    We had visited New Orleans in 2011 and ate at Red Fish. When we planned a trip back in 2025, one of the first things we did was make a reservation to eat at Red Fish again. It was just as good as we remembered.

    Had the blackened redfish. Actually we split it and were both pleased with the portion amount. As well as the flavor. Brussels sprouts appetizer was tasty. We were on our journey to complete the #FleurduCouer list of participating venues. Highly recommend this place.

    First time here in NOLA, was recommended the Red Fish Grill from a local working in the French Quarter, me and my family absolutely loved the food. The BBQ Oysters were amazing, would definitely recommend trying even if you don’t enjoy raw oysters. It’s a completely different texture and taste. Overall, the food was great and would definitely come back when in the French Quarter.

    Aly(son) was a great server and took amazing care of us and our tables' allergies. Alligator boudin balls had a great sauce, fried okra and Gouda grits were our favorites overall. Decent atmosphere.

    What a wonderful experience! My sister in law says she always visits Red Fish so we had to go. Our server was fantastic. The food was amazing (remember to order the bread pudding in advance!) and we will be back.
