Johnson Fish Market is a long-established neighborhood seafood shop in Hartford, Connecticut. The…read moreplace offers fish, shellfish, and seafood platters. When I was in the Hartford area and craving some fish, I checked out this spot on Yelp. It's not in the nicest part of town, but that's often where you find the best food. As I stepped inside, I was greeted warmly and ordered the number 5 platter, which included three pieces of whiting and a piece of catfish. I wanted some coleslaw on the side, but they didn't have it. The staff mentioned they sold potato salad instead. They even gave me a sample, which was just okay--personally, I thought it needed more potatoes since I could mainly taste the dressing. My order arrived within about ten or fifteen minutes. The fish was just so-so. The whiting was a bit bland, and although it looked crispy, it felt slimy when I bit into it. The catfish was good and didn't have that slimy texture, but it lacked a real punch of flavor. The fries were decent enough. The customer service was friendly, and the staff made me feel welcome.

One of the finest meals we had on our trip. We went with our hosts to a local favorite of theirs…read more It was fairly close by and a stand alone restaurant that had been enlarged from just a pub years ago when it was established. Our hosts were regulars and the staff was familiar to them. The descriptions of all the highlights of the specials as well as the main menu items made them all sound delicious and I will attest, they certainly were. Their warm house baked breads with soft butter started us well. I took the prix fixe special of the night and I could not have been happier. The scallops were numerous, the specialty gazpacho so filling, I only ate half, the tagliatelle was perfect. The grilled artichokes are a fave for me. I gave the ice cream from my cinnamon roll a la mode to my husband so it worked out well for both of us. All of us loved our food and the experience. But we were so talkative, I never got pics of their meals or any of our drinks. My husband loved his beer, my cousin her wine, her husband his drink. I would certainly eat there again when in the area.

Beautiful ambience, classy, quiet music in the background. Molly our server was friendly, attentive, and helped us especially with selecting our dessert. We ordered the old fashioned and Negroni from the happy hour menu to start with. They were so delicious that my husband went to talk to the bartender to find out how the particulars of how the Negroni was concocted. We ordered the baby gem Caesar salad and chicken katsu sandwich from the happy hour menu and the steak frites from the dinner menu which comes with skinny fries and arugula salad, Everything was well seasoned and delicious. To top it all off we shared a chocolate chip bread pudding (thanks for the recommendation, Molly!) Super happy with the whole dining experience. 5/5

I've been meaning to check this truck out for a bit but somehow kept missing them…read more There were only 10 mins between ordering and getting my food and the service was friendly. I didn't catch her name but she's the owner's daughter! I got the salmon with fries and an order of hushpuppies, which came to $18. I feel like the portions were a good size for that price. The salmon was fried and not dry but was better with the sweet chili sauce, in my opinion. I didn't know the fries would be seasoned. They weren't bad but I would've preferred them just with salt. The hushpuppies were a little too dry for my liking. They were almost crumbling as I picked them up but the flavor was on point. I overheard a few people talking about their wings so I'll check them out again and try something new!

Happy to report that my fears were misplaced. This place is a good fish-fry. I got the clam plate and it had a bunch of tasty (and salty and fried) claims with a side of fries.

However, everything is always cooked really well. Our favorite appetizers is the bang bang broccoli, you get so much and it tastes so sweet, a little spicy, very unique.

Wide variety of seats and tables.
