    Catfish Fillets and grouper sandwich
    Emily A.

    The catfish filet left me speechless!!! We stopped here during a road trip and were blown away. I wanted to try everything! The fish is so fresh and perfectly seasoned. Onion rings were not my favorite, but the fries were great. All the servers were so friendly and provided us with a variety of different sauces and recommendations.

    We were In Albany for a family reunion and the 3 of us decided to take a break and find a local spot for lunch. We are so happy that we decided on Albany Fish Company. The food was delicious, hot and fresh. I can honestly say they have the best hush puppies in the WORLD! Super friendly staff. If I'm ever in the area I will be back.

    Catfish dinner with Cole Slaw and Cheesy Grits
    Jerome M.

    Oh this place was a good find and was awesome! Hands down, the best catfish I ever had. This spot is seafood market/restauraunt. We ordered our food on the market side, then sat out in the patio dining area which was really nice. I had the catfish dinner which came with 3 long catfish fillets and two sides. My side picks were cole slaw and cheese grits. Starting with the catfish...PERFECTLY seasoned and coated, PERFECTLY fried and PERFECTLY drained of excess oil. Need I say more?!?! I mean this was not greasy, it had a crispy crust and it was seasoned well that I didn't need to drown it in tartar sauce. Now for the sides...cole slaw was decent. It wasn't mayoee nor too sweet, so it was good for me. As for the cheese grits...this was the only 2-3 star dish. Grits were very watery and they just added shredded cheese which didn't melt. It also include 2 hush puppies which were pretty good. They had corn in them which was different, but still very good. Overall...I really love this place! Too bad I was only visiting, but I wouldn't hesitate to go back if I had the opportunity.

    Bent metal fork and plastic silverware for crab...
    James P.

    While my wife likes the crab here, don't think to dine in. They charge $70 for a bowl of Crab, crawfish, sausage, potatoes, and corn. Then, they tell you they no longer provide the tool to break open crabs because customers steal them. Learning this after the meal is served, along with their "absolutely no refund" policy posted on the wall ruined the meal. My wife could barely break open the crab and was offered a metal fork, which promptly bent in using to open crab cluster. Management needs to learn how to operate a business. If customers steal the crab tool, then it should just be a deposit charged when ordering for dine-in that you get back after returning the tool. Or just charge $3 more for a cheap Walmart tool. When the meal costs $70, paying a small added silverware fee is preferable to the ruined dining experience. I am dismayed the server would even provide plastic utensils for a $70 dine-in meal. Absolutely ridiculous.

    Shrimp and Fries

    The best way is to break down everything. Hush puppies 10/10 SO GOOD, wish they were bigger Shrimp was okay, wish it was a little more tender so would rate this 7/10 Fries 6/10 Wish the cocktail sauce was a little fresher and needed more horseradish Customer service was great! I would try the fish, maybe that's what they are really known for!

    8 piece shrimp dinner

    I have been to Albany Fish Company several times and every time I go I'm greeted by KeeVee ( sorry If i spelt your name wrong) my order is quickly taken and within 10 minutes my food is normally brought out to me. Pipping hot ! Everything is always so fresh and cooked very well. I have had their breakfast salmon croquettes and it was good as well. This place never disappoints. Definitely give it a try !

    Alligator bites
    Renzo M.

    I saw really high reviews so I had to try this place, later I realized that I should have PAID ATTENTION to what people were commenting. The high scores happened when people ordered a grilled piece of fish and a couple of sides !!! Apparently fish is fresh and it is probably good. Me on the other hand I made a bad choice and ordered out of the Chefs specials !!! Terrible choice. The shrimp and grits is not worth it. Shrimp was fine but the grits and the sauce were really tasteless !!! Considering that I had 5 shrimps it was really overpriced. I also ordered the alligator bites.... they were ok but nothing to brag about either. This place was also a little confusing as you need to order on the building on the left first before getting a table on the building on the right. There aren't even any signs. I saw many people being confused. People were friendly though and the customers that were eating the plain fish seemed to enjoy it that's the reason for my 3 stars .

    Went on a rainy Friday night round 6. Quite a few people already here, but not quite a full house…read more Over the next hour and a half, this place got packed. The interior is nice for date night or drinks with friends. It's versatile in there. Our server:Taylor, was super cool, and attentive. The owner comes out and speaks to everyone, saying: "hey how's everyone doing tonight, I appreciate y'all coming in!" He does this to every table. That alone makes this one of the few places here in Albany with outstanding customer service. We had the brown sugar glazed salmon over rice, grits, mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, hush puppies, and Wasabi Tuna The salmon was a bit dry, and a little small: not worth $33, I believe it was. The rice tasted like the boil in a bag minute rice. Mashed potatoes, grits, and Tuna were all pretty good. The Brussels sprouts were delish and so were the hush puppies! Overall the food was decent enough, but nothing fancy for the price. I'm sure there are other items on the menu worth the cost. Having said that; I'll recommend visiting this dining establishment:)

    I came into town for work and arrived right around dinner time. I opened Yelp and looked for…read moreanything rated 4 stars or above nearby, and this spot came up. A quick glance at the menu showed crab claws, and that sold me immediately -- I love crab claws. When I arrived, the place was packed. I was told there'd be a 20-30 minute wait, which surprised me for Albany, GA. The host explained it was half-off oyster night, so I figured I'd hit the jackpot -- oysters and crab claws? Perfect. Unfortunately, the excitement faded a bit from there. They didn't offer chargrilled oysters, only baked with parmesan or raw. I went with a dozen baked oysters and an appetizer of crab claws. The crab claws came out first. They were small to medium in size and tasted fine overall -- nothing bad, just smaller than I expected for the price. Then the oysters arrived, and they were very small, smaller than my thumbnail, with no seasoning other than the cheese. Not impressive. I ordered another dozen hoping the first batch was a fluke, but the second dozen was even smaller. On the positive side, the staff was very friendly, and service was great. But the oyster size was easily the smallest I've ever been served at a restaurant. This was my first time in the area and my only visit, but based on the oysters alone, I wouldn't return.

Obviously we immediately stopped eating because that's a serious safety concern. We politely contacted the restaurant to let them know what happened and asked for a refund, but the manager was rude and dismissive about the situation and refused to help. Finding a foreign object in food is bad enough, but the way it was handled made the experience even worse. This could have seriously hurt someone. At the very least, we expected an apology and a refund, but instead we were treated like the issue didn't matter. I hope the restaurant takes food safety more seriously in the future so this doesn't happen to someone else.

There were muddy foot prints on the very sticky floor. It rained the previous day so that means the floor had not been mopped since. There was random bits of paper around the floors too. Just not a good start. The food order was correct. We ordered a pretty large spread for 4 people to try the place out. The wings are on the small side but good. The philly was ok. It should be kinda messy since it was all the way but it was dry. It tasted fine though. Everything else was just ok too. So again, we might try them again because sometimes you just catch a place on a bad night but in the end we will probably stick with the wing place on Ledo.
