    Catfish Platter

    Honestly , the catfish was good even though it was fried too soft for my liking. Mac & cheese , 5/10, has a nasty/funny after taste. Collards 4/10, not really much flavor , has a light vinegar taste but that's about it. I most likely won't return.

    Friendly staff. Nice decor. Schrab cake disappointed. Catfish delicious just fry a little harder but I didn't ask so that's on me. Yams good & sweet. Shrimp fried too hard but good size. Mac and cheese ain't it, very salty and a flavor I never had in Mac before. Baked beans didn't seem fresh more like reheated. Short wait time.

    So I wanted to try their food after I seen the guy from Instagram that review food recommend this place. I ordered the wingette platter and my husband ordered the pork rib platter. The food was okay. I preferred my chicken to be fried with a batter then add sauce. When restaurant cooked naked wings they seem to be fried too hard for my liking but the sauce was delicious the Mac and cheese was too eggy and lacked seasoning. The greens were good but were dry due to lack of juice in them. I also purchased hush puppies they were delicious. The customer service was excellent which saved the review. I will give another chance hopefully it will be better next time.

    Stamp Platter
    Tania W.

    The customer service was good. There wasn't any traffic so I didn't have to wait to order. I ordered the stamp platter; 2 pieces of fried catfish, candied yams, macaroni & cheese, 4 or 5 fried shrimp, and a fried shrab cake with shrab sauce. The best parts of the platter were the catfish and the yams. Everything else was a 7/10. There was more flavor needed and the shrimp were tough. The macaroni and cheese didn't have much seasoning to give a real review.

    Shrab Cake Platter
    Montu M.

    The Shrab Cake (Shrimp & Crab CAke) Platter is consistently AMAZING and is a VALUE. The people who work here are very accommodating and always take great care of me. Vintage decorations inside this carryout take me back in time and remind me of DCPS field trips. Definitely stopping any and every time I'm in Clinton.

    Candied Yams
    Brice G.

    It's okay for overpriced "ok" food. The Yams had too much vanilla extract and the mac n cheese had too much egg. I ended up throwing it out. They do wingettes not wings, just wanna point that out there. The guys were sitting outside posted up lol. I probably won't go back. The place was empty. Service was good, no complaints, I cook so I know what's bomb and what ain't lls.

    Catfish, baked beans and collard Greens

    This food is MOST definitely SOUL food that is umm, umm good to my belly Every visit has not disappointed my taste buds The food is not expensive and worth EVERY cent spent The customer service is friendly, location is clean, and most definitely cooked with LOVE

    Place your order then return to your vehicle notice.

    The $18 Shrab sandwich which came with French Fries was excellent, 5/5. My sidekick said she would order the whiting fish meal (2 sides) again. You can not eat in now-Covid restrictions. You order and they bring your order to your automobile. There are various delivery services (Uber Eats, Doordash and Postmates) also. They open at noon and we were the only ones there at 12:10 PM. From the road, look for Rita's the ice cream place. This place is hidden behind and on the side of Rita's It's the opposite side and slightly down the block from the PG Fire Station.That makes sense. :-)

    Where is the lump!

    My husband and and went there this past Saturday because my husband saw the "Stamped" review and had to try it. He got the Stamped plater with shrab cake, catfish, shrimp, and fries. I had the fried shrimp ( I don't eat Crab Cakes) with Mac & Cheese and yams. I also got some lemon pepper wings, cornbread, and hush puppies. We didn't get there till about 7:30 and they close at 8:00. The service was good, nice and friendly. When we got our food the gentleman encouraged us to check to make sure we got what we ordered and we did. So far so good. When sat down to eat after we got home. We live in Upper Marlboro, the food was still hot (we did have one of those cheap heat bags). The catfish, shrimp, (both were a bit salty), fries, cornbread, and hush puppies were good. The yams were off the chain, truly "Stamped". Now the sharb cake...see the pic below...no lump at all. My husband said it was awful!!!! That is why we went there in the first place, he was VERY VERY disappointed!!!!!!

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.

They Had My Favorite Type Of Fries: Crinkle Cut, Crispy, Yet Still Soft Inside. This Alone Made Me Happy . The Shrimp Were Big, Fried Perfectly & Had A Nice Crunch On The Outside. I Just Wish They Had A Little More Seasoning For Extra Flavor. Solid Seafood Spot With Good Portions, Great Prices, Easy Parking, & Friendly Service. I'll Definitely Be Back To Try More Stuff. I Can't Believe I Never Knew They Had This In Clinton, I've Been To The District Heights Location But Happy For This 1 Too.

    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!!

    I just found a NEW seafood restaurant in Clinton MD. I have been wanting to try one of those…read moreseafood boils. And this place is right in my neighborhood!! The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and went over the entire menu with me. Prices for their seafood boil starts at $29.95 for 1/2 lb Black Mussels 1/2 lb Shrimp 1/2 lb Snow Crab Legs. Not bad for the area and compared to other places. I got the $30.95 boil with 1 lb shrimp and 1/2 lb snow crabs. The shrimp were medium size and very very good, crab legs were an OK size, but still good. They have 4 seasoning to select and 4 spicy levels. I got the Cajun seasoning and Hot spicy, which was just right for me. My meal came with Hibachi Rice which was delicious. I also got 1/2 lb of clams for $7. They were cooked to perfection. My order of Calamari was OK, I was not a fan of the cook on those, should have been a little bit more on the crispy side. All in all, I am a FAN and I will return for more. They are right off Old Branch Ave, near the Shoppers. So get your butt over there pronto!! Bon Appetit

However,…read morethe first time I ordered 1/2 lb. shrimp I received corn & potatoes as the menu mentioned it is included. The second time I ordered 1/2 lb clams , 1/2 lb shrimp with head and 1/2 lb shrimp off. I received a potato in each bag but no corn. I called the store and the lady says no corn comes with 1/2 lb. items. I said ok the first time I ordered it came with it. She says ok maybe another chef but you shouldn't received corn. I then said ok It's also on the menu, you should make the changes to the menu if that's something new you are implementing but my thing is she never took ownership. That's also false advertisement, if she would apologize and give a legitimate reason or explanation then you may not lose a customer. But I don't like the inconsistency and then she act like I made it up...

    Must admit the food here is quite tasty & fresh!!…read more This spot definitely has become of my "go-to"s" when in this area. The food is fast, quick, and offers a good variety of menu items to mix in to the fold when it comes to looking for fast-casual places offering healthy options--like fresh vegetable and decent proteins. The menu is mostly comprised of hibachi eats, but surprisingly.....this place offers Pho and Noodle dishes as well. In similar fashion to Chipotle but just on an Asian fare tip....you walk down an assembly line of options starting with noodle/rice choices and assemble your bowl of delicious, healthy veggies, proteins and toppings. Place like this is my kind of playground. It gives you a chance to change things up every now and then......from the same old....same ole! On this day I came here and got a steak and jumbo shrimp bowl that was everything! The proteins were seasoned and packed with flavor. The veggies were cooked just right.....from the cabbage, carrots , pickled onions and mushroom toppings. Not to mention the portions were quite hefty....more than I can say than similar places like this that serves similar format....and we all know who I am referring to. In all, I always enjoy coming here. The customer experience and service is top notch. Not to mention, the food quality and fast has been pretty consistent and has not missed the mark! The establishment is always clean and the food stations are spotless.

I highly recommend this place, especially if you're looking for something quick and convenient. There is seating available, but they also package food very well for takeout. I'm honestly surprised this place doesn't have higher ratings. Sorry, no pics. I was hungry!
