually was my go to spot when I want fresh fish. However the last to visits have changed my perception of this place and I starting to feel uneasy and unappreciated as a customer. Today I went in as usual the gentleman behind the seafood counter greeted me and assisted me with my order immediately. I made my fish selection and waited for it to be cleaned. Once he was done he passed me the bag, thanked me and I headed to the checkout counter to pay. The owner was behind the counter watching tv and I guess Interrupted his show, he didn't greet me at all just gave the total was scaffolding while I dug in my purse for exact change. I asked for another bag because the one the I had was dripping with fish water. He threw it on the counter and went back watching his show. Rude! Needless to say I would not spend another one of my hard earned dollars there. The time before this the same man asked me was I using ebt (welfare) It made me pause but I didn't want to overthink it and told him no and moved past it. This time I left disgusted, knowing that I have encouraged friends and family to patronize this business. Now my thoughts have changed I won't recommend this business. Had it been an employee I could have a better understanding but it's clear I am not respected or appreciated as a customer. read more

Is not as pretty as Clean Catch but don't let the look deceive you. This is a great fish market that will prep your seafood in a number of different ways for you. Pricing is extremely reasonable & a great variety in addition it has fantastic products that I haven't found anywhere to prepare the fish. read more

Fishy fish is right! Nasty looking place. Fresh fish should not have a fishy smell it should have a fresh smell of the ocean. This place looks like some ratchet ass fish market with low quality products. I walked in and I took a look around and then I walked right out and stayed outside my car for a little while just to get the smell off of me!! When there's a sign on the front of the building that says EBT welcome you should swim your ass right out of there!! Bye, Felicia! read more

I went into this market at the suggestion from a friend and Bought 2 lbs of shrimp. When I got home and opened the bag, there was a stench. Thought maybe it was just my imagination, and that if the scent got worse while cooking, I'd know they shrimp were bad, so I cooked shrimp anyway. While cooking, the stench got waaaaaaay worse. I Ended up disposing of the entire bag, almost $30 down the drain! I wanted to give 0 stars, but at least 1 star is required. I will never Ever return to this market, ever. I should have known not to buy anything from here as soon as I stepped inside. Beware! read more

I have heard so many people say that this fish market smelled of fish as you pulled up. I beg to differ. I walked in the front door and fishy fish did not smell fishy at all until I got right up to the fish counter of course. The selection was great. I ordered a few pounds of perch filets and jumbo shrimp. I seasoned with a dash of salt and deep fried them using House Autry Seafood Breader. The fish smelled and tasted very fresh. The shrimp was great also. The store is very clean and the staff is very nice. the prices are in line with market value for this area. Actually the perch was a dollar cheaper than fresh catch and southside seafood market. I will be back to try the fresh Croaker and whiting. I am giving a 4 start because I haven't had a second trip or a taste of the different varieties to form and first hand opinion. I will be back soon though. read more

I really like this place. It can get busy after people get off work, but the butchers do a good job and the fish is brought in fresh weekly. Best to buy then, of course. All the fish is domestically fished or farmed. The grocery has Asian and Latin foods and spices. There is an alcohol selection and they proudly take EBT. read more

My favorite fish market hands down!! And the fact the they carry blue crabs makes it that much better!!

A friend of ours wanted to cook up a special mussels dinner for a group of us, and after calling around all over the city looking for 4 lbs. of fresh mussels, he finally found Fishy Fish, who was more than accommodating. Not only did they supply him with fresh mussels at a reasonable price, when he got him home and cleaned them all, he was pleasantly surprised to find only 2 were bad. Needless to say, the spaghetti & mussels dinner was heavenly! read more

The fish was fresh! It's not often you find a place where the eyes on the fish are so clear it looks like they just came in. The prices were good too, even if you have them prep the fish for you. Also, the only place I have been able to find fresh conch and tiger prawns. read more
