This place definitely has some downsides (food that isn't exactly innovative, less-than-inspiring atmosphere), but it definitely has a lot of good things going for it too. The service is attentive, the grilled fish is fresh and very flavorful, the oysters are awesome (and we all know good oysters are hard to come by in the desert) and only cost $.95 during seafood happy hour (weeknights and weekend days), and the prices are very reasonable given the quality of the fish. \n\nMy sister and went here for lunch this past weekend. I had four Miyagi oysters (which, again, were only $.95 because it was noon on Saturday) that were perfectly briny and super-fresh. She had the side salad, which she said was good, although the house dressing had a bit of a funky taste. We both had the rainbow trout and the basil cherry tomatoes and rice for side dishes. The fish itself was so flavorful and not too greasy, although she did report that her portion had a lot of really small bones, and the rice side dish was good. I would recommend avoiding the basil tomatoes, though - even though the tomatoes themselves were fresh, they were absolutely covered in black pepper, which made them inedible. Our server was nice and kept the drink refills coming. For $40 including tip, we had two appetizers, two entrees, and a soda and left very satisfied. If you are looking for innovation or trendy atmosphere, you probably want to go elsewhere, but if you want good-quality seafood and reasonable prices, you will really enjoy the Fish Market.
