    Perfectly prepared Lobsters from Midtown Catch.
    Ivan K.

    We couldn't wait till Michael and his team from the former Piscane reopened under the new name. The food is all just as wonderful as the old location. We love all the soups and prepare items. The fish is the highest quality !! We just had some really great lobsters cooked to perfection by Midtown Catch !! These are better than most restaurant lobsters !!!

    How much does cost?

    Depends what you're buying. Their live lobsters aren't cheap.

They generously donated trays of their shrimp cocktail, which were an absolute showstopper. The shrimp were incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and jumbo sized.

It is because of beloved community businesses like Dorian's Seafood that we are able to successfully support the women of New York. Their commitment to giving back is deeply appreciated and truly makes a difference. This kind of local generosity is why I am passionate about supporting businesses that care. I highly recommend Dorian's Seafood for their outstanding quality and their tremendous heart. We are so grateful for their support and I will absolutely be a customer.

I'm very particular about where my seafood comes from, so I did some digging and discovered Aqua Best. Steven, the owner, runs a family-focused operation, and the difference is clear: he and his team are exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. The market itself has a clean, inviting feel with no off-putting odor, which is a huge plus. Their staff genuinely knows their seafood and can answer questions with confidence. Aqua Best also supplies seafood to some of New York City's top fine-dining restaurants, which speaks to the quality and consistency you can expect. I decided to give them a try and left with Bronzino, Snapper, and Gulf Shrimp. All three were superb--fresh, well-prepared help in selecting portions, and clearly handled with care. If you're picky about seafood quality, provenance, and customer service, Aqua Best is worth a visit.

This spot came as a recommendation by a friend and has become my go-to for caviar The Noms: I always get 30-100g of their ossetra caviar depending on the occasion and how large my party is. Most often I get the 30g as a treat for one. Last occasion was for the Stranger Things season 5 finale on New Year's Eve. A steak and some mini potatoes made for the perfect girl dinner. In Conclusion: I've been going here since my friend recommended it in 2024. Love it for the quality and the price. I've been gate keeping it but now feel like it would be wrong not to share this awesome spot. Also, service is quick and polite and they took the time to answer all my Qs on my first few visits.

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.

I plan on making a Liberian palm butter sauce with a new twist by only using seafood rather than the traditional mixture of a bit of shrimp and fish mixed with chicken, beef and pork. There is a nice and helpful man who you tell what you want and he puts your seafood in a bag and prices it for you before you pay at the cash register.

It's honestly a seafood lover's dream. I highly recommend coming with a large group so you can try a bit of everything.

The lobster is a little chewy, but the spicy claws were very flavorful. All of the crab had so much meat and the seasonings were all amazing. Surprisingly, the iron steak was one of our favorites despite this being a seafood spot. The waiter did say to just check mark the paper instead of quantities, but they end up bringing you 2 of everything you order. The sweet & spicy fish is also very solid, garlic noodles were buttery, and even their iced tea was super refreshing. Could not recommend this place more!! Bonus: they play a great 2000s throwback playlist that got us singing along and dancing while we were peeling all our seafood to pass the time. Shoutout to whichever employee put that playlist together!
