Small neighborhood spot that's been around for years. Prices are reasonable, and the food is consistently good. The fried options are a standout for me, and the broiled plates are just as solid. They also make a great sweet tea and lemonade mix. It's a very basic, primarily takeout setup with limited space. Everything is cooked fresh to be order, so while you wait, your clothes will likely pick up that fresh fried aroma. I normally wait outside. Service is prompt, friendly, and efficient. read more

Devin's Fish & Chips - Fried shrimp and catfish basket - Fish & Chips Near Me - New York, New York

This is a very popular spot and has been in the neighborhood for a very long time however, I found the food to have a more fast food vibe while tasty. Not sure I'd eat here often read more

Born in Harlem I don't know how i missed this place. We have very few black owned fish and chips places left. Devin's fish and chips is more than just that, broiled Catfish opposed to Fried, is out of this world. i am not a OKRA person so i decided to give this a try OMG I am hooked!!! The fried Shrimp as well as the okra were both lightly battered and seasoned very well, using very little salt, if any at all. The rice with olives, capers and chickpeas is incredible!!! Harlem is so lucky to have this place. Great job after over 40 Years in business, I can see why. Take out only, couldn't wait to get home to throw down.... read more

I had the worst fish and fries dinner the other day. The fish tasted unclean and spoiled, though I couldn't tell at first since it was cooked. I called the restaurant and spoke to a woman, a spokesperson, who said she would notify the manager on 03/10/2026, but showed no interest in offering a refund. I ate the fries, but the fish was terrible. I didn't read or check the reviews for this location. read more

This was the worst takeout I've ever ordered. I cannot even believe that this restaurant packed this BS up and felt it was acceptable to serve to a customer. I got the shrimp dinner with fried okra and green beans. Everything was bad. The shrimp was SO overcooked, it was closed up into tight, rubbery little o's. The green beans were also EXTREMELY overcooked to the point where they' were wrinkled and shriveled up. A couple of them were so burnt they were literally black. The okra should've been packed separately, but even aside from the sogginess from all the oil, the couple of pieces I tried to eat were woody. I was so hungry and I hate wasting food, but this belonged right where I put it: in the garbage. read more

Delicious! a bit greasy for my taste, but that's Harlem! On-time, hot, and tasty! Great service, and decent prices. I usually opt for healthier, lighter meals, but when staying in Harlem, that's hard to find. LoL. I had the grilled Salmon entree, and it was more food than I expected tbh. Was enough for 2 ppl! But yummy! Memorable, and super delicious. read more

Awesome portions and delicious fish and chips as always. I often check out Devin's when I make the trek to Harlem. Typical-When it's busy it's slow but when there's no line, it's fast. I don't eat certain foods so I cannot vouch for the entire menu. read more

I thought they had turned over a new leaf! I was excited to get their catfish yet again but however when I opened up dinner, it smelled a little unusual. Why? Because it was the wrong fish! I called and the guy that took the order said that was what I ordered!!! I ALWAYS order CATFISH! I don't know or want to know anything else on the menu! They know my voice and my order because I always order the same thing! Talk about rude! I give you guys a $5 tip only to get something I can't eat? I'm having a conversation with you and you walk away from the phone and then hang up? How NASTY! Just Fish is a great place for me to go to now. I was your best and most loyal customer. Time to fall in love with another business! What a shame. read more

Time is too long, food is mid at best. How does a place that sells seafood not have lemons?? I heard it's under new management. Will not be going back. read more

The shrimp & chips were good. The batter is tasty. Extra Tartar sauce is extra $$. It's is also delicious.

I've order from here a lot The food is fresh and I really do enjoy it. I under your love across from this restaurant and they use to off homemade tarter sauce which just raise the experience of the food Since moving away, I have coveted that's experience and can not understand why they don't offer the opportunity to purchase the home made tarter sauce. This situation has deeply bothered me because the food doesn't slap without the homemade tartar sauce. I've been salty about this for a long time but I realize that I still this is by far one of the best fish joint in nyc. My apologizes I strongly recommend that squash and okra but never get them in the dish with the salmon together because the battered okra ends up soggy. read more

First and foremost I was recommended by a friend of mine and I highly recommend coming here for a quick bite! Coming here gave a nostalgic feel as they operate the old fashioned way, come in, wait to be attended to, state what you want, you are given a ticket with your number and your number will be called at a timely manner. Bring cash as they do not accept credit cards. Love it! The food was delish! I had the fish and chips and the fish was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Definitely coming back for another order and to try their Spanish rice and tostones! 10/10 read more

Devin's Fish & Chips - Fish and Chips - Fish & Chips Near Me - New York, New York

I had shrimp and fish comb with fries. The whitings were VERY VERY small. Along with the tiny shrimp. It looks like popcorn shrimp. I had asked for crispy fries. They were halfway cooked. Food had no SEASONING. It's not worth the $20 it cost me. read more

Gross! My delivery was covered with oil and vegetable juice, every bag was leaking liquid. I ordered asparagus and string beans, The vegetables were limp from over cooked, saturated in oil and Lukewarm. The fish wasn't well prepared, only grilled on one side. Everything tastes the same like oil cooking grease and seems like everything is pre-cooked, definitely not good for a "seafood restaurant." I don't know if it's even safe to eat, but I am recooking half to make it hot and see how I feel after first bite. read more

I found this place by accident, but I think it was fate. I needed to get some fish for an event, and called a few in Harlem, and this one seemed the most professional. I decided to call them up, since I needed fish less than 24 hours later. I spoke to the manager, Maritza, who seemed very nice. She told me that I would need to come into the store to put down a deposit. I didn't realize they only took cash, so that was a bit of a drag. I returned with cash, and was told that my order would be ready the next day at 1 PM (50 pieces of fish for $130). Let me just say, this fish was absolutely delicious! It was light, flaky, and packed with flavor. It was a bit hit at the event, and several people asked where I bought it. Devin's, you held me down with that fish, and I will definitely be back--to try the shrimp! read more

This place was a huge disappointment. The catfish tasted very "fishy" as if it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned or maybe it wasn't fresh. My main complaint was the asparagus. I was given two sprigs cut into tiny pieces, and this was considered to be a side. To add to my disappointment, the taste was sour. How can asparagus be sour? If they didn't have enough to sell, I would rather the restaurant tell me they were out of this item instead of selling me veggies that should have been thrown away. I may give them another try after the pandemic has subsided. Maybe this is hindering them from putting their best foot forward. They definitely didn't make a good first impression. read more

Devin's Fish & Chips - This is a side of asparagus? Two sprigs cut into pieces! - Fish & Chips Near Me - New York, New York

Staff is cordial but did not receive any ketchup (or extra as requested but received no ketchup at all), as well as no hot sauce at all and one Tatar sauces . with requests pfor sauces. However, the fried okra is delectable! The asparagus is delicious! I am eating both now minus the fish. Your Veggie game is stellar! Please honor request for condiments and extra condiments! Just ate fish and it kicks butt too! Please honor condiment request! read more

food was amazing. everything was fried and seasoned too perfection. I found my new seafood spot

I like going to this place to order food, I've been eating here with my family for a while. They're food is fresh so they cook it and prepare it well. The salmon had bones in it but that wasn't too much to the point where I couldn't handle it. The salmon was very good along with the rice. The rice wasn't dry and it had the right amount of juices to it. The sweet plantains were also pretty good, they were a little bit dry but some weren't dry. I definitely recommend getting this, and they offer the salmon to be cooked two ways, fried or baked. There was a bit of a wait time for the food because the food was fresh, overall I give the food an 8/10. read more

Devin's Fish & Chips - Salmon Dinner - Fish & Chips Near Me - New York, New York

The only fried shrimp I trust and love is from this place and Gio's in Martha's Vineyard. Yes, you WILL wait in line. Yes the wait WILL be long. Deal with it. This is a small mom and pop shop that has been in the neighborhood forever. The food is delicious and you can tell that it's all homemade. I love having fried seafood without a lot of batter and this place does that perfectly. Anytime I am in the area I brave the line and I get an order of Shrimp and Chips or spanish rice. I know this place was down for a while after the fire but I am so happy they are back and able to continue to service the community amongst all the gentrification. See you next time Devin :) read more

Yelp did not steer me wrong. This really is as good as it gets. I wish I did not live so far away because I would be in here at least once a week. The customer service was on point. I appreciated not having to deal with attitude just to get good food. Even the broccoli was slammin. Can't wait to go back! read more

Excellent, food as well flavored and the fried calamari and shrimp were done just right and not greasy.

Been going to Devin's for almost 20yrs. Enough said . Awesome tasting food...I recommend to everyone

An excellent fish and chip spot in Harlem that has satisfying food that doesn't feel like a belly bomb afterwards. The crackermeal batter used on the fried fish is lite and crispy as well as perfectly seasoned. The fries are homemade and delicious. Devin's food is worth the wait. read more

I was in the area and wanted to try something different. I read the reviews and decided to get fish and chips. When I got to the restaurant it's was a hole in the wall. I was not impressed with the decor but there was a line of people ordering fried fish. I ordered the shrimp and fish combo with fries. I had to wait a little for the food because they do not have it pre-prepared before you order (the food is fresh). I was not disappointed with the flavors and the freshness of the food. It was delicious. This is by far the best fish and chips I had in a while. read more

I've been wanting to give Devin's a try for years - since I mentioned discovering the 'other fish place' a few blocks down to one of my friends. She, a local, said to forget the other guys and urged me to go to Devin's. Unfortunately, for years, I couldn't due to a devastating fire. But, the rumors were true: Devin's has reopened - And they are amazing! We had the Afternoon special (2 pcs of fried fish, 7 pcs of fried shrimp, and a bunch of chips) twice because we enjoyed it so much. The fish (white fish) was done right: crisp yet moist and solid. The shrimp was also great as were the chips, which tasted like freshly cut potato. You walk in and immediately run into to ordering counter. You place your order and you wait. (Some people wait by the counter -which can cause quite a bottleneck- while some others take one of the bar stools in the back). Of course, the volume of customers can be pretty hefty so service can be a little bit slow because everything is made to order (even the steaming of your seafood or veggies). But, the wait is worth it. Cash only (for now). read more

*update* I went back and damn it's still sooo frikkin' delicious. I got the lunch special (two pieces of fish, 7 shrimp and fries, plus some onion rings and HANDS DOWN the BEST calamari EVER. Here is a picture. Don't wait. Just go drown yourself in seafood-y goodness. So I was walking out of school when these two gentlemen who were eating something walked past me. IT SMELLED SOO GOOD that I had to overcome all the voices in my head telling me not to, and run half a block after them to find out where they got what they were eating. They sent me to this place, and all I have to say is WOW! Have you ever had a wish fulfilled?!? Because I did. I took 20 minutes to order because I couldn't decide what I wanted, but in the end went with the Calamari and chips. The calamari was perfectly seasoned and crispy, and the chips are hand cut and fresh. REAL food guys. Actual potatoes - not the crap you get at McDonald's. I will be dragging my friends back with me next time so we can all order different things and I can try more of the menu. read more

Still good after all these years !! Fish's and shrimp is my Facebook but baby try they catfish and sea bass !!!

This place burned down a while back and I honestly missed it. It's close to home and their food has never disappointed. I've gotten catfish, shrimp, fish, you name it and they've all been good never a complaint. read more

Call me a simpleton, but the fish sandwich is honestly one of my favorite foods. While the delicious concoction can be found on menus from restaurants like McDonald's to wannabe seafood havens like Red Lobster, I find that the best fish sandwiches come from tucked away hideaways like Devin's. Now call me a fool, but for years, I did not even know that Devin's existed. I was drawn away by the allure and expensiveness of Famous down the street...once I tasted Devin's however...I was sold! Rusty and I walked upon Devin's one afternoon after work. With some cash on us (they don't take cards), we decided to give the hole-in-the wall establishment a go. When we got there, there were not many people waiting to be served. After placing our order for one fish sandwich ($4.50) and an order of shrimp and chips, we sat towards the back and waited to be called up to pick up our food. We must have arrived at just the right time, because right after taking a seat in the back of the narrow and dimly lit eatery, a barage of clientele came in, shouting out tons of different orders. "Calamari!" "Potato Salad!" "Fried Plantains!" "Large fish and chips with lemonade!" Commuters, neighbors, school children, they all paraded in on the Friday afternoon demanding their tasty seafood fare. Thankfully, we got our order in before the rush, and although we did have to wait a little while, we were eventually beckoned for our giant servings of food. Nestled between two pieces of split top wheat bread, three pieces of golden fried whiting were waiting for me. I slathered the sandwich with spicy hot sauce and cool, refreshing tartar sauce to compliment it. The rest was history! The sandwich was perfect, the best fish sandwich that I had ever had! The fish fry was PERFECT. Not too salty, and the fish was so meaty and moist. I ate every bite. Rusty's shrimp was also delicious, and his fries were homemade. Also, the portions were gigantic. And for a price cheaper than Famous'...it also makes Famous' clientele look like fools. I don't think that I have to tell you, although I live around the corner from Famous, I haven't spent a dime there since discovering Devin's. And yes, while the service can be terribly slow, appreciate that everything is grilled, fried or broiled to order! The staff is also very friendly and honest. The plantains are delicious, the fried food is NEVER greasy or salty and I can't wait to try the famous delicious potato salad! I'm hooked! read more

I miss this joint like you don't know!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's small, dark, a hole in the wall, and not the prettiest of places. But, hands down, my #1 recommendation for seafood joints in NYC! Make sure you have a second to wait since everything is made to order. People say they have slow service...and they're welcome to their opinion. It's an allowable observation in a city as face-paced as NYC, where everyone wants everything instantly. But the charm of this joint is that, yes. You're good is gonna take a hot minute to come out. But it's not because they're not working or moving slowly. They're cooking your food with care and to order so it's right every time and always fresh. It's a nice break from the rush and bustle of NYC, because they work for you, but just don't rush about things. It's WELL worth it for the freshness and quality you get, IMO. The prices might seem high for some items. But don't fool yourself! My favorite meal is the salmon steak dinner. You get TWO HUGE salmon steaks, freshly seasoned and broiled right in front of your eyes! I almost always get rice and broccoli, which is piled high! I can always make two meals out of this suck, and it's less than $20! The fried fish is also good, and they give you some bread to stick it between, if you like. The scallops are quite nice. And they take the time to know the regulars (I got to the point where I was called Red Glasses, and it made me smile every time). I DO NOT go back to this area of town without stopping in and giving them business. SOOOO worth the wait time!! Go!! Now!!! (well, after you stop at the ATM, since they're cash only :-) read more

I've been living in the area for months, and my silly a$$ didn't make it to Devin's until today. On top of that? I'd eaten just an hour or so before! Duh. However, I need to get back in shape and that means I need to cut out the fried foods. I don't do them a lot, but I need to not do them at all except for every once in awhile. Devin's has steamed dishes. Red snapper is one of my favorite fish types and they have that steamed! Today I just ordered a steamed side dish. The wait was crazy long. The man behind the counter wouldn't smile to save his life, but eh, what can you do? The side dish? Awesome. I will be coming back. I'll see if I can call ahead because I already know what I'm going to order. The only thing that sucks: the wait. Everything else is great! Go, eat and enjoy! read more

I am so shocked at all the good ratings for this spot. Maybe they had a bad day when I went. I went here with my roommate at the time when we first moved into our apartment right across the street. Our gas wasn't working so we decided to eat out. The shrimp was okay, tasty and crisp. However the fish and the french fries, SO OILY. Fish were band, french fries were soggy. Literally at the same time, me and my roommates stomach started turning, and I think it was a bit expensive for the quality of the food. We did go in 2010, so I am not sure if the service and food had changed much since then. Needless to say I would not try this place again. read more
