Located downtown near the University of Alabama-Birmingham and its medical center, the Fish Market is the cheapest and possibly the best seafood restaurant in Birmingham. The owners are from Greece, so the self-service dining area is decorated with Greek photos and artwork. There is a small grocery area and, of course, a fish market. The food is fresh, and the portions are large. There is always a crowd because the value is unbeatable. The venue is open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m.
