    Hmm....after riding around cookeville for what seemed to be forever trying to decide what we wanted to eat, we came across this place on Yelp! We called prior to visiting to ensure they could do what we wanted based off the type of establishment this is. The people who work here were very friendly and the establishment was really clean. Reminded you of a seafood shop on someone's coast. We browsed the menu, inquired about suggestions, and settled for the "Hoot Plate" but instead of the steamed shrimp I requested for it to be friend. According to the menu it states the "Hoot plate" was $21.99 which included "bubbas way" (1 piece of corn, 1 piece of andouille sausage, and 2 red potatoes) along with the steamed shrimp. In order for them to prepare it fried I needed to pay an up charge, which was fine. So I'm under the impression that I would be charged $21.99 plus an additional to prepare the shrimp fried. When it was all said and done we were charged $36.17, to find that everything was run up individually. Price breakdown.... $19.99 for shrimp, $3.99 to fry it, $1.99 for drink and $6.99 for 1 piece of corn, 1 1/2 inch of sausage, and 2 quarter sized hush puppies. For $6.99 I honestly would expect a little more considering the amount I'm paying for the add on. My issue with this is why was I charged to get "bubbas way" when in the "hoot plate" bubbas way was included in pricing. I'm aware that fresh and good seafood is pricey, but to pay this and be given this amount of a side seems a bit stingy if you ask me. Overall, the shrimp was really good it could stand a little more salt, which she offered "slap ya mama" seasoning for us to sprinkle on it. The huspuppies were good, corn was unseasoned, and the andouille aqua sage was a tease considering the amount given.

    Absolutely delicious. Some of the best seafood I've ever had in Tennessee. The service was phenomenal and they were so nice! Wish I lived closer I'd definitely come by more often

    One of the best po'boys I've had outside of NOLA. The staff was super sweet and the sandwich was amazing 10/10 would go again

    This is a really neat place! This is like a little slice of the gulf right in the middle of Cookeville. A really neat find. My dad and I saw a flyer for Bubba Gandy's while walking through Dogwood Park and decided to drive over and give it a try. In typical gulf style, you can have it steamed there and eat it, or you can buy it and take it home to fix yourself. It is not a cheap place obviously, due to what you are getting. They have a large selection of fresh seafood that is mostly from the gulf it seemed like. It was all very fresh and seemed to be a good quality. We tried the snapper and the royal red shrimp. It was seriously delicious. We had them fix it for us there and it was done just right. The andouille sausage was also spot on. Delicious!! I really enjoyed this place and if I could I would be a daily customer It was SO GOOD!!!!!!!! Please support this awesome, pretty new local business and give this place a try!!

    Fresh fish to order bar.

    Fresh fish cooked the way you like it with the Bubba's way sides corn potatoes sausage and sauce. Ordered soup and had salmon cooked to order. Was very tasty. Will return next time I'm in town.

    After checking it out about a week ago we went for lunch yesterday. I can not say enough good things about it my royal red shrimp PO boy was sooooo good and my sis in law had the grouper sandwich also delish! I can't wait to take my husband here. We will definitely be back! They have a nice selection, next time I'm bringing home fish to cook and some soup.

    Walking into Aloha Fish Company feels like stepping into a little slice of Hawaii right in…read moreNashville. It has that laid - back, market style vibe with a fish market and takeaway, along with pantry items. I ordered the ahi tuna poke bowl with all the toppings and found it incredibly fresh and flavorful. Only wish they put more fish in the bowl for the price! Service was warm and welcoming and it's nice to be able to eat at the outdoor seating when weather permits!

    I've been looking forward to trying this fish for a while after I saw that the business was moving…read moreinto its new space at one city. It met my expectations and beyond! I was immediately met with smiling faces and an offer to explain their menu as it was my first time in. I ordered a poke bowl with all the toppings and an order of their special: Kalua pork. It was too cold to eat outside, so I took the food home to share with family. Although I ordered a mixed poke bowl, it turned out there was only ahi added. However, it was the freshest tuna I've had in forever (or ever, maybe!). It brought me right back to a short time I lived on Oahu, eating plain marinated ahi before bowls were so popular! Next time I'll make sure to try the salmon. The kalua pork was equally authentic with its tender bite and smoky flavor, and it paired perfectly with the rice and mac salad. We did add a bit of Japanese bbq sauce to the meat at home, which made it a little more interesting. The portions were enormous! I shared with family and had enough pork leftover for a next-day lunch. There is no indoor seating, but because it's located at one city, there is plenty of outdoor community seating. I'll be back in better weather, to enjoy a fresh catch while watching a beach volleyball match! Before then, I may swing by to pickup one of their dinner kits with the freshest fish in Nashville.

And being an Army brat (and Army veteran) helps. And I love the Sunrise Supermarket - I've shopped there every week or two since they opened. I buy a lot of fish at the fish counter, and never had a bad experience with their fish (of course, I know how to buy fish, and occasionally I need to speak a little Spanish, which I can). The produce section is wonderful. I wish I knew how to cook a tenth of what they sell in that store! In contrast to what several reviewers have said, I've never experienced or observed any discourtesy to anyone. Sure, there are occasional difficulties in communication, with so many nationalities represented, but that's part of the fun of it. I fairly often want a Chinese item that doesn't have a satisfactory English name, so I find the Chinese characters on the Web and print them out, and find somebody in the store who can read Chinese, and promptly am led to what I want. (I just discovered sha cha sauce that way.) Checking my shopping list now - sesame oil, some fresh squid to stir-fry and a pompano to steam, some frozen Chinese dumplings, a bottle of nước mắm, a bag of bean sprouts, a Mexican squash. And by now the 2026 Chinese calendars should be in.

    I get fresh fish and vegetables here every week. The guy that cleans the fish is always nice. I…read morehighly recommend.
