Cut & Paste, that's essentially what I could do when writing about Pete's Fish Market in Plainfield. It seems in the past ten years I have written four previous times about this Plainfield treasure and it's still the best in Central Jersey. The fish are fresh and the varieties seem limitless, as each season brings specialties. For every day fare for folks with little time, the cooked fish dinners are a great option. We often buy the steamed crab legs, and have NEVER been disappointed with their seasoning and texture. There's nearby ample parking for a short walk vs the long trek in supermarket lots. As an extra bonus, right around the corner is the Plainfield Donut Shop, which makes best daily pasties in NJ. read more

The prices were reasonable which was good but the fish fried was a rip off compared to the fresh fish that I seen on ice for sale! If you know fish then you know porgies are meaty! While I brought mi husband a porgies dinner they were over fired and not meaty at all! I guess I would have to buy the fish on ice and asked to fry that because they were plump and meaty to the touch! The shrimp was over breaded! Just moved to NJ and thought I found a great fish market that fry's/cook within place! I guess I'm still on the search for a good one!!!!! read more

I purchased 1/2 bushel of crabs for the 4th, picked them up the day before. I was told the prior day the price would be $90-100. When I picked up the crabs I had to pay $110 (I decided to pay the extra because we were expecting company). When we finally opened the container there were more than 2 dozen of the smallest crabs I've ever seen for sale. The bottom of the container was filled with very small claws. Please save your money, this is no way to do business read more

Pete's seafood is high quality, and incredibly fresh. We purchased clams and octopus, and both items were delicious. Pete's is now our go-to place for seafood. read more

You need to give this place a try if you like fresh fried seafood. Forget the menu hanging over the fishmongers head and just order what you want with a side of fries and Cole slaw. Pictured in my photo was a piece of whiting, 2 softshell crabs battered, fries and slow... Under $15. Enough said and delish to boot! The fresh fish is also excellent and reasonable, ample parking too! read more

Hometown staple. The "Billies" are by far the best, whenever I come home, I always get one to go.

Delicious seafood! Fresh! We are in Cranford and we now skip Westfield Seafood and also Marino's (limited selection) and have stepped up to a longer ride to Plainfield. Wish we found this sooner! Last weekend we chose sea scallops - can't wait to next weekend! read more

Artie S. I ordered several lobsters, King Crab legs and X-tra large shrimp. The food was incredible! They cooked everything for me and the seasoning was perfect! I would definetly recommend Pete's for fresh sea food. read more

Great market, if you love seafood. They'll clean, season and fry your fish for a tiny fee. My new favorite spot in Plainfield. Pete, the owner, is very nice. read more

This is a good fish sandwich. I'd been told they had good fish sandwiches here and just now getting around to trying it for myself. I like it, I like it a lot. Seasoned well enough that I don't want to add any hotsauce, tartar or ketchup. read more

Great place and friendly atmosphere! These guys been here for a long time so I know that they know what they're doing. You should try their sandwich, it's called "The Billy!" read more

I really enjoy fish and shellfish. I sometimes get it delivered but when I want a local shop, Pete's has done a great job. They offer high quality fish as well as my wife's current favorite, a soft shell crab sandwich. I see they have a number of cooked options that are intriguing. I like to cook it myself and have recently enjoyed salmon, crab, shrimp etc. I need to check out the fish fry mix they offer in the future. Parking can be a bit more difficult but it is well worth it and the owner has been very friendly and helpful. read more

Came here for sushi grade tuna to make poke bowls and it was excellent and decently priced!

The fish is reasonably priced, the store is clean and the owner is the best. We love Pete's.

The best fish market in the area! Great baccala and shrimp. The fried fish dinners are also very good and the owner is always nice!

Great quality and great price! The owner runs his business the old school way. Not many places like this left. If you are in union county the only place to go for the best seafood is Pete's! He can get anything you want! read more

Pete's has been our go-to fresh seafood market for almost 25 years. Myron has never let us down. We have never gotten so much as a bad clam or mussel. Their chowders are so delicious that we freeze them so we have them on hand. We recommend Pete's to all of our friends and family. read more

Pete's Fish Market is truly a rare gem of a small sigh market these days. We drove there recently from Palisades Park, NJ (Just over 1 hour away) just to find out for ourselves how great this store really is. We left pleasantly surprised! The prices were reasonable, the fish were very fresh and cleaned to perfection for us. We were even thoughtfully given some ice to keep our purchase cold for the long ride back home. The selection of fish was quite plentiful, especially for the middle of a Friday afternoon. Definitely a worthwhile store to purchase fresh fish from and keep going back for more. It's no wonder that they have been in business for over 80 year! KUDOS! read more

Let's start by saying this place is very clean the owner Pete is very friendly and will make you feel at home the fish taste very fresh like it's out of the ocean it's not seasoned however you can add your own seasonings a very pleasant experienceI gave four stars only because I like my food seasoned read more

Pete's Fish Market was recommended to me so I called him. I needed to purchase a large amount of fish and shrimp to cook and sale as a fundraiser. I was not disappointed! Pete was very nice and his service was excellent! The price he gave me was the best and more importantly his seafood was fresh which made our fundraiser a success!!! I would recommend anyone to purchase from Pete's Fish Market!!! Thank you Pete!!!Beverly read more

Excellent market. I've always gotten fresh, high quality seafood when shopping here. Myron and the guys are helpful with suggestions and always polite. I make the trip for special occasions as I know that I won't be disappointed. My only regret is that I'm usually running around and haven't had time to get a sandwich; they look great. read more

This review is not based on the food, which in the past has always been satisfactory. I am really disappointed with the service. Usually I deal with the gentleman ( I believe he is the owner, Pete), however, today (08/06/18) there was a woman there who neglected to include any of the sauces I requested THREE times- once when I place the order on the phone, once when I arrive and recited the order to her, and then a third time when she brought the bag over to me. I didn't check it because she assured me that the condiments were in the bag. Now we have to eat the seafood dry because after travelling 15 minutes there and then back home there was no where close to buy some. Thanks for spoiling our meal!! read more

My husband and I had a wonderful valentines dinner. Clams and oysters on the half shell were amazing. The seared scallops were so sweet and delicious. Can't wait to see what we'll get next time. Kevin and Chris frrom Chatham NJ read more

Myron and George did it again, another amazing Christmas Eve doing the Feast of the Seven Fishes!! These photos are only the first course, the cold fish ( with the exception of the hot crab dip in the fondue pot to the far left), followed by a second course of stuffed calamari, etc... and third course of scallops. The photo includes the most amazing seafood salad and octopus salad along with shrimp and crab claws, etc.. all prepared and provided by Pete's as were all the subsequent courses. This is the second Christmas Eve that Myron and George have done for us and now will become our tradition to depend on the best fish market in New Jersey that offers the kind of service that can only be provided by people that care. In fact, Myron called the day after Christmas to check on us and make sure everything went as planned. WHO DOES THAT?!?! My family from California and New Jersey were really blown away and we could only have done this with the help of Myron and George. Thank you so much guys, you are truly the best! read more
