If you're going for seafood, don't let the short old guy with a cap pick anything for you. If you…read moretake his advice or the crabs he chooses, you're guaranteed to wind up paying the most for the lowest quality ones. I went to buy in-shell scallops and he said to "pick the heaviest ones, they have more meat" but what he really means is they're packed with sand. Funny enough, he didn't try giving me this advice the next time I went to buy and looked in the crack to see if they're full of sand. Also went to buy female blue crabs and he wanted to choose them, he spent like 5 minutes digging through the bucket and 5/6 of the crabs were totally empty inside (you can feel if they're hefty when picking). No idea why customers aren't allowed to pick their own crabs but he can dig and dig and throw them around. I'm familiar with picking seafood and gave him the benefit of the doubt two separate times before I realized he's trying to sell off the worst products and that benefit of the doubt is undeserved. He got an attitude real quick when I told him I'd like to grab my own blue crabs so I left. Spend your money elsewhere.

Don't. Friday…read more Fry-day is "fish fry" in most African American households, an long held tradition in my family which was no different today. The fish market was packed today. BlueFish I bought two Blue Fish at $3.99 per pound and when I arrived home I was disappointed that it was not cleaned, heads off and tails on as I requested, but the weekend is here so I could deal with that, however once the fish was seasoned and fried, the fish tasted bitter in certain spots and this is a sure sign that these Blue Fish were not fresh. Return policy. I didn't find out about the return policy until I left the store. You can not return seafood that is cooked or seasoned and it must be returned on the same day. I bought Blue Fish around 7pm in the evening,cooked it around 9pm? The market closes at 7pm....How is a same day return possible? Disappointing. I will not be back, the fish was stale and the customer service lacked a lot, there's a better fish market on Fulton Street and Nostrand Avenue that I normally patronize, however I was in such a rush I visited this merchant, because it was close to home. BIG MISTAKE. Fish was STALE. Disappointing. Go somewhere else.

I saw them pop up on my Doordash a while back and was genuinely surprised when I saw that their salmon plate with a side was only $15. I just had to try them out and I wasn't disappointed. I've been a regular ever since. I will say though that the picture they use to advertise that specific plate is a TAD bit misleading. I order it often and the pieces have never been as big as what's shown, however, not a dealbreaker whatsoever. I actually called to clarify once, what they do is split their salmon filets into two pieces. I prefer extra garlic and extra seasoning but it's flavorful without it, I'm just picky. I only get their vegetables to accompany my fish because I fell in love with their cabbage the first time around. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, in fact all the veggies were so tasty. And the meal could easily feed two people. The pictures attached are of the salmon plates after I added my usual condiments which are always soy sauce & chili oil. I've also tried their fried porgy which comes with two whole porgies for $8 I believe. Insane. They were good but I prefer the steamed fish. The "fried" rice is the only miss though, it's just yellow rice and doesn't taste like much. Overall, 9/10. Highly recommend.

Fresh salmon steaks, fresh cod for stew or soup, thick cod for baked cod with miso-butter bread crumbs, fresh halibut with garlic rice and cherry tomatoes.

One way to tell a fish market is stellar? You walk in and…read morethere's no fish smell. And then you take a look at what's available and see that everything looks so fresh. Branzino is *the* place to get your fish if you live in Washington Heights/Inwood/kingsbridge. There's no place that seeks things this fresh or this well-priced. PLUS, the owner could not be more kind or knowledgable. Luciano will also clean your fish beautifully in any manner that you ask him to. If you live in the area, this should be you new go to!

The french fries were perfectly crunchy on the outside too. The woman behind the counter was a sweetheart and the whole thing with two pieces of Whiting, three scallops, and five shrimp cost $8.40 with tax included. I left $10 and still felt like I should have left more. It's a hole in the wall with two tiny tables so if you're looking for a place to take a date it's only good if your date is me... If you want atmosphere you're gonna pay for it and the food probably won't be as good as this place. They are also a fish market that sells all the same seafood that they fry up for you behind the counter plus more. So if you feel like cooking you can pick up the same quality fish by the pound. Cant wait to go back and try the calamari and the porgy!
