We pick up fish here almost every Sunday for dinner . Tonight was Arctic Char , Hake , Opah, and Cod for my wife. We always enjoy what we have found to be the freshest,most sustainable fish in the city .
Washingtonian says don't miss: Clam chowder ; raw oysters ; house-cured anchovies with tonnato sauce; grilled sardines ; bigeye tuna ; crabcakes ; butterscotch pot de crème ; banana cream pie .
Shrimp cocktail , crab cakes , Oysters Rockefeller , Provençal seafood stew , wood grilled cheeseburger , onion straws clam chowder , ice cream , shrimp and grits , breads , butterscotch pot de creme
A little out of the way for us, but fabulous dinner . Flounder entree was fabulous. Starters were spot on - oysters/octopus/clams/oysters rockefeller/scallops - excellent. End with banana cream pie .
Really enjoyed each course here. Salmon tartare appetizer is excellent. And the seasonal apple pie with ginger ice cream and butterscotch sauce is perfection.
Oysters , blue shell mussels , fried Ipswich clams and more join entrees like bouillabaisse , skate wing and smoked toro dashi to pretty much cover the gamut of seafood . [Eater 38 Member]

Seafood in unreal here, try the crab cakes and oysters . Apps are the way to go!
This Palisades restaurant has its own fish market . And a happy hour from 4-7 pm Mon-Fri has amazing drink specials . So stop in for a drink and a pound of the freshest seafood in town .
Look, I hate anchovies , but their house-made anchovies make a fantastic Caesar. And their tilefish is the best seafood dish I've tasted in months.
I remember they had skate wing fish on the menu which I like a lot and it's not very popular. It was delicious with lentil salad .
Great meal and amazing accommodating staff . They went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience.
The bouillabaisse was amazing. Great food, well-prepared. Comprehensive wine list . Pricey . Service was good.
Not a bad thing on the menu. Brunch faves: Eggs Pontchartrain & Texas Pink Shrimp & Grits . For dinner : wood grilled whole fish .
Walking by the fish market up front you’ll likely get a sense of what will be on the menu from the ice beds holding super-sweet Nantucket bay scallops or a bountiful array of oysters .
The petite platter was a letdown as we felt that for a fish market the food would have been fresher. Our entrees was a bit lacklustre for the price
Any fresh fish . Great combination of flavors
My favorite restaurant in all of DC! Seafood is to die for!
best Seafood Happy Hour in town - and some of the best fresh fish to buy @ their Black's Market
Fresh oysters and mussels are wonderful!
It was great. It was also easily the most expensive dinner I've ever had. So the value proposition isn't really there. But if money is no object, go.
Outstanding seafood - probably the best in town . Try the crab cakes - they aren't on the menu, but are ridiculously good.
Awesome oysters . Great fish selection and not bad happy hour !
without a doubt the best seafood in DC. Wild Rockfish seared and topped with coconut/chorizo sauce was out of this world
Wow everything was beyond fantastic- worth the higher prices
Such good seafood and good cocktail menu too!
Food is excellent, but their service staff seems not well trained at table service. This coupled with forgotten orders. Don’t be afraid to push them. Leave comments with management. They respond.
Hit up this spot Monday to Friday from 11:30am to 2:30pm, when $18 gets you any three (of four) options: an appetizer , entrée, dessert or drink.
Try the Beignets - Fantastic!!! Just as good or better than Cafe Du Monde. Yup! I said it!
Amazing Seafood ! Fantastic service. Wonderful wines .
One if the best places in DC!! All around great restaurant !!!
* 1/2 stars in Tom Sietsema's Fall Dining Guide 2011. (Tom recommends the snowy fish .) http://wapo.st/qYbJd9
The shrimp & grits are amazing for brunch !
Major letdown. Salmon was raw and branzino was burnt. Heirloom tomato salad full of peppers . If they say full fish , they'll give you a filet. Seafood isn't at its finest here :(
The weekend happy hour is the bomb!
Best sea food in DC. Delicious
Great happy hour . But don't tell anybody. Please!!
The weekend brunch is outstanding.
Fabulous service. Excellent menu. Mos def a place to impress a client, business partner...or date.
The pan seared mahi mahi was fantastic!
Try the Applesmoked Bacon - Fantastic!!! Holy Crap it tasted like an amazing ham !
Super fresh fish to purchase as well as an excellent restaurant
Fish ! Halibut was amazing.

Apps and small plates here are incredible. Try something unique like the Brussels Sprouts w/ Maple & Pecans! - Eric Andersen
Great cocktails, outstanding oysters, and fantastic service. And get the lobster rangoon! - Alex Priest
Lobster roll is one of the best in the city! Oysters are also always fresh - N Gilman
Come here for the hard to find liquors and vintages of wine - Emily Chandler
Prices are now $1.50 per piece for most nigiri, but still well worth it. I recommend the white tuna, sea scallop, and my fav, lobster among the $1.50 pieces. The hamachi and uni r more but yummy. - Alan Rosenblatt
Erin at the minute clinic is fantastic. She sat with me for 45 minutes to an hour going over my mono diagnosis and even called to make sure I was doing ok a couple days later! - Claire August
