Fish Peddler's Market — Restaurant in Newport

At first glance, the Fish Peddler seemed to be my kind of seafood diner. Connected to a shrimp and fish company, the food has got to be fresh. Although the food was fresh, and smelt great, that was where it stayed. Upon sitting down, we were given ice tea that was brewed from a machine that was not cleaned. That should have been the clue. But with a fantastic menu and great prices, what else could have gone wrong? I ordered a shrimp po-boy. And it smelt great. One bite, and those spices and flavours took over. Ok, this is delicious. Until I took another bite. My teeth sunk into something a little more stringy and plastic then shrimp skin. It was a bread tye, mixed in with the shrimp. I was very upset. Upon asking for the manager I was told the meal could not be comped and I had to pay for it. That the manager was out. I found out that was a lie and the manager showed up after a few moments. I said I was not paying for that meal. She said I could have another sandwich, but after the discusting tea, the bread tye, AND being lied to by the waitress, I quickly declined and left. I do not recommend this place to anyone. There are many other places to choose from on...

Hands down, the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Positioned right on the bay by the Pacific seafood factory. This unassuming eatery is a gem. You’d think the seafood volunteered to be cooked, seafood here is unbelievably fresh and tastes like they leaped from the sea right into your plate! I mean there’s a section where you can see part of the factory where shrimp are being sorted and prepared…..

The breading, the cook and the seasoning were on point.

The fries here are the perfect crunch and comfort ❤️I asked them for its recipe, assuming they’d confirm my suspicion of them being just generic frozen ones. Their answer won me over. (You’re going to want to ask).

Often times you find really good fish and chips but are let down by the accompaniments. At the Fish Peddler’s Market, the tartar sauce is a winner in its own right. You’ll end up wanting to eat more fish right after.

Yummy in my tummy....

Sold us a black rotten crab! Who does that? We have been coming here for years and years. It has been our shrimp cocktail and crab place in Newport for ever. Today we showed up all happy for our treat and could tell something had changed, we ordered 2 shrimp cocktails and they were only half full and the shrimp tasted soggy not crisp and fresh plus she charged extra for a little extra cocktail sauce. Whatever, it's Wednesday right? Came back to get a crab to go. Ask her to pick out the best one and clean it. She does and takes our money and says nothing about the black crab body she just cleaned and put on ice for us. We get back to hotel and go to eat it. It is black and has a cottage cheese like liquid oozing out when we crack it. So grossed out we threw it away and hope we don't get sick. Too far down the road to take it back. $10 /lb. Just thought I'd warn ya. Very sad to see this...
