    Whiting combo

    Food was made to order, therefore it was hot and fresh. Did not disappoint. Service was friendly and the food was reasonably priced.

    This is the best hole in the wall seafood restaurant!! You can buy fresh fish from here or you can order your food to go or eat in. On this trip we ordered a catfish sandwich, fried green tomatoes, fried shrimp and a catfish plate. The catfish sandwich comes with 2 nice sized pieces and cost a kit $7 dollars. I think it depends on what time of fish you get for the price of the sandwich. I asked the cashier for a menu but she said they were in the middle of revamping it. The catfish plate is $9 and it comes with 2 sides and bread. The fried green tomatoes are to die for!!! They are $3.99 and they come with about 8 (or more I didn't count) slices. They are seasoned to perfection and have the best crunch to it! If you want shrimp I recommend you get the 12 piece because the 6 piece was a small order and my nephew wanted more. If you're you're looking for fresh seafood I highly recommend this place. The parking is not so good, but the food makes up for that!

    Ok... I went back. I'm still going to give 4 stars because the sides weren't amazing. I didn't like the slaw at all...& the fries are just fries‍. Y'all! (Its a southern thing)... that fish though?!? SO SO GOOD. If I had taken a picture of the aftermath it would've just been embarrassing. It was seasoned well, and fried to perfection. I went during my lunch hour again but this time ordered when I got there instead of calling ahead. So, I would suggest doing that if you can. I had the whole whiting this time and I probably won't stray away from that next time, but, I'll try another side.. maybe okra? We'll see...

    I'm originally from California and the fish I grew up on was Red Snapper and Perch. River Fish Market is the only place I've seen in my 18 years of living in Alabama that carries it. The fish was off the charts amazing. The staff were sweet as pie. I will become a regular.

    Called my order in and still had to wait about 45 min before I got my food but I must say the wait was somewhat worth it

    Does River Fish Market have fresh shrimp?

    Yes, they do. It might be best for you to call before you drive there just to make sure they haven't run out.

    Fried fish Fridays really should be a thing!! I'm always on the hunt for a good fried fish…read moreplate, so I decided to give here a try. Upon entering, I immediately noticed a smell. It was most likely that fresh seafood smell gone bad. I don't know. Since this was my first time here , I decided to order my go to. Whitening plate with 2 sides. The plate was a generous amount of food. I didn't even eat it all! Fish was fried nicely but lacked in taste overall. It was missing something. I hated the fries. They appeared to be freshly cut potatoes but lacked seasoning and the hush puppies were just ok. 4.5/10 Service was straightforward. Nothing overly exceptional. I was impressed with the variety of fresh seafood offered. I think this would be a good option if you wanted to just grab and go! I may go this route the next time I'm in the mood for some seafood.

    STAY AWAY AT ALL COST…read more The worse place. They have fresh fish with TERRIBLE ATTITUDES. I came here 3 times. 1st time was good only because they were busy. 2nd the GUY WITH PONY TAIL was EATING had food on his lips wiped it off with his hands and didn't clean them before trying to serve me and pick up my catfish. He also saw I was in a hurry and gave me BURNED okra and catfish that was cold. Tried to give the benifit of the doubt before leaving this review, but I came today and the owner with glasses was EXTREMELY rude. I spoke with him nicely and directly aside about the incident of the food being burned and who did it and he took offence. Didn't want to cook just because I asked if he could please make sure I get fresh okra as the last time it was over cooked. I said it's not bad but it's just his partner or employee made a mistake and it was a TERRIBLE experience as I couldn't eat it and there's the food away but he was angry and side buy to fool at home since we can't cook. STAY AWAY AT ALL COST

    We came here for a date night before a concert. Parking was a little hectic, so we parked nearby…read moreand walked over. The place was crowded, but we were seated quickly. The waitress checked on us frequently. Their menu is huge and has something for everyone. They didn't have my first request, but I got the pesto pasta with shrimp as my second choice and it was very good. I liked the oysters, but the ones we tried were very spinach forward, and if you aren't a fan of that, you may not like these. Next time we'll try the other oyster types they have. I'm surprised I had never made it out here before. I will definitely come back - but not with the kids. They have some great lunch specials as well.

    We must eaten there on a bad night all around because our review doesn't reflect what everyone else…read moreseemed to experience! We were seated promptly handed menus and about 30 seconds later approached by the waitress for drink orders. We asked for a drink menu as there was nothing to advertise what drinks they were serving. She returned with 1 drink menu for all 3 of us and stood there waiting until we decided. We asked for some time so she left and returned about 2 mins later. We ordered drinks and she returned 2 mins later to take our food order. We ordered appetizers, salad and main courses. The drinks came quickly, the salads came right after and then about 3 mins later, the appetizers came out. 3 mins after that, the main courses arrived so we had plates stacked everywhere on the table and quickly tried to finish our salads and appetizers before the main dish got cold. The waitress never returned to the table until she brought the bill. The plates were all cleared by someone else. We saw her leave a bill at the table next to us and wait until they checked it over and figured out a payment method, so when she arrived at our table we just handed her a credit card. The food was average but the overall experience was terrible. I realize she was probably new and this may have been her first night but some training would go a long way! For $180 dinner, we expected a lot more.
