Fish MV — Restaurant in Tisbury

My wife, 9 month old son, and I recently had the pleasure of dining at MV Fish in Martha's Vineyard, and let me tell you, it was an absolute delight! From start to finish, our lunch experience was nothing short of exceptional.

First off, the food! We decided to explore the flavors of the sea and ordered the fried oysters, lobster tacos, and the intriguing lobster suhshrito. Each dish was bursting with freshness and packed with incredible flavors. The batter on the fried oysters was light and crispy, perfectly complementing the tender and succulent oysters within. The lobster tacos were a true indulgence, with generous chunks of juicy lobster meat and a harmonious medley of spices. And let's not forget about the lobster suhshrito – a unique twist on sushi and burrito, combining the best of both worlds. The combination of lobster and sushi ingredients wrapped in a burrito-like form resulted in a tantalizing explosion of flavors that we can't wait to try again.

The ambience at MV Fish added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal. We chose to sit outside, and the view was just breathtaking. The outdoor seating area was beautifully adorned, offering a lovely seaside backdrop that enhanced the overall dining experience. The atmosphere was relaxing and laid-back, making it the perfect spot to savor our delectable seafood lunch.

Moreover, the service at MV Fish was top-notch. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They made us feel welcome and provided excellent recommendations that greatly enhanced our dining adventure. Their passion for the food they served was evident, and it truly added to the overall experience.

Last but not least, the attention to detail and commitment to quality ingredients at MV Fish deserve a special mention. It's clear that they take pride in sourcing the freshest seafood, ensuring that every bite leaves a lasting impression.

Visited Fish MV in Vineyard Haven and left deeply disappointed by the food quality relative to the high prices.

We ordered: • Maryland Crab Cakes ($26): These were the highlight of the meal — decently flavored and well-textured. However, they came with a limp, wilted side salad that looked like it had been sitting out too long. At this price point, you’d expect a fresher, more thoughtfully plated dish. • Fish & Chips ($28): The fish was overcooked and borderline burnt, with a batter that lacked seasoning. The interior was bland. It was served not with fries (as one might reasonably expect from a dish called “fish & chips”) but with a handful of tortilla chips, which felt like a cost-cutting substitution. The only redeeming element was the tartar sauce. • Tequila Lime Shrimp Tacos ($30): This dish was the most disappointing. The shrimp tasted pre-cooked and reheated, lacking any brightness or freshness. The tacos were heavily dressed with a creamy sauce that masked rather than elevated the flavor. The accompanying rice was over-salted and had dried-out bits that suggested it had been sitting in a pan for too long. The black beans were acceptable, but the side as a whole felt like an afterthought.

All dishes looked more appealing in presentation than they tasted — the photos flatter them. Unfortunately, the flavor and freshness didn’t match. Waiting about 15 minutes between the starter and entrées wasn’t unreasonable, but combined with the underwhelming food, it added to the sense of disorganization.

Ambience: Pleasant. The outdoor seating is cozy and inviting. Service: Adequate, neither warm nor inattentive.

Bottom line: We paid $105 for a meal that, based on quality, should’ve cost closer to $30–$40. The ingredients felt generic, and the execution was careless. If you’re dining out in Martha’s Vineyard and are expecting seafood that justifies the price,...

Just not great food. Being gluten-free myself, I was excited for the many gf offerings. Unfortunately it let us all down.

The calamari was over cooked and too thin, tasting like burnt bread with a pretty similar consistency. My tuna poke bowl’s rice was cold and hard like leftover rice that’s been sitting in the fridge. Was told this was normal sushi rice by the staff… eventually they gave me fresh rice - the tuna was decent. I’m told the Baja chicken bowl was “fine.” The guacamole lacked any seasoning whatsoever and is not worth it. Lobster sliders I’m told were good. Best thing I tasted was my virgin piña colado, which tasted like the real thing and not from a pre-made mix - much better than the iced tea.

The manager came to check on us towards the end. She was nice and comped a couple items. Unfortunately, the issues seem to lie with the kitchen team, like other reviewers have noted. Not worth your time or money until...
