I'm so happy I discovered Mermaids Garden during the pandemic lockdown. In addition to it being a…read morefish market, you can also join their fish share and pick up fresh filleted fish each week from a local pickup spot throughout Brooklyn. The fish is mostly local and all sustainably caught. It's $21.50/week and you find out what the weekly fish is the day before the pickup. They tell you where your fish came from and even the boat that it was caught on and some great recipe suggestions (often NYT Cooking recipes- -apparently Melissa Clark is a customer of the store). They also have special items (usually shellfish) available most weeks. Having to celebrate several holidays in isolation/just the 2 of us, we really enjoyed being able to make it special with caviar and shrimp cocktail all from Mermaids Garden (special items). If you go to the shop, the prices are definitely higher than the norm but what you are getting is far superior ...and how many shops can tell you the name of the boat on which your fish was caught and in some instances how the fish was sustainably caught even if the type of fish had been over-fished in the past. If the above is important and relevant to you, you may not mind paying extra...or for the best value, join the club with the weekly fish share!

They had all the usual suspects for whole fish, but I have had such a hard time finding decent sized sardines, lobsters, branzino and crab in one place. The prices were a tad higher than my local spot but being able to get it all in one place and better sizes made this a winner. They also clean the fish to perfection! Thanks for the Swedish fish for my son. We'll see you again soon.

Wrapping up their first week in a new location, I dropped by today to buy Branzini. They didn't…read morehave to travel far--just a couple doors down on the same block, and the space is larger with seafood on ice in full display. Their prices are noticeably more expensive than other places but no one should compromise when it comes to eating seafood. As someone who has had food poisoning a few times, I like to subscribe to this mindset. From Swordfish and Tuna to Shellfish and Filets, I was told they make the trek to Fulton Fish Market (in Hunt's Point, the Bronx) daily. That's good to know. There's also a freezer packed with frozen selections such as Snow Crab legs and Calamari. I would like to see more varieties of fish ( like Skate and Monkfish) while envisioning an addition of upscale gourmet items/seafood accompaniments other than Soy and Teriyaki Sauce. If you want to be assured of eating fresh seafood knowing you're paying slightly more, check them out. (I bought two Branzini for $31).

First of all, everything's fresh (unless it's frozen/prepackaged like their tuna steaks). I think almost everything ins locally sourced. They had some nice red snapper, and branzino. All different sizes, and for good prices. I picked up a small 1-pound red snapper (which they cleaned for me), as well as 2 lbs of their Connecticut mussels. They also had oysters, but they were Blue Points, which aren't my favorite. Got home and cooked everything, and it was quality all around. I now know that I can house 2 lbs of mussels in a single sitting... Cash only!

For as long as I could remember, this address has always been a fresh fish market. It has changed…read moreowners many times over through the years. In my opinion, there's nothing like a stand alone fish market (as opposed to those that have a little fish section in a gourmet shop) unless it's Fairway or a similar store. I absolutely adore seafood and it's also my favorite animal protein. I've been shopping here since forever and I really like their variety of seafood. There's even a sushi section (although I've never tried) that appears to be appealing and fresh. On my favorite food holiday--Christmas Eve--when the Italian (and my family) tradition is everything seafood (no less than 7), I always find myself shopping here. This market is very crowded around that time of the year. This store has fresh and frozen assortment of both shellfish and seafood. Mussels, clams, scallops, squid, shrimp, Branzino, trout, filet of sole, filet of trout, filet of whiting, sea bass, lump crab meat, king crab sticks, salmon, crab cakes and a lot more. I tend to stay away from Tilipia and Basa. You might notice at any fish market, it's the cheapest fish by the pound. And that's because it's imported from murky waters. At least that's what I've read and believe. In addition to a variety of seafood, there are various accompaniments & condiments such as cocktail sauces, Panko breadcrumbs, tarter sauce, fish fry batters, etc. I don't think they carry every variety of fish, but there's enough. And it's fresh. One thing to note---at times, they will sell out of certain fish. That's when you put plan B into place after the disappointment. BTW, I bought one pound of clean squid ringlets. I made a fresh sauce to accompany my squid ink pasta :) Good stuff here.

This was the last stop on my Brooklyn food tour…read more We went in and we're odd by all the canned fish packaging. They're really knocking it out of the park with the stuff. It's like a real revival of canned fish. They have every single type here. The person the cash register was super excited to about the different packaging as well. I actually think she's the one that pointed out that canned fish is having a Renaissance! Tons of olive oil and vinegar. Such a cool little shop with all sorts of delicacies. We got some cured Spanish ham and ate it on the walk home. I think it could've been a scene in a rom com.

Though I highly recommend you buy their baked goods the day they are delivered so they are at their absolute freshest! I believe they are freshly stocked on Fridays for the weekend crowd. I love their freshly shucked pomegranate tendrils well packaged and convenient for lazy folks like myself . Their cheese and olive bar is extensive and prepared foods - delicious and hardly a secret anymore . Particularly their rotisserie chickens which sell out fast most days. Try the salt and pepper chicken - a crowd pleaser or Adobe chicken if you're game for a hint of spice. Before you leave grab some drinks - my favorite is the Tumeric milk or matcha latte. The staff has always been sweet and friendly and they work very hard to make Union market the awesome spot it is :)

There is quite an assortment of Japanese items here but the quality don't reflect the prices. The prepared cold/hot items don't look appetiziing and fresh enough. For example, there was a curry beef cubes with rice Benton for $14 but barely any meat. I prefer tenichi mart over hashi mart. It is slightly $1-2 cheaper and fresher looking. Sadly, it is a fun walk through, but food is mediocre.
