I have always enjoyed going to the Fresh Fish House, since everything is always fresh in there (like the name says), and they have quite a variety of seafood. If you want, they can also fry the fish however you like, and it always comes out delicious. I have never had a complaint about this establishment. Fair warning to all who wish to visit: Parking is rather limited, and some weekends, they can be rather crowded. So, put on your walking shoes if you plan to visit on a weekend, especially toward the beginning of the month, since you may have to walk a block or two from your vehicle to them. Also, if you walk-in and order your fish dinner, there is very little space to wait for them to prepare it. There have been times when my mother and I stood for nearly an hour inside here because there was little space and hardly any seating. The quickest way to avoid all this is to call in your order, which is what we did Friday (for once). read more

I have been going to Fresh Fish, west 8 mile/Wyoming location for years. I would normally highly recommend. Not anymore! They continue to increase prices. Do you know how much fish I could have bought for $30. Then for my fries to be refried & hard was a great disappointment. I let the man (I'm sure he was owner) know I would not be returning at these prices. If we continue to pay them will continue to increase. For these prices the food should be A1. I'm DONE with Fresh Fish. read more

Fresh Fish House - The food is good fresh to order - Seafood Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I drove 10 miles and order a quart of Gumbo and drove back home. Upon opening it the gumbo was thick and had a strong odor of mussels. It was over cooked Fresh Fish House gumbo substance is thin. There was no rice or seafood except for a few mussels. It looked like oatmeal. I called Fresh Fish House Eight-mile location. The guy who served me answered the phone. He told me to bring it back. I drove back to the store and the cashier with the short hair sometimes blue other times pink took the gumbo looked in the container and said loud in front of the customers," Did you put water in this?" I said, "No!" Then she said," are you sure?" her question surprised me because the gumbo was thick as oatmeal. She has worked there for a good while and knows how the gumbo supposed to look. She was putting on a show in front of the customers. Then she takes the gumbo to the man who served me the gumbo and said, "Look at this water." He didn't lift up his head. He knew the gumbo wasn't right when he put it in the container. The cashier tells me, "I'll give you another order" and walk to the back. She returned without the gumbo because the entire batch was over cooked. I ask her to return the gumbo. I didn't like how she tried to make me look like a gumbo thief who ate the gumbo filled the container with water and returned it and the gumbo was my proof it was over cooked. She refused to return the gumbo and walked to the cash register and returned my money. This is the type of employee that gets the company food inspected and shut down for an untrue laugh. read more

This was my first time going to this location of Fresh Fish, and it will be my last. The food was absolutely horrible. I paid $19.07 for some food that was not edible. I ordered an ocean perch dinner. The food was not hot. The steak fries were too hard to eat. The fish pieces were so small that I could fit 3 pieces on a single slice of bread. The fish was fried with and soaked in some old grease. You cold see the old grease on the fish. The smell of fish was very loud and made me want to upchuck. The staff was nice, but that was it. I don't know who their cook is, but they need to get another one. When I gave up trying to find anything salvageable in the meal, I gave it to my dog, and she looked at me as if I had lost my mind. Even she didn't want it. I never even tried the coleslaw because the rest of the meal was so horrible. Never again, never again. read more

The Gumbolaya is a must!!! Great flavor with just enough spice. Also ordered the cod dinner is a side of clams. Both great!! read more

If you like your chicken fried with feathers, then you'll love the 10 for 10. I have no problem with the shrimp & gumbo was good.

I'm totally disappointed. I used to argue with people who left bad reviews because I never had a bad experience. someone I know got molded bread and horrible service from the location on Greenfield, I said maybe it's just that location. I continued to patronize the 8 mile and Wyoming location. After today I AM DONE! Molded bread is bad as it is, but to serve bread with mouse/rat droppings in it.... SHUT IT DOWN!!! You cant Not see that. read more

I ordered off Uber eats. Fish wasn't fresh. It was over done and rubbery. Also the chicken had feathers. I can't be upset because I should have known better. I should have asked myself how clean can a fish market be? read more

I absolutely love the catfish nuggets and fries! I've had the catfish dinner as well, you get nice size portions so it's worth your money.

"Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name" cool folks in there and the fish is always on point.

First purchase: 6 whole red snappers at $8.99/lb = ~$74. Problems: 1- I asked for fish to be cleaned: NOT done-- it took me about an hour and many finger pokes to clean at home bc they left lots of the scales and all of the fins (extremely hard to remove w/o very sharp knife or meat scissors). 2-The fish is OLD and therefore, decomposing: I fried the whole fish and when i took the first piece off the bone it released a very unpleasant ammonia smell. Unfortunately, it tasted like it, too. INEDIBLE. LOST A POTENTIAL LOYAL CUSTOMER IN ME read more

The Catfish is very good. However, the pick up is not organize. Please, establish a line strictly for call in orders to be picked up.

Not a bad place to get fresh fish. Customer service was great, selection of fish was on point... pretty much in and out. Great deals too. Only problem I think that might need attention is the parking lot. Kind of crowded and tight. However, you could park on the street too. Overall, clean....good customer service experience. read more

I ordered fried prawns $19.99 per pound. They were saturated in dirty grease & tough/screwy. I could have had dinner at a nice restaurant for that price. read more

I purchased fish to bring home and fry myself from the Greenfield location. They should change the name to Ye Old Fish House. The fish was NOT fresh!!! Shame on you fish house. I can't bring myself to use the word fresh when speaking of you. read more

The food is good but it's chaotic picking up the food. It's never ready on time. Their are two lines. One line you should from and the other line should be for pick-up. read more

I brought fish from there today this morning red snapper and whiting, I had to wait about 30 minutes for my fish and then on top of that they didn't even season the fish was so dry I'll never go back there again it was horrible, The absolute worst read more

Food smelled really good... All the extra attitude stinks!... Friend referred me with telephone # only... Call restaurant for address and was given the Detroit 8 mile address... When I got there of course there was no order... So I found another location closer to home located in Southfield and called in my order...I arrived only to find out that's where my original order was placed... They were mad about 2 orders but I pointed out they gave me address... My order was sitting on the counter and I was in front of the line, but instead of finishing with me she starts randomly calling other names of completed orders. After my complainting she finally decided to wait on me...#petty...Price was $8.99/lb when we called in, but she charged me $48.67 for 3 pounds of catfish including$7.50 total cooking fee instead of the expected $32 ... My 80yr old mom wanted fish... that's only reason why I stayed...I had already wasted an hour at wrong location... Otherwise I would have gone elsewhere... #pettyonsteroids read more

During the week parking is pretty good. Call your order in and they will have it ready to go. They have alot of fresh choices. My favorites are the cod, pickerel and catfish dinners (plus hot sauce), shrimp I only go once because I couldn't stop eating and had none to share back at work. Nice TV in the place, cool to look at the fish while you wait. I have never been disappointed, be careful if you call it in, they have several locations and you want to make sure you call the right one. OH - and they are online at http://freshfishhouse.com/index.php read more

We've been Fresh Fish House at long month ago. She wanting orange roughy for dinner.

Best Fried Fish and Shrimp in the city hands down! I'm not a fan of their fried wings, but I'm not judging them on that it's a fish joint. My family and I are here every Friday or Saturday. The fish is always fresh and they have a nice selection, but the later you come he less fish you have to choose from. Not all of their locations have whole fish to choose from, however the 8 mile and highland park location does. The fish eyes are clear and plump, and it never has a "funky" fish smell. This place doesn't put that lemon pepper seasoning dusting that other places like captain jays does and I'm HAPPY about that. This is just an old school you buy, we fry type place! read more

If you're looking for that good ol' crispy, salty, greasy Southern Fried Catfish, this is the place right here. Bar none the best fried catfish in Detroit!!! The place is also very clean. Hardly a dirty spot was to be found on the floor or the glass where the fish sits. I actually witnessed the owners checking the fish to make sure they were still fresh with gloves on. The employees were also very cordial. They didn't come across as if they had an attitude or didn't want to be there. Lastly, it's not like a lot places in the city where you're speaking to people through plexiglass. The transactions are face-to-face, hand-to-hand and over the counter. It's a little pricey (for a few fillets, you're going to be spending at least $10-15), but it's very much worth it. Needless to say, I'm pretty sure I just found a new favorite carry-out restaurant. read more

After having some lackluster McDonalds nuggets for lunch, I found myself craving some fried shrimp while watching my team alma mater get spanked this afternoon. I usually go to O'Quinns on Livernois, but decided to try a new spot. I liked what I read from the two previous reviews so I headed to Fresh Fish House and ordered 1lb of shrimp and a side of okra. Both were delicious and served with plenty of Frank's Hot Sauce. They have a very large selection of fish that looked quite fresh. I went there near closing time and there were 5 or 6 people waiting for food - good thing I called in my order. Both the parking lot and store were clean and well lit. read more

The place, clean and workers are friendly. I had the jumbo shrimp, and the catfish. Both were delicious and the prices are fair. I will patronize again. read more

The place is clean inside. I like that they have oysters and are cooked well. What wasnt good were the prawns. I called to order them and the phone taker didnt even know what they were! I spelled them and told her to check w/ someone that they had them which i already knew they did. She took the order of prawns, shrimp and catfish. Prawns were tough and no flavor. Order this with caution! Shrimp and catfish were good.The attitudes of these people SUCK!!! The staff has no good customer service qualities. They act like they dont want to be there; so dont ask any questions! read more

Hubs and I have been carrying out from here for several months. We only ever get the catfish or 4 wings. We frequent almost weekly. Very minimal errors in ordering or the food. The food is always super fresh and hot! Will always go back!! read more

Had to come from Westland to get some good fresh fish cause in between there are no good fish places. Good fast service and staff is good.

The fish is here so delicious! I always get the orange roughy dinner or sandwich. The portion is worth the $8 for the sandwich and the $13 for the dinner. The customer service is pretty good too. Actually this is my Favorite fish spot, on the west side of the "D". read more

I love the freshness of the fish. Well seasoned food. The oysters are prepared well also. Parking is always bad here because of the amount of people that are usually there. Service can go from good to average based on which set of people are working there and how many customers are present. Try the fried okra. Overall a good experience. read more

I have been coming To FFH for a while now, and i must say CATFISH NUGGETS are great.!!!.

maybe they're under new management or something, I don't know, but the quality of their food has changed so drastically. I bought whole wings this summer that were over breaded and so hard we couldn't eat them! fast forward til today, ordered red snapper and white bass, that dis was SO OVERCOOKED it was inedible!! Over battered, over cooked, they used old grease our fish was SO dark brown and greasy under all that breading!! nothing they sale is inexpensive, so the least they can do is prepare it decently THEY ONLY CHARGE YOU to prepare your fish. so I paid $30 for 2 pieces of fish that I couldn't even eat. DO BETTER for other patrons, we're done for good!! read more

I love this place! However, sometimes they close 15-30 minutes before stated times. This can be V E R Y A G G R I V A T I N G !... which makes me visit Detroit Fish and Shrimp House on James Cousins!!! Stay True to your business hour postings Fresh Fish House! I was there 15 mins before closing! Remember this is a Franchise and different stores have different Managers! I called another location and was informed that they don't lock their doors until stated time! Of course we called this location and they didn't answer the phone! I'll update after speaking with a Manager at this location. Employees stated that it was to late because "they were cleaning up" Really.... read more
