    Holly Fish 🐠! This place is great!! Not only they have great food to go, which we took frequently 😊 But they also have fantastic fresh variety of seafood to buy and cook to your liking at home. We took huge advantage of this option during Covid time 😷 If you can eat here or just buy food to go - get the fish chips and coleslaw!! So good with anything you order!! Yummm 😋 They can fry the seafood, grill or have Cajun style, anything you want any way you want. !! So delicious 🤤

    Had a great lunch here. Fish tacos are prepared as they should be. Fast service and food came out piping hot. They offer a nice selection of lunch menu options for $11.95. They also have a good selection of bottled beers. I would definitely come back again!

    Fisherman’s Market and Grill does a great job on preparing their fish. Their is no seasoning on the broccoli, the fried sweet potatoes were great the rice was good, the slaw was a little soupy just a bit too much mayo for me. I thought the clam chowder was ok not great. The price for a little cup was over $11 not worth it in my opinion. I will definitely go back. Fisherman’s Market is located just left in the corner of Trader Joe’s.

    Maybe the best fish tacos I've ever had. Grilled to perfection - and the house taco sauce is outstanding. (I was told the catfish was great too.)

    What a gem of a place! This place is worth going to! The restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. When placing your order let them know it’s your first time and they will make great suggestions. I order what they are know for which is the Baja Fish Tacos, and they give you a choice of fried or grilled. The flavorful grilled fish was balanced by the cabbage slaw sauce. The coleslaw was perfect in flavor. A definite visit back when I’m in town.

    Great lunch specials, really I would recommend getting the shrimp tacos with a side Cesar. Cause if you get the shrimp Cesar it’s the same size as a side salads. The fish tacos are awesome too! But, this is an amazing restaurant with great people working the place. Food is amazing and worth the prices for great seafood in the middle of the desert!

    Another delicious, rustic visit! I'm so hooked on the fried oysters, but tried my friend's seared jumbo scallops and next time... This is not fine dining which makes it fun and relaxed.

    We ordered the Hawaiian combo, grilled codfish tacos, calamari, and clam chowder. The tacos, calamari, and clam chowder were very good. The Hawaiian combo had a mixed review. My companion didn't care for the flavor of teriyaki sauce. I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce as well as the salmon, but we both felt like the Mahi Mahi and shrimp were overcooked. Service was very good and appreciated. If we are in the area, we would definitely return to try other items on the menu.

    We went there for lunch and it was great. We both ordered the lunch Salmon Ceasar Salad with iced tea. The food was quickly brought to our table. The salmon was right off the grill and was cooked perfectly. Great place for lunch. They have a café-type place in front for casual dining but they have a dining room where you can be served. Plenty of parking. Great music. Great staff. Looking forward to coming back soon!

    A casual seafood grill located in a corner near Trader Joe's. It offers a very good selection of seafood freshly grilled, or fried served simply with rice, fries, and slaw. The Cajun catfish and lightly breaded sand dabs were cooked perfectly. The oysters were a bit heavy on batter but nice and fresh. They also offer reasonably priced wine, beer and cocktails. A Mon to Thurs 3 to 5:30 offers a full meal for $13.95 with selections of strip steak and various fish like rainbow trout and catfish. Fast friendly service.

    So yummy! This was our first time at the Palm Desert location but it's just as good as the one in Palm Springs. This location is much easier to park and that's definitely a positive! This time I tried the grilled halibut tacos which were delicious. My husband went for lighter fare and got the Lifeboat grilled mahi-mahi plate. My son always gets the ahi tuna tacos, which never disappoint. The only bummer is that they don't have the fountain natural sodas that they offer at the Palm Springs location.

    As someone from Florida it's a bit upsetting to find better fish in the desert than some places in my own backyard. I was skeptical but the reviews looked good and I'm so glad we did 💙 Good seating though you have to order at a counter and have the food brought to you. This wasn't an issue but I imagine it could be when busy. Went on a Tuesday around 6pm looked like a lot of older patrons gather for the early bird special. Between two people we split the fishermans basket and cajun swordfish sliders. It was a lot of food but we're hungry tourist so it worked out well. The swordfish was rather good but the basket was better. I especially liked the cod and scallops. I imagine their fish n chips dinner is a very good choice. Reminded me of San Francisco fishermans warf.

    Really like this local fish market. I have to say, though, they need to do a deep cleaning of their counter and take away area. It is so greasy and dirty on and around the cash register and window case. People standing around a visiting with each other behind the counter. Back in my day as a restaurant worker the adage was “if you have time to lean, you have time to clean.” I then took a better look at the cooking area behind the counter and what I saw gave me pause. I don’t think I will be eating from their kitchen or restaurant any time soon. Only reason gave three stars was for product quality and I appreciated the service of the staff. Leadership needs to get involved and wear some white gloves. Nice folks, but get to work!

    A lot of people like this place but we like the freshest fish. This time, the grilled sea bass had a slight ammonia smell. The jumbo shrimp cocktail was 3 semi jumbo plus several small shrimps..and jumbo looked mangled and thrashed.. The oysters were tiny and dry.The salmon and chips were good. Been here plenty of times ( the one in Banning was great but now closed) seems to get worse each time, unfortunately. What's up??

    Ordered for the first time last night. I work very close to this restaurant and smell it every night, couldn’t wait to try it. I definitely liked it but didn’t love it 😩 I ordered the fisherman’s boat with fisherman’s chips and a Caesar salad. I have to say the calamari was the worst I’ve ever had in my life. It felt like all I was eating were the crunchy pieces from the bottom of the basket. Super disappointed. The salad was basically half of a lettuce head with a few croutons. I wouldn’t order those 2 things again. EVERYTHING else in the meal was great. Flavorful and the portions were filling. That meal costs about $33. My husband got the cod/shrimp meal with fisherman’s chips and coleslaw. He said the coleslaw was very dry and had no flavor. Other than that he said his meal was great and filling. His meal was about $22. The tartar sauce is really good. I ordered online- easy and quick. My food was piping hot and ready at exactly my pickup time. We will eat here again just choose our sides differently I guess.

    Outstanding meal here. I had the shrimp tacos. The staff does an amazing job of describing anything on the menu and the ambiance is very cool. Can’t wait to come back!

  • 5/5 Michelle Van D. 2 years ago on Google
    My husband loves this restaurant and took me to it when we were in the area. The menu is all fresh fish, grilled, battered or Cajun. I couldn't decide on the fish tacos or the shrimp tacos. The server taking our order said that they were still a little slow, so they gave me one of each, battered. SO yummy! If I do it again, I'll do the shrimp grilled. But I think next time I'll probably choose something totally different so I can get a taste of everything they offer. I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Good fish tacos but my gosh since when did counter order and help yourself fountain pop type places get so pricey?! Wish there was a side salad option other than coleslaw or ordering a giant green salad. I think it’s decent food and reliable/predictable if you like getting the same thing but priced as if it’s a table service restaurant.
