South Beach Fish Market may look like a greasy spoon at first glance, but don't let that deter you. There's nothing greasy about their fried food, it's fresh, crispy and the batter is airy. The French Fries too are crunchy and not soggy.
It's certainly a no frills place but that's OK. Only the outside tables could use a scrubbing more often.

Best food around! I have been going here for years with my husband, anytime We are even remotely close. I can eat until I’m sick. We go to the ocean one-two times a year and I’ve never found anywhere that has better seafood.

From the outside the view is not that pretty and the inside is not that great either but the food is the best you will find any where. The place is always busy with to go orders from the locals and the dine in is always full the reason is the food is that great

We stopped here for supper on a Sunday evening. Easy on and off the busy highway 101, just about ½ mile south of the Newport bridge We have eaten here on previous visits to the coast. They were busy, but service was quick and pleasant. The fresh Fish (Cod) and Chips were great. Large portions and yummy. Very fresh. This is not fine dining – no tablecloth or candles – just a great seafood café, with a large crab pot outside (for cooking your own crabs?) The place is always very busy – mostly locals, which tells you a lot about their well-deserved reputation.

Was very expensive and very dirty. I could of eaten at goergios for the same price and had a clean plate and silverware
