Great selection of seafood! I'm trying to eat healthier, so I love that they have so many grilled options, not just fried. My favorite sides were the the Greek potatoes and the cabbage.. seasoned to perfection! Be careful with some of the fish because some of it has bones. Not a fan of the Greek slaw.. little too dry for my taste. I ordered the stuffed snapper, smoked tuna, and Maryland crab cake. Overall I had a great experience.The food was so good I got a plate to go!

I have lived near Highway 280 for the past six years and have passed The Fish Market almost daily on my way to other businesses and restaurants, yet I never took the time to stop in or even look at the menu. That finally changed—and I’m glad it did.
After viewing their menu online, I decided to give it a try for dinner, and I was very impressed from start to finish. The variety of selections immediately stood out, offering something for everyone. Even more impressive was the level of customer service, which truly exceeded the hype.
The restaurant itself is spacious and very inviting. Despite it being a packed evening, we were seated quickly with minimal wait time, which was a pleasant surprise.
As for the food—it absolutely exceeded expectations. I started with the calamari, which was fried to perfection—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. For my entrée, I had the grilled salmon with two side dishes, and everything was prepared and seasoned exceptionally well.
This was one of those dining experiences that immediately makes you say, “We’ll definitely be back.” And we will.

One of my favorites in Birmingham. They always have a selection of fresh oysters. From big Gulf oysters all the way to small boutique style. I usually eat from the "specials" menu. Friendly staff. I highly recommend!!

Great Food. No wait time. Enough options that it makes it hard for you to quickly order. Something for everyone from the kids to the grandparents you will not be disappointed. Our appetizers were perfect. Our entrees were prepared exactly as ordered. We will definitely be back again
