Randell Pate: Not good not good at all. 1st time going and last. Cold and soggy fish and batter definite signs of old grease and sub par temperatures in a effort to save money. Mushrooms were so salty I couldn’t stand eating any after 3 atemps. 2 cod dinners and a pound of salt rooms for $47.54 after a tip. Culver’s cod dinner blows this away and they will give you enough tater sauce for your fish. I would get a McDonalds fish sandwich before going back to the Fishery.

Holly Homrich: OVER PRICE!!!!!! I’ve been going there for years, back when the old man owned it, I have always gotten the same thing, 2 pounds of ocean perch, used to be 18.00 for order through the years it slowly went up in price ( understandable) my last 2 orders on July 8 2022 27.99 December 30 22 31.99 today April 7 2023 40.99. For same order. Priced me right out, not worth the money. I thought the guy misunderstood me I said not lake perch ocean perch, that was the price, then they have the audacity to ask for a tip. Wish the old man would buy it back and get things right. Not to mention the quality has gone downhill We have scratched this place off our list to visit!!!!

Sophia Sunderhaus: My family and I went here for our monthly dinner (6 people total). The service was wonderful, our waitress was friendly and provided great recommendations for drinks and food. The atmosphere was lovely, beautiful restaurant. The food was okay, however I was expecting more from a place with "seafood" in the name and the price point. My fish was advertised as "blackened" and it certainly was, almost to the point of being acrid. My husband's fish and chips were soggy. If I return, I would go with the Paella.

Tammy Campbell: We went here last Friday and had a delightful meal and fantastic experience. The restaurant has light, open and modern feel but the warm tones of wood keep it feeling cozy.Our server was Natalie. She was, engaging, knowledgeable and attentive.Our appetizers were: octopus, shrimp cocktail, oysters, crab cake (Amazing!) and she crab soup (delicious).My husband had the Ahi Tuna, which was cooked to perfection! I had the scallops and risotto. The scallops were tender and delicious. The risotto was rich but still a nice accompaniment to the scallops.Everything we ordered looked exactly like the picture on the menu and the flavors did not disappoint!

Kevin Buchanan: The atmosphere was so cool it reminded me of a 1920s area train station. Our server was really good and very informative of the menu.The food on the other hand was quite bland and had no flavor to it at all. I've had fish sticks with more flavor.. maybe I'm being picky, but for a $240 bill I was expecting more..

E P: Stopped in last night for dinner and I have to say this is by far the nicest Real Seafood restaurant in the Mainstreet family. The place is visually stunning with a nice balance between modern and classic ascetics. The Chef and Manager both went above and beyond to address my wife's dietary restrictions and everything worked out great. Our server was thoughtful and kind and did everything perfect. I got the fish and chips and my wife got the Paella that was crafted especially for. Both were on point for a place of this caliber and we will be returning very soon.

E Sellaro: Very good place and Nona did a great job!

MyReviews Account: After a fantastic dinner experience last year August, we had an overall mediocre experience today. This was supposed to be a special lunch to celebrate our anniversary.It started off with the building being extremely cold. Our waitress tried to find a solution and I ended up wearing her jacket for the better part of my meal since I couldn't stop shivering.This was very kind of her and I hate having to give a bad review for most of the experience.While our beverages and appetizers arrived within a timely manner, the main dish took a long time to get to us. It turned out the meal had been sitting there all along, our waitress was just busy chatting with colleagues. After some time a different waitress noticed it and ended up bringing us our food.I also had to ask to get some bread during our main course since it was never brought to us.We both had paellas. Unfortunately, the meals were extremely salty and didn't taste very good. We have both been feeling extremely inflamed ever since. It also seemed like my portion of rice was just the leftover, since it wasn't even enough to cover my plate. If it had tasted good, I would have definitely wanted the same portion size as my husband ;)On top of that, the lobster was gooey and not enjoyable.It took a while to get the check and we left pretty disappointed. I don't think we will be back.

Mrs. Michelle Bowen: The service was superb, notably from our server Ashley B. She was very knowledgeable, hospitable and attentive! We've been to the Real Seafood in Bay City and I would say the food was better there, but the design/overall space of the GR location was more impressive than Bay City's space. Unfortunately, my grilled salmon was overcooked, my husband's crab cakes were overly salty and our friend's fish & chips were borderline burnt and therefore dry. Cocktails, appetizers and desserts were terrific...definitely craveable. I highly recommend the chocolate brandy mousse and banana pudding cheesecake (I didn't have it b/c I'm Gluten-free, but everyone at our table raved about it).

Mary Kregel: We have gone here a couple of times now and ordered different entrees, and both times, the food was excellent, as was the service!!

S M: I love the fried Salmon! My fav 😍

Faith B: The smelt and fries dinner option is awesome taste wise and fresh. They pull the seafood out of a case in the front of the shop, weigh it, and cook to your preference. Lots of Togo orders getting pickup so if your not eating outside the market than place your order on the phone or you’ll be waiting extra time. Prices are slightly high and if you pay via card there is no spot for a tip….. so make sure you bring cash for a tip.

Brittney Kennedy: I haven't been here in years, but I used to go all the time, when I would go to the school up the road 7 years ago! They don't disappoint on, their food! Recommend 120%!! 🤗🥂Kid-friendliness: They had everything to suit everyone.

Ashley Thompson: Whoever has been cooking in there these past two months needs to stop!I always order the same thing, same way, everytime for years. Last several times I received my order it was flavorless. Crack seasoning has been nonexistent...never uses the normal recipe and just puts garlic powder. Tenders are noticeably smaller cut pieces, and not cooked the same "crispy" I've always got in the past.

Joy Putnam: They were very busy, Saturday dinnertime, and only had 3 people working. When I got my catfish and fries home, both were undercooked. Good place to pick up fresh fish to cook yourself, but I wouldn't recommend grabbing a dinner to go.Food: 2/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 1/5 …More

Kelsea VanBuren: I got mash potatoes, Mac n cheese, and banana pudding. I also ordered chicken wing drumettes, but due to being out of stock (honestly I can see why!), they replaced it with a HEFTY portion of wingettes/wing tips. Seriously, SOOO good.The Mac n cheese was pretty good, as well.The mash potatoes were eh for me personally because of the gravy.Then for desert the banana pudding, absolutely fantastic!!Seriously though the chicken is fantastic, the seasoning used mixes well with their buffalo sauce!!

Bo C: Ordered smelt, lake perch, and bluegill fillets. All of it was over seasoned! To the point of gagging, and could even visually see, just a pile(s) of seasoning on the fillets! Like it was just poured out, but not evenly, not even shaken around to try and break up the piles of it. This was my third time here, an I believe will now be my last! Almost $40.00 worth of food. And not one of the three orders, were seasoned properly! An you didn't even bother to ask, if I'd want any tarter sauce!! I don't know if it was the cook, or counter person... But you shouldn't be seasoning anything, to the point you can no longer taste the fish, or anything else you have cooked!!!

Sam Rodeghier: Really enjoyed the food, got catfish bites and fries. It’s not fine dining, but that’s not what I wanted, just some tasty fried food. Order was made quick and building seemed clean and well kept inside. Overall a good experience.Recommended dishes Catfish Nuggets …More

Aaron Merritt: 1st Visit: Yes, first, because after that there will be more. Lady running the place when I went it was amazing and helpful. I didn't see exactly what I was looking for on the menu so just kind of gave a vague description of what I wanted (kind of like a sampler platter of the fish) she asked a few questions on seasoning, fry types etc and was off. 10 mins later she came back with a basket of fresh hot fish and a side of fries! All for 6.50$! Doesn't the local coffee cost more than that these days?Anyway, 6.50$ the fish was amazing, the season was amazing, the crust was perfect, the fish was flaky and juicy and perfect and the "lunch basket" was just the perfect amount to NOT knock me out for the rest of the day while still filling me up. Also, I'm a big criticizer of most tartar sauces and usually have them throw in another sauce on the side just in case. I'm here to say, theirs definitely stands alone. It's a winning sauce. This place is doing everything right and like the review started, there will be future visits!Great job guys and gals.

Siawan: The food was fresh and flavorful! I will definitely be returning 😋

Kimberly Atkinson (Sparkle): Second time being here and again they have no catfish fillets. The lady lied to me and said that nowhere around here has catfish fillets but I just called four brothers and they have them. Don’t lie just cause you don’t have what people want. You don’t never have your open sign on. Don’t know if I’ll ever stop again

Julian Bierema: Authentic southern taste, the fish and chicken were both packed with flavor! I've been coming here for years, and my food is always made right and on time. Carol and her daughters are some of the nicest ladies you will meet!

Sara Bruinsma: The best rib tips in town! My husband and I also ordered the perch, hush puppies, banana pudding, and lemon cake. All of it was delicious and made with love. And the owner is so nice! We will definitely be back.

Mary Trice: Horrible food and the owner was very rude 👎👎

Eric Pratt: Their catfish nuggets, with the works seasoning is the best!

Horace Scoota Chavers: My Wife and I were in town and wanted some good fried fish. We ended up googling and choosing Southern Fish Fry. We both got the catfish nugget dinners. They were made to order fresh, well seasoned , and delicious! We also got the lemon pound and caramel cakes both moist and delicious as well. The service was EXCELLENT! We definitely will be going back!

Jackie Shollack: I have wanted to eat here for a long while and tonight we stopped. During they day they serve fish which is what I originally wanted but the bbq turned out to be fantastic. We ordered the rib tips, pulled pork sandwich, fries and a side of Mac n cheese. It was all really really good. The staff was so friendly, we will definitely go back! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Jj Labelle: I had a craving for a really good fish fry and this place didn't disappoint! Even with take out the coating on my catfish was crisp and the fish moist and delicious! I love that there are a variety of seasoning flavors to choose from just to keep things interesting. This little place doesn't look like much at first glance, but it's our best little gem of a find!

Jason Horrocks: The fried perch is delicious and inexpensive. “The works” seasoning is on point. Will definitely return to try the rest of the menu.

Laura Baker: Delicious menu and friendly service.

We got shrimp, snow crab, scallops and potatoes corn and I got an boiled egg in boiled bag, Cajun with medium heat. The medium heat wasn't really spicy so next time we will try the hot. They had different optiona for flavoring. And different levels of heat you can or want to handle. Oooh and then we got the key lime cheesecake!! Taste very good!! Creamy delicious and had a decent lime taste!! The place is very decent on pricing. We paid for all of this for 91$ we left our server name was Jojo and he did awesome!! We left him a good tip.
