| - Wholey's is a famous fish market in town, but I truly do think it's overrated. There's an enormous variety of fish here, but other fish markets in the Strip that don't necessarily have the variety of Wholey's beat it soundly in terms of consistent quality and consistent freshness of the fish. Some of the fish that is offered is good and very fresh, but some of the other fish doesn't look great to me -- the eyes are dull and clouded, etc. Another reviewer said to "be prepared for the smell, but that's what you expect in a fish market." I agree that Wholey's fish department smells of overripe fish, but I disagree that that is acceptable in a fish market. Other fish markets in town do not smell of rotten fish.
Wholey's is also pretty crowded, and tries to do too many things at one time. I think it could be a good fish market if it was not also trying to be a restaurant, a meat market, and a grocery store. On the whole, you can get some good buys here, but you have to be very aware of exactly what you're buying.
