I've been to this Fjord several times. Today is the first time I was dissatisfied with the product. I got a pound of halibut for $41, and 6 New Brunswick oysters for $12. The oysters were old and brittle - clearly had been dead - couldn't eat them, had no juice and an odd smell. The halibut had an odor, definitely not as fresh as what I'd expect from Fjord. Completely disappointing as I ended up throwing out my entire order. read more

Great place for a quick bite. They have a poke bowl bar right in front. Tuna was wild and declines. So fresh. Salmon wasn't but looked wonderful and fresh. Neida and Anna helped me and were lovely and knowledgeable when I asked about allergens. read more

$27 for a lobster roll on a 4inch bun. They use to make legitimate lobster rolls on a larger bun with more lobster meat and now they switch to a ridiculously small roll without warning at the same price. Have some integrity. read more

Fjord Fish Market - Extremely tiny lobster roll. Looks more like a slider. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Darien, Connecticut

I sent email and never heard back Don't care. Won't be visiting this establishment again. Wast of time with no food and bad customer service. read more

The sushi is really good here! The CT Roll is A+. Pork gyoza is great too. Online ordering/paying was super easy. The spicy rolls are actually a little spicy - delicious! read more

I CANNOT believe how fresh and amazing the fish and customer service are. Every question I have gets answered so well. They can clean whole fish for you in 5 mins, i've never seen someone do it so quickly and smooth. Best fish store in Connecticut. Unbelievable!! Party platters? WOW, decorated and great prices. Best catering menu as well. The freshest sushi in town made with love by Mike & Jane. Thank you Fjord Darien staff, my family and I ADORE y'all! read more

See all

Surprised the Yelp ratings are so low because I've only had positive/delicious experiences here! I've had the crab cakes and fresh swordfish to bake or grill at home. The spicy seafood dip is awesome. And the sushi is super fresh and top notch. Also love the cold lobster roll and oysters!! Great local seafood market. read more

Ordered sushi for pick up before they closed at 7pm. Showed up at 6:50. They sold my food to someone else!! Shocked! This is my second bad experience with this place. Please..someone open another sushi/fish place in Darien. We need it so badly. read more

My family and I tried Fjord's in Darien this past weekend and will not be returning... To start off, we reviewed the website and decided to visit the Darien location based off the the larger selection of in stock food advertised online. We ordered four fish and chips entrees, a lobster roll entree, two crab cakes and seafood spread. Once our order was placed, we were informed they ran out of cod fish (their online website shows a greater quantity available), and had to settle with fried tilapia (highly do not recommend). Our total for five entrees, 2 side crab cakes and a seafood spread was $108. In everyone's opinion the food was not worth $108, and if I can give zero stars I would! The only positive feedback I can give was that the fish was fresh. The batter for the fried fish was way too thick, almost like a breading and very oily. There were no "chips" in the order, as the original English dish would include, and the handful of fries were previously frozen. The lobster roll was average and very greasy. Each entree included a teaspoon of coleslaw, which I found quite ridiculous. If there wasn't enough for each order, it could've been left out. The crab cakes tasted like mush.. Leave it to the Maryland and don't waste your time with Fjord's... Lastly, the seafood spread was disgusting! I wouldn't feed it to a cat! If you want overly priced fresh raw fish, be my guest and purchase from Fjord's. Otherwise, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY & TIME, on their prepared foods. read more

Pretty disappointed. This location barely have any seafood for sale compared to the Greenwich location or their other locations. It's so tiny in there. They have clueless teenagers working there. considering their high prices they charge they should hire people who are knowledgeable about what they sell esp paying $60 lb for fish. Super expensive and overly priced. read more

Ordered DoorDash last night from FjordFishMarketDarien, they sent me two fishy, chewy lobster rolls, and the meat was covered in green roe slime. Emails were ignored, and my post was pulled from their facebook wall, so here it is. The New Canaan store is and always has been fine. The Darien store couldn't have cared less, it was obvious. DoorDash refunded some of my $73 for two rolls and one gyoza. Unacceptable! read more

I have always gone to the Darien location, and have always enjoyed great service and food. The fish tacos are AMAZING! It's a plentiful serving (3 tacos with limes, plus sauce on the side, as well as cole slow, then fries). And recently, wondering if I could substitute my fries for a healthier option of grilled vegetables, they were 100% happy to do that. They are my favorite lunch place! read more

I was here picking up some lunch. Decided to get some poke, because the lady in front of me got it, and looked pretty good. The guy who was serving me, decided to be very "generous" and put just a few pieces of fish ( let's be specific like 5 tiny pieces) on a big amount of rice!!!! I mentioned to him, that lady before me got much more fish. He didn't look happy, just added few more pieces. Will I come back? Probably not. They are trying to charge you double for nothing. Poor service:( read more

Love this place! Jonas is the highlight of my day when he makes me their ahi tuna sandwich! It is so fresh and delicious totally worth the wait or you can order it in advance like I do! I also have ordered platters of sushi for parties and they are amazing! read more

I ordered 1/2 Atlantic poached salmon for a Xmas party to augment the filet mignon that I roasted. The salmon was amazing, and the presentation beautiful. My only disappointment was that I took the trouble to order on my own silver platters and dropped them off. When we went to pick up, the salmon was beautifully wrapped in their on platter, white long and rectangular, which is attractive but didn't suit our table. We ended up flipping the salmon on a board and flipping back onto out silver dish. Why not just say you cant serve it on our own dish? It was an extra trip to deliver our own platters while cooking for 50. The shrimp platter- small size, was ample and enjoyed by all. The seafood is top notch here. read more

This place is fantastic! Awesome array of really fresh fish. You can see its high quality super fresh unlike some other options in town. The sushi looks amazing . Tried the fjord dip and will be getting that. The fresh dinners to go are really nice option. The dinners have great sides and are not over cooked so by the time you warm it up...its just right. So glad to see this great new business in town! read more

Interesting place. Food is quite good; service mimics the "soup nazi" on Seinfeld. Pretty sure I'm not going back as I'm tired of being snarled at. Other places combine good food with good service. There are plenty of better choices for seafood in the area. Avoid this store. read more

Only had the sushi and fish stew so far but very good. Looking forward to trying other prepared foods. Not enough fish lovers in my family to justify the prices for the fresh fish. read more

Okay, so in fairness I returned as I wanted to give Fjord a second chance. I had guests coming and the fish I purchased, I would give a 5 star rating as the guests said the fish was "the best they had ever had" However, My previous review and pet peeve continues...... I selected the piece- they wrapped and placed on counter and once AGAIN-instead of it being $35 it was almost $40. I am assuming they DON'T read reviews and as I mentioned in the last review, I always let it slide, due to being with someone or being tired after a long day at work or just didn't want to have to wait while it was unwrapped and cut to the amount I initially requested. I said "I ordered a pound of fish at $35 and this is almost $5.00 more" ?They asked "Do you want me to redo it" ?This time I said "Yes" and so they cut a piece off- it was still over- I asked them to cut it to the amount or to under the amount. I mean if they couldn't get close to the amount (By now it has become the principle of the thing) because, it isn't actually about a piece of fish being over or under-I could gladly accept that if, it happened once or twice but the times I have come here, it seems like standard practice to them. A way to get an extra amount of money on every sale. They have found a subtle yet sneaky way of making it over the weight by almost $5.00 EVERY time. I asked/recommended in my last review that they would weight the piece a person picked and then let the customer know at THAT point if it is over- Have the manager go to Whole Foods Fish Department and see how they do it- They weigh the piece in front of the customer and you can clearly see the weight- They THEN ask the customer "This is over or this is under- is that okay"? Most people gladly take it over or under- some ask for it to be cut to the nearer weight or ask for more to be added. But Fjord does not do that-I wanted to shop small and locally as we all want our community to work and thrive rather than supporting the larger companies But... Perhaps if I hadn't gone there twice a week I would not have noticed but on a budget and wanting the best and freshest fish for my health I went here and sadly no matter how much one loves the product, if the practices behind that product leave one feeling like they are being used for the profit not for the building of an ongoing reciprocal relationship- then the good fish just leaves a bad taste over time. read more

Great selection of really nice looking fish. Poké bar is what I go for. Sort of like a little chipotle style raw fish bowl where you choose your fish and toppings. I recommend the raw tuna over brown rice with everything on it except the kimchi. Last night I called in as I was getting off the train a few minutes past 7pm (closing time). They put together a poké bowl for me and stayed open a few extra minutes so I could pick it up. Have also had the lobster roll off the take out menu which is very good as well. read more
