The only reason i didnt give 5 stars on the food is because the chips were stale and the frog legs a bit more chewy than i remember. The hot crab dip was excellent, the restraunt was pretty quiet despite there being a handful of other tables full and our waitress was kind and friendly. im looking forward to coming back!

Dont order anything but fried fish. Tried restaurant a few times with different dishes. Frozen boiled shrimp was terrible. Crawfish spaghetti lacks enough spices to be good. Cole slaw really good. Overall plan is to never go back as food is too high $ for what you get. Parking: Lots of potholes to get in and out.

My husband and I decided to try this place again after 3 years. It was pretty bad 3 years ago and it was worse this time. I ordered the seafood platter, it was far from a platter. There was hardly anything on it and what was on it was bland and so over cooked that it wasnt even edible. Very disappointed and will never go back !!!

Excellent food great wait staff. Busy times just be prepared to wait on your order. Fish Tacos Kids Chicken Strips Shrimp Scampi and Chicken Breast dinner all were excellent. Definitely worth the wait. Not too long for the quality and how good it is. Parking: Although the main parking lot is huge the parking near Fishermans Market fills up during busy times. Although almost full when we visited last nearby we still had no wait as they have lots of tables. Kid-friendliness: Several Kid friendly choices and a value win at $6

New to Longview and almost left before finding this restaurant hidden in the back. The sign out front looked like it had been there 50 years without any upkeep. Food was mediocre at best. Shrimp was not very fresh and rather bland. Dont remember what my husband ordered, but not great. Side room was nicely decorated, however we were not seated there. Service was just OK, not overly friendly. Considering food prices these days, service and quality needs to be top-notch. Disappointing.

My wife had a taste for seafood, and we have been here before. But today, Friday, February 2, 2024, it was awesome. Just after three so we missed the luncheon special. No problem! My wife got her two whole catfish with some onion rings and I got catfish filets with sausage jambalaya. Why I did that? (I did not want fries.) But bae-bae, that jambalaya wasnt no joke. We got our food, we were quieter than church mice cause we were eating good!!! I even ate my coleslaw... I dont eat coleslaw! Food and service were absolutely great. Cant wait to come back.

Ordered boiled shrimp and they were so small! A little bit bigger than a quarter. Hope to change this review in the future as we will still be visiting when we are in town.

I haven t been in a few years and my recent visit was a big disappointment. Fried oysters were small and overcooked to the point of being rubbery. Some were so small they shouldn t have been served. What s up with the Hush Puppies? They served something that s lacking texture and flavor that resembles a tiny churro. I see others have noted similar experience.

My brother lives in Tyler and found this place several years ago. He told me how great the food was at this restaurant. We decided to drive to Longview on this visit. We arrived approx 2pm. Decor was great but thats where it stops. Brother ordered oyster dinner and I had oyster boat. Waitress asked if I wanted regular hushpuppies or jalepeno. Brother ordered regular hushpuppies and I ordered jalepeno. This should have been first clue. Hushpuppies look like small cheese sticks and not what I expect for hushpuppies. I found no jalepeno in my sticks. Tried oyster which I found overcooked and chewy. Size was very small, some no bigger that tip of wine cork. Overall very disappointing. At least trip wasnt total waste since we also visited the Butcher Shop in Longview and cakes were awesome. Guess we should have read reviews before trying Fisherman Market. Our experience was same as the most recent reviews. If we knew then what we know now would have tried burger at The Butcher Shop.

Not sure what happened to this place. It used to be amazing food and always busy. The food has went downhill though. The hush puppies were disgusting I wouldn t want a dog to eat them. They were cold and hard and had the flavor of just grease. They were a lot smaller than they used to be. Then we get to the shrimp. It was super greasy, tasted like old nasty grease. The shrimp used to be bigger and butterflied but now it s small shrimp but a higher price. It had the taste of something that had been sitting there after being cooked and reheated in grease. We used to drive almost two hours to eat here all the time and now it s not worth a five minute drive.
