Review for White River Fish Market and Seafood Restaurant!



White River Fish Market and Seafood Restaurant has received rave reviews from publications across the country for their fresh seafood, despite being far from the sea in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We just had to see what the fuss was about.

Taste-I had the grilled swordfish steak. It was buttery and delicious. It had a consistency and texture similar to a beef steak. It tasted completely different, though. Lighter and fresher, somehow. It was tender and flaky and a joy to eat. I will never look a swordfish the same again.

Taste-I had the fried catfish and shrimp dinner. The shrimp was crispy and the catfish tender.

Atmosphere-Doesn't look like much from the outside, or the inside really. Standard looking place, really packed, communal seating. I am normally against this, but here I believe it is a plus. It made it feel more like a get-together than a restaurant. Also, there is a fish market along one wall of the restaurant with a great selection of fresh seafood.

Atmosphere-The restaurant has a simple and casual atmosphere with community seating. A few accolades and ocean view pictures adorn the walls.

Service-Counter ordering, but your food is delivered to your seat without numbers assigned or assigned seating. The servers are quick and efficient. The place runs smoothly.

Service-The service was efficient and quick despite the fact that we came in at 12:15 PM and the place was hoppin'.

Value-Around $35 for my swordfish meal and Jess's catfish and shrimp meal. All dinners come with two sides and two hushpuppies and the portions are quite large. Worth every penny!

Value-Our bill was about $40 for two large dinners with 2 sides and hushpuppies. It's a pretty good deal for the high quality and quantity of the food.

Uniqueness-Has a wide range of seafood from all over, including many you don't see everywhere. Their seafood can be prepared many different ways: fried, broiled, grilled, steamed, or raw. Some New Orleans-inspired dishes.

Uniqueness-White River Fish Market probably has the best seafood offerings in Oklahoma.

Variety-A wide variety of seafood, but mainly only seafood. They have chicken breasts, but that is it for anyone who does not like seafood. No meals for vegetarians.

Variety-They have a large selection of seafood, plus a fish market and scrumptious looking pies.

Cleanliness-No real problems, but the restaurant is old and shows its age in places.

Cleanliness-No issues here.


Sides/Drinks/Desserts-Hushpuppies are the size of a golf ball and are tasty with a little kick. Fries and onion rings are good and definitely homemade. Rice was flavorful and a good compliment to the meal. Delicious looking desserts in the case, but we had no room.

Sides/Beverages/Desserts-I had crispy onion rings and fries. The huge hushpuppies had a crispy outside and soft inside with a hint of spice. Our dinners were served with cocktail sauce, butter and tartar sauce (the sauces homemade, of course).

Story/History-White River Fish Market has been in the same location for over 80 years. It is about the freshest seafood around and is famous all over for its cuisine.

Story/History-White River Fish Market has been in business for over 75 years and flies in fresh seafood from all over.

Presentation-Food always look good, but not spectacular. Tastes better than it looks, which is the way it should be.

Presentation-It ain't fancy and it don't need to be. Simple plating.


White River Fish Market is a must anytime you visit Tulsa. It is located close to the airport and the Tulsa Zoo, so it should be on your way!
