Fish Peddler's Market

We visited here for lunch today, and the food was great as usual, but the service was terrible. Granted we had a large group, but not once did a waitress check to see how we were doing, or if we needed more drinks. We had to ask for the rest of our food. Even with a large group, we were not boisterous (with 4 children included), and we clean up after ourselves, including any food that ends up on the ground. When it came time to pay, just our part of the tab was over $130 including some fresh seafood. Before we were even done paying one waitress rudely asked the other if we had tipped her. In my opinion, you earn your tip. It wasn't earned today. Enjoy the $15 you had given to you for your terrible service.

Very, very disappointed. Bought a suposedly fresh crab today for dinner. Packed on ice, got it home and it was disgusting brown mush. $17.00 crab in the dumpster.

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 the Bay front.

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 place changing.

Bought a crab to cook at home, upon cleaning it was obvious that the crab had been dead for a while before I bought it. Any other sane place would have seperated the meat before contamination set in, so I recommend not purchasing from them.
