Fresh fish all the time, knowledgeable staff to help with menus and cooking help and a lot of prepared items to take home when you don't want to cook. I cannot go there all the time because I live a good distance from the store but always stop in the store when I am anywhere near. A real good place for good food. Definitely NOT supermarket fish at similar prices you will find at the supermarket. read more

Wow. Wow. Wow!! I am so thrilled that I happened upon this incredible fishmonger. Not only do they sell every single thing under the sun fresh wild caught. But they have prepared foods and a fryer so you can get a fish dinner, salmon, cakes, and a plethora of incredibly fresh seafood option. I'm sitting here waiting for them to fry my one piece fish dinner. Salivating the entire time and just admiring how much seafood is right in front of me. And the management is so delightful. I'm so impressed. This shop makes me want to move to Monroe Oh my goodness. A footnote: all the sweet treats like the baklava and the Halva are made by the owners relatives. I am stupefied at how delicious everything is. And I'm not even a tartar sauce person but I enjoyed this tartar sauce. read more

Great spot! Had the oysters and fish & chips, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I even got tzatziki sauce, which was a great addition. The best part? The whole meal was under $30. Amazing value, great food, and a place I'd definitely recommend. Looking forward to coming back! read more

I ordered 2 fish dinners through Grub hub and only received one!!! I contacted grub hub got a refund but my dinner was ruined!!! How can an order get sorted like this? Did the restaurant short the order or was it Grub hub error? read more

Great people and great seafood- always fresh and delicious! I recommend the stuffed shrimp.

I want to say that this is the best fish place in the state of Ct. Any review under five stars must be attributed to the previous owner. He goes down to the Fulton fish market and is getting the best fish anywhere. He has fresh Alaskan salmon among other things. And his coconut shrimp is so good. And on top of it all he's such a nice guy. And it's a small family business too. I haven't tried his fried fish but I will as everything has impressed me and I think I have very high standards. read more

Freshest seafood. Prices are reasonable, definitely worth it. Employees are extremely helpful. Highly recommend!

Very fresh fish and shrimp. We enjoyed the cocktail shrimp and the coconut shrimp. The swordfish and scallops were also excellent. Staff is very helpful and friendly. I find the prices comparable to some of the better local grocery stores (like a Caraluzzi's), but clearly the freshness is why we buy from this market. read more

Monroe fish market is a great spot for fresh fish and even prepared meals. The lobster rolls are $10.00. Are they the best lobster rolls I have ever eaten? No. But they sure did hit the spot and fulfill my craving. The soft shell crab sandwich comes fried. I should have asked- I like them sautéed not fried. My fault for not asking. The stuffed shrimp were absolutely delicious. 375 for 15 minutes and done to perfection! The seaweed salad amazing and the dolmas good too! The lump crab cakes were tasty. They do have sushi grade tuna and salmon for sushi making at home- we have to to try that now that I know they have it. It's a fantastic local fish market for sure. read more

Had the lobster roll and fries today and they were awesome. Those fries are the best I think I've ever had, crispy on the outside soft on the inside, just perfect. And the lobster roll was good too!! read more

The Monroe Fish Market is consistently excellent. Everything is fresh and the staff couldn't be nicer. So helpful. Try the stuffed lobster tail, a real treat. The scampi stuffed shell is my favorite. read more

Hello everyone, I've been coming to the Monroe Fish market since he took it over from the previous owners. The current owner has worked hard to make this business what it is today. The fish is fresh! The to go items are great. He has hot soups there daily as well. His staff and their customer service is fantastic. If you haven't been you need to go and try it and if you used to go here when the previous owner had it, you need to go back now and retry it, you won't be disappointed. read more

Monroe Fish market is still good and I occasionally eat here or actually more accurately I get it to go! But the quality isn't as good as it used to be. Last time I ordered from here I had a crab sandwich and it was a little for lack of a better word-- fishy tasting. When I first came here it was finger licking good! While I would not give them a five anymore, I still think they have tasty food but it's not a must go for me anymore though that could change. The food still taste fresh and they have a nice variety of seafood offerings. I may have just gotten them on a bad day the last time or two. I also need to try other things here because my experience is really limited to the crab sandwich and the fried clams. It's good to have a seafood place in Monroe is it really is tough to find that type of food here. I would give them a 3.5 out of five stars. read more

Very fresh seafood. We had the seafood platter, fish platter and chicken strips basket. All came with fries and the fish platters came with very fresh tartar sauce and lemon wedges. The fish was fried very light and airy and was not soggy and heavy. You can also buy fresh fish to cook yourself or they have prepared foods that you can cook yourself Plenty parking and they accept credit cards read more

We popped in for a quick bite on a weekday lunch. The fish and chips were great, the lobster bisque was delicious! While we were sitting they gave us a crab salad dip with some crackers on the house! The food was fresh & well priced. Will be back soon! read more

Great customer service, very clean, and a great selection of seafood. I try to patronize this business weekly. It never smells of old fish. The seafood is so delicious. I especially like to purchase the coconut shrimp and then air fry them at home for a quick dinner on hectic days. They usually add a free lemon to your order or a dipping sauce for the shrimp. I highly recommend this market. Besides fresh fish, you can also order prepared seafood. I have yet to try that. Someday. read more

Great lobster roll for the lunch special for $9.99. The fries are hot and crunchy. I recommend getting ranch dressing as a condiment. Many options for seafood including fresh lobsters, salmon, scallops,etc... Food is very good and tasty. The fish sandwich is okay but would recommend a smaller bun. 8/10... read more

Great selection of fresh and frozen fish, and lots of prepared foods and fish dishes cooked to order. They are friendly, helpful and fast! Fish n chips are always perfectly cooked. read more

I had to do some last minute holiday food shopping and wound up going here for some Little neck clams & jumbo shrimp. It was a very busy time of the day and there were quite a few people waiting in line but the staff was well prepared and well organized and I was in and out in short order. Both the Little necks & shrimp were great & I'll definitely go back. read more

First time here as I happened to be in the area. I ordered 2 swordfish steaks, frozen soft shell crab and a pound of steamers. I immediately knew something was wrong on the way home bc my car was smellllly. When I got home to inspect I discovered the steamers were mostly dead. No movement to the touch, smelled really bad and floating when I put them in water. I get 1-2 might be bad but I would say half or a little more than half we're definitely rotten. The swordfish seems fine but I've seen fresher at the grocery store and the crab is a bit freezer burned. Reviews look generally good on here so maybe this is because it's been slow with Covid but I would definitely check before consuming. read more

I love the fresh fish and prepared foods. Its a clean and friendly market. The lobster roll was the worst roll I have ever had - we threw them out! There was 1 claw, a knuckle, and a Ton of garlic .. Very disappointed! read more

I ordered the fish and chips, and the lobster roll. I was happy with the delivery and the food, so I thought let's check it out and by some fresh fish. Who ever was working there that day was no polite and not professional at all. The place itself is filthy, it needs to be deeply cleaned up. I left without buying anything ... it is a shame because I really wanted to like that place but filth and food do not go well together. read more

Amazing fish market in Monroe! It is just past the old Dr. Mikes and in the same shopping plaza as Carl Anthony's. This place is super clean, the fish is super fresh, and the employees are super knowledgeable! I can't say enough about the selection of fish and they also do fried fish, lobster rolls, and other lunch specials that are very delicious and quite affordable to boot! This is the place to go if you're craving great seafood to take home or to have them prepare and eat there. Still the best kept secret in Monroe! The service and product here is impeccable! Super knowledgeable and friendly staff and the freshest best fish around! read more

Hidden gem for your fish cravings. Just tried the food (mostly fried and to go), was good. Not a place to really sit and enjoy but take away. Pricing seemed good and everything from the meals to fresh fish you can pick up and take home to cook. read more

We have been coming here for years & have enjoyed the shrimp, lobster salad & whole belly clams, their cocktail sauce has quite a bite to it! Today we ordered fried whole clams. They were overdone, basically there were no "bellies" & they were chewy. I had some New England Clam Chowder which hardly had any clams. However the cooked shrimp was good. I am assuming today was an off day, especially since the owner did not take care of me. Usually we enjoy the food here. Not today sorry to say read more

Always a consistent experience with Monroe Fish Market. Staff is knowledgable and friendly. They are careful to respect COVID precautions and the food tastes incredible. Fresh fish is superb and their prepared dishes are excellent. Fairly priced. HIGHLY recommended!! - Erik - Monroe, CT read more

Great quality, nice and fresh, prices often cheaper than Big Y for sure! I will return even though it is a hike from living on the Housy in shelton. read more

Best fried scallops around. I'm over 50. I've had a lot of fried scallops in my life. These are so good. Tartar sauce is really good too.

Picked up an order on Friday after ash Wednesday. Got home opened up packages And found both our orders cut in half. Ordered the combo dinners. Menu said two of each item scallops,shrimp,stuffed clam,fish, clam bellies, fries. Got one of each. One fied clam strip, and really just a pinch of fries. If you want to be taken advantage of buy your food here. Also they took the phone off the hook,because they didn't have the help to answer it. So go in side order and wait 25 minutes. Thanks a lot read more

Most of the time I love this place , good prices and nice selection.most fish is very fresh . Today was a different story. Started with when I ordered fish and chips "well done please". Not even close, basically under cooked , very up appealing. Also today's swordfish was clearly yesterday's, at best. Smelly and mushy. I know it's a holiday weekend and your busy but come on, get some help and stop doing everything yourself. Everyone was waiting to long. Also the boss was wearing headphones hooked up to a cell phone and while I'm giving him my order he is answering the phone, and walking away from me with no"excuse me please" while I'm in the middle of talking, come on , I was the first costumer , the phone call would be second in line, but that did not happen . Let's try and do a bit better please, every time I walk in there I drop 60$ or more, in 10 minutes! Thank you in advance if you are responding . read more

Ordered via Grubhub. Food was fresh and on time. I am on keto and appreciate the fresh grilled scallops and spinach/ mushroom mix. It was great and a good bargain. Rest of the family had fried and it looked awesome. read more

The clams were over done and the slaw was like mush . The container was half open .This is my first and last time with this place

We came here for the first time, and ordered sandwiches for dinner, plus uncooked fish to have the next day. The fish sandwich was the best I have ever had. The halibut we cooked the next evening was outstanding. We don't live in the immediate area, but I am sure we will drive down again soon to try their other offerings. read more

Fabulously fresh seafood with a great variety. Their soups are delicious. From fried whole belly clams to lobsters...they've got it all. Wild caught King Salmon and the biggest dry scallops I've found, and all at a great price. read more
