Quality of the fish looks high, and there were a good amount of customers to make me the think they keep their offerings refreshed. Good friendly customer service.

I want to commend Angelo on a truly great seafood market. It is great walking in and smelling FRESH…read moreseafood-"not fish". I have been around seafood my entire life and as a food professional it is gratifying to find a family run shop that cares about freshness. Really fresh seafood should smell clean, mild, and reminiscent of the open ocean, completely lacking the pungent, heavy smell that people typically associate with "fishiness". Avenue U Fish Market is clean and creamy smelling, just like right out of the water fresh. I bought soft-shell crabs last weekend that were the best I have ever had in my 60 years. They were lively, plump and most importantly delicious. Angelo personally picked 4 of them for me and my wife. I wanted to let Brooklyn and Rockaway know that it is worth the trip to Avenue U Fish Market. Keep up the great work and shop local. Support a small family run business. Get the Soft Shells while they are available. Thank you Angelo, Adam Smith

The staff are extraordinarily knowledgeable about all the…read morefish, not just the origins, but will also give you helpful advice on how to cook and prepare everything. I know for a fact that their salmon is high-quality and delicious. One of the things I keep coming back for are the crab cakes. They get them from a local small business on Long Island I believe. They come frozen and you just have to heat them up in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or pan fry them for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Hard to find really good crabcakes and these are definitely worth it at $4.25 a piece.

Reliable, clean, and affordable fish market. I wish they were open a bit longer. It seems as though…read morethey're also expanding or at least undergoing some type of renovation based off of my most recent visit. I literally walked right past them because I didn't recognize them at first. It's not a HUGE selection, it's very small inside but they still have plenty of options. You can get bags of frozen snow crab legs, they carry frozen Caribbean lobster tails (spiny lobster), and calamari, etc in their freezer. They have tanks for live lobsters but I've personally never seen them when I go, I usually do go later though.. so maybe that's why. I like getting whole fish from them, they have Bronzino and red snapper, tilapia, fresh shrimp, fish steaks and much more. They also have a cute little section of seasonings and things to make seafood boils or fish frys, but they're a little pricey. Owners are always extremely nice and helpful.

I was bemoaning the lack of seafood in my neighborhood recently, when someone called me out on it…read moreand reminded me that this place exists. So I gathered my courage and stepped through the doors and boy am I glad I did. As you walk inside, you immediately notice the long stainless steel counter where a man stands expertly filleting something as though it's no big deal. On either side of the room, large cases full of ice reveal a plethora of sea creatures. Salmon, Tuna, Octopus, Scallops...Conch. Yes, conch. It's exotic. It's exciting. It makes me want to learn to be a better cook. The first time I came in, an Italian-accented fellow in front of me was buying up calamari, scallops, and shrimp. I immediately pictured a delicious seafood risotto and my mouth started to water. I wasn't that ambitious myself, but walked out of there with a decent sized salmon steak ($7.99/pound the day I went) that took me two days to eat. (Not that this is necessarily desirable with seafood, next time I'll buy a smaller portion). My next trip in I opted for a tuna steak ($11.99/pound). Both times, it was delicious. I'll never want for seafood again. Except for the fact that I'm supposedly cutting my food budget back.

Not only do I recommend this place, I highly recommend La Bella Marketplace!…read more They have THE best assortment of Italian foods from cold cuts to cookies; from ready to eat meals to heavenly breads! If you haven't tried prosciutto bread, you must try theirs. It is chock full of prosciutto. Mmmmm! They have a mortadella section behind their cold cut counter!! WHAT?!! They have pizza to go which is amazing. Do you like fresh pasta? Well you're at the right place. Almost forgot my absolute favorite: stuffed artichoke. OMG! It's worth going just for that. The olives are special. Not sure why or how but they are. A bakery to die for or a huge assortment of imported boxed cookies or candies. The down side to the marketplace is that before holidays it is paced! Did I say PACKED!! The workers are pleasant. The place is clean. Just like the song says: I'm in heaven!

Maybe serve whole pieces of pita? - cold appetizer - Mezze trio of eggplant salad , one of the most amazing tzatzikis I've ever had, and hummus. The eggplant salad tasted a little bitter to me. - my main was whole fried snapper. Nice and crunchy but a little bland. Small side salad also was a little bitter tasting. Lemon potatoes were a little disappointing. They could be a little more lemony. - friend had baked cod with potatoes and seasonal veggies. Desert was written on menu as strawberry crème brûlée but it was actually regular crème brûlée with small slices of strawberries on the edge. It was delicious. There has been a surge of Mediterranean restaurants opening in Staten Island and there is a lot of competition. There's a small parking lot in the rear so that helps since New Dorp is tight. Service was excellent. Clean restroom. Glad to see a large crowd dining on a Friday evening.

For appetizers we had Oysters Rockefeller and Avgolomono Soup. The soup was very good, though the oysters could have used more salt in my opinion. My Dad ordered a drink which, apart from being delicious, came in a very unique cup. The seafood entrees we ordered were tender and fresh, which I could tell because none of them had any noticeably fishy smell. The fillets I ordered were deboned flawlessly. I felt that the fish was cooked just right, and salt and pepper were provided on request. Great value at time of visit. Would recommend and visit again.

The…read moreenvironment was cozy and right by the water, the view was absolutely spectacular and you could see NJ from where I was sitting. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the manager of the establishment and he was very inviting (Peter). We started off with some drinks, I had the dirty martini, my aunt had a Lychee martini, and my uncle a red sangria. When we were seated we started with Thai Calamari, it was so tender and just the right amount of crisp with a flavorful sauce that wasn't overtly sweet. Next I had the beef shank with risotto and the Demi glaze to accompany this fall off the bone lamb was divine. The risotto was creamy and the perfect texture to accompany the meat. My aunt had the lobster stuffed crab with risotto (her favorite), my uncle had the chicken with mash, a classic. Overall the food, the service, the view, and the overall ambiance is definitely a winner. I would recommend this place as a good spot to come with friends, a date, or even a solo dine. Definitely recommend.

They also have valet which I would assume parks your car on the street as well. The place itself is cute, but it's small. The party I attended was in the interior of the location (there was another party happening outside). What I didn't like about the interior was that if anyone was dining in there for lunch/dinner, they had to walk through our party room in order to get to their seats. The staff also had to go through our room to get food/drinks to the other diners. There is also only one restroom for women, which there was always a line for. In regard to the food, the appetizers brought out were the crab and strawberry salad, the Asian ribs, and the octopus salad. This was all very good. For the entree I chose the rib eye. It was really good as well, I just wish there had been a little more seasoning, and also I requested medium but it came out more on the well side. For dessert we had the brownies with ice cream, and the Nutella wontons. This was delicious! Overall, I'd recommended this place for a small party or private dinner. But don't expect privacy.
