Exceptional taste and service.

Bates Fish Market is a beloved fish market and restaurant that has maintained good service and flavorful seafood, despite changes in ownership. Their fried shrimp and catfish lunch meal, along with the jumbo shrimp, are highly praised for their crispy, tasty batter and well-balanced seasoning. Customers note that the batter is light and not too thick, making the shrimp juicy and flavorful. The restaurant offers in-house made tartar sauce, which is unique, and the coleslaw has hints of pineapple, adding a refreshing twist. The seafood is always fresh, and the space is clean. However, some diners have experienced inconsistencies on repeat visits, particularly with the catfish, which may not always meet expectations. While the fries are typical, they don’t detract from the overall positive dining experience. Despite some noise and smoke from the nearby barber shop, many still find the fish worth trying.
