Very old school but very clean; almost no "fishy" smell; it's been a neighborhood fixture for years with good reason ... clean, your seafood fried (or steamed) right in front of you and served steaming hot; well worth a visit. As for the employees, they've also been working there for years; they don't over-fry your food (unless you direct them to fry it up "very very crisp"; they don't talk much it's true, but they respond to customers quickly and efficiently --- without much talking --- because at lunch-time and dinner-time there's often 8 or 9 customers lined up at the counter, waiting, so yes: they do have to focus on getting the food prepared and into your hands. read more

The man who service me had a very nasty attitude. I asked to have the two fishes that I bought fillet and the heads to be put separately. When I arrived home I found out that nothing was done as asked. read more

All of this time searching for everyday fresh seafood to purchase and this place has been in my backyard for so many years. Want to talk about clueless? Yup, that was me. Manuel's passed the first test. The walk in the door smell test. Not a hint of ammonia. Great sign. The hole in the wall vibe brings me to the truer than ever saying, 'Don't judge a...' you know the rest. Manuel's is so far second on my list of freshest Salmon I had the pleasure of preparing. As soon as I tasted it, it all made sense. The product turnover appears high which leads to consistently fresh seafood. The best way I can describe the flavor of the medium rare salmon filets I prepared were clean, bright and fresh. The upside of my cluelessness is, I finally found my new spot for fresh seafood. read more

Literally the best fish market. The fish and seafood prices are a bit high BUT the prepared food is very affordable. A fish sandwich is like $5 read more

Food is so fresh, great portions, good price for your money. I have used DoorDash each time I ordered, and will continue to do so in the future. read more

I didn't purchase any cooked food only fresh fish but I swear the person's whose review is "not currently recommended" was spot on! The 2 people 1 middle eastern guy who cleaned the fish and the old Asian woman behaved as if I was bothering them. The cleaner had a scowl on his face the entire time and appeared to have a major attitude. the old woman was running around like a chicken without its head cooking food and touching money, boxes and doors with the same gloves on. I tried asking her a question and she goes yeah yeah she didn't even hear what I said. The fish selection is very limited and there are no names above the fish to let the customer know what they are buying. The worst part about this experience was when I got home, I saw that my fish wasn't even cleaned properly fish scales and guts was all over the place. I knew I should have left when I saw the attitudes. read more

This place is my most favorite place to eat in the whole world! My mom has been taking us there since before I could remember and she's been going there since before I was born. We grew up around the corner from this market. I'm 33 now. Now that I'm older I makes trips here my self every time I come to the Bronx. I love this place, so many memories. read more

Amazing fresh food and quick service!! I have been going here for over 20 years and the quality hasn't diminished. I recommend this Fish fry spot to all Freinds and family. read more

I bought a fish sandwich here and for the price it's perfect. Just two slices of bread over 2/3 pieces of filet fish. Grab a beverage and you are set for a quick lunch. This fish shop is one of a kind due to fact that it sells fresh seafood along and can make it into anything you would like at the other end of the shop. Great business idea and they do get a bit of a rush around lunch. read more

You know, for a borough whose official motto should be: "This is why we can't have nice things!", it's a surprise a place like this place even exists. Its reputation proceeds even its existence because arbitrary people in my life on many separate occasions have expressed their love for the place. How could a joint, so unassuming, in a desolate area of an even more desolate borough become such a sleeper hit? Well, it's simple. The food's good and the food's cheap. It's a lot easier to think of this place more as a fish market as opposed to a restaurant. Because essentially that's what it is-- a fish market that decided to install 3 fryers. Cutting the middleman out, you can have your fish straight from the market, and it's a business model that's doing wonders. Being the mom & pop shop (I just realized that rhymed) that it is, its prices remain cheap; which is great because half of their menu actually consists of a type of steamed fish, complex carbs, & vegetables; a dinner setup you might recognize as a pretty damn good diet for bikini season. And if any of you are wondering, good fats contribute to the development of testosterone because that's basically what testosterone is made up of. A salmon a day, keeps the wife happy... and some tongue. What really tops it off for me, are the condiments. They make their own tartar sauce, juice their own lemons, and all the old bay sauce you could ever want. I think America needs to take a heavy consideration into officially switching regular fries with... Old Bay Waffle Fries. Like, regular straight salty fries should be something you have to ask for when you're sick of Old Bay Waffle Fries (which you never will get sick of). They don't do waffle fries here... that's just wishful thinking. Something to think about Manuel! Something to think about. read more

Whenever I feel for fried calamari.I stop at this Korean place. Is not just cheap...is great. Sometimes it get too busy specially in rush hour...but you get hot fresh fried fish at bargain price. read more

Manuel's Fish Market - Fried squid or calamari - Seafood Markets Near Me - Bronx, New York

I've been going for the past year about once every other week for take-out (dine-in is now back); I always get my selection steamed (flounder, salmon, etc.); along with steamed vegetables, no spice/no salt. Can't beat it for clean, healthy low-cal food; excellent each time. On the few occasions I get a fried basket, the Korean lady is excellent at timing the deep-fry: hush-puppies perfect golden-brown on the outside, steaming-moist on the inside; fried shrimp not overdone and rubbery like most other places. Well worth the trip, every time. read more

The place does not disappoint!! I personalize my order & makes it GREAT!! I have been coming for a while & will continue to Order

Great food, prices and service! Been going here for the past 5 years, 1-2 times a month! Highly recommend!!

The cleanest, fried fish sandwitches in Bronx. They have steam fish sandwitch as well. Fish (Talapia, Whiting, Flounder) is fried in front of you. The sell cra cakes, calamari, scallops and other items too. Have tried all the fried options and never had any compliants. Place is quiet you can eat it in sitting on the bench or do a take away. Place is close to my work place so I come here 2-3 times a month for lunch. They sell fresh fish too. Their prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended read more

No frills fish market decides to install three deep fryers and deliciousness ensues. $3.50 for four pieces of fresh fried whiting between soft Wonder Bread with all the tartar sauce, ketchup, hot sauce or vinegar I can handle? Yes, please. If you're thinking about grabbing fish there on a Friday during lent, get in line sometime in January. It gets crazy, and for a good reason. Great grab-and-go location with some limited counter seating and no-nonsense Asian service. Oh, and leave a tip in the big plastic mayo jar. They deserve it. read more

Who said you have to go to city island for good fried seafood. Very quick but it gets very busy during lunch hours but it's worth the wait. Great fried and steam sea food. Been eating here since I was young with my parents. Never disappointed and now I introduced my husband to it and he's in love with the food. If we want our seafood crave this is the spot very satisfying. 1 order is enough for 2 people to share. read more

i legit always come here for the steamed flounder and veggies which is always sooooooo good especially when i say to put extra seasoning and they do. and i get flounder cause flounder is the only available fish thats not farm raised. sometimes i call ahead and even tho they be lost sometimes they still get things done and have my food ready for me and most times i eat there cause then i take the train to work and im not trying to eat fish on the train and thats fine because i don't leave there smelling like a fish, the smell there is so subtle compared to other markets i been to. they are extremely clean. omg get the calamarrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii its soo fresh and delish i get it for my house and fry it myself and its restaurant quality calamari so good u don't even need marinara. definitely stop by for a healthy lunch if you're in the area read more
