   The fish market is great! Went there with a group and really loved it - we shared the grouper appetizer and it was terrific. I had the paella and enjoyed it, but it was a little bit too saffron-y for my taste.

   There are few places I would say that I will never return but this is one I can say I will never return. Food marginal, noise and atmosphere are not welcoming. Save your money and find another location.

   The food was great. I did request a table that was far from the kitchen and bathrooms. We were seated very near to both.

   The hostess and servers were very friendly and attentive. I had the whole snapper grilled and it was delicious! I will definitely come again soon.

   Tried multiple fish dishes. We asked for the food not to seasoned and without salt. Despite that request, the crab claws and the octopus were highly seasoned and salty. The octopus was overcooked and rubbery. The lobster was excellent and the grilled platter with grouper, shrimp, scallops and oysters was good. The waitress was very nice and friendly.

   Gumbo was good but all other Food was bland. Manager was rude. Worst seafood ever.

   So the clam chowder to start with was good and that’s where the positive ends. My husband and I both ended up ordering shrimp and grits and apparently that was our mistake. Shrimp were mildly undercooked. But the worst was the very first shrimp my husband tasted was bad. He didn’t take a bite of anything else because it completely ruined his stomach. My shrimp weren’t bad but the dish was just eh. And the sides weren’t much better. I ended up calling it quits just a few bites into my meal too. They did take my husbands meal off the check which was most definitely appropriate but we will never return and I would recommend avoiding this joint if I were you.
