Our experience at Little Fish was wonderful! Small, intimate space (6 tables) with amazing, warm service. Loved how they announced the specials to the whole seating -- such a fun, communal touch. Everything was fresh and thoughtfully curated. The scallop toast was worth the hype and the red crab was delicious (with the cutest spoo!) So glad we finally went -- highly recommend this BYOB! read more

This place was amazing start to finish, and I wish i could have their scallop toast every single day of my life. The place is tiny. very tiny, and i don't believe you'd be able to get in without a reservation, but it's intimate in a good way. The timing of the food is perfect, and while I do wish the portions were slightly bigger, I'm so lucky I was able to give this place a try while visiting Philly. It's BYOB which is cool, and they don't charge a corkage fee and provide ice buckets for your wine. Would def come back and see what's new on the menu the next time I come. read more

Little Fish - scallop toast - Seafood Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I went in with super high expectations and wanted to love this meal but it didn't quite hit the spot. Unfortunately the bread delivery didn't arrive that day and we missed out on the bread service. The first two dishes (hiramasa tartare and scallop toast) were by far the best and had us excited for the whole meal. There's a reason the scallop toast is hyped up, it's so good!! From there everything else was sort of average. The wonton soup dumplings were good but the green tea broth didn't pair well in my opinion. The fish of the day was halibut. I enjoyed the broth it was served in but wish it was more of a creamy base rather than standard broth. The fish didn't bind well to the broth and made it quite bland. We supplemented the meal with 3x oysters each which were tasty but nothing outstanding. They took $10 off the bill for the missing bread service which was nice but at that point doesn't make much of a difference on the bill. We left still a bit hungry unfortunately. There were other options to add on but for $115 each I was hoping that I would get a filling meal. read more

Came on a Thursday for a mini bday dinner and we got the Prix-fixe menu. So worth it. Very small restaurant (maybe 20 seats max) so make a res beforehand. The courses were well-timed out and we didnt feel rushed even after the final course was served. Prix-fixe items listed below: 1. Scallop toast - wow. Scallops were like butter and the toast was seeded with a kick from some chili oil 2. Snapper and octopus ceviche - after finishing the solid components we drank this up like soup 3. Grilled prawn - look at the way the light hits it 4. Big eye tuna crudo - sleeper hit. The shiso vinaigrette is what dreams are made of 5. Blackened grouper - amazing cook on this 6. Grilled branzino - tasted Asian in a way 7. Red plum cake with vanilla bean ice cream and candied ginger - cute and tiny *also pictured: starter bread with furikake butter read more

Absolutely incredible meal in an adorable spot! We had the tasting menu on a weekday for $90/pp, and it was one of the best meals I've had in Philly. Each bite was unique, fresh, and delicious, and the portions were large enough to be satisfying without getting bored along the way. It was also the perfect amount of food - we were stuffed by the end but not to an uncomfortable level. My personal favorites were the scallop toast and the black cod. Both were incredibly buttery and fresh but not overwhelmingly rich. Additionally, the dessert - a buckwheat cake with rhubarb sauce and sakura whipped cream - was insanely good. I'm not usually a cake person, especially not grain-y cakes like buckwheat, but I could've eaten an entire cake worth of that dessert. read more

I'm kinda sad to give Little Fish 4 stars! I was extremely excited to try Little Fish for the first time recently after having seen all the recent positive press. I think in my case, my expectations were just too high, if they were normal I probably would have been more impressed. But alas here we are. I think the portions are maybe a little light, BUT for the price you pay for price fixe, I did leave satisfied and think overall it was an appropriate amount of food. The menu is great and creative which is was exciting, but some of the dishes just didn't really wow me as I had expected. Service is phenomenal and the intimate cozy atmosphere is great for a date night. Of course being BYO is also amazing. So while I only gave 4 stars, I would highly recommend checking out Little Fish! read more

Little Fish. Little overrated TBH. Little portions. Little flavor. But there was an overuse of umami flavors and it seemed to overpower a lot of the dishes. I'd recommend ordering a la carte rather than the prix fixe menu, if you do try this place. For the price I'd pay here, I'd rather go to Vernick Fish. read more

On the corner of 6th and Fitzwater is a little gem of Philly cuisine. The cozy atmosphere with that perfect neighborhood vibe brings together the warmth of the people, and excellence of the food! Hands down my favorite restaurant in Philly. The combination of flavors that are created, layers of complexity with each dish that really highlight the seafood. The scallop toast is perfect- the crunchiness of the toast with the meatiness and slightly salty scallop, which is beautifully enhanced by the chili oil. Erin and the servers are always so hospitable, and provide outstanding service without feeling stuffy/pretentious. This restaurant absolutely deserves recognition by the Michelin guide, and the fact it wasn't recognized with their inaugural guide is a crime. read more

I had dinner at Little Fish last night and I cannot wait to go back under better circumstances. The thing is, the night into the morning of my reservation, I had been up all night with a sick puppy. Now, here's the thing; anywhere else? I would cancel my reservation or reschedule, whatever. But, the thing is, it's expensive to cancel at the last minute - And THIS IS WHY IT'S A GOOD THING - the fish is top notch and beautifully executed. It's not fish you pull out of a long rest in the freezer. And second, it's not super easy to get a table here but that might just be saving me from myself. But! Oh! Yes! Because I was so tired (sick puppy) I really didn't have everything on the menu but everything I had was amazing. read more

This was a nice birthday dinner but price fix is wildly expensive with the additional little add ons. Definitely needed an (extra) bread and butter dish as yes we were still kind of hungry. There was one fish dishes my partner does not like so he was disappointed he couldn't sub that one out. Unfortunately that night there must have been friends of chef coming in as they were getting one after the other dishes coming out not on the menu price fix or ala carte that I wish I could have tasted too. And heir dishes started coming out while we were waiting longer read more

Very good experience. This of why anything 4 stars and above should automatically be worth a try. I can understand why some give it 5 stars but for me it's a 4. Open kitchen, intimate, lovely service. The highs: scallop taste read more

Finally checked out Little Fish after living in Philly all these years. I've heard great things, but after eating here last Wednesday for the first time, Little Fish has solidified its high-ranking on my list of best restaurants in Philly. Going in, you already know to expect lots of fish for dinner, and it was exactly that. My husband and I decided on the $90 pre-fixe menu, but I have to say the specials (available to order a la carte) sounded enticing. Too bad the restaurant does not allow substitutions on the pre-fixe menu. Everything from the pre-fixe menu was delicious: 1. Big eye tuna crudo - two BIIIIG bites of thickly cut fresh tuna, dressed with shiso vinaigrette, red onion, furikake, it was a delicious palette cleanser, and great way to kick off a 6-course dinner. This place knows how to deliver on a crudo. WOW. 2. Scallop Toast - sliced raw scallops dressed in chili oil, served on top of toast, sprinkled with chives. Nice creamy texture from the scallops, and was enjoyable (scallops are my fave), however, the chili oil was a bit overpowering and prevented me from fully savoring the scallopiness of the scallops. (For us, these first 2 courses came out pretty quickly, almost simultaneously, and got us worried that this was going to be a quick 6-course dinner, but thankfully, that was not the case.) 3. Shrimp and Scallop - good segway into the heavier courses. Shrimp and scallop were perfectly cooked. Served on top of fragrant coconut rice. So good. 4. Grilled Black Cod - beautifully smoked and super tender. You don't even need to dip the cod in the miso-corn soubise. It was already great on its own. My husband and I were super blown away by this course. 5. Fish of the Day - we had the option to choose between the Butter Roasted Halibut and Pan Seared Red Drum, and both my husband and I went with the halibut. The Chinese broccoli and snow pea leaves that came with this dish were the perfect doneness -- nice and crunchy. The portion of the halibut was fairly large as well. At this point, I am super impressed. I could care less about the dessert. After everything we ate tonight, I am officially a fan of Little Fish. Dessert turned out to be a no frills tres leche cake, topped with cream and diced mango compote on the side. Not great, but not bad either. I think back to a certain restaurant in Center City with a $90 tasting menu and compare it to the $90 pre-fixe menu I just ate at Little Fish. There is no comparison. Little Fish wins. You get higher quality (sea)food here, portions are good (you will walk out of here full), the execution is flawless, and they're BYOB. There is a reason why it's almost impossible to get a reservation here. After almost 30 years, this place is going strong! Definitely secure your reservations as early as you can! FYI, they're closed on Sundays. read more

The food was amazing and the service was even better. My 1st time trying their food and it was delicious. It even has this spicy kick that hits right at the end ! I never thought fried onions would be good on my fries so they introduced my taste buds to something now. I highly recommend and will stop by there every time I'm down that area. A+A+A+A+ read more

Little Fish has granted me new perspective that I've given out far too many five star ratings to other restaurants. Granted, this is my second time of visiting this restaurant my expectations have been exceeded for the second time in a row. Environment The environment is intimate(open kitchen), yet bright and the service is about two steps ahead of any presumptive request. Food Hands down this is my favorite seafood restaurant in the city. The menu varies but after two visits and trying half the menu on each occasion I can comfortably say chance will lead you to something delicious no matter what you select. It's easy to walk past the tiny restaurant but inside is a culinary adventure worth the cost. I'd recommend Little Fish for a date night or a quick sneak away to pamper yourself. Happy eats! read more

tiny little byob restaurant with an open kitchen concept! overall, a solid spot for seafood. my friend and i ordered the tasting menu which was 90$ pp on a weekday (Mon-Thu). our favorite bites were the steelhead trout crudo and the hiramasa tataki. i was very disappointed by the scallop toast, i was very excited to try it, but it was quite overrated and subpar. the raw scallops did not taste fresh, and the flavor was overpowered by saltiness from the chili oil and soy sauce. the grilled spanish mackerel, while tasty, still had some stray scales, which were unpleasant. for the price, i would assumed that the fish would be properly descaled. as a whole, i still enjoyed the tasting menu, and i was pleasantly surprised by the apple crumble dessert. the miso in the apple crumbled added a bit of umami which was unique and delicious. our waitress was friendly and attentive, the service was very prompt. not a cheap meal, but makes sense for seafood. their menu items do get updated regularly, but the scallop toast is their signature and always stays. i'd skip the scallop toast though, a la carte it goes for $24 for two relatively small pieces, and it was the most disappointing bite of the night. read more

I've been coming here since they launched at 6th and Catherine about thirty years ago, and amazingly, after all those years, the food is still quite good. Tonight kept the tradition going strong. Began with PEI Irish Point oysters. They were outstanding - the perfect blend of buttery and briny. This seriously made us reconsider our fall vacation plans to consider a return visit to PEI and New Brunswick. Still contemplating that... Next was the highlight - the octopus and snapper ceviche. It was a terrific blend of flavors and textures, with some creaminess from the avocado and coconut, and a little heat. The rice crackers worked well as serving dishes. This is now vying for the top dish of 2025 with the lamb sliders from Root Down in Denver. Third was the grouper with papaya salad with some skinny rice noodles. Another inventive blend of flavors and textures, and it turned a fish I'm usually not all that keen on into a flavorful, fun dish. Philadelphians (and visitors) are so fortunate to be able to go out and have a fantastic meal at a reasonable price because of BYOB standouts like this. Hears to another 30 years! read more

Booked a reservation here for my girlfriend's birthday and I enjoyed the food more than I thought I would. Parking wasn't too hard to find but we were there at 9PM. The place is small so definitely book a reservation. It's cozy inside with little tables so it would be hard to book for a large party, if that's even possible. It's also pretty cool to be able to see the chefs work in the open kitchen. The staff is extremely nice and the vibes are great. The scallop toast was the perfect appetizer and set the tone for the rest of the night. It had all of us in a chokehold to the point that we'd come back just for that. The fish dishes were also so damn good that I'm disappointed that I know I won't be able to make it myself. We ate every part that was edible and each of the sauces complemented the fish so well. It never tasted like they were the same, each had its own distinct taste which kept things refreshing. As for the spaghetti, you'd think it's just spaghetti but that pesto sauce is something else. It's as if you took pesto sauce and just elevated it. If you told me that's all I could eat for the next month, I wouldn't complain. The seared scallops were also really good and that rich vichyssoise was heartwarming. The dessert of the day... I don't even know what it was but it put a perfect end to the night. It was sweet but refreshing because of the added fruits. I could go on and on but you're better off coming here yourself. Props to the wait staff and especially the kitchen for easily making Little Fish one of my top favorites. 10/10 would come back again and recommend it to everyone. read more

Amazing food, friendly service, and great atmosphere. The scallop toast with chili oil is as advertised.

probably the best dining experience I've had in philly for a lonnnggg time genuinely delicious food with depth of flavor, great service, good vibes. if you want a 'nice' dinner that actually tastes fire, this is it. talked about how i was ready to return like 75% through the meal LOL scallop toast absolutely deserves the hype (tastes like 水煮鱼??? great) prix fixe menu is $90/pp for 7 courses mon-thurs, then $110/pp fri-sun. if you can swing mon-thurs, def recommend. ofc BYOB only criticism is the granola on their dessert (pineapple cake w/ a delicious corn cream) had a bit of this stale oil flavor u get from baking $115/pp after tax and tip read more

Philadelphia has an abundance of great restaurants and this long running establishment topped our list of food experiences.

Food: All the food was very delicious. We started with the bread and chimichurri, which wasn't anything too special. I would pass on these next time. The oysters were a refreshing delight. The scallop toast is definitely a must try here. The scallop melts in your mouth, but it was a bit over salted. Next we had the lobster ravioli which was the special. It was delicious. I'm not the biggest fan of ravioli normally, but this one was well executed. Lastly, we had the una Steaks, which were amazing. The horseradish, the sauce, the mushrooms and the leeks were a perfect combination of flavors that paired so well with the tuna. Chimichurri & Bread: 2/5 Oysters: 4/5 Scallop toast: 4.5/5 Lobster ravioli: 4/5 Tuna steak: 5/5 Service: Our waitresses were awesome. They were so funny and sensible. They definitely elevated the experience for us. Ambience: Always really cool to see the chefs cooking nearby. There's not too much seating but the small space definitely made the experience more intimate which was a plus. Overall: This is a must try for seafood in Philly. This place should have another .5 star. read more

exceptional food!!! it only makes sense to get the pre-fixe because everything on it is delicious. Just make sure you add the ocotupus because that is a must!! The pre-fix has a lot of raw options, and my hubs doesnt do raw but they were able to cook his portions, so it works everyone. Very good service, very cute ambience, and you can see the kitchen, youre basically in the kitchen so you know its clean! Run to this restaurant! read more

Overrated. Rude waitresses and I had multiple scales in both dishes. There's a lack of flavor and cohesion between the dishes.

My husband's co-workers who have since moved out of the city continue to rave and relish in their experiences at Little Fish. While the name was familiar to me from the "best of" lists, I had no idea that the restaurant had been a Philly staple for so long (30 years!) and has enjoyed success essentially the entire time. So, it was a no-brainer to try to score reservations for my husband's 30th birthday for our group of 6. I was so dedicated to celebrating here, I called multiple times way before reservations opened (apologies to all the employees who took my calls) but then ultimately was able to secure a table. Little Fish is on a quiet block in Bella Vista / Queen Village, and in typical South Philly fashion, it's located in a repurposed row home. That being said, the dining room is small (hence my obsession with res) but they do have some seats outside for overflow. Despite having reservations, we did have to wait about 20 minutes which was slightly inconvenient (especially for a celebration), but not the worst thing in the world. It was a nice night, so we just hung around outside and then were grateful when we did get seated. We were at a large table right at the front of the restaurant, and from our seats, we could see the folks at work in the kitchen while still enjoying some people watching on the outside. Of course, Little Fish is classically BYOB, so we brought a few bottles of wine, and our server kindly brought over a wine chiller to keep things cool during the meal. Since we did have a party of 6, the pre-fixe menu was our only option, which was more than fine with me (less decisions = better!). I appreciated being able to select our main dish though. This menu gave a little bit of everything, including bread to start, smaller plates that served as apps, somewhat larger plates that served as more main dishes, and dessert. Little Fish changes their menu regularly based on what's in season, but our waiter shared that the scallop toast is a fan favorite and therefore, a regular on the menu. And for good reason - this bite was certainly a highlight of the meal! The scallops were so buttery and smooth, and paired with a hint of spice and the crunch of the bread, I was thinking about it for days to come. My other favorite dish was the black cod - it was so meaty yet delicately prepared with great, but not overpowering, spice. Well done! I appreciated that dessert was shared (a seasonal strawberry dish) since I was comfortably pretty full by the last savory dish. The hospitality at Little Fish was great once we got seated - our server made sure our glasses were appropriately filled throughout the evening and made sure we all sang Happy Birthday to my husband. We took our time enjoying our meal, and I never felt rushed the whole time. Of course, the price is on the steeper side ($90 / person for pre-fixe menu), but the quality and quantity of food is well worth it, and the experience and ambience makes for a well-rounded experience that is worthy of the price. I'm so glad we were finally able to make it to Little Fish, and I can't wait to visit again. Would highly recommend Little Fish for anyone loving fresh, seasonal seafood dishes and who want to enjoy a delectable meal in a classic South Philly home. Thanks for a great night, Little Fish! read more

First time at this neighborhood BYOB and already great that they are a BYOB. The reason for the four stars was the service. While the food was delicious, there were times that we were completely ignored (which is hard to believe when there are only seven tables in the entire restaurant). Otherwise, the meal was a great experience. The oysters were small, chewy (not grainy), and savory. The scallop toast (a restaurant must-have) was a fantastic balance of flavors and textures - it was very well executed. The bigeye tuna was fine...nothing overly special here. The tagliatelle was lemony and creamy without being overly heavy, topped with three beautifully seared shrimp. YUM. If they have it, totally recommend. For entrees, we got the butter roasted halibut, a very sizable piece of fish with matched perfectly with the very creamy and rich sauce it was paired with. The snapper (which was supposed to be a golden tilefish but they swapped out the fish type) was light, fresh and great balance of flavors and textures. All in all, a solid Philly seafood experience. Would go back because it's a BYOB and in hopes of more attentive service. read more

I feel terrible that it has taken me this long to review my meal at Little Fish but life just got in the way a bit. I went at the end of the summer and was supremely impressed with every dish that we got. It is such a cute little restaurant and I love that it is BYOB. Perfect place for an intimate dinner or a nice date if you guys like seafood. The butter and dip for the bread service were both very good. We had the oysters and the seared scallops which were both very good. But the star was definitelly the scallop toast. I think this is a MUST order every time. I would willingly eat this everyday and never get sick of it. We both had the halibut that day which was in a beautiful carrot ginger sauce. Cooked perfectly. And for dessert we had the tres leches which was super moist and delicious. I can't wait to get back here for another meal. One of the best meals I have had this year. read more

It doesn't get much better if you like seafood. The bread and butter is excellent, also, although there wasn't enough butter to spread on all the slices of bread. The only negative is the HVAC. It's probably an old system, that doesn't do well on cold nights. Since it's BYOB, you save a lot of money on alcohol. The service was great. read more

My fiancé and I got a last minute reservation here on a Monday night for dinner which was great because I have been eyeing Little Fish for a while. It is a small restaurant with an open kitchen concept that is cool. They have arranged things such that there is no smoke or cooking smell (and we were seated very close to the kitchen) and I really appreciated that. Our table was not ready at our reservation time but they took our wine (they are BYOB!) to chill and ultimately gave us oysters on the house - that was very special and was a great start to our meal. We ordered the scallop toast, fluke, bigeye tuna (my favorite), black cod, branzino and halibut. They started us with the oysters and bread service with a delicious butter spread and chimichurri dip. Everything was delicious and our waiter was very knowledgeable with our questions. We had a 7:30pm seating and I know they had later seatings but somehow they ran out of coffee when it was time for our dessert so we skipped out on the interesting sounding pineapple carrot cake (we will have to try it next time). This meal exceeded both of our expectations and because it is BYOB it was very gentle on our wallet. Next time I'll order my own serving of tuna! read more

Little Fish is this very small (8 tables at best), restaurant tucked away in the Society Hill section of Philadelphia, that is making some of the best food in South Philly! Obviously, by its name this place is seafood-centric but everything they serve you is excellent. It is a BYOB restaurant that charges you $0.00 corkage; which is a very nice touch. Us four brought two bottles of really wonderful white wine; we corked both and then we hit the "ordering" trail: * Their Crudo was this magnificent Hamachi with fried capers, shaved radish, citrus vinaigrette, gochugaru, roasted seaweed - Wow was it good * Scallop Toast with shaved raw scallops dressed in chili oil, soy, chives on buttery sesame toast - the best seafood dish I've had in years * Seared King Salmon in a cognac thyme cream, trout roe, charred shishitos, sorrel - ridiculous.....really * Crab Satay Noodles with jumbo lump crab, peanut chili sauce, chili panko, scallion, soft egg - OK, on this dish it was "game-over" for me! I melted like an ice cube it was so delicious * Pan Seared Red Drum with butter beans, calabrian chili, anchovy, herbs, grilled calamari - Great * Grilled Branzino in a spicy jjampong broth, leeks, shiitake,, napa cabbage - the game ender and rightfully so it was so good You just cannot find food this well prepared to a made so elevated that it actually stuns you. Whenever I'm within 100 miles of the City of Philadelphia, I am positively making a reservation at Little Fish!!!!!!! read more

We had an amazing anniversary dinner at Little Fish. Every dish had such a unique touch and was bursting with flavor. The oysters were some of the best that I've ever had and I don't say that lightly. The butter roasted halibut was also a fan favorite. The whole experience was so immersive as you sat right next to an open kitchen with the waiter explaining each dish and decision you should make in depth. Yes everything is a bit pricey but it's absolutely worth it especially since you're saving $$$ on drinks. Can't wait to visit again with more seafood-loving friends! read more

I was so excited to try this place out, but was mildly disappointed. The restaurant itself is very cute! It's a very small and intimate space with an open kitchen so you can see the staff cooking your food. I really love the concept of Little Fish and the layout of the place, but the food was very subpar and was not worth the price, in my opinion. It was really cool to see the staff cooking, but I also witnessed one of the chefs drop a spoon, rinse it for a few seconds under running water, then stick it back in butter to put on the pan and cook. I was a little thrown off by this and questioned the sanity of the utensils we were using to eat with. The dishes are beautifully plated, but the portions are extremely small! The flavors also weren't as coherent as I would have liked and a lot of the dishes didn't really stand out. I came here with my mom and we opted to order a la carte instead of the fixed menu. The two dishes that we really enjoyed were the salmon and the branzino. The branzino was the only thing on the menu that came with a "salad" which included a few greens and radishes. I think it would have tasted more balanced with more vegetables. It felt like something was missing because most of the dishes were strictly fish. Something I also wasn't impressed by was the timing of the dishes. It took so long for each dish to come out and they only bring out one dish at a time and switch your plates and utensils in between every dish. I found this unnecessary and it elongated our mealtime to around two hours. Overall, it was a good experience, but I wouldn't recommend this place because Philly offers other amazing restaurants in the area! read more

If you're looking for a Little Fish in your diet during these quarantine times and, like me, don't trust yourself to procure sushi grade raw fish, don't love the sushi options still doing takeout, and are ofishally sick of your own cooking, give Little Fish a call and fish around your purse for your dusty credit card, check their Instagram for menu options, and order takeout from one of Philly's best restaurants to treat yourself for surviving this week/ day/ month! The hamachi bowl came with rice, cucumbers, and delicious marinated hamachi for $25 but they have other options like a Fluke Hoagie and a pork bento bowl. Don't forget to tip! Years ago I got a gift certificate for my mom here for Christmas and we came and had a perfect Sunday night dinner- my mom loved the atmosphere, our food was delicious and the service was lovely. At the end, my mom tipsily confessed to me that it was the first time she'd split a bottle of wine at dinner with just one other person (!!) Its a great memory and one that I cherish.

Best date night BYOB spot. Very quaint with only a few tables and open kitchen concept which is my fav! They serve mainly seafood and the menu is frequently changing. Each item on the menu has intricate ingredients and lots of flavor! We started with the oysters which were topped with dill, horseradish and honeycrisp apples and WOW I am still drooling over how good they were. Also as a starter we got the Hokkaido scallops which came with glass noodles and a peanut/Thai flavor which did not disappoint. For our main dishes we split the Branzino and Monkfish, both cooked to perfection. The dessert is a must! It was tres leche, and OH MY. Wish we got two of them! Can't wait to be back!! read more
