About Fish & Wing

Fish & Wing is a seafood restaurant on 10th Ave N in Bessemer, built around a walk-up counter with about five chairs and no tables, so most customers order standing and carry their plates out. The menu runs through whole and filet whiting, whole catfish, and croaker, alongside a rib, fish, and wings plate and a shrimp and whole wing chicken combination. Coleslaw is served as a side, and seasoning salt is set out on the counter for customers to add to their food after ordering. Orders are placed walk-in style directly with the owner at the counter. The restaurant opens Tuesday through Saturday and stays closed on Mondays and Sundays.

    “Service was disappointing both over the phone and in person. The food was just okay, and it seemed to reflect the poor level of service. Customer service makes a big difference in the overall lunch experience, and unfortunately, this visit fell short. I won't be returning because I prefer to support places that serve good food with a positive attitude.”

    “Wow! The fish was the bomb, coleslaw so good. Enough food for my money,but it tastes so good. More than enough for the price.”

    “I sent my friend there to get me some food and the chicken was fried in burnt grease and the fries was hard on the outside and mushy on the inside.”
  • Andrea Glass
    “I had a shrimp and whole wing chicken plate. The food was cooked fresh but did not have any seasoning. They do provide condiments on the counter including seasoning salt to add to your food after you get it. The portion size was good to me. …”
  • Willie Collins
    “The fish sandwich from Fish and Wing was absolutely delicious! The fish was fried perfectly—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was seasoned just right and paired well with the soft, fresh bread. The portion size was generous and very filling. Everything tasted fresh, hot, and made to order. If you’re looking for a great, satisfying meal, definitely the place to go! ⭐⭐⭐⭐”

Customer Review Summary

Fish is what reviewers return for most, with one calling a fish sandwich crispy outside and tender inside on soft bread, and another praising the fish and the coleslaw as more than enough food for the price. A shrimp and whole wing chicken plate and a rib, fish, and wings plate also drew favorable comments, and one longtime customer came back after years away. The space is a tiny counter operation with about five chairs and standing room, packed with locals, so some wait in their cars. Complaints center on two things. Several describe a blunt, unfriendly owner who left a customer's undercooked double cheeseburger unresolved, so it was thrown away. Others report chicken fried in burnt grease, hard and mushy fries, underseasoned food, and online menu prices that did not match the bill. One reviewer noted seasoning salt on the counter to add after ordering, and another said the owner still added forgotten fries to a large order after ringing it up.
