There are surprising number of chicken options here for a place called, "This Is Seafood", but not quite as many seafood options as I hoped. I was really looking forward to getting an order of fried scallops for lunch and I was a little disappointed they didn't have them on the menu. I decided to get the Combo #4: 3 whole wings, 6 fried shrimp, and my choice of 1 piece of fish and side dish. For my fish, I chose fried catfish and for my side I chose hush puppies. The combo also came with a fountain drink. I decided to mix their house-made lemonade and house-made iced tea and it made the perfect half-and-half. The wait wasn't too bad, as the food was being freshly made. It was piping hot and crispy when I received it. Those shrimp were huge! Some of the biggest fried shrimp I've ever had...And not those butterfly shrimp either. Whole shrimp, and the tail was removed so I didn't have to worry about accidentally crunching on one of the shells. The catfish was delectable! Perfectly seasoned, delightfully crispy, and absolutely melted in my mouth. So good. I'm coming back for the catfish if nothing else. The wings were perfectly fried, nice and crispy, but they were a bit too light on the seasoning for my taste. And the mumbo sauce tasted too similar to barbecue sauce. I did not like that, so I ended up saving the rest of the wings until I got home to put my own mumbo sauce on them. The hush puppies were also really good. I like that they were fried perfectly and weren't greasy... Even after reheating them. Overall, my lunch cost me about $25 and it was enough food for at least two meals. Can't beat that. I'll be back for that catfish.

Now the crabs tasted pretty good as well as the shrimp...but these were suppose to be JUMBO! Now I've had jumbo and colossal blue crabs before and they were HUGE! These are best were maybe large because most were pretty heavy...but that doesn't mean they are jumbo. So I really didn't like that I paid 90/dz for what I thought would be huge and get home and see these tiny crabs. The owners were really nice and even provided me with some newspaper to eat my crab. But to say these are jumbo is dishonest. Especially when the price is up there in this economy.

I guess they could tell that this was my first time visiting. Everything smelled wonderful while I was waiting for my order and there are a couple of tables for people to sit and enjoy their meal. This is primarily a takeout establishment, but you can sit down. Space is kind of limited for an inside dining experience. I got a shrimp basket with fries and coleslaw and an order of clam strips for my wife. The orders were tasty. My wife enjoyed her clam strips and my fried shrimp with fries and Cole slaw was still hot when I got home. No pictures to share this time

This is very hard to believe that I've never reviewed the "old" version of the Fish Market, but…read moresince it changed ownership and completely revamped the venue, I'll review the new version! :) First, I can't believe how crowded this place is since the reopening. Parking is ALWAYS a challenge every time that I've come. Once you walk inside you realize, this is NOT the same ole Fish Market. Talk about a total gut job. Formally, the restaurant was a traditional sit down neighborhood spot. Now, it has totally transformed into a sports bar with TV's all over the place. Fish Market has in my opinion the largest bar in the DMV. It is humongous! I applaud them for knowing where the money is and that's the bar! They also have a nice number of pub tables throughout, so as far as flow goes, I like this flow better than the former Fish Market. The menu has totally changed. I must say, I liked the old one better because it was a traditional seafood restaurant with all of your favorites. Now, its wings, pizza, fried fish and a couple entrees like salmon and shrimp pasta. All and all, it's a great spot if you want a strong drink at a decent price and even though it's mostly bar food, it's pretty damn good, especially the seafood pizza... Hittin!!

Easy enough. Plenty of tables/chairs/bar space. Walked in around 7pm to a Live DJ playing today's hits, gogo, and old school 70s RnB before we left around 9p. Place was nearly packed! Everyone was vibing and having a good time! We found barspace. Bartender came only promptly and checked on us. She didn't return for a long time tho after we rec'd our drinks. I ordered the Chicken box (4 wings) and fries. The fries were the best part. Wings came up super hot, so I ate them for breakfast the next morning lol A little ratchet, a little local, all fun. Apparently, they also have happy hour starting at 11am til maybe 6pm during the week ***Gratuity is automatically included at the bar*** I would come back

The individuals who answer the phones and take orders are rude, and the overall quality is lacking. I saw this place on TikTok and noticed that it was located in my old neighborhood, so I decided to give it a try. The employees were kind and walked me through the menu, which led me to order catfish and fried shrimp rice. Y'all, Chinese food in the District Heights/Forestville area hasn't tasted this good since the 90's. My combo meal cost around 15 bucks, and it included a yellow drink. I won't call it lemonade, because it was old-school lemon-flavor Kool-Aid. It was sooo good, and if you put it in the freezer and added Henny, it would make a great evening. I will be back!

My usual order is the Boom Boom Shrimp, which always comes out hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. This past Sunday, I decided to try their bottomless seafood special, and it did not disappoint. For under $40, you can eat as much seafood as you want, and the portions are huge. They offer multiple flavor options and allow you to customize your spice level to match your palate. The drinks are great too, though they're an additional cost still reasonably priced. During football season, it can get a bit loud, so if you prefer a quiet dining environment, that's something to keep in mind. The service could be a little better, but overall, it's a great experience if you're coming for the food. Delicious seafood, generous portions, and fun vibes definitely worth a visit!

I've Been Wanting To Try This Place For Over a Year Now. FRIED SHRIMP PLATTER - $18 Came With 8 Pieces Of Fried Shrimp & Two Sides. I Chose Mac & Cheese + Fries.

Personally, I Wish They Had Crinkle-Cut Fries, That Would've Taken It Up A Notch. MAC N CHEESE Really Good & Honestly Different From Anywhere Else I've Had. Comforting & Flavorful Without Being Basic. I Definitely Need To Try Their Crack Cakes Next Time Especially The One With Lobster Meat BBQ SAUCE OMGGGGGG!!!!!! Their BBQ Sauce Deserves Its Own Section. I Tried It On The Side & It Was Everything. It Immediately Reminded Me Of The BBQ From The Rib Man On The Street Corner In DC.... Brought Back So Many Memories. So Good They Need More Items With This Sauce, Period. The Staff Was Super Friendly & Had Smiles. Special Shoutout To The Lady Working As The Cashier, She Was Absolutely Phenomenal. So Kind, Welcoming, & Extremely Helpful. They Definitely Hired The Right Person To Bring Warmth To The Space. I Loved The Fire Station Theme. From The Fire Pole To The Phone & The Entire Setup, It Truly Felt Like A Real Fire Station. Super Clean, Thoughtfully Designed, And Very Welcoming.

My only nitpick: the onions were more lightly sautéed than truly caramelized. Service had a rocky start. We waited at the "please wait to be seated" sign and were totally ignored until a bar regular flagged down a waiter. The guy who came over didn't say a word -- just waved us to a table, dropped menus, and vanished. I braced for the worst, but our server turned it around. She was sweet, attentive, and on top of everything. The vibe is lively, mostly thanks to the bar crowd. Nothing rowdy, but it's definitely not the spot for a quiet dinner. I liked the energy, though I get that it's not for everyone. 4/5 stars. That silent host cost them a star, but the food and our server made up for it.
