Russo's Seafood

If you are looking for fresh fish this is the place that you want to go however they are showing a picture of the seafood restaurant but right next to the seafood restaurant is the fish market Russo's fish market. You pick out whatever fish it is that you want by your own hand I use a napkin I look for the clarity and the eyes as well but don't really have to do that because all their fish is fresh and I mean fresh there's shrimp they're fresh shrimp! You can sometimes see the green and blue on the tails when you see the green and blue on tails you know you have the freshest shrimp that you can get. They don't spray that spray on them it's not farm raised shrimp it is actual local caught shrimp there is a big difference in texture Bass, sheep head, flounder, red snapper, and grouper and drum are some of the fish that they carry you will enjoy they have lump crab meat , claw meat fresh and alive crawfish and muscles and oysters oh and be sure if you haven't got your oysters on yet LOL! Every month with the r letter is the best time to get your fresh oysters with that being said April is the last so get your oysters on.....lol but yes this is the place to go for your fresh fish enjoy

Place is clean and staff is friendly prices are high but that's seafood for ya! Love the variety! We have been buying there a few weeks now and really enjoy it! Def one of the better seafood spots we have been to get fresh seafood to cook!

Very good albeit simple Southern seafood, and very fresh, given that the restaurant is owned by Savannah's most-respected seafood market (which is right next door). In the homey, nautical-themed restaurant they serve up mostly fried seafood--fish, shrimp, and I think oysters--and side dishes traditional to the region. I had fried shrimp, coleslaw, and crab chowder and the crab chowder was the best sherry-infused style crab soup I've ever had. The shrimp and hush-puppies also outstanding and the coleslaw fine. The service is prompt, cheerful, and there is enough room to eat inside or you can take it with you. Only downside is they're only open for lunch from I think around 11am to 2pm or so. And possibly not every day--I'm pretty sure not on Sunday because the fish market itself is closed on Sunday.

As to the market, this is where I buy my fish including fish for sashimi and sushi and is the best I've found in town. I'm not always 100% impressed with their fish, but normally they're on top of their game.

We didn't eat at the restaurant but bought some fresh trout at their market, they had a great selection of fresh seafood and the staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely a five star establishment.

The selection of whole fish was fresh and plentiful. I saw the Sheepshead fish that I had to have!!!
They had shucked tray of oysters with cocktail sauce already to go! Hush puppies and deviled crab at 6.99 a piece.

Packaged fish and shrimp was a little pricey but the whole fish was a fantastic price!! They cleaned and gutted , scaled and filleted perfect!!! No extra charge. The wait was not long!! And they put everything on ice for you!! You can't beat it!!

Local clams were delicious!! Great price on them!!

The reason I'm giving this one star is because the service was horrible.
I'm a handicapped woman it was a big deal for me to get out of my car and go inside. there were two women in the front. 6 people behind the counter ..only myself and 1 other customer.
one who was folding napkins. the one who is not folding napkins ignored me, even after her customer left.
the one who was folding napkins was two steps from the door but did not hold the door for me.
I went in to buy fresh oysters. she pointed across the (fairly large for a handicapped 70 old with just my cane, not my wheelchair.) room at the oysters
.there were no prices. no information whatsoever about how many I could buy ...i.e...could I buy a dozen? excetera every single question that I asked her she went and asked someone in back room. and came back I ended up buying a peck which was $30 she said , after 3rd time I asked prices...otherwise the oysters were a dollar each when I got back I counted the oysters that was 32 oyster in there and they were mostly small or it's just not a regulation size at all. also here I am handicapped walking with a cane hardly able to walk and she did not offer to carry them to the handicap spot right outside of the door to the car. I had to ask her for that help.... it was maybe 10 steps very easy for her, extremely hard for me to deal with my cane, the door, and 30 fresh oysters was very heavy.. there were no other customers in there at the time I won't go back there are too many other places to buy fresh seafood.

Russo's is a wonderful seafood market and my go to for fresh seafood. Their restaurant sits on the other side of the parking lot from their seafood market. This is my spot for fresh flounder, oysters (fresh shucked or burlap bags full for the oyster roast), tuna, salmon, blue crab: jumbo, lump or body meat and so much more. Additionally, they'll clean your fresh catch for a few

Great fish market, especially the shucked oysters on the half shell. This may be the only place in town for those.

Skip the restaurant. Just awful, from incredibly slow service to lousy food, this despite very nice staff.

Traditional retail seafood. In business and just what you would expect from a retail establishment that's been around for 50 years with the same owner and management.

This fishmonger has been around and it delivers. It is a bit pricier but the items taste fresh. I was suspicious of the items that were pre-packaged but it does not suffer in flavor. A caveat of shopping for shrimp or scallops, they are pre-packaged so you can't order a specific amount.
