All over West Virginia are tried-and-true restaurants where you can always count on a great meal. Oftentimes, it's the humble little eateries that become our favorites. These places aren't fancy but they serve up delicious and authentic home cooked food that our stomachs and hearts can't get enough of. Coleman's Fish Market is a no-frills spot that has been dishing up stellar seafood for more than a century.
Located in the historic district of Wheeling, Coleman's Fish Market has been winning over diners since 1914. The family-run restaurant and market serves fresh seafood beyond compare.
The small eatery is bright and upbeat accepting counter orders that come out fresh and hot straight from the ever-busy kitchen.
Coleman's is most famous for its legendary fish sandwich. It's a simple but scrumptious preparation that is quite the local sensation.
Enjoy layers of breaded fish cooked with a crisp outer coating and flaky moist inside. Served on white bread, this sandwich had earned the reputation of being the best for miles.
Coleman's also creates a soft shell crab sandwich that is always a home run. Don't let the odd looks of this dish scare you off. After one bite, you'll be a life-long fan.
You'll also find wonderful seafood chowders and salads that appeal to those with lighter appetites.
Don't pass up a side of the seasoned fries. These perfectly cooked potatoes make a great accompaniment to any dish.
