My boyfriend and I tried Fishmonger when it first opened, and our first visit was a bit of a miss (it was very busy and we waited about 35 minutes to be seated). But we decided to give it another chance & we're so glad we did! This time the experience was completely different. The staff was attentive and welcoming, and even without a reservation we were seated quickly. We started with oysters and loved how fresh they tasted. Everything came out quickly, and the drinks were just as good as the food. The meal itself (not pictured) was excellent. I ordered the spicy fish sandwich and it was absolutely addictive, with the perfect balance of heat and buttery flavor. There are also so many fun things to do in the area, which made it easy to turn dinner into a great night out. We'll definitely be back! read more

This is a cashless location. Credit card only. There were multiple items on the limited menu that were not available. What they did have was quite excellent and very tasty. The seating is in a very open area in this office like building. Kind of reminded me of a food court. Parking is very limited unless you pay to park. Add $9 an hour to the dinner tab. The price is not inexpensive- but we enjoyed ourselves. read more

In a word - YUM! I'm doing Dry January so ordered a zero proof cocktail, the Beach Belle, to start. Very delicious! For our appetizer, we shared the smoked fish dip. Both the dip and the bagel chips they came with were great. For my meal, I got the lobster roll with potatoes. I just love a lobster roll and this one did not disappoint! I would love to say I'll go back and try something different but honestly I'll probably just eat the lobster roll every time. Our server was great, the place had a cool vibe, and can't wait to go back. Bonus - if you have a credit card with Resy benefits, eating here activated some of my cash back for the quarter. The only thing better than a great meal is a free meal! read more

Honestly surprised how good this place is. A friend and I went for dinner at 6:30 on a Monday with a reservation. The place is a little tucked away at the Neuhoff development and the sign isn't the easiest to read. However, it's a nice place and we sat outside since the weather was nice. The service was very friendly and attentive. While the menu is very small, what we got was delicious. We got the oysters to start which came with a cocktail sauce and mignonette. I got the hot fish sandwich and it was so flavorful, fresh, crispy, and filling. Sides are à la carte and we got the broccolini with chili crisp. It wasn't the strongest part of the meal, but still very good. But the fish sandwich is the best I've had in town and would definitely come back for it. read more

Great food and love the portions! The fish sandwiches are nicely seasoned and flaky. Super fresh and tasty. Service is good with table seating and regular service. Ambiance is nicely lit and feels modern and cozy in the building plaza. 9/10 read more

Fishmonger - Blackened group sandwich (bottom) and hot fish sandwich (top) - Dive Bars Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Went in after the ice storm so it was slow but the service was 10/10. The restaurant was in a building, in an open area not hard to find once you were in there. Food was pretty tasty. I actually enjoyed the Caesar grouper more than the hot fish sandwich. The seafood chowder was good too. I don't know how often I'd go out there cause I wouldn't crave that all the time and the menu is small. read more

One of the best spots to grab seafood in Nashville! Delicious options in a fun, no-hassle environment. The staff is kind and attentive. Our favorite items we've gotten are the lobster roll, hot fish sandwich, blacked grouper, peel & eat shrimp, and fish dip. Be prepared for a massive fish sandwich and a messy but delicious meal with the shrimp. We've enjoyed every drink we've had here - whether is a cocktail, glass of orange wine or a canned cider. The FM Highball and Spritz are our go-tos read more

Fishmonger is such a fun little spot, tucked into this cool, refurbished riverside space that feels low-key but still totally high-quality. It's not the easiest spot to find, but it is the kind of place where you walk up and think, "Yep, this is going to be good." Ava, our server, was awesome. Super friendly, on top of everything, and just made the whole night easy. The cocktails were creative in the best way -- we both ordered things that we thought we would possibly not like, and yet we did. Food-wise, we loved everything we ordered. The tuna tartare was fresh and bright, the lobster roll was rich, and the blackened grouper sandwich had just the right kick. It was pretty filling, to boot. Overall, Fishmonger kinda nails it: different vibe, great drinks, great food. Definitely a casual but high-quality spot worth going out of your way for. read more

Second time eating here and even better than the first! The special- whole Branzino- was one of the best things I've had in a long time! So much flavor. It does have a lot of oil, so is filling even though it's just fish! Caesar salad is great, as is the smoked fish dip. I had the Belafonte cocktail- delicious and not too sweet, very unique. They were out of the key lime pie :( We walked right in around 7:30 on a Friday night. read more

My friend & I stopped in for lunch while out running errands. The restaurant is in the beautiful, industrial Neuhoff development. The space itself is smaller than I expected, so when they're busy, there may be a wait. It may be a challenge to find free parking, so be prepared to pay & walk a bit. Love: Blackened Grouper Sandwich (spiced just right, generous portion); mussels (delicious broth, seasoned well); key lime pie (creamy, tasty crust) Dislike: service (not attentive) read more

My Mississippi catfish sandwich was so good! I am going back for more. Also, the smoked fish dip was delicious. As well as the tuna tartare. I left very satisfied. Cute place with very nice ambiance.

I stopped in here for lunch and loved the fresh and flavorful seafood options! This restaurant is located in the Neuhoff building (no parking validation sadly) and offers a curated selection of seafood dishes and creative cocktails. The ambiance is dark and moody with vibrant neon signs and nautical accents. It's the kind of place where you can grab a seat at the bar or enjoy a laid back meal on a sunlit afternoon. I tried the caesar salad with grouper and the smoked fish dip. That salad is what would keep me coming back. It's perfectly cooked, super fresh, and full of flavor! The smoked fish dip was a great appetizer and reminded me of a charcuterie board- bagel chips, pickled onions, and banana peppers. Service was easy going and efficient, ideal for a no fuss lunch or casual dinner. For fans of quality seafood, Fishmonger is a must visit. I am looking forward to trying other menu items in the future! read more

Fishmonger! A very beautiful and vibrantly designed interior. Quick, friendly and no nonsense service. It is cashless so keep that in mind. Without further ado let's get into the food. We ordered the: [$18] Market Oysters - The oysters were great. Fresh and to the point. [$13] Chowder - The chowder was my absolute favorite thing. A thinner soup but the flavor definitely packed a punch. It had a vinegar-y essence which I loved. [$20] Hot Fish Sandwich - Huge. Very spicy. Good flavor. [$17] Gulf Shrimp Roll - I liked this but didn't love it. With the shrimp being cold about halfway through I didn't really want it anymore. I do think it was a little on the pricey side but overly good experience & I'll be back to try the mussels eventually! read more

Great service. Unique ambiance. Sadly the fish sandwich that made them famous was a bit..odd tasting to me. Bun also falls apart - they can easily find a better bun solution. Service was great and I'd go back but try something else. read more

We all liked the vibe of this place....unfortunately, IMO, they seriously need to make some changes regarding food as well as price point. We ordered a grouper sandwich and a lobster roll. The grouper sandwich was very good. However, not all the sides are complementary, and that wasn't clearly stated on menu. Also, no fries on menu to go with sandwiches. They do have bags of chips you can add for $2.00, which is odd it wouldn't just come with the sandwich. The lobster roll was a big disappointment. For $40.00(!!!) it was a small roll and lobster was chewy and not good. read more

This restaurant is in the Neuhoff District and in such a great location. It was relatively quick to get seated when I came on a Saturday for lunch. I had the Caesar salad with grouper. The fish was so moist and perfectly seasoned and went really so well with the ceasar salad. I really enjoyed it and it's made me look forward to trying more dishes here! read more

You guys!! This place is a must!! Everything we had was made to perfection! It was fresh and full of flavor! When you read the description you will be like how does this even go together but it does and it tastes amazing! We had the crab and avocado and the crab tasted so fresh, as well as the chef set oysters, they were from Alabama. Kiwi and oysters when would of ever thought! Perfection! I'm obsessed and want more! And the smoked fish dip! Yummy! The restaurant itself is super cute! It was a mazed to find but we definitely got lucky on a Saturday nite to walk right in and 2 chairs was waiting for us at the bar. Loved the area! read more

This has quickly become my new favorite cocktail bar in Germantown. Located in the new developed area of Neuhoff, this is a cozy-vibey bar with delicious food, snacks and outstanding cocktails. I highly recommend the Abuelita cocktail which is a fun spin on an Espresso Martini with Tequila that borders on a Mexican Mocha. The oysters are fresh! I recommend stopping by for drinks and food for a fun date night or with friends. The seating is limited, and at the moment it's first come first served. They have a huge waiting area so it's easy to grab a drink and wait for your table. Can't wait to go back! read more

The service was amazing! It's a cute little open shoppe with quality, fresh seafood. The oysters were incredibly fresh and refreshing to the taste. We enjoyed them so much that we ordered a second round. The blackened fish was excellent. I ordered it as a separate entrée without the sandwich, but my friends ordered the sandwich and they both really enjoyed it. The fish was clearly fresh, perfectly crunchy, well seasoned, and thankfully not dry. The cucumber salad was a delight, though it leaned a little on the sweeter side. One of my other friends ordered the soup and absolutely loved it. Overall, it was a great experience with fresh seafood and wonderful service. However, I do want to point out that the menu was limited and they were out of a couple of items when we arrived. They were easily accommodating to us, we were a larger party of 7, but the restaurant is pretty small. For the ambiance - if you've ever been to Krog Street Market or Ponce City Market in Atlanta, it gives that grab and go restaurant kind of feel. read more

What a cozy and welcome addition to the always entertaining G town food scene! I popped over to Fishmonger on a Sunday evening about an hour before they closed early due to selling out of most of their menu (for good reason!). The main purpose of my visit was to sample the heavenly cocktail The Abuelita, which is a spicy & delicious iteration of the classic espresso martini. Fellow Yelpers & besties Amanda M. & TJ M whose drink recommendations are NEVER to be ignored accurately hyped this cocktail. While holding the bar down we snacked on the smoked fish dip & shared a platter of raw oysters. I haven't eaten a raw oyster in probably 15 years & although a novice in the area, I was impressed with the freshness of what I had. I'm looking forward to an opportunity to return to eat some more of their menu offerings. Bartenders were very friendly & didn't seem to mind us hanging out while they closed up which was nice. read more

I thought all of the food here- oysters, smoked fish dip, grouper sandwich, hot fish sandwich, were absolutely fantastic and unique. I would love to see them grow into a larger space that doesn't feel like you just come upon it and could pass by it without really noticing- it's too good for that. I also really enjoyed their cocktails and N/A options- everything paired extremely well with the food and were unlike anything I've ever had before. read more

This one is exclusively for the seafood lovers. Although Fishmonger has a small menu everything we tried was so good! The bar area is colorful and modern. It is slightly hard to find since the storefront isn't on the pathway but tucked back into almost an alley. We ordered the tuna tartare as an app then ordered two more items off of their specials menu for the evening. We split a fish dish with a side of broccolini and both were tasty. We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday night but were able to get a table in this small outdoor area they have which was kind of funky. Service was a bit slow but we were not in a rush. Overall good experience and would come back. read more

This is the place for excellent service, food, ambiance and drinks!! Thank you so much Jaden and Jordan, I really enjoyed my food and especially my drink too... I was hesitant because of the aperitivo, so glad that Jordan explained to me about what makes this drink, instant new fave too! fresh squeezed lemon juice and fresh flower petals this is what I consider to be a specialty cocktail... I rate this bar experience above most places I've been this year! Just because of the freshness of the food and the care with detail makes this an above 5 star for sure!! read more

I didn't realize Monday night they only have a limited menu, so the only thing available from their normal menu is the grouper sammie and Caesar. I got the sandwich and side Caesar anyway. It's was INCREDIBLE. So so so tasty. I got it for pick up. Although I ate it within 5 minutes of picking it up, the bottom bun was basically mush. If you're doing take out, maybe see if they can put the fish on the side so the bun stays good. But regardless... it was delicious. It's also a cute place. Next time, I'll try and eat there. read more

The hot brown butter potatoes were heavenly. The perfect snap and soft on the inside pair well with the butter. I ended up deconstructing my sandwich but the grouper was flakey and seasoned well. I didn't like the layout of the restaurant because half of it is actually in the walking way of the shopping area. It felt very disconnected and a bit food court-ish. Beyond that, my waiter was friendly and helpful. I will be back. read more

I really wanted to like this place and I'm going to give it a generous 4 Stars and I'm being very generous, because I want this place to stay open. The tuna tartare wasn't very special. The crostini was a little stale and you taste everything else EXCEPT the Tuna. I think it was just lost in the sauce. The grouper sandwich that everyone talks about NEEDS some kind of Aioli or Remoulade to make it great. It's ok as is though but no one wants OK. Like I said everyone has been talking about this sandwich so I was a little disappointed. The major disappointment was the potatoes and cucumber salad. The potatoes need to be caramelized if something. Otherwise it's just mini baked potatoes, drizzled with brown butter. And I was a little irritated that I got pickles instead of a cucumber salad. Add to the fact they said they were closing at 7 even though yelp says 9. And they were out of the Crudos....i don't know if I'd go back. It's a One and Done...but if they get their act together I might go back... read more

Fishmonger Nashville is the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood. Located in the very cool new Neuhoff district in Germantown, Fishmonger packs lots a great flavors into a casual menu. The smoked fish dip is incredible -- creamy, smoky, and impossible to stop eating. The blackened grouper Caesar salad is packed with flavor and has just the right kick, and the hamachi crudo is fresh, bright, and beautifully done. And don't even think about leaving without trying the key lime pie -- easily the best I've ever had. Tart, smooth, crumbly crust, and the perfect finish to the meal. Owner Skip is awesome -- warm, welcoming, and clearly loves what he does. Fishmonger feels like a little coastal escape right in Nashville. Can't wait to go back. read more

Tucked in an open corner of the Neuhoff Building, this place may have a small interior, but the vibrant colors give it a lively, welcoming vibe. I tried the Passion of the Spritz, which had chocolate bitters, and I could definitely taste the chocolatey notes! For food, I had the Black Grouper Sandwich. Despite looking a bit charred, it didn't taste burnt at all. I also ordered the chef set oysters which were $22 (6 oysters), which is $4 pricier than the market oysters due to the creative toppings. The kiwi, oil, and citrus foam added a fun sweet and sour twist, which I wasn't expecting. It's definitely different from the usual oysters, and I appreciate the chef's innovative spin. However, in all honesty, I think I would have preferred the oysters without the toppings. read more

Insanely expensive margarita, but also the best margarita I've ever had so I think it's okay!! With tax and included tip, each marg came out to a little over $20. Yeesh! But this melon margarita with midori was PERFECT!! It was incredibly strong first of all, but you can't taste the tequila, so it is a bit dangerous, but a fun kind of a dangerous lol. It's this fun neon yellow color and comes in a glass mug. It is SO refreshing! Also fishmonger is incredibly cute inside, and feels way too cool to be in Nashville (respectfully). Would return for the marg! Great service too. read more
