If you're a seafood lover like me, walking into James Fishmarket feels like stepping into your crispy, golden-fried dreams. The Family Combo Buckets are where the feast begins—Bucket A and B serve up a generous spread, perfect for sharing with the whole crew. Whether you’re diving into Red Snapper, Catfish Fillet, or the buttery-soft Fillet of Sole, each bite is flaky, seasoned to perfection, and straight-up addictive.
For those craving something specific, the Shrimp Lover section delivers. You get your pick between Medium or Jumbo Shrimp, paired with crispy fries that are just the right kind of salty and satisfying. The shrimp are plump, juicy, and encased in a crackly batter that doesn’t skimp on flavor.
What really stood out to me was the Special Family Buckets—a celebration of fish done right. The Catfish Steak and Red Snapper options are perfect for those who appreciate variety and heartiness on their plate. And don’t skip the Dinner Specials: five-piece portions of your favorite fillets served hot, fresh, and with that signature Southern touch.
Lunchtime? They've got that covered too. The Lunch Specials mirror the dinner items but in smaller, more manageable portions—ideal for a mid-day seafood fix. And for the a la carte purists, half-pound options of fillets let you build your own plate.
The Sides are classic and comforting—Hush Puppies, Coleslaw, Green Salad, and Potato Salad offer just the right contrast to the rich seafood. Round out the meal with a Sweet Potato Pie or 7UP Cake, and don’t forget the homemade sauces—they're a game-changer.
At James Fishmarket, the menu isn’t just a list—it’s a full-on flavor roadmap for seafood fans.
