Such a great experience at Finster Murphy's! I was looking for the highest-quality salmon and tuna to use for sushi, specifically fish that had never been frozen, and Patrick and Kathleen were incredibly helpful. They took the time to help me find exactly what I was looking for, suggested the best cuts and ways to prepare everything, and made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. The quality and freshness were excellent, the place was super clean, and I really appreciated how knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming they were. It honestly felt like a family in there, and even the way everything was wrapped and packaged showed so much care. I already can't wait to come back! read more

The fish here was unbelievably fresh and I love that they have such an abundance of options. I got a pound of the fresh flounder and it was some of the best I've ever had. Their prices are a bit high but still worth it for how fresh their fish is! read more

After a recommendation from Brownie's Yacht Diver, we headed to Finster Murphy's for lunch. When you walk in, it looks like a market, which it is. I am a vegan, so I wasn't hopeful. You see fresh seafood everywhere. We were greeted right away and asked if they had salad or anything non-seafood and she directed us to the side refrigerator case. Wow! They had grilled eggplant, red pepper, artichokes, marinated fava beans and more. I asked for some beans, 1 of each of the above. She asked if I wanted it on arugula with lettuce, tomato, onion and their house vinegarette. I said yes. My husband got the fish & chips. They have a variety of bottled drinks. They have a few tables inside & outside. I personally enjoy the market/restaurant atmosphere. When you can see their fresh veggies, herbs and more, I feel better about what I'm eating. When my plate came out I was shocked. It looked so pretty and the roasted veggies were chopped. I fully expected them to just be on a plate, not plated as an upscale restaurant would be. My husband's was as expected for fish & chips. He was pleasantly surprised the fish was breaded, not battered and not greasy at all. He ate 1/2 of his lunch before I thought to get a pic of his for a review. He bought tuna salad to go. This is fresh tuna! NO cans. She even asked if we wanted a bag of ice to keep it cool. We will definitely be back! read more

Since I found this place I go once a week. Never again!!! I'm not going out of my way again for rude service. There are plenty of other fish peddlers in town. read more

Although this place is a fish market, I recently learned that it also will cook and serve food. They have a great variety of local, fresh caught fish and it's fairly priced. Today I ordered grilled mutton snapper and lobster tail. It was phenomenal and couldn't have been more fresh or tasty. read more

They say they're open until 4. Got there at 3:20. Stood for a while, until we asked and woman said kitchen closes at 2. Wanted to ask if we could at least get a sandwich but she had already moved on. Please have accurate hours posted online and one the door. And maybe, throw us a bone - ask if we want a sandwich or anything ready made. read more

I wanted to give a 5 star rating so badly because the seafood we buy here is always fresh BUT the other day my husband and I spent $300+ on Stone crab claws and steamed shrimp for lunch (which we do 1-2 times a month during stone crab season). It was pretty warm outside so we decided to eat inside since all the tables were empty. We took the four top table since we wanted extra room with all the food we had gotten. The server informed us that the owner said if a group of 4 comes in we'd have to move and give them the table. We just spent $300! I was offended. I mean if the place was full I could maybe understand. We asked for him to reconsider and she returned and says no. So we sat outside. Needless to say NO ONE ever showed up for that table. I felt there was zero appreciation for our patronage. He walked by us a few times and not once said hello or check in or thank us for being their customer. He has terrible customer service and that trickles down to his staff. Very disappointed and it resaltó jest a bad taste in our mouth. read more

Friendly people. I loved the food. They have the best fresh food. You have to go. Cute quaint little place little tables you can walk out with fresh seafood or they'll prepare it right there for you. It's really really really good. read more

Just walked out of there... I just moved to the neighborhood and enter with my service animal and was immediately met by a rude judge mental lady who said uhh we don't let dogs in here... where there's like food being eaten. And I said he's a service animal and she just stared at me... my boyfriend proceeded to take the puppy outside and all the customers were staring at me and she just kept staring at me and wouldn't say anything to me or ask if I needed help so I walked out.... A service animal is allowed anywhere and he has proper documentation. Lastly, he was just in the supermarket and butcher next door and they were thrilled to have him. We will never return. Customer service was abysmal. In the case that someone does bring in a dog that's not a service animal there is a nicer more courteous way of handling the situation instead of causing a scene and being nasty. read more

Excellent fish. Excellent service experience! Great selection of fresh fish in the case to take home, or to have prepared for you. Also, there is a menu board with a variety of daily specials. I was highly impressed with the wild Faroe Island salmon which I had simply prepared grilled with grilled asparagus. I also had to sample the house made cole slaw (excellent). Excellent proactive service, and a super clean dining area inside as well as outside tables. Def will be a repeat guest. This place has me hooked... Day 2 for lunch. Halibut. read more

Finster Murphy's - Simply grilled wild Faroe Island Salmon. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Solid local specialty fish counter. We came in search of stone crabs, and ended up leaving empty handed, but we did enjoy what they had to offer. The vibe is old school fish market restaurant. There's a big L shaped counter with all sorts of fresh seafood from local snapper and shrimp to lobster, crab and some prepared dips and salads too. Service was prompt and informative and helpful, but we had a one track mind that day and only wanted stone crabs for a special meal and , well, they were out of stock. We agreed that we'd come back for other items if back in the area. read more

Finster Murphy's - Blackened swordfish and arugula salad with the house lemon dressing - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Incredibly fresh fish market - with many different kinds of seafood. It may seem expensive, but once you realize the almost EVERYTHING is sushi grade, it certainly explains and justifies the price. We got 9 jumbo wild shrimp - u count 5 ($29.99 per pound) , 2 lbs wild Norwegian salmon ($32.99 lb) , 1 lb tuna for sushi (can't remember cost). and it was about $130.00. Excellent customer service! She offered to steam the shrimp for me, but I like to do it so declined. Shrimp was fantastic! Made an amazing shrimp cocktail. Salmon was awesome (roasted with shallots and herbs de Provence) Tuna (shaved thinly) with fresh wasabi and soy sauce was enjoyed by everyone. Definitely a special meal and we will go back again when we are in town and craving fresh seafood/ They also have a variety of daily lunch specials that they serve. Will have to come back and try those as well. read more

Stopped in off the street- amazing crab salad sandwich- beautiful fresh crab on bread with the slightest grill char- tomatoes and arugula. Very fresh- yummy- fancy. read more

I was on my way elsewhere but stopped by to take a look at their seafood selection thinking that I'd pick some of it up on my way back to take home. And though somewhat out of line in price it didn't look bad and everything seemed pretty good until I ran into the worst attitude problem by a staff member I've ever encounter. While looking around, I pulled out my camera, started taking a couple of snap shots, when all of the sudden I was rushed by a staff member with "What do you think you're doing....we don't allow pictures in here." He then went on into a short rant that it was a place of business for the sale of fish, not for taking pictures of fish. Well sheezse! I was sorry I ever ventured into the place and merely left. I left my car parked in front, went about my original business, returned for my car a couple of hours later. When I got into my car, which was still parked in front of Finster in an unreserved mall parking space, out of store comes the same ornery Finster staff member with a pen and paper going behind my car and making a big deal of writing down my license plate number, which of course I could care less about. He was just continuing to be the stupid a** jerk that he is because if he really wanted to know who I am, I would have been more than happy to tell him plus probably let him know that his silly intimidation tactics don't work, at least not with me they don't. As I've said, their food selection isn't bad, but really nothing exemplary, far short of what they have at Fish Peddler on Commercial, nothing better than you can find at Whole Foods or Fresh Market, and with price taken into consideration, not even on par with Publix. Obviously, I'll never be back, and though I could have probably said their offerings are OK, Three Stars, the attitude is so bad, I can only go a One Star, Eek! Definitely a place I'll be avoiding in the future. read more

This is the best seafood market/lunch spot anywhere! If you're in the area during lunch and *don't* stop here...well...your loss. It's not inexpensive but it's easily worth every single penny. Menu changes daily so you can get different fish and absolutely amazing soups/chowders every day of the week. The place is impeccably clean and you'd never know a fish was on the premises if you walked in blindfolded. The fish is so fresh it still flaps in the display case. They also have toro in both bluefin and salmon. I'd recommend a dish but everything is so good it's hard to choose. We eat lunch there every day and often took away more to cook for dinner. All you need is salt & pepper and some oil or butter and let the fish shine. There is outdoor seating. They also serve and shuck fresh oysters and clams. The staff is always friendly and make sure you're taken care of. Kathy is an amazing cook. You won't regret stopping in to give them a try. read more

First visit since moving down from the Northeast. VERY CLEAN throughout. Nice display of fresh, wild caught fish. Sides and specialties abundant. Young man at counter service was very pleasant. We were looking light and bought four of the scallops. They were HUGE. We did our typical sear on both side and light oven time to a glisten inside. Sweet, tasty and large. Some of the best we've had and we travel a lot. Will be back weekly for our seafood night needs. read more

Their fish is really fresh. I had the fish & chips and it was really delicious. Apparently on Fridays they offer new England clam chowder which is supposed to be great. I haven't had it yet. The place is a fish market with a few tables inside and outside. The kitchen is open till 2:30pm every day. I highly recommend this place. read more

Wow what attitudes at this store. Go down the road to the new fish market and be met there with good seafood and friendly staff. First of all not very covid safe, I saw people in the back without masks. Second, conservative propaganda on the display case. Really not necessary even if I agreed with it, which I don't. Never stepping foot inside this establishment again. read more

I can't speak to the quality of the food. I went in and saw immediately that they were blatantly flaunting the use of masks under "patriotic/anti-oppressive" pretenses. As private business owners they are entitled to do as they please, but I choose not to patronize. I am only taking the time to write this review because l am offended as a veteran that they are using the flag to justify what they are doing. read more

Always great. Freshest fish and everything seafood. Will remain an enthusiastic customer.

I think Marqus and I always have exact opposite experiences. I went here on a suggestion from my friend, who goes here all the time!. She also told me they have a small restaurant where you can order fish on top of salad, etc. She loves it here & she's a tough cookie....so if she likes it that's saying something. Their fish selection is to die for; albeit, very pricey. I went last weekend and picked up: Halibut, Grouper, MahiMahi, and Shrimp as large as my head. Pricing was around $29/lb and I got around 10-12 ozs each. Everyone was very friendly, they will take the skin off for you and devein if you want. And the offer you a lime or lemon to boot! I cooked the fish last Monday night and it was amazing, I mean just amazing, not a hint of fishy taste, moist delicious, better than I have had in a restaurant. read more

Amazing fish and always fresh! What I like most about this fish market is that it's consistent. I've never had a bad experience. Their fish comes in daily and so their assortment changes, which is nice. They also will cook it for you if you are like me and prefer not to ever have to use your kitchen :) They have a small grocery section with select vegetables and sauces as well. Service is always friendly and they are educated on their selection if you have questions. read more

Went in for dinner around 4:00 and was informed they closed the kitchen at 2:30. My grandbaby needed to use the restroom, so down the hall we went.... only to be chased down by a man firmly informing me the restrooms aren't open to the public, only for their patrons. Wow read more

1) One of the few fish markets open on Sundays 2) Immaculately clean 3) Extremely fresh seafood 4) Very helpful staff ... OK these were the pros. Cons are if you don't know the market prices you could end up dishing out more than your pocket holds. Some items are reasonable (on the high end but worth the quality you are paying for). Others are insanely expensive relative to Wholefoods and Fish Peddler East on Commercial. That said - check it out when you feel like top quality fresh seafood (oysters, clams, squid, salmon) They got it all! read more
