    Shrimp Burger
    Larry M.

    I've been seeing this huge fish sandwich go viral in the DC area. Whole time good folks are getting it from a spot that I reviewed a while back!! So it was time for me to pull back up!! . Where I am: @claudehavemercyseafood inside of @hellocommas . Location Reviewed: 8661 Colesville Rd., level 3 Silver Spring M.D. . Items Reviewed: STAMP!! Their Fried Whiting Sandwich ($16 a whole whiting battered, fried with a Cajun slaw on a brioche bun). HUGE, perfectly seasoned, a crispy batter, & hard to finish!! STAMP!! Their Seafood Pizza ($23 with shrimp, crab, & salmon sitting in a white sauce). Off the first bite I knew this was a winner!! Garlicky, buttery, with a hefty amount of seafood!! LIKE THAT! Their Catfish Po'Boy ($15.50 fried catfish pieces with lettuce, & seafood aioli inside of a hoagie roll). A well seasoned crunchy battered fish!! Plentiful, & tasty!! STAMP!! Their Salone Wings ($15.50 a west African stew consisting of cassava leaves, tomatoes, palm oil, & groundnuts overtop of fried wings). This HIT different!! Super savory, mild, & tasty!! Not an acquired taste...you should like these!! . Customer Service: On Point!! . Parking: ROUGH on the street, DECENT in the parking garages!! . Recommendations: Get that fish sandwich!! 5 Stars=STAMP 4 1/2 Stars=LIKE THAT 4 Stars=DELICIOUS 3 Stars=DECENT 2 Stars=PASS 1 Star=NAH #Bigschlimsreviews

    The BEST fish sandwich EV-ER
    Miss C C.

    Let me tell you it was hard for me to find this spot inside the mall w/o calling for guidance. This is the best hidden gem there. This is the only place I will ever buy fish or a fish sandwich from. It was meaty, well seasoned, well portioned and worth the price. It was cooked to order and I love freshness as well. If you check out my other reviews you will see how I have been disappointed by other establishments, so when I say this is the ONLY place I truly mean it. I can't wait to taste their Mac n cheese, shrimp burger etc. so stay tuned!

    Salone Fish Sandwich Combo

    I was craving a delicious fried fish sandwich and I didn't know where to go. I came across this establishment on tiktok and had to try it. Upon arriving the owner was very warm and personable, guiding me through my order. While I was waiting he also let me try an impeccable rum cake he was considering introducing to the menu. There was a dj in the food court providing a great r&b mix. Once I got my food I was blown away. The sandwich was huge. The fish was fried to perfection and well seasoned and the sauce was a perfect pairing. The fries were delicious as well. If in the area, you must give them a try!

    Chicken tenders came out fresh. They looked delicious. In hindsight, I wish I had tried the bbq sauce with it. Probably would've been fantastic

    Decent food at Commas Food Hall. We had the salmon tenders which were good but it did take a while for the food to come out.

    About two blocks from the main cross-streets of Downtown Silver Spring. Worth the brief walk to…read morecome for dinner. It was a nice evening and we decided to sit outside. For starters, we got the New England Clam Chowder and an order of Chickpea Fries. New England Clam Chowder - definitely a chowder and not a soup (heavy cream base) with a nice flavor and a healthy amount of clam bits. Chickpea Fries - A nice portion of well prepared fries. Nice crunch on the outside, but moist on the inside. Well seasoned and not oily. Comes with ketchup and an avocado lime ranch, which was ok. It's a huge portion and we took most of it home to enjoy later. Good use of chickpeas. Branzino - This is a whole fish split in half. Pretty easy to remove the bones oneself. The skin was nice and crunchy with the meat inside moist. Well prepared. I'm not a huge fan of dill and I think the seasoning of dill is a bit overdone here. (I'm pretty sure it's dill. Whatever it is, it's too heavy for me and detracts from the meal.). The wild rice side dish is very good. Lobster Roll - Excellent. My partner ordered this and the only comment was that the large was very big and next time they likely would get the small one. Lots of delicious, cold lobster meat. The fries also were excellent. The service overall was very good. Our food was served at an appropriate rate (apps, then main, which seems not to be important at a lot of restaurants these days) and the water service was excellent. Recommend this restaurant. I probably would not get the Branzino again because of the heavy dill seasoning, but there are other items in the menu that look interesting.

Even considering it's off-season, the size didn't match what was advertised. On top of that, they tasted off, almost like they weren't fresh, the texture of the crab meat was dry/ mushy and the garlic butter was terrible. The drinks didn't help either--the sweet tea and half & half both tasted horrible. Service was average at best, nothing that made up for the rest of the experience. And to top it off, they automatically added an 18% gratuity for a party of 4 (20% for parties over 6), which felt excessive given the quality or lack thereof. Also, they do NOT accept Apple Pay as advertised. Overall: -4127/10. Would not recommend.

My group of 5 enjoyed a variety of their drinks and dishes, sharing 3 appetizers, enjoying 5 entrees, and indulging in two of their desserts. I started off with an alcoholic Mai Thai. Food wise, I had their grilled oysters, brussel Cesar, fried chicken curry dish, trifle dessert, and sorbet. As a non-seafood person, it was a big deal for me to try their oysters. I started slow with just their grilled oysters. They were drowning in garlic and butter, so it was hard not to like. The Brussel cesar was also a solid shareable. I appreciated that the salad did not come drenched in dressing. The curry friend chicken was phenomenal! The chicken fell of the bone so easily and was so crispy, moist, and overall outstanding. The curry and impossible rice paired perfectly with it. Finally, the desserts! I could have eaten two of the trifle dessert...it was smooth, creamy, and the perfect amount of sweet. It was everyone's favorite between the two. The sorbet was good, but I found the white chocolate a little weird/awkward since it was sitting around a bunch of cold sorbet...didn't melt or mesh well with the dish. It wasn't bad, but I'd try something else next time. Overall, I loved this place. The vibes, staff, and food were amazing. I can't wait to introduce more friends to this gem.

The booth offers curtains and the ability to adjust your lighting and music.... lovely bonus. We ordered a lot: Shrimp Cocoktail -9 Crab balls - 9 (wish they were more or bigger...comes with 5) Steak Frites - 8 Chicken - 8 (didnt care the root vegetables but the flavor, overall, was great) Scallops - 7 (great flavor, some were under. The bed of spring vegetables could have been spinach instead...?) Complimentary birthday cake 10...amazing!! We also got a few drinks that I cant rate, but my friends said were great! Will absolutely be back again! ALEX is wonderful and the food is consistently amazing. Kudos to the Chefs !!!
