My daughter and I decided to eat lunch here before going to the Hawks' game. The restaurant is a couple of miles from State Farm Arena. There was ample paid parking at the rear of the restaurant. We were warmly greeted by the waitress who reviewed the menu with us. We ordered the (not your traditional) delicious fried-spicy catfish sandwiches, with a celery and fennel salad. The beets were fresh. There was a house-made hot sauce which was full of flavor. Drinks were tasty as well. I recommend this restaurant if you're open to fusion flavors and dishes.

Fishmonger is consistent. Parking is a bit of a drag depending on the time of day, but I greatly appreciate the parking lot. The oysters are shucked beautifully and the bartenders are great and friendly. The blackened Caesar salad is AMAZING! If you're there during the summer you have to try the frozen painkiller.

I've been to two of the locations - Virginia Highland and the one near Candler Park. Not sure if there's a quality difference but at the Candler Park I ordered the tuna melt sandwich and a side of pasta salad based on a review recommendation. It was ok but probably overpriced at $16 for what it was and pasta salad was ok too but not something I would eat again. I recommend their raw bar more which I ate at the Virginia Highland location - I've had the ceviche and that was really good but unfortunately that location closes early.

Fishmonger has quickly become known around the city for its fresh seafood, innovative takes on classics, and a beloved favourite of former President Barrack Obama. Even though my opinion doesn't carry as much clout as his, I can too attest to their fantastic grouper sandwich! I've had the pleasure of dining at their Pullman Yards & West Midtown locations numerous times. My husband and I would like to come here on Wednesday to take advantage of their happy hour (half-priced marks on a patio), followed by their weekly clam jam! Their clams in a Thai curry sauce, crudo, and swordfish tacos are excellent picks! The bartenders are always friendly and show off their chops. Recently, at Westside Stride, we learned they'll be moving to a fancy new interlock building, and their previous location will be turned into a park. What a great way to stroll and walk off the yummy seafood and hearty bread after a meal. I can't wait to see the new space in 2025.

Out and about with my peoples looking for a place to buy some fish. GPS suggested Fishmonger. We entered a quaint spot with a large table for 6-8 and window seating and a small display of fresh fish. We were disappointed that there was not much of a selection but it might be due to the fact that the sandwiches and other prepared items were dayum good. We had the grouper sandwich and the tuna melt. I initially felt some kinda way about sides not being included but we did not need them at all...the sandwiches were plenty. The owner was very detailed about the preparation of ordered items which translated into phenomenal fare. He even had time to train new staff while working on a new dish. Cannot wait to see if it is on the menu on my next visit.

Fishmonger has been on my list and I decided to give it a try finally! I did not realize they replaced my beloved La Fonda's location but nonetheless I was excited! The decor and vibe is definitely edgy and fun off rip. I love the unique style of staff and how it all feels intentional + the neon colors for menus + lighting. Now on to the important stuff...the drinks & the food. I can't remember which drinks we ordered 100% but I believe we got the Daiquiri + 75 South. Both were delicious and the flavors were light and layered well. We also took part in a couple of glasses of their OE Le Chardonnay' 2022 which was pleasant and paired well with the meal. For food, I had the following with ratings included: * Chowder 7/10 (a little salty but I loved that it wasn't your standard level of creamy chowder. It was a lot looser of a base. * Gumbo 5/10: I love okra but this was mostly okra and minimal proteins. Was not nasty but definitely didn't give me those gumbo flavors I was looking for (spice, seafood etc) * Caesar 6/10: nothing special! I love a good Caesar dressing but this one was very very light. * Oyster Casino (Raw Bar): 9/10 no complaints at all! * Blackened Grouper Sandwich 8/10: fish was flakey and I loved the peppery crust. lacked a little salt here but with everything combined, not a big miss * Hot Fish Sandwich: 8/10: Very good, and nice hot flavor. Not that oily flavorless mess that "hot" dipped fish or chicken can be. Also a good size served! All in all, would recommend and come back for drinks + raw bar specifically.

It almost hurts how much I love this place. Seafood check, ambiance check, staff check! Their happy hours are great half off margs Thursdays and then $9 for half a dozen oysters I think it was. We came for lunch before sending off family as they wanted seafood and I knew just the spot. The shrimp roll was fantastic. It was great portion and tons of filling which sometimes is hard to find. The hot fish sandwich..... I can not stress enough how good it is. Juicy, spicy, fresh. All the things. It was messy and worth it. Never had something with this much flavor and cooked to perfection. The bartender is one of the kindest human beings always attentive and has the best personality. We come every week basically to see her and get the best prices seafood in town!

I went to Fishmonger for the first time which is in the same building that La Fonda used to be in and figured I would try their signature Grouper sandwich and it did not disappoint. The filet was pretty big and cooked perfectly, at least to my linking. I also had the fingerling potatoes which were drenched in a butter sauce that paired with the sandwich very well. The beet salad was way better than I anticipated. I would recommend anyone in the area that's been curious to at least try their offerings at least once! UPDATE: I tried the Tuna melt with the pasta side and they have surpassed my love of the Grouper sandwich. Pics added.

I have been dying to try this place and this was amazing! My main reason for the love is because the happy hour is from 5-7!!! Talk about generous!! You get half off margs and oysters I mean that's the best deal I've ever heard. Either way let's start at the beginning they have a lot out back for parking. And like I said happy hour. So we obviously split (me and a friend) 6 oysters and we each had 2 margs. Margs were on point and the oysters were fresh and delicious. We also got the fish dip which to be honest was just fine!! It kind of gave like a chicken salad esque vibe so not my fave but worth a try! Would try other apps next time For our entrees we shared the group sandwich and the lobster roll. That group sandwich lives up to the fame with how large, juicy and stunning it is. The lobster roll also was one of the better ones I have had in the city. Overall, I loved this place and can't wait to come back.
