Captain Ben's Fish Market - Winner winner scungilli dinner - Seafood Markets Near Me - Freeport, New York

Very expensive. poor customer service. not worth the trip to Freeport! $52.00 got me a dozen steamer and one Red Snapper.

It is a great seafood store - I've been going there a lot more recently. The staff are friendly and the prices/ quality seem to be better than neighboring stores. read more

See all

I don't know why people bash this fish market. My sister and I, who live in Brooklyn but were brought up in Baldwin, love this place. The workers are incredibly nice, and the fish is always fresh. More important, unlike some of the other fish markets along the "Nauty Mile," this one is more spacious and has lots of open windows. I think that makes a difference when serving up fresh fish. Having been to all of these places over the course of my 63-year-old lifetime, I vote Captain Ben's for President - oops, writing this yelp review on November 4th, 2024. Forgive my mistake. It's a no-brainer. Captain Ben's is the best. read more

Just felt obligated to leave a kind word. Beside the huge selections, cleanliness, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. I have to thank the staff for going out of their way to be kind and entertaining to my 4 year old daughter. She had the time of her life and enjoyed the attention. We will be back Thank you again..... read more

Today I went to Captain Ben's Ive been going there since I'm four years old they literally robbed me the receipt and my charge was different than what was on the register and it was a charge of a difference of $15. They tried passing off of fish for another fish and charging me $30 for a small fish I am reporting them to the department of health to Department of weights and measures and the Better Business Bureau and consumer affairs. read more

Wow the seafood chowder was A+. The friendly lady at check out let me sample ut and it was TERRIFIC. Then i was checking out their cooked section: fried calamaru, deep fried fresh crispy coconut shrimp, large and small crab cakes, as well as other fresh seafood freshly fried. Drove 1.5 hrs to come here bc of their word of mouth recommendations and wow they were on par. I also saw the frute de mar and wow just like grandma used to make on Christmas. A must try read more

Captain Ben's Fish Market - Seafood Markets Near Me - Freeport, New York

This is my go-to crew with fresh catch, great prices and amazing service. Warm welcome every time i go there with my son. Know them by name and trust them. Started today asking for them to prepare for pick-up even though i could spend 30 minutes in there just because i love going down there. And, I cannot forget - best fish mongers around. Remember to leave a solid gratuity; they deserve it! Last stop on Woodcleft, but certainly not least!! read more

This place has an identity problem. It brands itself as having the freshest seafood on the planet. Far from it. We ordered a variety of items and most tasted like they were from the frozen foods section of King Kullen. Worst crab cakes I've ever had, the fries were ice cold and the baked clams were so heavily salted and smothered with bacon and breadcrumbs that I'm not even sure there were actual clams in those shells. The crab meat was sub-par and we were given plastic utensils and asked repeatedly for real silverware before we got it. The service is horrible and granted it was the first summer weekend of the season, management should have been prepared for it to be busy. We received our apps after our entrees, and drinks ordered didn't arrive until asking several times. On the upside, our server was apologetic and gave us a free drink and didn't charge us for the apps. This was the right thing to do, but it made me wonder how much money this places loses if they give away food every time they mess up. What this place actually is: a fun, carefree atmosphere right on the water, with hundreds of menu items so there's something for everyone. You don't come here for a good meal, you come for a good time. Think TGIFridays quality food and flashy, sugary drinks with a dash of Johnny Utah's silly vibe. When the sun starts to go down, the lasers turn up and the dance floor is where you want to be. Train your employees better and get organized. People want to learn and improve and there needs to be efficient processes in place to help them do their jobs. If you aren't going to change things, be true to who you are and tell it like it is. You do not have the freshest seafood on the planet. A more appropriate tag line would be, "Come for a bite. Stay for the sights." read more

Captain Ben's Fish Market - Seafood Markets Near Me - Freeport, New York

This is disgusting!!!!! Both my adult kids came to this restaurant and they were treated badly! My son was asked to wear a mask outside at the bar - which is the right call EXCEPT THAT ALL OTHER Patrons were who are non Hispanic were not asked to wear one. How dare you??? One rule for all !!!! So one rule for white Patrons and one for non white? If management is reading this I want your response. Again I don't condone not wearing a mask but you tell everyone to wear a mask. Btw my son did put his mask on and my daughter had one the whole time. My daughter spoke of how she was ridiculed by patrons. Boycott this restaurant. Disgraceful!!!! Who cares about the food is you are so biased. read more

My father and I have always had Captains Ben's as our go to when we go out on the boat and don't catch dinner. I have been going here since I was alittle girl. The guys are always helpful in there especially when it comes to cleaning and fileting fish. Strangely enough I cant leave here without their super fresh bread at the counter when you pay. Sadly I have to say prices have gone up and the quality of fish has suffered lately. read more

WATCH your receipts!! They up-charge $1 - $2 per item and give you something "free". I called them out on it and they gave me free jumbo fried coconut shrimp. Go to Two Cousins down the street. It's cheaper and they don't try to over charge you. You've been warned. read more

Wonderfully fresh seafood to take home and cook. However, we were sadly intending to dine there. The Manhattan Chowder and cold fried calamari. When I mentioned the chilly fried calamari, staff kindly microwaved the dreck. The accompanying cocktail sauce frozen. Solidly frozen. Soup not only yesterday's, chef must have been asleep. Hey, whaddayawant for 17 bucks? read more

Fish looked good till you cooked if ,smelled and tasted like let's put it nicely all went in the garbage will never go back.

I am so conflicted... We have been coming here for years. We have bought lobster, clams, whole fish, etc. What's up with the Chilean sea bass. I saw a worm several months back. How common is this? I was here Labor Day weekend. They moved to new store a just short distance away. Yet another worm (parasite?). I know this can happen with certain types of fish. I don't know why I did not say anything. How could they not see it? I ate at their restaurant once (pretty bad)., but always loved their store. I honestly did not know how many stars to give. The guys working here are very nice and once again, I regret not saying anything. read more

This review is about the seafood store, not the restaurant. Asked for five 2 lb. lobsters and they guy "expertly" fished out 3 pounders. I foolishly did not question. At $14.99 per lb.., this was a meal that would have been cheaper in a restaurant. And, they were tough to boot. I won't repeat this mistake. read more

i know someone who worked there. they had board of health there more ten once!! do not go there !!! and they do not pay there help for summer !!!! worst place ever !!!!!!! read more

I love this place! I go there for their lobster bisque, weekly. Even when they ran out, the cashier went to their restaurant and got me some. My friend goes there for their fresh fish. read more

Watch your receipts!!! they overcharge you, double charge you etc... I caught them twice- fool me once, fool me twice... Go down the street to Two Cousins, it's cheaper and they clean fish for free!! :-D read more

The market and the restaurant have poor quality food and I question the cleanliness. Look elsewhere for fresh seafood and dinning.
