30 Essential Restaurants to Know in Birmingham, Alabama

"It’s only natural that a city a few hours from the Gulf Coast is obsessed with seafood. The Fish Market’s Southside location opened in 1983, when George Sarris took over his uncle’s fish market and transformed it into a restaurant. The original location remains in the family and unpretentious, offering a wealth of seafood with Greek influence. Guests can order counter service at the market and eat in a slightly more casual area, or wait for a table on the restaurant side. There’s also a selection of Greek imports, both edibles and handicrafts, to peruse. Satellite locations exist on 280 and in Vestavia." - Sarra Sedghi
