Pan Seared Scallops with Baby Greens and Citrus Mojo Vinaigrette
Nancy C.

Stopped by to pick up some fresh seafood. Everything looked fresh and the serve was wonderful. The guy behind the counter was so helpful and gave some great suggestions. I picked up fresh shrimp, scallops, halibut and tuna. I made fabulous salad with the scallops and a shrimp pasta with the shrimp. I was talking to the guy (forgot his name) while he helped me, I told him that I love catfish. He told me they get catfish. Before I left he took my information so he can contact me when he gets it. I can't wait. Definitely worth the price for fresh seafood.

Lobstah!

Went there for take-out today and tried two "lunches"... lobster roll and mussels in coconut milk. The lobster roll (see my pic) was warm, full of big lobster chunks, and well seasoned as opposed to the other one I had (at a well-regarded place in Boston) which was heavy on the mayo and add-ins to increase the bulk. The mussels are reputedly the same as served at the late lamented Tiznow's... several didn't open but the sauce was so delicious I am willing to forgive anything. These come with a side, either fries or a salad. I chose salad and got specimen cups of Asian slaw and beet salad, both fine. The lunch also comes with house made pickles which were also fine; apparently in contrast to the menu these are only supposed to be served with sandwiches but the server cut me a break. During the few quick minutes I was waiting I perused the tubs of fish available. Maybe 30 varieties and fairly priced, to say the least. We have been buying from Rick at the farmer's market and rarely a misfire. They will also sell and shuck oysters for you at a buck apiece currently. Nothing wrong with that. Since this place is 3 blocks from my house, my personal star rating is through the roof. Any time I crave incredibly fresh seafood, or an appetizer of a dozen oysters on the half shell, I snap my fingers and it is done. But it's well worth four stars for the freshness, quality and value even if you drive some distance to get here. Minuses: this is in the bleak old Pepper's space which feels like a general store in the deep south. No seating if you want to enjoy your meal on the premises. But maybe that's how Rick keeps his prices in line. UPDATE: as of 10/24/12, the price of a shucked oyster has increased to $1.50. And so it goes.... Today I tried the ceviche and it did not impress... routine cuts of fish in bland seasoning. But there was some interesting marinated tuna and a fellow patron told me it was delicious.

Excellent seafood! This is a takeout store only though. Owned by a guy who's family are ocean fisherman down in Long Island which provides some of the awesome catches he sells. You can buy the fresh fish, which are all on display in the frozen display cases at the counter, to bring home and cook yourself or they will cook it for you there in the back. They have 3 kinds of chowder available too, my favorite is the Gentleman's Chowder which is a cross between New England Clam and Manhattan Clam Chowder.....Mmmmmm very good! For lunch today, I had the fish and chips dinner, which was outstanding. It didn't come on a roll though which surprised me but it was still excellent. The "chips" are homemade french fries which were also great. The dinner came with a nice serving of coleslaw as well and I very much enjoyed it too. The slaw was on the sweeter side like I prefer and not at all spicy hot like some others enjoy. Also got a small container of the Chowder and an ice tea. Lunch came to $20 which seemed a little high for takeout for 1 but well worth it as I enjoyed every bite of everything I had. Other customers in line ahead of me were all raving about the crab cakes too but I will have to try those another day. Service by the owner was excellent....friendly and personal. I expect I'll be a regular here, especially for the next month of Fridays during Lent.....and whenever I'm in the mood for great seafood after that.

Half-dozen of shucked oysters. Super fresh!!
Jenna Q.

Full disclosure: I had a LivingSocial, but I spent above it because the place was so good!! It was so nice walking in and seeing a really fresh seafood market. I have been buying mine from not the best sources (read: grocery stores) so it was lovely to have discovered a wonderful alternative. It smelt really fresh and ocean-y in there, but not fishy, which is great. Onto the food, I got the half dozen of shucked oysters, which were perfect size, amazingly fresh, I could have ate them forever. I also got the baked haddock with a side of bok choy and mashed potatoes. The haddock was really good and the portion was huge! I literally made three meals out of one. The sides were very good as well, especially the mashed potatoes. I also bought a container of sea scallops that I plan on using this week (haven't decided on how yet, but I know it will be delicious!) My only qualm about the whole thing is that since they do offer cooked food, they should have at least one or two small tables inside. There was definitely room by the window. Since it was the last day of November I don't know if they put tables outside or not in the warmer months, but they definitely should. It would also be nice to have a place to sit while waiting to pick up an order (though you can always call ahead). All of the employees were very kind and I had some nice conversations while I was waiting for my food. In all, would definitely recommend, and I will be back again.

Local artist redid their menu!

great seafood selection, fantastic fish and chips and fish, shrimp, and chips. The shrimp was a coconutty breading with Thai sweet chili sauce and tasted fresh. The guys are so welcoming and really appreciate the patronage during covid. Their local artist friend apparently made their mural/menu recently and it's gorgeous and so fitting! We also got a couple chunks of salmon and it was some of the best tasting pieces of salmon I've bought for myself in a while.

Ordered 2 baskets of fish $16/lb =$34. Got it home inedible. Broken pieces, thin flat ends of fillet, no real meaty fillet sections. Overdone, burnt, looked like been fried for the 2nd time around. Had I looked before leaving the store, would have refused it. Called to complain, said no problem we'll run a credit to your credit card. 3 more calls over 4 days got the same "no problem" reply. I gave up, no credit received. I wouldn't go back there on a bet.

So many choices!

I'm out of superlatives for Hooked, but since it had been a while since we had been, I thought it…read morewise to update my review. This is a haute cuisine place that is masked by the casual dining atmosphere. Seriously: top notch chef, original recipes, a core dedication to quality seafood, paired with a fresh fish counter and some prepared food to go. We usually go for something special, but tonight I decided to get an old childhood standby, fried clams (the Boston Basket) and the fish burger sandwich. I did not expect either to be as transportive as they turned out to be. The fried clams were as delicately done as I've ever had: not crispy, but not too floppy, with excellent breading. And while I prefer my clams naked, we tried all three of the dipping sauces -- a remoulade, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce. Now normally I loathe cocktail sauce and can take tartar sauce or leave it, so I figured we'd eat up the remoulade and ignore the other two. Still, I gave them little nibbles. Man! The cocktail sauce was like no other I've had, with a heavy hint of horseradish and a far fresher flavor than I've ever had. Then the tartar sauce -- genius! It had a delicate spicing, with capers providing a floral backdrop. That was only a preliminary, as the fish burger proved to be complex, with hints of multiple kinds of fish, and a fennel-based spicing. I ended up having that afterglow, as if I'd had a couple of cocktails and was sitting next to a fireplace, that is the hallmark of truly fine food at an advanced level. We also had the usual outstanding service, attentive without being pushy. I seriously think Hooked should consider splitting into two restaurants: one where the ambiance is upgraded to match the high caliber of the food, and another cheaper one that is strictly fast casual and takeout, and they'd more than double the business. There is a restaurant back where we come from in California, Turtle Bay, that did this with fine dining on one side and the quick, simple, and affordable food on the other side, with a big shared kitchen between them but with completely separate ambiances. That way I could come back more frequently, and still have the original Hooked for special occasions!

I finally decided to give Hooked a try after hearing many great things about their lobster roll…read more With that said, I'm glad I did because the food was delicious. To explain, I ordered the cold lobster roll with fries and it was great. First off, the lobster was tender, incredibly fresh, and they loaded the roll with it. Likewise, the roll was perfect. It was airy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. My only issue with the lobster roll was that it needed more mayonnaise. In the same manner, the fries were phenomenal. To make plain, the fries were scorching hot and seasoned to perfection. Also, they had a crispy exterior with a fluffy interior. These were simply great fries. Essentially, Hooked offers great lobster rolls and fries.

I still like eating lunch at Fin in Guilderland. I don't mind eating alone after spending the…read moremorning at the gym. The meals are wholesome and fresh. Fish tacos are my goto. They're "Korean style," which means they're served with kimchi. Normally, I substitute a salad for the taco shells since I'm diabetic but this time they were out of greens. So the kitchen served me flour taco shells which were toasted until they were very crunchy. They were actually really good. Kimchi on the bottom. Little sautéd chucks of juicy salmon on top. Since I ordered two tacos, the bill came out to $16. I think I'll order them that way again the next time I visit. Service is great. The staff told me it would take 10-15 minutes to make my meal. I asked if I could go pick up a few items at Market 32 at the other end of the plaza. They're so friendly. They said that would be fine with them. When I returned my meal was ready. It was piping hot. Perfect. Delicious. As always, Fin is clean and has very nice food displays. Business was steady. I was surprised to see that so many customers who arrived for take out meals were older men. They might be retired. They apparently have good taste in food. One of them picked up a dozen shucked raw oysters and left smiling. I look forward to my next fish taco lunch. Thanks, Fin.
