About this business
Located downtown near the University of Alabama-Birmingham and its medical center, the Fish Market is the cheapest and possibly the best seafood restaurant in Birmingham. The owners are from Greece, so the self-service dining area is decorated with Greek photos and artwork. There is a small grocery area and of course, a fish market. The food is fresh, and the portions large. Be prepared for a crowd at any given time; this place is an unbeatable value and that's a well-known fact.

I've been to the fish market twice and BOTH times I've had a terrible experience. Once was dining in and the other was take out. The first time we dined in and it wasn't even 12 o'clock. It was like brunch and it took 30 mins to get our food. Then the food wasn't even right on someone's plate and the waiter was completely rude about it. Then today I went in for take out and it was pouring outside. Of course I ran inside to get my food and was soaking wet. Up walked this gentleman also drenched and was asking a man with his e... read more

Ms. Hunt, this is George Sarris and I own the Fish Market on Southside. I am so sorry to hear of your experiences. We do always want to know when our customers are not satisfied so that we have the opportunity to do better. I wish that you had reported the first visit you made to a manager and given us the opportunity to correct the situation then. I assure you, one of our manaagers would have stepped in to handle this, or myself if I had been there. As for your visit the other day in the pouring down rain, it sounds like it... read more

Thank you Jessica!
I have not been to The Fish Market in a long time, but tonight's dinner was terrible. The cost has increased but the quality and quantity of food has decreased. I ordered a seafood platter with double oysters. I received 2 pieces of tilapia, 4 oysters, 2 and half shrimps and 3 over cooked hush puppies. My daughter order the same platter and got the same thing. The fish looked like it had been fried in old dark oil and the shrimps looked like the small bag you buy out of the grocery store. Needless to say this was our last ti... read more
All ways good service and food. Like to sit at the bar. This time had oysters on the half sell and the chipinno, with a bloody mary. The bar tender Chistine was awesome
My food was cold. They ran out of john's slaw. The service was very slow. I will not use full service again. Usually when placing an order in line the food is hot and is served promptly.
I have been to this location a couple of times and each time there was some type of issue. Usually involving the rude cashier when you place an order. And it wasn't made any better by receiving rock hard hush puppies, soggy fried okra, and bland cabbage with my meal. The 280 location is MUCH better and are also more accommodating to customers.
