Review Fountain View Fish Market - Houston

I am going through hard times when I go to other businesses I am treated like a homeless person and like they don’t want me in the establishment. I went here today for lunch and they were all kind, friendly, fresh and fast. The fish is always fried perfect but a little bland. However, yhey have all the fixings for you to season to taste.

Overall pretty good , could use a bit more seasoning but still good .. the complementary ice tea is magical, definitely try .

This place is amazing. Perfect example of what a hole in the wall restaurant means. The shrimp is plump and perfectly crunchy. The fish is flaky and juice and fried to perfection. I wish the restaurant would house make all of it sauces but I understand.

Great customer service!!.. The owner is very pleasant. Food is cooked to order, which means always fresh. I love the Fried Shrimp platter.. How can you not love the service these ppl offer...Homemade sweet tea on the House

The definition of a perfect hole in wall hidden gem. Simple well executed seafood. Can’t beat the free housemade lemonade tea.

Fountain View Seafood Market has got "seafood going on"! I've been many times. I normally get the #16 (3 fish, 12 shrimp) with 2 choices of French fries, slaw, or egg rolls. I like all the sides and normally have a hard time choosing. It's mostly pick up or delivery and some eat there while all in their own zone surfing their cell phones so don't expect conversation. I don't think they have a bathroom so pee before you go. The ladies are friendly but don't expect too much conversation from them either. The kitchen and display areas are spotless despite being an older place and a lot of effort is spent to maintain a fish place. No greasy or fishy smell when you walk in. I don't like fried food, I don't like fried food! So what? There are other things to get so get over it.

So todays lunch was seafood. I wanted to try this spot that my brother told me about. It's a small shop that sells fried seafood and they also sell fish and shrimp to take home to fry or cook on your own. I was greeted as I walked in the door. I ordered 1 catfish and 12 shrimp. There was no combo for it so I ordered the dozen shrimp combo and added a piece of catfish. It comes with two sides, I got fries and an egg roll. What I did like was the holes they put in the to-go box so that the steam would not make my food soggy on the way home. First bite into the catfish I noticed that it was not catfish, I believe it was swai catfish (a type of catfish) and I don't care for for swai at all. The food was fried to perfection especially the shrimp. The crunch was like crispy fried chicken. The batter was seasoned as well. The shrimp was so good. When I have a taste for some good ol' fried fish I will be going here and it was not expensive at all. If you want good fried shrimp go here. If you don't mind eating swai catfish then you may like beachside it was definitely seasoned well and fried good.

Food was pretty good! Everything was fried to perfection. The seasonings were light to medium, versus some Cajun eateries. The service was great and the ambiance casual.

The food is made to order, freshly served every time. They also offer complimentary lemon ice tea that’s amazing and very refreshing! The staff was nice and helpful! Thank you for an amazing lunch experience!!!

Ordered the 2 fish 2 shrimp combo. Coleslaw-bland and tastes like its just the slaw vegies with watery slaw sauce. Onion rings- were slightly over fried but good and, not overly sweet batter. Fish- is nicely fried. Batter is bland. Could use more seasoning. Shrimp- Fried nicely, batter could use more seasoning as well. Iced tea- tastes more like Arnold Palmer. #WilCWhatsNext

We ordered fried catfish with fries and cole slaw and enjoyed every bit of it ( cole slaw was tasteless to be honest, but the rest of the stuff was PERFECT). The fish was perfectly seasoned and nothing was greasy at all. You can also get unlimited tartar sauce which makes the food even more deliciouse. All the staff members were super friendly. I'll try their shrimp next time as the shrimps looked super fresh and tasty.

everything was great and would recommend try shrimp and fish

Simply Delicious!! The food is delicious, the owner and staff are so nice, and the restaurant is so clean! Definitely a hole-in-the-wall must try! P.S. Their homemade sweet tea w/lemon is a must have.

Location is small and parking is limited. The fish is good and shrimp size is nice for the price. The bredding used on the fish and shrimp is very good, not greasy or heavy. When you order your combo make sure you let them know what sides you want otherwise you will automatically get French fries and coleslaw. Most combination plates come with a drink you also have to make sure you get it from the fridge next to the counter because they will not tell you to. They also have a fish counter where you can pick from to buy and take home if desired. During lent this is a super busy place so I don't recommend coming at this time if you don't like waiting in small places not to mention the parking issue.

I will forever believe in the “hole in the wall”! This place is at the top of those places! U almost wish they was multiple locations! But why fix it if it ain’t broke! GREATTTTT food.. simple and done right!! Must have!

Gem in the hole. Very very fresh seafood! Excellent shrimp. They do not have that much seating inside but if you are lucky you can find a spot. Pricing is very reasonable. They also do sell fish, shrimp, crab and etc for you to purchase to cook at home.

Easily the best fried fish in town, one of the best places I've eaten in town overall. I picked the 3-fish-6-shrimp meal with french fries and onion rings, and I have to say, it was probably the best meal I've ever eaten. Especially those french fries. Wonderfully seasoned. Service was great, and the staff were so kind! Very cozy atmosphere, I can see myself coming back soon.

Fresh seafood, quick service and low prices. You can order ahead and that would be recommended because there's not much room inside. They generally take about 10 to 15 minutes to make an order during their busier times. You can't go wrong by ordering a dozen shrimp with three Catfish fillets and two egg rolls with a drink for 12 bucks.

Best fried shrimp I have had in Houston, light and not greasy with the shrimp flavor on full display. The egg roll was great as well. Will be back for more.
