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

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

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

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

Excellent quality of everything and the owner and staff are incredibly nice! Lucky to have this so close to me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Great place to buy fresh fish... Mahi-mahi, tuna and the owner said he would even place an order for octopus legs! Great service... read more

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

Our family has stuffed shrimp every year for Christmas Eve dinner, and this year I switched to Monroe Fish Market after a disappointing few years buying from another market that had really gone downhill. So delicious! read more

Very happy with my visit today, got what I needed to host dinner. Plus they peeled and deveined the shrimp for me.

Yesterday, my wife and I, based on reading a few reviews decide a lobster roll and fries would hit the spot. I went in the store, ordered 2 lobster rolls and fries, paid and waited in the car. It wasn't long before we received our food and drove away. Upon opening the boxes I immediately noticed the fries were missing. I opened the foil wrap to find a soggy bun with what seemed like old lobster consisting of mostly leg meat. It even had a grayish color to it. The taste was fishy and soggy......very disappointed. read more

This is a great market to buy seafood. One way you can tell that its fresh fish is that the store does not have a strong fish smell to it when you walk through the door. You can buy fresh seafood to prepare at home, choose from some great prepared dishes in their display case like stuffed shrimp, mushrooms, and clams. Plus there's a variety of delicious seafood salads. You can also purchase a container of fresh chowder or lobster bisque that's warm and ready to eat. If you're a fan of fried seafood, definitely try dining in (or taking out) something from their fried seafood menu. Everything on it offers great quantity and quality for the price ---cooked just right and does not leave your stomach feeling like you ate something that was fried in heavy grease. read more

This is the very best fish around! We no longer go to any of the supermarkets in the area- you just can't compare! It is always fresh and amazing! We actually make fish a part of our regular diet now that we have a place to get delicious fresh fish every time! If you like coconut shrimp- this is an exceptional treat! Thank you Monroe Fish Market- we are happy you are part of our community! read more

VERY good fish market ! .... Great selection of takeout prepared meals, fried clams, fish and chips, soups... fresh fish was right on the money (we bought Sword and it was awesome)... plus a wide selection of take-and-bake apps and entrees... we also grabbed stuffed 'shrooms. The hours of operation are VERY accommodating due to the fact that they are open Sundays. This area really needs this high quality fish monger. We will definitely be back again!! read more
