The whole fried fish at Alabama Fish Bar is crispy outside and flaky inside. The tropical salsa on top is the perfect complement. One of the best seafood experiences in Cincinnati.

Alabama Fish Bar is our anniversary dinner spot every year. The seafood tower for two is spectacular and the grilled lobster tail is cooked to perfection. Worth every penny for a special occasion.

Casual seafood done right at Alabama Fish Bar. The fish tacos are incredible with fresh mahi and the shrimp po boy is loaded. Great lunch spot in Cincinnati with a fun atmosphere.

Solid seafood restaurant in Cincinnati. Alabama Fish Bar has good grilled salmon and the calamari is not chewy at all. Reasonable prices and the wine list pairs well with the menu.

Best crab cakes in Cincinnati are at Alabama Fish Bar. All lump crab, minimal filler, and served with a remoulade that is housemade. The chefs clearly love what they do.

The freshest seafood in Cincinnati is at Alabama Fish Bar. The lobster bisque is rich and the clam chowder is thick and creamy. The fish is delivered daily and you can taste the difference.

Oysters at Alabama Fish Bar are always perfectly fresh and the selection rotates with what is in season. The shrimp scampi is buttery and garlicky over housemade pasta. A seafood lover's paradise.
