Was looking for some affordable local flavors. This was a cool spot. AMBIANCE: Parking: Street parking for the most part, typical for this part of town. Seating: Indoor seating with room for about 20 people inside the market. Vibes: You're right in the heart of Old Town / Fells Point -- the touristy but charming part of Baltimore. I dig the vintage brick roads, the historic feel, and the mix of locals and visitors passing through. The space sits inside a lively market (1640 Aliceanna St) with that true Baltimore seafood vibe -- casual, approachable, and full of movement. It's not fine dining; it's flavor-first, no-nonsense, and welcoming. Great for a quick grab-and-go or to sit down for a casual meal. FOOD/DRINKS: Crab Soup (A-Ok) Simple but hearty. It reminded me of a tomato-based soup with crab mixed in -- nothing too fancy, but warm and satisfying. I appreciated the richness and good amount of crab meat. I'm more of a clam chowder fan, so next time I might go that route, but this was still solid. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Quick, friendly, and efficient. The staff clearly know what they're doing and keep things moving without losing that personal touch. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Good prices, solid flavors, and a classic Baltimore seafood feel. Sal and Son's Seafood isn't flashy, but it's genuine -- a go-to for a comforting bowl and a true local experience. I'll be back to try their other dishes next time I'm in the area. TIPS: * Check what's on special -- they rotate and have plenty of combo options. read more

Sal and Sons - Woooo! - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The food at Sal and Sons is very good. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because our fries were cold. It's probably because one meal was simple (crab cake sandwich, fries), and the other may have taken longer to cook to order (shrimp and chicken jambalaya). Otherwise, we were absolutely satisfied with the food. The crab cake sandwich was on point. The creamy crab soup was flavorful, creamy, and worth every bite. The shrimp and chicken jambalaya was also executed well. Also, I highly recommend trying the fresh fruit drinks. We got watermelon and pineapple, and "refreshing" doesn't begin to describe how good they were. The service was straightforward and to the point, which works for me. The establishment is located inside of a market. We went on a Sunday, so this was one of the few eateries open. I'm imagining that it is probably more jumping on other days. If I'm in Baltimore again, I'll definitely consider visiting again and exploring more of the menu. read more

Fresh and delicious! On a recent visit to Broadway market I stopped by for some fresh clams. For 12 buck you got a half dozen medium neck clams. The clams were plump and fresh. Just the briny taste I was craving. Also while here I noticed they served tacos. I ordered 3 carne asada tacos. Meat was ample and the flavor was on point. Shoutout to bus guy who suggested i mixed the green sauce included with one of their hot sauces they have there. Service was pretty fast. Ambiance is standard food hall. I'd visit again for more fresh seafood and tacos! read more

I decided to try the catfish sandwich and fries. It was just ok for me. I asked for no tomato but received one. And maybe next time I would request fried onions and not raw. I did make them aware of the mistake... and the cashier was apologetic. read more

Tried out the catfish sandwich and the crab rolls. Both were fried and not too oily which I enjoyed. I really liked the aioli that came with the rolls to the point I poured It on my fish sandwich. The fresh onions can be a bit much so you may want them to add less. Catfish was crispy and juicy too. read more

I found this food market online after another foodie raved about Sal & Sons' fish sandwiches--so of course, I had to try one for myself! When we arrived, the guy with the dimples greeted us with the warmest smile and so much patience as we tried to figure out what we wanted. He and his coworkers were super friendly, chatting with us while making sure every customer felt welcomed. I even noticed how kind they were to everyone else--yes, I was being a little nosey . Here's the funny part: we didn't realize we were talking to the owner at first! He was chatting nearby, so we asked him to clean off a table for us--then someone said, "That's Sal!" I laughed and said, "Sal, I've been calling your name for five minutes and you didn't come!" He smiled, sat down, and talked with us for a few minutes like we'd known him forever. He was serving food, cleaning tables, and interacting with everyone--just so humble and down-to-earth. I loved that energy. Now let's talk about the food... AMAZING. My fish sandwich was fried to perfection--so good I couldn't even finish it and had to take the rest home. My friend loved her rockfish, and my other friend went in on her red snapper (and still had plenty left for later). The market itself was spotless and didn't have that typical "fish market" smell, which was a big plus. I'll definitely be back! read more

We had this delivered by DoorDash under Sals Seafood Broadway Market. I had been wanting a Crab cake while visiting and had researched quite a few places. This place had good reviews with prices nearly half of other locations. The Crab Cake did not disappoint! We got the sandwhich with tartar sauce. It was SO GOOD! I would totally get this sandwhich again. Right amount of crab with coating (We got fried). read more

Seriously, I don't understand why this place is averaging a 4 star rating. This place blew me away in the best way possible. The worker was very patient when taking our order even when we had a little conversation between ordering. The food came out within 10 minutes and I believe the manager came out to make sure we enjoyed our food. The crab dip + chips could've been warmer. But there's no doubt that the presentation and TASTE will knock your socks off. I would come back again and again! Not too salty. The chips were loaded. The fries might not look like much but the sweet potato fries were actually so good. Not a gross, soggy type. It was 8/10. The Mac n cheese + crab was out of this world! So much flavor with the cheese and crab combo. Noodles were cooked properly and soft. I'd say the ambiance is like any market. Not quiet but not too noisy. I overheard some lady say that there wasn't enough salt in her food which surprised me. But I genuinely thought the food was superb !!! Will definitely come back here to show my friends. read more

I stopped by here a couple of Saturdays ago with my wife and twins for lunch. Since my wife likes seafood, we looked for a seafood restaurant in Fell's Point on Yelp and happened to find Sal and Sons. This restaurant is located in the Broadway Market, a type of food hall. As such, Sal & Sons is set up more like a food stall with some high-top seating, while there are plenty of standard tables throughout the market. For lunch that day, I decided to go with a fried oyster sandwich, while my wife chose the crab mac and cheese. We also decided to share the Maryland fries and ordered a cheese quesadilla for our kids. I tried the fried oyster sandwich first and thought it was fantastic. The brioche bun was toasted, buttery, and soft, while the fried oysters were super crispy and flavorful. The lettuce and onions added a nice freshness to what was otherwise a rich sandwich. Next, I tried the Maryland fries. The fries themselves were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The flavor was good overall, with a strong garlic presence. What I didn't taste, however, was any Old Bay, which is odd considering that's what I assumed made them "Maryland fries." Honestly, I think they forgot it. My wife enjoyed her crab mac and cheese and was impressed with the amount of crab in it. Last but certainly not least, the quesadilla was nicely cooked and both of our kids enjoyed it. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Everything we had here was fantastic and I would love to try more of their menu. read more

So I am doing work right across the street and decided to have a quick lunch break today! I'd been pressed to see what types of food were inside this food hub! Walked to the rear and locked in on this spot! I ordered Salmon tacos since i wasnt trying to stay long or eat too much..I still had work to do! But I did add beans and rice to my order and it was pretty good!! The food came out really fast too! The place was clean, the servers were nice and attentive which is always a plus! I'd definitely return if I'm in the area again! I always amazing intrigued by foods that don't have a whole lot going on with the aesthetics or plating but taste phenomenal!!! Try it! read more

Went there after Fells Point Fest. They were out of snapper as a few people ahead of me asked for it and I overheard and it sounds like you need to call ahead for it? Anyways I got the jambalaya. It was really tasty and portion was good but if its supposed to be shrimp and chicken jambalaya, I expect more than 3 pieces of shrimp. Docking a star for that. I also shared some clams with my boyfriend and it was fresh; the horseradish they use really has a good kick to it. While its tucked away inside the market its a place to check out even though the Choptank is directly across from it. read more

Located inside Broadway Market. This is a good and convenient seafood place to grab lunch. I've been here a few times and each time, I've tried something different. The food quality varies depending what you get. Their crabcake is decent for the price and their fried dishes can get a bit too fried in my opinion. I recently came here for the steamed shrimp and fried seafood platter. The platter was large but most everything looked and tasted overly fried. The steamed shrimp was quite good and there were plenty of large pieces. The workers here are friendly and great. Prices overall are pretty good. This is a really good spot for lunches! read more

First time here, brilliant! Second time not so much. They didn't seem that busy (Sunday) but the food took long and I think the oil needs to be changed as the chips were more brown than golden and the fish batter was super oily. I was starving so still ate but likely not rushing back. My teen opted for the Thai food nearby which looked great and may be a spot to consider. It was quieter than a Saturday which was nice. read more

Food was absolutely delicious! The seafood was very fresh. We got: - soft shell crab sandwich (daily special): crab was made perfectly! FYI: It came on toasts. - rockfish fillet: accompanied by a lot of vegetables. The Cajun spice was great. - lemonade: a bit too sweet but is very refreshing. Overall, this place deserves its high reviews. The service is efficient. The store is is a food stall that is located inside an indoor food market, so it's a casual place. read more

Tried this place for the first time today. Excellent prices, incredible customer service, food was tasty!

Excellent casual seafood spot by Fells Point. It's nice to have a place like this to order fresh seafood over spending a fortune at a high-end restaurant. Many locals were here ordering takeout combos of fish, fries, and a drink. I skipped the fries and focused on eating seafood that is hard to get in my hometown without going to a fancy restaurant. I ordered one fried crabcake, raw oysters, and a refreshing aqua de pina drink. Everything is reasonably priced, local, and fresh. A half dozen oysters cost $12. They are large and fresh, served with cocktail sauce. The crabcake was delicious. Very meaty and nicely crisp on the outside. Fells Point is a touristy spot, but Sal and Sons doesn't feel like another overpriced tourist trap. The food and service and top-notch and is popular with the locals. Worth stopping by for a delicious, reasonably-priced meal. read more

Located in the Broadway Market in Fells Point, Sal and Sons is a winner. Order at the cashier and sit at the counter. Watch your order being prepared fresh in front of you. We saw our crab dip prepared stove top, our crab cake being broiled, and heard the sizzle of our fries. We even saw the Maryland Crab Soup being prepared and I asked for a taste. Very tomatoey but good. Everything was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the crab cake and the Maryland Fries (with garlic & old bay!) We were the only ones there at about 3pm so the service was super fast. Not sure how it would be at busier times. Definitely a place to keep on our radar. read more

Sal and Sons - Clam Chowder - Seafood Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Sal and Sons were a delight to dine in. Located in a food Market, Sal and sons offer casual yet solid seafood options. We opted for the fried crab cake with cajun fries and the grilled shrimp and scallops with veggies. The jumbo crab cakes were loaded with chunky crab meat. The texture and flavors were good especially paired with the Tatar sauce. The fries was underwhelming, though. The grilled shrimp and scallops were *bouncy* and incredibly fresh. Service was fast and people were cordial. We also tried their fresh oysters with their homemade horseradish. Their horseradish were super strong and punchy, but that's what you need to give the oysters a little kick, right? The oysters were fresh, bouncy and delicious, although one of them were pretty sandy. read more

This is my first time stopping here since the market was renovated. I only come down here to go drinking at local pubs but today I was hungry and I walked into the market and walked and found the Sal and Sons. The signage says they have been associated with the market a long time. This is great because I use to go to the local market as a kid to the fish stalls and seeing all the fresh fish and crabs. They have fresh fish daily. I like that. You can't get fresh fish in Baltimore from a local anymore. I looked at the menu and they had a special of BBQ half slab of ribs and I ordered it. They also had oysters and I ordered them as well. All fresh. The oysters were prepared as a fritter on a bed of romaine lettuce with a lime wedge on the side. The were delicious. Golden brown. Light battered so you can taste the oysters. Not quite like Mom's but good enough to pass for me. Second item was the half rack of BBQ ribs that were served on a bed of seasoned fries. The fries were hand cut, they were not bad at all. The ribs had me a little concerned. The ribs were spare ribs and meaty yes (4 bones) but were just one note. I did not see a BBQ rig outside nor did I see a pit master so these ribs had to be prepared by another method such as boiling them in water or oven I think they were boiling method because the ribs had no flavor at all. Boiling water brings nothing to the flavor profile of the ribs. No taste of wood smoke in the flavor of the meat nothing but the tomato BBQ sauce. This tells me that this was just boiled ribs and put some BBQ sauce on it and we call it a day. Money please. No if you advertise BBQ and you put this on the table I'm gonna call you out on it. Chef Ramsey would have thrown the plate of food out the window. I love the location. New upscale area. Clean with security coming by every few minutes to make sure all is quiet. I will recommend the place. They clean up the table after you leave and they keep the tables clean. Fresh fish too and they can do it to go as well. Cheers!!!!! read more

Tried to come in over an hour before closing, staff was sitting around and chatting while I waited at the counter patiently. I wasn't acknowledged once, not even when a line of potential patrons began waiting with me. It took someone in line speaking up for finally one of the staff to respond from where they were sitting that they weren't open. Unfortunate since this place looked good, but there are plenty of other places to get seafood in Baltimore. read more
