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, I wasn't really happy about our seat but I couldn't see behind the wall to know if there was another table to request to move to. We were sat in the front corner I guess directly under a vent and it was already chilly outside. I didn't let it bother me because I really wanted to try ERRTHANG on the menu. Now, this is where I was about to get up and leave. We sat for a good while and NO ONE came to greet, take a drink order, or even ask have we been helped. I want to say it's because we were somewhat out of sight. Because it was freezing I got up and asked for another table, which was on the other side of the wall with all the other customers and much warmer even with the patio bar doors open. No, I don't remember my waiters name, but he came over immediately and apologized for us being stranded in the back. We went on to order our drinks which came fairly quickly and we ordered our food. I was kind of disappointed because he said they no longer served fried crab legs and should be taken off the menu, but that's OK. I was ready to order something else. I had Chef Mo's Shrimp & Grits and when I say it's the best shrimp and grits I've ever had in my life. It was amazing. The grits were three cheese grits with crawfish, étouffée, and large perfectly shrimp with some BOMB jalapeño beef sausage, which I would have removed, but I said let's do it. Best decision I've ever made. I cannot stop thinking about the grits. My friend ordered the Cajun fried fish and grits with a side of eggs (no pic). We both raved the entire time about how creamy and delicious the grits were. I didn't need to add anything, no butter, no salt, no sugar. They were absolutely amazing and I'm not even a huge grits fan. Now, the fish, the menu stated half a pound, which came out to be one small piece of whiting. I guess I was expecting a bigger piece or maybe two pieces because it was so tiny but that baby filet was seasoned to the gods, I mean perfect. The breading was so flavorful but not overpowering or salty. The eggs tasted like the eggs I had in the marines out of a bag, but he mix them with the grits and was fine. Everything was so good that we thought about coming back later that night to try something else. Please bring back the deep-fried crab legs

I was also happy with the portion size, well worth the cost; andddd now that I am moving nearby, I'm pretty sure that they will be seeing more of me.

Since moving to MD from VA I have been trying many different restaurants and mainly trying to…read morepinpoint what's the best place to get my seafood close to my house. Living in MD there are so many places to choose from and by God I'm trying to try all of them if I can! lol So this past Thursday (5/15/25) I had a strong taste for some seafood and decided to try a new place around the way. So I just Google blue crab and plenty of places popped up on Yelp and I decided on L&V. It was around 8pm when I ordered a dozen large males and steamed shrimp which I was kind of annoyed it was by the count and not the lbs. so I just ordered 20 shrimp and asked for extra seasoning on both. Which unfortunately I did not get...Smdh I will say this is definitely a certified hood spot. So if you a little scary of random folks just chilling outside and inside don't come here...lol. I'm the type of person who knows how to speak and keep it moving because I wasn't trying to hold a conversation. It looks like it has a bar and maybe a liquor store combination or something like that. It was definitely a weird combination, but I guess it works for them. But anyways the shrimp was really good...but they were not large in my book! One was so small I was like is this a baby crab? I can say the ones I did try were steamed well and the shrimp too...BUT I didn't get extra seasoning on anything and if you want cocktails sauce they don't have it. But you can pay $2 for butter. Will I be back? I don't think so. Good of you in the area but there are too many other places to try...so on to the next!

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.

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!

So I got a 2lbs each of shrimp and crab legs to start to see how they cooked their seafood. They have a plethora of items to choose from fried foods to steamed fish and other seafoods. So if you not into the steamed they got you for the fried foods. And I think they might had other items to choose from, but I was just wanting to try the seafood. I paid for my food and went back to the car to wait about 20 minutes. So after I grabbed my food I headed to the house to partake in what smelled really good. I really enjoyed that they give you reusable bags with your order. As we all know that in Maryland you pay for bags so I think I might have paid but not even sure. I was pleasantly impressed how good the seafood was cooked that I went back the very next day! This time I got large blue crabs and more shrimp. I was a little disappointed with the blue crabs because the large were light and small. And I had one that was not fresh so had to throw it out. Now I will give them one more try to get the blue crabs right...so hopefully next time I can maybe give them that 4th star. For now they get a 3.75 star rating. I will definitely be back for the shrimp because they have gotten that right each 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!!
