    Went St. Paul's Fish Market for lunch. As always their food does not disappoint. Both my wife and I had the Lobster Rolls. So delicious! Glad we got there before the lunch rush as we were seated right away. When we left about 35 mins later it was packed with a wait. Actually anytime I go there it's a wait. We were surprised we got seated right away. Great place, great food!

    By far the best and fresh seafood I have experienced in Milwaukee! Loved every bite of my generously filled lobster roll. Fresh and delicious Walleye was another gem. Not greasy or over breaded. My son order grilled shrimp taco and he graded them A+. Overall great experience!!!

    We had an amazing experience during our first visit! The service was very friendly and high quality; the food was delicious and perfectly made! We got grouper cheeks, Jamaican jerk swordfish sandwich and the lobster roll. Everything was great! Recommend coming here.

    Oh my deliciousness yummy yummy yumminess the service excellent, food excellent, vibes excellent and parking was a great day. I had crab cake, shrimp cocktail, cod dinner and shared shrimp dinner. Everyone loved their food. I love that I can get a fish dinner on any day of the week. Weekdays are easier than Friday night. Highly recommended! Off street meter parking. Bar outside and inside yes go meet some friends and enjoy!

    Wonderful place to go for some good fish. There's so many options, from fish to crab to lobster. I had the grilled Swordfish with the butter dip. Absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. My wife had the cod fish fry. The fillets were thick and flaky, and the batter wasn't too greasy. I would definitely check this place out.

    Excellent food! My parents took us here while we were visiting. We ordered: crab cakes, lobster bisque, oysters, steamed clams, calamari and king crab legs. The seafood was all super fresh and delicious. Service was good. This place was pretty busy for being a week day so I imagine weekends are generally slammed. Can’t say I am surprised!

    Great food! The staff/patrons were all friendly, and the fact that people got to bring their dogs was a huge plus. Excellent seafood choices. Return trips will definitely be had.

    Great stop in downtown Milwaukee. The Public Market is a great place regardless but St. Paul Fish Market may be it's best spot. This picture is the Bloody Mary. They asked if I wanted lobster. I said "Of course." Great daily specials on very fresh seafood. I've had the oysters there several times and am always impressed with the freshness, especially when Milwaukee is so far from an ocean. Tons of other great food options in the market as well.

    This is my 2nd visit to St Paul, and the experience as a tourist was cool. The fresh seafood selection is top tier. Upon arriving, we were promptly seated and the wait staff was quick and friendly. We arrived right before the lunch crowd and ordered a variety of oysters on the half shell, along with the shrimp and sausage gumbo for starters. What a great choice! The oysters were mouth watering delicious!! For lunch we decided on the fish tacos, and the fried jumbo shrimp! The tacos were a hit and the fried shrimp was incredibly fresh and fried perfectly!! I will definitely recommend them to others.

    Excellent location and really good food. This shop is housed in a bigger public market, which is just really neat. There’s fresh fish, a full menu, and a fair amount of indoor and outdoor seating. I was happy to order some clam strips, a lobster roll, and enjoy the benches in the sun. Overall, fair prices and it was fast to get and out with lunch. Highly recommend.

    Knew we had to stop at a seafood place while we were in Milwaukee, so happy we found this place! I got the fried calamari and the cajun swordfish sandwich and they were amazing. Our waiter was Patrick and he was very nice and attentive. Perfect crunchy breading on the calamari and the sandwich was SO juicy and tender. 2 drinks, 1 appetizer and 2 meals totaled us $65.

    Wonderful lobster roll place with steam mussels and New England clam chowder. The food was tasty and we wanted more lobster roll and mussels. We love the atmosphere and the fast service! Definitely we want to come again if we ever take a roll trip again passing by Milwaukee.

    A great spot in the market to get some seafood. The oysters were $1.50-1.75 each and pretty good. The Bloody Mary with salmon crack was delicious. Definitely recommend eating here!

  • 5/5 Chris N. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely brilliant. The food is very good and the prices are great especially considering the quality. There's a huge choice on the menu but it would be a crime to let the lobster roll pass you by, it's superb served on a very good toasted brioche bread with a very generous amount of lobster stuffed in. The oysters are also really good

    Fresh Fast Tasty Reasonable price. Really good grilled seabass with fruits salad. Light and clean taste. One of the best crab cake. Meaty excellent seasoning and perfect cook. Fast and friendly service as well.

    I recently visited this seafood restaurant that had decent food but a long wait time. Despite the wait, the food was worth it - the seafood was fresh and well-prepared, with a variety of options to choose from. The restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere. However, the long wait time was a bit frustrating. It took a while to be seated, and even longer for our food to arrive. This could be due to the restaurant's popularity and being in a market place but it was still a drawback to the overall dining experience. Despite the wait, I would still recommend this seafood place for the quality of the food. Just be prepared to wait a bit longer than usual and plan accordingly.

    This is a lively place and we could taste lobster rolls at a reasonable price. The cod fry tasted just as expected, and it was also delicious. The waitress was sweet. The dust on the decorations on the wall was a bit of a bummer for us to have the perfect meal.

    It's a fantastic restaurant at the Milwaukee Public Market. We had the oyster shooters, fried calamari, a New England clam chowder bowl, and cod fry with French fries. All were delicious. The service was superb.

    Very limited space. Always got to waiting for a table. The lobster roll and the steamed mussels are signature. The fish fry was ok. I like the raw oyster on shell over the oyster shooters. The shooter comes with a beer chaser. It used to cost $20 per person for a meal, now it costs $40.

    Phenomenal food! Small place with only a few tables… we went later in the night on a week night and got seated rather quick (I have seen the line get nuts on weekends). Bouillabaisse was absolutely incredible! Would drive back to Milwaukee just for it! Broth is delicious and they do an excellent job of giving you lots of dipping bread. Fish dishes were also excellent. Got the fried grouper and the pan fried walleye. If I could only pick one… I would pick the walleye. Highly recommend!

    The staff worked as a well oiled machine while being super nice. The decor made the atmosphere amazing combined with the music selections. Then the apps and food were absolutely the best seafood that I’ve ever had in Wisconsin. Honestly can’t say enough good things about this establishment.

    We ordered three dishes: Oyster platter, st. paul bouillabaisse, and Lobster roll. Overall the food was delicious. The price is considered not too expensive. The oysters were so fresh, I ate 30 of them 😂 I'll definitely go back to eat them again if I have a chance.
