The Fish Market Restaurant is located on Blossom Hill Road, next door to Stuart Anderson's Black Angus Steakhouse. Customers are greeted by friendly servers, who walk them to their table. Large black and white photographs of fisherman and their 6-foot-plus-sized catches grace the walls of this casual restaurant.

During the day, the restaurant is lit by the skylights. At night, customers dine under a soft glow, which adds a somewhat romantic ambiance. The Fish Market also has a bar and lounge area, a full-service oyster bar and a seafood market.

The Fish Market is a place I go on occasion, mainly because my family doesn't like seafood. The restaurant offers New York strip steaks and boneless chicken breasts, but its non-seafood menu is too limited for my family.

I always order the Dungeness Crab Cakes appetizer whenever I go there. The cakes are warm and flavorful by themselves, but I like to dip them in the Dijon horseradish sauce that comes with them.

I've also had the Dungeness Crab Ciabatta sandwich, which has a good balance of crab and produce. The Seafood Louie salad comes with a generous portion of lettuce. I thought the shrimp was great, but the crab wasn't as fresh as I hoped it would be.

Apart from that, The Fish Market is one of my favorite seafood restaurants in San Jose. I look forward to going in the fall or winter, when I can try their cioppino and pastas.

If you need to throw a large party or banquet, The Fish Market can accommodate you. You'll have to make a reservation first, however. Couples and small parties can walk in and get seated almost immediately.

The meals and appetizers are priced between $10 and $25, depending on what you order. They open for lunch at 11a.m., Monday through Saturday. To get a full list of what times they open for lunch, dinner, the sushi bar, etc., visit www.thefishmarket.com. You can also get directions, if you are coming from outside of San Jose.
