I am really glad the Roslindale Fish Market is here. This place is a great supplement to my weekly grocery shopping trip because big chains and non-specialty stores don't get seafood this fresh. I recently made fideos with clams and saffron using clams from here, and the quality was unbeatable. They genuinely popped like cherry tomatoes when I chewed them. A couple tips. Bring cash; card isn't accepted. I wish they would accept card too, but this place has been here since before I was born. Respect. If you want something specific, call a few days ahead. Fish don't know you want to cook them in advance, so the market will need a heads up when you want fresh ingredients. Plan ahead. It's worth it! There's a lot of international chocolate for sale. Come with a full stomach. They are hard to resist. read more

A wonderful shop, the owners are fine people. I'm not a seafood person, but I love their pita, strained yogurt, tzatziki, cheeses, and spanakopitas --and their produce is from Verrill Farm, it's excellent! read more

Fresh seafood, good selection and very friendly and helpful staff! Awesome sauces too...wedding party of 20 was very happy :))

Family owned store that sells more than fish, run by a very pleasant husband and wife couple. This place is old school, people call in to place fish orders and ask what's good that day. The owner/husband goes and gets the fish fresh every day so the selection you have is guaranteed fresh. They will fillet / debone it for you right there. There's also terrific cheese and olive selections that you can pick from + other fun things from jams to breads and green groceries, herbs and spices at far more competitive prices than the supermarket. The only thing is - they are cash only. So make sure you have enough cash in your wallet and head on over to enjoy a timeless little shopping trip. read more

Best market in Boston. Fish is super fresh. The owner goes every day at 5:00 am to get fish of the day. I used to live in West Roxbury, but I still drive to get my fish there. Over 40 minutes drive read more

This little market is located in the heart of Roslindale circle. It's CASH ONLY. I will repeat.....CASH ONLY! The market has fish....but act fast, they sell out quickly. Also they have a great selection of feta cheese. The cheeses not only taste great but are crazy cheap. The store also has imported olive oil, pasta, grains, and numerous other items. A small selection of fresh fruits and vegetables are available as well. The prices make this place worth checking. All the locals aren't wrong! read more

You go to the supermarket, you get scallops, you pay mostly for water. You go to the Rosi Fish Market? You get thick, beautiful scallops that don't shrivel down to nothing when you cook them. That alone is worth the four stars! The fish is fresh, the people are kind and accommodating, the prices are market prices, and they have, like 7 different kinds of feta. Call ahead of time for the freshest batch of fish, or to make sure they aren't sold out! read more

Roslindale Fish Market - Scallops purchased from Rosi Fish Market - within an hour, I was eating this! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Oh do I love olives! Extending an olive branch may be a fine gesture, but extending an olive branch flush with olives would be much finer. Roslindale Fish Market is a small Greek market adjacent Roslindale Square. Though a previous reviewer has good things to say, I've never purchased fish here - I come for the olives. You'll find eight 5 gallon drums brimming with these delicious fruits (they do have a pit). Kalamatas of various sizes, pitted and un, green Greeks, and Alfonso's from Chile. Despite their unorthodox packaging, they are fresher and cheaper than what you'll find in the supermarket. read more

So I know the owner. He comes into the produce market in Chelsea to buy my highest quality fruit. From there he heads to the Fish Pier and selects the days freshest availability. Whether it's cod, salmon, swordfish, scallops etc. He buys what he needs for the day and does it all over again the next day. Talk about fresh!!! After getting my wallet taken from me at Whole Foods three weeks ago when my two boys 18 and 20, along with their two friends asked it I would grab some swordfish and cook it on the grill (I have a killer recipe that they love). Not even paying attention to the cost of the fish, my 3lbs of fish cost me $54....hello!. Anyways, the owner Pete comes in the following Tuesday. I tell him my story. And he says I don't get more than $10 a pound for any of my fish. Why don't you let me know when you need, I'll call you with what I pick up fresh and pick it up on your way home from work. Well, I did. I am a fan, and all you reading this review, their is no better way to buy your fresh fish than from Peter and his lovely wife at the Roslindale fish market. read more

Excellent local shop with Greek specialties. Fresh wild caught fish selection. Also a grocery store for limited goods.

I love this place! The owners are the nicest people you will meet. The fruits and veggies are very fresh. The cheese and olive selection is mmmmmmm. You can always find what you are looking for at a reasonable price. I would recommend going if you need something Mediterranean and fresh. read more

I went to the Roslindale Fish Market and brought salmon, olive oil spinach and bag of Greek pumpkin seeds. The fish is amazingly fresh!!! They have so much to choose from in there. The people who work there are so nice!!! I will be going back to buy more stuff and fish. I recommend to anyone who is in the Roslindale area please go and purchase items you will not be disappointed. read more

I had a hard time figuring out how to rate this place.... I'm torn because of two things: 1. they have really fresh fish! honestly, if it smells fishy it's not fresh at all (Now think about Legal Seafood's place reeks from a mile away).... 2. the place is a dump inside! Never maintained, they don't even have a real sign in front...it's a plastic banner attached to the facade of the building. It's always busy in there and I would just like to see the place a little cleaner and neater. But, I still keep going back for their fish, cheese, frozen spinach pies... read more

Employees are SO nice at this market. The olives are one of the best I've had and the fresh feta cheese is the best I've ever had. There are also other varieties of feta cheese. I never knew. After trying the feta cheese there, I'll never, NEVER ever again buy store package feta cheese. The prices of fish, shrimp are reasonable for the quality they sell. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because they don't accept cards, only cash. If they do, I'll certainly update my review to 5 starts. read more

I as well have not bought the fish here. I think I must get here too late and all there is are fish heads, which don't really look that appetizing. What is appetizing are the vats of olives--ah heaven! Combine that with the fresh produce and quirky greek products like Socrates soap, it's a fun place to stop in when you're in Rozzy. read more

Cash only. Remember to bring your cash! I go there often to buy fresh seafood. Salmon is my favorite. They are friendly and welcoming. I've also bought some vegetables, rice, and other things that catches my eyes. They are affordable! I love supporting local stores like this. read more

I guess different people come here for different things. I like trying new products from Greece. The Cin cookies were awesome and the chocolate cream cookies in the blue wrapper were tasty too. That hazelnut spread is a great alternative to Nutella. It's like Nutella without the chocolate so you can really taste the hazelnut flavor. Recently, I bought a 3 liter can of extra virgin olive oil, imported from Crete, for $19, on special. That is an awesome deal if you consider that a half liter of the Goya brand usually goes for about $7 or so. I think the stuff from Crete tastes better too! The lady at the shop said it's a little stronger than the other can that was on sale. At some point, I want to try the fish. read more

This little market owned by the nicest Greek couple has the best and freshest fish and many other products like fabulous Greek feta, olives, great veggies , all kind of nuts and dried fruit etc. I highly recommend it . Pay only with cash or checks. read more

This is a terrific place and I feel lucky to live near it. Great seafood, vegetables, feta, dry goods, etc. I recently moved to the neighborhood so I haven't been coming here for long, but the owners immediately stood out as wonderful, kind, honest people. You can't get this at the supermarket. Don't miss Effie's next door. read more

Nice Greek market specializing in fresh fish. Call around 11am to see what fish they have in that day and get there early. They sell out pretty quickly and you may have to elbow some old Greek ladies out of the way to get to the counter. Also a great place to pick up one of about 6 different kinds of feta cheese, cut to order, and all kinds of olives by the pound, as well as vegetables and grocery items. Closed Monday. read more

Hope and Peter, the proprietors of this true "Mom & Pop" will put fish aside for you when you call in advance, and that's just the tip of the iceberg as far as service goes. The fish is the best-priced and freshest I've found in all my years as a Bostonian -- Peter cleans and filets the fish on site and is often covered with scales if you visit early in the day. They buy only the best-looking fish on the dock and will offer a limited selection rather than selling anything that's less than excellent. Halibut, sole, salmon, whole smelts and snapper: they serve a diverse clientele and do their best to accommodate the tastes and customs of Greek, American, West Indian, Asian and African chefs! The best shrimp and scallops, too -- clean and pure with way less grit innate scallops than at any other place in Boston. Eat your heart out, Legal Seafood! Plus: 8 types of feta; pasta and cookies from Greece; amazing olive oil selection; tastiest olives I've ever found in Boston or NYC. Shops like this are a dying breed and shopkeepers like Hope and Peter are true jewels in the crown of Roslindale! read more

I just moved to Rozzie and read the great reviews on yelp so I checked this little market out this afternoon. They do call themselves a fish market but as others mentioned the selection is VERY limited. The owners told me that they only buy what is really fresh and reasonably priced and told me I can call any weekday and tell them what I want over the phone and they will hold it for me until I get out of work. That is really cool. They gave me their card and welcomed me to town. I ended up snagging a huge bag of scallops and a huge bag of shrimp that were surprisingly affordably priced. I wish I liked olives because they have so many types. I am psyched about the selection of fresh cheeses and all the produce and specialty items they carry. I was nervous about moving here and I am psyched I have already found a great local small business! read more

Love this place! I live down the street and this is an amazing fresh fish market to have locally. The owner selects the fish on a daily basis, based on what looks best. Unbeatable prices, freshness and quality. The shop is run by a husband and wife team who couldn't be nicer. The market also has a pretty wide selection of Greek groceries and frozen foods as well as produce. You can also call ahead to have fish held for you- which is a good idea because word is they sell out fast! read more

As a Greek transplant, my dad knows what's up when it comes to authentic Greek products. He has been coming to the Fish Market for as long as I can remember for the best Greek cheeses - feta, mizithra, kefalotiri, etc, olives, and anything else Greek you can think of (olive oil, salt, semolina, pasta, cookies, juice, etc). I had a cousin visiting from Greece this past spring and we came here to shop for galaktoboureko, a Greek dessert. We were having some trouble with the translation of a particular ingredient, which I understood as "ammonia". Never having heard of baking with ammonia before, I asked Hope (co-owner) and she knew exactly what I was talking about and handed over a small plastic container with white powder. Sure enough, it's ammonia bicarbonate. Who knew? I usually come for the cheese/olives/Greek products since I'm not close enough to use them as a regular grocery, but they do have a decent selection of produce. I have bought the occasional tomato or onion, and they have always been fresh and tasty. I have not bought fish from them so can't comment, but I think my dad does. Overall, this place is wonderful. If you are looking for anything Greek, or just some good cheese/fish/olives, don't pass this place by. read more

This place has the best selection of Greek foods! I love coming here to purchase authentic feta cheese (they have a great selection of imports), olives, and various other products one can use to make delicious greek foods. In addition to the amazing selection of greek products, they have amazing fish! The family that owns and runs the store are some of the nicest most accommodating people I know. They know and greet their customers when one enters the store and always make you feel welcome. read more

Exceptional little market with only the best produce, cheeses and seafoods. Quality is the name of the game here. Always excited to pick up some goodies when I am here. Dont miss the olives. read more

This little Greek market actually has a pretty small fish selection. They told me they don't always get fish in on Saturdays, which doesn't make sense because Saturday is by far the highest traffic day in Roslindale. I went in one Saturday and they had nothing but scallops. One early Friday afternoon they had three varieties and shrimp. Another Saturday I snagged a nice whole red snapper. Prices are quite reasonable for the quality, and the owners are so nice. They do have plenty of fresh veggies, feta, Greek staples and giant vats of olives - eight or 10 varieties, and the lady is happy to describe them all. read more

Fish is fresh; great prices. Along with the fish I like their olive oil options.

Great service. Yummy scallops and shrimp....also the chocolate bars! They often run out of scallops by end of day so ive learned i should call in the morning and ask them to hold some for me. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is BC they only take cash. read more

Worth the trip. I don't live across the street anymore but there's plenty to draw me here. One stop for fresh fish Mon - Friday, quality produce, sweets, bulk nuts and grains, and even a good price on NUTELLA. And of course the OLIVES. Buy some figs, you'lll wonder why you don't eat them more often. genuinely NICE people. I love going there. Then go to VOUROS, Tony's Market and Fornax and you've got some of the best food outside of New York! read more

Love this place, they have veggies and fruit for a pretty low price. definitely would recommend this place.

I go to the Fish Market to get nuts, dried plums & apricots, tahini, some produce and other random things. It ends up being a little cheaper. I haven't bought fish yet. Don't forget, Cash Only!! read more

Inexpensive, fresh produce, fresh fish, olive oil, dried fruits, nuts and grains in bulk, feta and olives. These are the most friendly business owners that I've run across in Boston. You can call ahead and reserve your fish, because later in the day the case might be running low. Cash only. Great value for your money compared to Whole Foods, etc. read more

This is a small, family-run market. The fish is brought in fresh daily so get there early to get a good selection. You can call ahead and they will get what you want or even reserve fish for you. The couple who own and run this store are super kind. The market is Greek and carries mostly Greek cheeses (feta) spices, canned goods, philo dough, beans, nuts, pastas, etc... Also, a small assortment of fresh and well priced vegetables and fruit. Oh, almost forgot, olives and olive oil. Check this place out, support a small local business. You will be glad you did! read more

All the Greek products you can ever want, and not having to fly across the Atlantic to get them? I'm a fan! The fish here is super fresh, fresher than whole foods fish, and ALOT cheaper. Call early in the morning to ask which fish they have that day, the selection varies. They have all the staples: Amita juice, candies, produce section, a large variety of feta/olives by the pound, olive oils and more. And they are all reasonably priced, taking into account you are buying imported products. read more

What's not to like about the Roslindale Fish Market? The owners are amazing, kind, and lovely. The fish is terrific, as are the olives, feta, and produce. Very pleasant establishment, and a terrific local business. We are lucky to have this place in Roslindale! read more

This is an excellent small, local market. The fish is fresh and they do a great job fileting the fish. There will be no bones in your fish. And the other products also are top notch at a good price - for example, olive oil from Greece and fresh olives, as well as the best canned stuffed grape leaves that I have ever had. read more

Absolutely the freshest salmon and scallops you will find. Call ahead to reserve your order or there will be none left! Nice selection of olives and other imported foods. Very friendly husband and wife run the place. Worth the trip. read more

I went in there yesterday and bought some sea bass for dinner. It was AMAZING. The quality of the fish was incredible and it was less expensive than Whole Foods. The service was great too. I'll definitely be buying my fish from here from now on. read more

This unassuming little shop sells amazing amazing fresh fish. Since moving to the neighborhood, we've taken to stopping there every week or so after work to grab something amazing for supper. I highly recommend! read more
