Best seafood in town. There's seafood counter is always fresh and well stocked.

Stopped at this fish market slash restaurant in Grand Rapids. All the fish was very fresh. I bought some yellow tail snapper, some halibut, and some baby octopus. Very friendly and price was as expected for fresh seafood. The anchovies looked awesome and were a good price though I did not buy them. This is the second time I went there and it does not disappoint.

Tried their warm lobster roll and found it good. It's definitely worth trying! This is in the Downtown Market that has a great vibe to it. It's worth checking out along with the other restaurants

Definitely try the Cuban !!One of the best sandwiches in all of GR!!Fries are up there with hop cats maybe even better !!!!I will be impossible to try another establishment inside downtown market now !! Thank you !

Great fish and chips with different fish to pick from. Their Salmon Jerky is worth the money and a special trip. What a treat!

I had a hard time tracking down sushi grade fish they had it fresh and in a nice display. Seems like they’ve got some cool people work there

A little pricey but I highly recommend the perch fish & chips. I was visiting from Florida & whenever I’m in town, I try to reserve one meal for Michigan fish. The walleye is $4 cheaper & it’s probably just as good.

I went up to this guy (I’ve read the reviews and yes it’s the same one everyone is talking about) behind the counter and asked if they had any soup today. Very disagreeable, he aggressively replied, “No we don’t have any soup, we’ll only have some when we get a chance to make it SIR.” He was decidedly rude with me from the very start. So I saw another guy behind the counter and asked him if they had soup. The first guy immediately swooped back in and sarcastically yelled at me, “SEE THE HUGE SIGN RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES, WE HAVE THREE SOUPS TODAY!”Well, he messed with the wrong guy. I then turned on my sarcasm and replied, “Gee guy, you just said there wasn’t any, but now there is. Why the attitude?” Not too under his breathe he told me to eff off. I just smiled back and nodded at him. Then I ordered gumbo while my pal Debbie ordered clam chowder. I sat down at the counter and the guy stood across from me with his arms crossed.Debbie asked him why he was intentionally giving me a hard time, and he immediately lied saying I was “screaming” at him. She called him out on his lies and he only gave her a condescending look. Finally we got our soups and went upstairs to eat. He called me an a-hole as I walked away. Adding insult to injury, the food was mediocre.So I called the Grand Rapids (Christkindl) Market and spoke with the lady at the front desk, and she was great. Really asking about the incident, and to describe the jerk.Well, guess who the jerk is? He’s the manager!Obviously abusing whatever authority his position grants him. But if you’re that consistently negative/openly hostile/nasty with customers, then why are you even there?*The owner did call me personally to apologize, explaining that the guy has been warned multiple times for his rotten behavior, but like mama use to say “Never listen to what people say, WATCH what they do.” And after ALL the negative reviews, his disgusting behavior, etc. he can somehow STILL be there, then any apologies come off as obligatory at best.We still had a great time at the Market, getting great sushi, crepes, etc. But we will NEVER EVER go back to Fish Lad’s. Worst/rudest service ever. I’m in my 50s and my pal Deb’s in her 70s and we’d never been treated so poorly and with so much disrespect.AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.
Got a Crispy Chicken Sandwich. It was absolutely perfect, fish was fresh and light, slaw was delicious, fries were crispy as hell. Was really busy too. Definitely a good choice.

Pricing was overinflated an $18 tin of crab meat was sold to me for $45. I could have gone to Gordon's food service and gotten the same brand. Yikes. Buyer beware
