great place and the food is awesome. must try. the customer service is great and fast.

It's a hole in a wall place is literally falling apart but the food is good for the price. Have I had better of course but a 3pc cat fillet meal for 7.99 although they went up a dollar is still worth it if you're in the area read more

Hubby loves the fish just obsessed and shrimp fried rice !! Super fast and they prefer call in orders

It's a hole in the wall spot, but the food was fresh and really good. It is also very affordable. I would definitely go back!

Didn't meet my expectations and couldn't get an answer on how the shrimp boiled was cooked. Usually when you eat a shrimp Boil there's butter or garlic butter used with Cajun or creole seasonings like you would get at Lotus or Krab Kingz. You know the garlic dipping butter or the seafood is set up to be soaking in flavorful butter. No this shrimp boil was sitting in juice and so much salt that it actually made me sick. I got food poisoning eating from here. You get shrimp boiled in water with a ton of Cajun seasoning salt and bland spices. Never eating that again. I'll try something else on their menu but I was looking for more of a seafood with buttery dipping sauce or cooked in butter with flavor. This ain't it. read more

MVM Fish Market - Shrimp Boil with corn potato and sausage. This has no butter cooked in it. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Houston, Texas

I had a home project at Triple s steel down the street and decided to make a stop here. I am so glad I did. I ordered the number 12 which included one piece of fish, six oysters, french fries and a salad. That cost less than seven dollars (Jan 2022 prices with inflation!). This would have been much more at Boudreaux's and it taste much better than Boudreaux's. The fish was perfectly fried, not too greasy. The oysters are plump and tasted fresh. The only downside is the hole in the wall atmosphere, which does instill a little fear in you. However after walking past all the burglar bars you are met with good service. If this place were in town I would frequent it at least once a week because I love fried seafood. I was so impatient I finished half the meal while sitting in my car. read more

I chose the trout over catfish. I normally like my fish fried hard but the man taking my order advised me that trout fried hard isn't that good so I put my trust in him. He was right my fish was delicious. Not too salty or spicy. Lightly seasoned and fried to perfection. My shrimp fried rice reminded me of Asian sticky rice, it was so damn good. I picked all the shrimp out (personal preference) but it was still good as hell. I'm happy I tried MVM I normally drive all the way to SE Houston to get my fish. I guess I don't have to anymore. Round of applause MVM read more

Food 5/5 - Its what your here for. Delicious fried seafood. Dont complain they dont have organic free range tofu with gluten free bean sprouts. Its about the best simple fried fish/shrimp/oysters around. 2 Fried fish, 6 large fried shrimp and more tater tots than you could shake a stick at for $10. Suck it Long John, you got nothing on this place. Restaurant 1/5 - Old, run down, bullet proof glass. One single bathroom with that is locked and you need a key on a 2' key-chain to open the door. The place is small and dirty and just plain run down but hey the food more than makes up for the lack of ambiance. Only 4 booths/tables so dont expect to find a place to sit during rush time. read more

I'm getting sick of people like Maryam A talking down on my neighborhood. If you don't like the fact that such a great fish market is in that location then maybe you should not come there. There is nothing sketchy about the area. Stop being so damn shallow. With that said I've been eating here for 30 years and it is still fantastic....not to mention a very beautiful and courteous lady works there and make sure service is A Okay. Love love love it. read more

The food is always delicious. Burgas the Health Department reviewed this place. A lot of bleach is needed. The food is always delicious.

if you are in the hood and want some good fish/shrimp, go here. DON'T GO ON FRIDAYS-is the busiest and have to wait 4ever (customers argue with staff when waiting too long). good prices ****they do charge extra for condiments**** read more

The food is fresh and hot! Its inexpensive and made to order. My only complaint, is that the building is old and it needs remodeling. People do care how the buiding looks, inside and out! read more

Best takeout food in the hood, can't ever complain about the food or the workers here, theres a big reason why they are always busy.

Hands down this seafood is better than any fancy seafood restaurant in Houston!! I have recommended MVM too many people even when I worked for another restaurant..the staff is very friendly and they remember who their customers are and treat everyone with respect..not like many other business owners " in the hood" ..can't say enuff...just know you won't be DISAPPOINTED!! read more

My rating for this restaurant was a 4 maybe even a 5 but due to me getting food poisoning from the fish and oysters Im highly doubtful I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

I love the fried catfish and the wings are huge! They have boiled shrimp but it's the small pre cleaned kind, not a bad thing but I prefer head on.... Word of advice if you don't want to wait in this tiny place for your order, call ahead. Other than that, it's all good... read more

Just surprised this place is still standing! It is not the cleanest nicest looking restaurant, but very popular in the hood! The food is ok.... Liquor store right next door. Same owners.. read more

The surrounding area is really sketchy but the fish is made to perfection. We got fried trout and it was delicious! It's extremely busy and I can see why. It's better to take the fish to eat at home though. It gets to be too crowded. read more

Cheap food, taste great! Just not quite sure how clean this place is, worth the money spent! Hope I don't pay for this later and get sick.. fried pickles were amazing, the fried shrimp platter was tasty as well! read more

Really good catfish. Really good shrimp. Love their food smells good and reasonable prices.

Listen, y'all, ignore what the place looks like, and let these fine people fry you up some catfish (or snapper!) and shrimp. The fish is fresh and flaky, the batter is crisp without being greasy and seasoned perfectly. Plus, I had two filets, three shrimp, and a side of fries for five bucks, which is crazy-cheap. read more

I Love Mvm seafood.. The food is great and for the right price if your on a budget or not.. The ordering process on the phone OMG.. The younger lady is so rude.. No customer service skills at all.. The older man is OK. I work in the area and it's convenient.. She just need to work on her people skills.. Without customers you have no business... . read more

The food was below average. The customers were busy annoyingly soliciting others. The customer service was poor because the Lady taking orders had a Horrible Attitude. The food tasted rubbery once it cooled down, the salad was soggy, the hush puppies & bread were hard. read more
