Seafood is really good and the portions are large. Definitely try it out!!
Amazing Fish and shrimp - outstanding
The food was good. Customer service not so much. I been twice. The young lady taking your order is tad bit too rude for my liking. One time can be chopped up to a bad day. On the other hand, I was able to meet the owner on my 2nd visit who was very nice.

Make My Fish is a local neighborhood restaurant that specializes in seafood dishes. They offer a variety of options such as fried fish, shrimp, and chicken, with vegetarian sides including mac & cheese, collard greens, candied yams, and potato salad. The catfish is a notable menu item, praised as absolutely phenomenal, perfectly seasoned, and fried to perfection. The whiting is also highly rated. Prices are reasonable, but it's important to note that they only accept cash and it's a take-out spot.
The service is friendly, and customers often receive generous tasting plates of shrimp and other samples before their main dishes arrive, which adds to the positive experience. Some visitors have found the service rude, but the owner is known to be very nice. The food is consistently praised for being fresh, flavorful, and made to order, especially the fried catfish, shrimp, and mac & cheese. The presentation of dishes is beautiful, and the dishes are delivered quickly, making it a good choice for a quick, tasty meal.
Although the ambiance may not be very inviting for first-time visitors, the staff are welcoming and accommodating, even when accessibility issues occur. The location is casual, with a manual glass door at the entrance, and the atmosphere feels warm and heartwarming. The sweet tea is often noted as perfectly sweet, adding to the overall enjoyment.
Overall, Make My Fish is a highly recommended local spot for those nearby or willing to make a trip from the DMV or even from Long Island, especially for fried catfish, whiting, shrimp, and delicious sides. Parking may involve a bit of a challenge, but the friendly service and great food make it worth it.
