Pretty woman behind the counter had a nice smile. I saw a sign on the sidewalk that said clam cakes and chowder $5.99. You can't really beat that deal. So I went in and got it to go. I got the chowder cold so I could heat it up later. Clam cakes were fried so they came hot. I ate those as soon as I got home and they were delicious. You don't need to go to Ziggy's and Rhode Island. The chowder was Rhode Island style with the clear broth. So not creamy... It was pretty good but not great. At least it's lower in calories! The fresh fish looked excellent. But I didn't get any this time. I'll be back! read more

Awesome customer service. Came here looking for fresh tuna so I can make poke. His shop does not carry tuna but told me where I can go to get some. Saw them frying up some fish and I decided to try the clam sandwich. The sandwich was ok. It was a bit greasy and soggy. I'm giving them 4 stars for their customer service. I also bought some steamers and they were almost all clean of sand. They say they purge the clams before selling. read more

Higson Seafood - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

Delicious, fresh, local seafood. Surprisingly affordable. Higson's is a top tier, old school spot for seafood that you can cook at home or they'll cook it for you! I really enjoyed the scallops and the portion was very generous. Looking forward to trying even more! read more

Delicious, fresh, and the best seafood around! During Lent the wait on Friday is a little long for take out but well worth it!

The fried clams were perfect. Their Stuffed quahog delish! Customer service outstanding read more

Higson Seafood - Fried whole belly clams, chowder & stuffed quahog - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

We got a large side order of fried fish($10) and a side of shrimp($18) Fast friendly service, very fresh fish, fried in front of you, HUGE servings. My only two issues is that the batter doesn't have any flavor, would greatly benefit from some salt, pepper and paprika. And secondly they only have prepackaged tartar sauce which was terrible. read more

On our visit from California searched seafood near me. We were at battleship cove and Higson Seafood came up. The only not positive thing I can say is it's unfortunate they have no seating inside or out. But it's worth it to get your food to go and find someplace to eat it. Joe cooked all our food to order. Fish, shrimp, scallops, chicken fingers. French fries and excellent fresh battered and fried onion rings. Everything was fresh and delicious and the price and portions were more than fair. If your visiting or a local, I would highly recomend Higson Seafood. I will not deduct anything because they have no seating because Joe expressed his desire for some kind of seating, but the city will not allow it. Hope that changes in the future. read more

Without a doubt the best fresh seafood in the city. The fried seafood looks amazing and large portions

Had had fresh seafood and cooked fried clams and fish & chips from this business for 60 yrs. Best seafood market.

I have never been disappointed. Friendly staff also. I buy my haddock and scallops there. You can alo buy prepared meals.

Great value. Service impeccable. I work in the area, but it's still worth the drive of 45 minutes for their Friday specials.

Great food and prices!!! Definitely worth checking out if you are in the Fall River area!!

This place has a long history and they're famous for serving up some of the tastiest fish and chips in Fall River, MA. My sweetheart went to a Catholic all-girls school, Dominican Academy, just around the corner for 12 years and she has some great stories about all those Fridays and those fish and chips. Of course, it was a mainstay Friday event for us and then our kids over the years and I gotta tell ya', I miss it sometimes. They are unique as they use pollock fish, which is in their original recipe and serve it with fries or onion rings plus they have a fish dinner that feeds four. It's only available for takeout and you get a lovely grease-stained paper bag. Mouthwatering! Gotta love fresh fried seafood prepared right in front of you, I get that here at Blalock's. Their breading is light and airy despite the greasy bag LOL. This is not a dine-in restaurant, most of the space is retail seafood on display, with about 1/3 of the space being used for fried seafood cook while you wait. French fries wrapped separately from seafood plate items. Also a big deal for me, the seafood platter portions are very generous compared to others around and the prices are reasonable too. They also have some stuffed quahogs nice deals lobster and lobster rolls with other interesting weekly specials. Nice. As for the seafood well they have all my New England favorites, lobster, clams, bay and dry scallops, swordfish, quahogs, cod and more. (I will post an image of their selection) Bottom line: Fresh seafood, professional and friendly folks and This place is the cleanest seafood store I've ever patronized, and that's a lot. Highly recommended!! https://higsonseafoodma.com/ 917 South Main Street,  Fall River, MA 02724 (508) 678-4970 read more

Higson Seafood - My honey was just there and I am so jealous!!!!!!!!!!! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

Excellent seafood, clams sold by the quart which I like better than the pound. Very organized and clean.

The oil was hot and fresh which in turn meant the scallops and fish were cooked just right. Scallops were absolutely perfect, fish batter was light and fish was fried perfectly. Fries were surprisingly good for what they are, the girls are spot on in their fry game! Now the trick to enjoy the take out to the max. Be prepared to eat right there in your car. If you walk out the store, go straight to your car and start munching you will 100% enjoy every Pennie's worth of this meal. Bring a lemon with you and your favorite sauce along w/ a cold beer and I guarantee the food if eaten immediately will be hot and crispy. The longer you take to get it out of the paper and into your mouth the soggier your experience. You have been warned. It's a 5 star for what it is if the staff is on their game, price was good relative to the market and the main ingredients are fresh! Portions are an excellent size and value. If you don't follow my recommendation your experience will vary accordingly to the time your food spends traveling. read more

Higson Seafood - Still a healthy portion left after I smashed that plate hard while it was still hot and crispy! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

Always delicious and made fresh and the portions are always huge! Definitely recommend!

Excellent customer service! Greasy seafood and they cook it for you. I recommend anyone looking for a massive seafood platter check them out well worth the price. read more

Higson Seafood - Higson Seafood August 5, 2017 - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

No indoor seating. I wish I had know. I got clam strips and a side of clam chowder. The clam strips were delicious with a large portion. The clam chowder had a good flavor, but was more like a soup. I prefer a chowder that is thicker without chunks of potato, just creamier. I'd go here again if I lived in the area, but not a fan of take out seafood. read more

My favorite pit-stop for fresh seafood. I can pick from their fresh catch or have one of their fried specialties. With Covid-19 hanging over our lives Higson Seafood gives us a chance to be free to enjoy a meal that's hearty and healthy for the whole family. Higson's has street parking great for drop in and leave. I give them a great thank you for being heroes in this trying time and giving back our humanity for a moment. They follow CCD recommendations so your safe. On this trip I got clams for an old-fashioned Portuguese New England Clam boil! read more

Great seafood and lobster rolls with big portions. Just skip the clam cakes and chowder. Clam cakes were all batter no clams (if there were any it wasn't enough to get my attention) same goes for the chowder, all potatoes and broth, just a few tiny bits of clams. read more

Great portions, handmade onion rings made fresh, the freshest seafood, on the greasy side but that makes it so good!

Absolutely the best seafood in the city. Fresh, fast food, and friendly cooks. The clamcakes are perfect, the fish and chips are amazing and their prices cannot be beat. Their fresh seafood is beautiful, and fair prices, their staff is knowledgeable, and friendly. read more

Got clam cakes and lobster roll... clam cakes taste good but only one tiny clam in each cakes. Lobster roll is just average.

I have been ordering clam cakes from here for a couple of months having them delivered by DoorDash. They advertise Coke on their menu but sometimes send Pepsi I really wish they would make Pepsi available more often since I prefer Pepsi over Coke The clam cakes are loaded with pieces of clams and they are very tasty. read more

My GRANDFATHER showed me this place in the 1980's... and it is STILL awesome! Best service, made-to-order fried seafood, and selection of fresh fish. A New England bastion of excellence! read more

Great fresh seafood. Delicious lobster roll made fresh while you wait. Stopped in and loved it.

Hole in the wall for a large varied menu of fresh fried seafood for takeout. Also extremely fresh fish for purchase from the market side. Nice, friendly staff. Swordfish or smelts are a nice option over plain fish & chips. read more

I have been going here for YEARS!!! The food is ALWAYS delicious. The service is awesome they joke with you while you wait. The prices are well worth the amount of food you get. They are the BEST. read more

This is truly a little gem nestled on a busy street in Fall River. I'm so glad Yelp had discovered it because what a value with good quality!! I had a jam packed lobster roll all meat with mayo nothing else and French fries for $10.99. What a deal!! I will be back for sure to try the clams and fish. read more

Very fresh. Clean. Great quality. Service is very friendly. This is our go to fish market.

I've been here a handful of times, usually for fresh seafood to take home and cook, but the last time I went was for fish and chips. The fresh seafood experiences have been worth 4 stars, whereas the prepared food was only 2 stars, so I'm splitting the difference. I find prices to be very reasonable and they almost always have what I need at any time of year, which is a big plus. Service is also fine. The neighborhood is a bit dicey, but convenient. Street parking is usually not a problem. I have heard of people coming from out of the city for Higson's fish and chips, so I figured it was a sure thing. The fries were fine and the onion rings were okay, but the fish was really heavily breaded and, therefore, soggy after being wrapped and bagged up. It really upset my tummy. I will likely return for the fresh seafood selection, the fair prices, and probably to try the crab cakes, but I'll have to look elsewhere for fish and chips. Also worth a mention - When I went for the prepared food, it was a Friday evening (not during Lent, though) and was really, really busy. I was there a little over half an hour. There's no complaint or blame here, just a heads up for anyone who might be thinking they can just pop in real quick. read more

terrible dissapointment,ordered fish and chips,and asked for tartar sauce . waited a few xta minutes as they were out of tartar sauce and ketchup up front and had to get more out back in kitchen. they came back with a bunch of packets and said all set and supposely put in bag, so left and when got home they gave me just a bunch ketchup packets no tartar sauce.so ruined the supper as i dont eat the fried fish plain,i called and complained and they said you can make your own out of relish and mayo which relish we didnt have and just hung up over phone with bad customer service . i dont like to complain but such wasted supper and bad inconvenience.i had been going there for years but after this probably never again after the service and reply we got back over phone.. read more

Another 5-star review for a hole in the wall fish market with a deep frier? YEP! Higson Seafood, in my opinion is the best fried seafood in the Fall River area. That is no easy task, as just about every restaurant in the area sells fried clams and fish and chips. I got the fried seafood platter for $16.99, which includes piles of juicy, fresh fried clams, sweet and perfectly cooked fried SEA SCALLOPS (none of those rubbery, tasteless frozen bay scallops), butterflied shrimp and fried fish. The french fries were mediocre, but all of the seafood was DELICIOUS! I got some cole slaw as well, which was terrific. Higson's is just a fish market, and if you want atmosphere (or a table) don't come here. If you dont mind takeout, the portions are huge, the price is right ($2.50 fish sandwich!) and the food is hard to beat! read more

If I'm willing to stand in line for some fish and chips in frigid weather (Winter 2015 is not joke), then I guess I'd have to say that I really like this place. You get a great portion of fish and fries and the food is really good. I'll be back later in Lent for some fried shrimp and scallops. In the summer and warmer months, which can't get here any quicker, this is the place for clam boils and lobster. Great price, great portions, really clean clams. And while you are there, pick up a quahog. One quahog is more than enough for two people. read more

Had the fish and chips. The portions were big for the price of the plate. Don't mind the previous review about it being greasy. You ordered fried food of course it's greasy! The takeout food is in paper materials not styrofoam so it is not soggy. My fish and chips was excellent on this Good Friday. The stuffed quahogs were decent, but not as good as the fish. Update.. the grease got to my stomach later in the day, so don't go for you run after work without expecting a mile 4 pit stop to unlease the beast. read more

Fish and chips were extremely oily and created a huge sloppy mess. They didn't fry it long enough so the batter was undercooked. Can't understand why they serve it in a greasy messy brown paper bag, there's gotta be a better way. I disliked the batter, it completely lacked flavor. This place has potential if they'd change but I doubt that's gonna happen. read more
