We live on Hilton Head Island and are always looking for great places to get fresh seafood, and this seafood market definitely delivers. They have a huge selection with lots of options, and everything looked incredibly fresh. We chose the pompano and lump crab. We had the pompano tonight and it was fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We're making crab cakes with the lump crab tomorrow, so I'm already looking forward to dinner! It's great to find a market with this kind of selection and quality, especially when you live in a coastal area where fresh seafood should be easy to find. So far, we're extremely impressed and will definitely be back! read more

I really miss living a very short drive from the market. I would move back to Savannah tomorrow just to have access on Friday's and early Saturday mornings. I feel so fortunate that they ship and always very pleased when my order arrives. I love that they have a window they avoid to make sure that your fish arrives overnight fresh while eliminating the possibility that a shipper might hold your package causing the fish to spoil. That's why they normally just take orders early in the week and arrives overnight packed in dry ice. The fish is cleaned and dressed/filleted to order flawlessly without an extra charge. I loved the way the owner greets customers and helps out in the back just because. Very friendly reliable staff. I wish I could give them more stars. read more

Fresh seafood, service was good, this is my place to go for fresh fish... ambiance is always nice

BEST seafood market in the area. Wonderful fresh large offerings of LOCAL seafood. Large area with ability to see all what they have in stock. Bright large store-easy parking. The fish you want is here if not ask. Shrimp, clams, oysters! The staff is great & helpful. Give it a try--it will be your seafood store. Be aware it is not cheap. You want the best you pay a little bit more but it is so GOOD:)! read more

Very good albeit simple Southern seafood, and very fresh, given that the restaurant is owned by Savannah's most-respected seafood market (which is right next door). In the homey, nautical-themed restaurant they serve up mostly fried seafood--fish, shrimp, and I think oysters--and side dishes traditional to the region. I had fried shrimp, coleslaw, and crab chowder and the crab chowder was the best sherry-infused style crab soup I've ever had. The shrimp and hush-puppies also outstanding and the coleslaw fine. The service is prompt, cheerful, and there is enough room to eat inside or you can take it with you. Only downside is they're only open for lunch from I think around 11am to 2pm or so. And possibly not every day--I'm pretty sure not on Sunday because the fish market itself is closed on Sunday. As to the market, this is where I buy my fish including fish for sashimi and sushi and is the best I've found in town. I'm not always 100% impressed with their fish, but normally they're on top of their game. read more

Russo's Seafood - Fried shrimp with crab soup coleslaw and hush puppies - Seafood Markets Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Place is clean and staff is friendly prices are high but that's seafood for ya! Love the variety! We have been buying there a few weeks now and really enjoy it! Def one of the better seafood spots we have been to get fresh seafood to cook! read more

A "real" fish market but prices seemed shockingly high and labels for fish omit information- I didn't know the filet i purchased had skin on bottom. Good parking (has its on lot) NOTE- they no longer offer lunch read more

Came in last week for a few things and was treated horribly. Man behind the counter was rude at best. Ended up walking out after tolerating his nasty attitude, unwillingness to help, and mumbling under his breath at me. Not everyone knows the process of how to order so a little grace would be nice! Won't be back. read more

Fresh shrimp of great quality and the customer service is excellent. They peel and devein for a small fee, which is a major plus for me.

Russo's is a wonderful seafood market and my go to for fresh seafood. Their restaurant sits on the other side of the parking lot from their seafood market. This is my spot for fresh flounder, oysters (fresh shucked or burlap bags full for the oyster roast), tuna, salmon, blue crab: jumbo, lump or body meat and so much more. Additionally, they'll clean your fresh catch for a few read more

If you are looking for fresh fish this is the place that you want to go however they are showing a picture of the seafood restaurant but right next to the seafood restaurant is the fish market Russo's fish market. You pick out whatever fish it is that you want by your own hand I use a napkin I look for the clarity and the eyes as well but don't really have to do that because all their fish is fresh and I mean fresh there's shrimp they're fresh shrimp! You can sometimes see the green and blue on the tails when you see the green and blue on tails you know you have the freshest shrimp that you can get. They don't spray that spray on them it's not farm raised shrimp it is actual local caught shrimp there is a big difference in texture Bass, sheep head, flounder, red snapper, and grouper and drum are some of the fish that they carry you will enjoy they have lump crab meat , claw meat fresh and alive crawfish and muscles and oysters oh and be sure if you haven't got your oysters on yet LOL! Every month with the r letter is the best time to get your fresh oysters with that being said April is the last so get your oysters on.....lol but yes this is the place to go for your fresh fish enjoy read more

The reason I'm giving this one star is because the service was horrible. I'm a handicapped woman it was a big deal for me to get out of my car and go inside. there were two women in the front. 6 people behind the counter ..only myself and 1 other customer. one who was folding napkins. the one who is not folding napkins ignored me, even after her customer left. the one who was folding napkins was two steps from the door but did not hold the door for me. I went in to buy fresh oysters. she pointed across the (fairly large for a handicapped 70 old with just my cane, not my wheelchair.) room at the oysters .there were no prices. no information whatsoever about how many I could buy ...i.e...could I buy a dozen? excetera every single question that I asked her she went and asked someone in back room. and came back I ended up buying a peck which was $30 she said , after 3rd time I asked prices...otherwise the oysters were a dollar each when I got back I counted the oysters that was 32 oyster in there and they were mostly small or it's just not a regulation size at all. also here I am handicapped walking with a cane hardly able to walk and she did not offer to carry them to the handicap spot right outside of the door to the car. I had to ask her for that help.... it was maybe 10 steps very easy for her, extremely hard for me to deal with my cane, the door, and 30 fresh oysters was very heavy.. there were no other customers in there at the time I won't go back there are too many other places to buy fresh seafood. read more

The selection of whole fish was fresh and plentiful. I saw the Sheepshead fish that I had to have!!! They had shucked tray of oysters with cocktail sauce already to go! Hush puppies and deviled crab at 6.99 a piece. Packaged fish and shrimp was a little pricey but the whole fish was a fantastic price!! They cleaned and gutted , scaled and filleted perfect!!! No extra charge. The wait was not long!! And they put everything on ice for you!! You can't beat it!! Local clams were delicious!! Great price on them!! read more

My only complaint is that they're only open for lunch! The market next door has the best, freshest fish selection and it's prepared perfectly next door. Cute casual atmosphere , with reasonable prices and consistent results. Definitely check out the crab stew, so delicious and so much crab it's unbelievably good. The hush puppies may be the best I've had. Also, Patrick is a pleasant, professional who makes sure your food is perfect and makes you feel welcome. read more

Be careful with your purchases. Purchased 3 pounds of Stone Claw legs - Normally, they are cooked dockside but Russo's were not cooked. Did not realize it until 2 days later and had to throw out $60 as they did not smell good Spoke to the owner, and told him he was losing a customer, and it did not bother him. He said I should have realized they were not cooked. Never had a problem at the Bluffton oyster factory or the sea eagle.. read more

Great fish market, especially the shucked oysters on the half shell. This may be the only place in town for those. Skip the restaurant. Just awful, from incredibly slow service to lousy food, this despite very nice staff. read more

The most cleanest seafood market i been to in Savannah, GA. It's located on Abercorn street which runs through the entire Savannah area. It has it's own restaurant next door with a private parking lot in the middle. This establishment has all kinds of seafood, shell fish, and expensive caviar. However, their seafood is a bit pricey. A small jar of caviar runs up to $110 and over price fish. They also have fresh oysters, clams, and frozen stored seafood in fridges. This place also cleans and scrape the scales off the fish. Overall, it's a great seafood market with plenty of seafood to check out. read more

This is a serious seafood store (probably wholesale as well as retail), and presumably Russo's Restaurant sprung out of the availability of seafood from the store. This is the place to go to get fresh local seafood, whether to take home and grill, to check as baggage in TSA approved container, or to ship (air freight) to anywhere FedEx goes. We love Georgia shrimp, and got 5-lbs packed to-go for our flight back to Seattle. While fresh Alaska shrimp is popular in Seattle and very good, Georgia shrimp is sweeter, and this is the place to get it if you're traveling. They had quite a variety of fresh local fish (probably 10-species), as well as salt cod (which seemed surprisingly popular). They'll also take a fisherman's catch and clean/fillet it for you, and package it to go. The result is that this is the place the locals go either to get fish, or if they caught too much to clean themselves, to have someone else prepare the fish they caught. Such places are only found where there are active fisheries - and it's well worth a visit. read more

This fishmonger has been around and it delivers. It is a bit pricier but the items taste fresh. I was suspicious of the items that were pre-packaged but it does not suffer in flavor. A caveat of shopping for shrimp or scallops, they are pre-packaged so you can't order a specific amount. read more

What can be said other than "Off the Charts", seafood where the local folks go...baked fish or fried oysters, sweet shrimp. And order extra hush puppies. A local recommended the Deviled Crab...the real deal, not crab cakes that are considered a Maryland import. Oh, a must try Crab Soup, more like a bisque or stew. We got some to go for later it was soooo good! read more

We didn't eat at the restaurant but bought some fresh trout at their market, they had a great selection of fresh seafood and the staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely a five star establishment. read more

Russo's is a Savannah institution for a reason. They consistently offer fish, scallops, crab, and shrimp you might be able to match, but you will not find better. The freshest local shrimp and crab makes for perfect Hot Crab Dip, Low Country Boil, or whatever else you want. Since 1946, the Russo family has offered fresh local seafood. My wife's grandfather grew up in Savannah in a family that goes back in the city to the 1820s. He always insisted that buying seafood meant a trip to Russo's. Over time, I have learned how right he was. read more

This review is for the fresh market. My family frequents this market making purchases at least twice a month totaling over $100 most times. This is to show that we typically have a pleasant experience. However, the last purchase was unacceptable. A male cashier was very rude, raising his voice towards my mother. When asking to address this issue with a manager, he only made matters worse. His response was, "There's nothing I can do about his attitude." We returned on Monday to speak with Mr. Russo himself and again left feeling less than valued as a customer. When spending your money in any establishment you want to know that you are welcome and valued. You will not find that here with this particular cashier nor the manager. At least address customer concerns or have the customer feel like their voice is being heard which Mr. Russo did not. read more

Russo's Seafood - Fresh! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Wow, after spending a ton of money on the riverfront and having a bad meal, this place was an excellent recommendation from a guy at the local coffeehouse. The food here is fresh, delicious and priced a third of the price of what we paid on the river front. I had the baked flounder, seasoned perfectly which was moist and delicious! My mate had the fried oysters and shrimp which had a nicely seasoned breading and were very tender. The hush puppies were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and so tasty!! I like the idea of not having a server, paying at the register and seating yourself. My style. Save yourself a lot of money and enjoy a home made, delicious meal! read more

Russos was recommended to me by a neighbor. This is the 1st seafood place I've been in that didn't smell fishy. I bought a porgie for the 1st time. Anything that comes from the sea, they have. It's clean, the prices are reasonable and the lady that assisted me was knowledgeable about everything. They even have all the seasoning you need and even carry the old fashion stone ground grits. Next time I'll try the resturant. read more

We had an excellent local seafood lunch. We had a fried flounder sandwich and fried shrimp tacos. The Crab soup was excellent. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We will be back. read more

I stop in here on Monday & it was okay given the fact I was the only person in the store at that time . Fast forward to today and the service was horrible, why you ask well let me tell you I'm waiting to be checkout 1st the lady is on the phone I wait , she doesn't say wait sir or anything . Now here's the kicker for me & why I'll never step foot in here again while I'm still waiting a lady comes into the door straight to the counter and immediately the lady at the counter says how can I help you . Wait a minute I've been her 5 minutes and you don't even Acknowledge me , this women comes in and you're kissing her backside . After that I put my two items back & told my daughter we didn't need to spend our money in a place like this !! read more

Delicious! Fresh food and friendly people! The crab soup is a must; it's even better than the one at Vic's on the River. We were a party of 6 and got a little bit of everything: hush puppies, soup, fried fish of the day, fried shrimp, oyster poboy, crab cakes, and the shrimp salad sandwich. Everything was fantastic! Great service too. read more

This is a place owned by a local family which makes it really neat to me. We sampled fried shrimp, fried oysters, crab soup and "fries". They did not have oysters on the half shell. Oysters were "fresh", but in-last-two-days fresh. They were fried at too low of a temperature and were greasy and soggy. "Fries" were large wedges of cut potatoes that were pan seared. I wanted fries and did not care for these. Soup was pretty good, but not spectacular. Shrimp was not that-day fresh.They had no ketchup the day we went and the cocktail sauce was way watered-down with just a few specks of horseradish. The order taker was very courteous and helpful. I would not go back to this restaurant, although the seafood market may be fine. read more

Outstanding fresh seafood. I had oysters and shrimp and a cup of crab soup. All cooked the way it should be. Another thing I was the only out of state tag in the parking lot. That says it all. Enjoy! read more

This shrimp salad was awesome. My husband had the fried flounder sandwich. It was huge and delicious. Tried the crab stew and definitely will be getting that again. James and the staff was very friendly. The food came out quickly. Definitely on my list for a great place to eat. read more

This is the first time me and my co-workers had lunch there. The food was excellent. I had the devil crab plate. OMG! It was delicious. The taste took me back to when my mother would cook like that! My co-workers loved their lunch too. The prices were very reasonable. The staff was very friendly and knew everything about their menu. I will go there again the future! read more

Very casual atmosphere. You order at the front counter and they bring your food out to you. Decor is what you would expect: tall round wood tables, with photos of fishermen and the Russos, along with fish nets, etc. on the walls. Have eaten here a few times for lunch and have enjoyed it, but it is not fine dining. I had a fried fish sandwich and hush puppies and it was adequate, the fish was a thin (though fairly good sized) filet which was a little overcooked, which made it somewhat dry. The breading/ seasoning was good, but not particularly highly seasoned. (This is not a Cajun restaurant, after all.)The hush puppies were good. Others I was with enjoyed their shrimp salad, crab, etc. A good local lunch option. read more
