This is my go to place for me when I want to get seafood for the family. I have been coming here a couple times a year for a long time now and I have to say it is one of those hidden gems in Dearborn. Now my review reflects the service and fresh seafood not the lunches they serve but I hear that they are pretty good. Every time I go here the service is great. The person working is friendly and knowledgeable about the seafood they carry. They even will take the extra step like sorting out the bad mussels before weighing them. The store is small and has a lot of Italian decor with the aroma of a true fish market. It is the type of place that actually takes me back to a time when I used to shop at places like this with my father instead of the large chain grocery stores. So, to wrap up if you're looking for some fresh seafood or a hot meal I would recommend popping in to see if they have what you're looking for. read more

Good quality fresh fish and service. I had both prepared and fresh food from here and it hasn't let me down.

The guys here know seafood. Fresh, cooked (fried) to perfection...it's a fish fry, enjoy it! Had the colossal shrimp and roughy - could only eat half, the other half is for dinner! Coleslaw was nice and had a good bite. If you're local, you know the place, I wanted some seafood but didn't feel like going to a stuffy overpriced restaurant. If you're down to earth and want to enjoy some good fried fish don't think twice about it, just do it! read more

Sicilian Fish Market 41 years open by Phil who passed away last year, now Sonny runs the show just as dad did. It's been a decade since I last stopped in, shame on me. They have hundreds of customers from Weyands Fish that closed a year ago in Wyandotte. Had a fantastic Pickerel Dinner only $13 with Fries, Slaw, Bread and Drink. Outstanding Wowed Fried fresh then I ate ate the counter in front window. Truly a Hidden Gem in East Dearborn a must visit for the Seafood Lovers, get this zero Fish smell in this place. It is a place to buy seafood to take home. HOWEVER....they have a menu that includes a wide variety of fish you can have fried on the spot and take to go. The fries were just yummy, but the fish was so so good. The best fried fish I have ever had. Crispy and flavorful on the outside, creamy and delicious on the inside. This is truly a hidden gem. Don't expect to go and have a nice sit down elegant seafood dinner. Do expect to truly enjoy your fried fishy goodness! This is the definition of a hidden gem. Hundreds of 5 star reviews around the web Google Yelp Instagram Facebook, take a look. #thefishmarket #pickeral #freshfish #fishmarket #buyandfry #sicilianfamily #eastdearborn #downriverfriendseat read more

The food used to be great... since last year, the quality has declined... cod tastes like it was refried... rubbery. The quantity has been halved... I almost wish they would raise the price and keep the same quantity as then I cud be ordered something else too because it was literally fish stick sized portions. I hope they go back to their old ways... so disappointing read more

The Fish Market - This is 1.5 piece of their cod dinner! And portion of fries halved as well! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

I did not know what to expect with this place. But I was pleasantly surprised! The small room was charming and the service was friendly and quick. I got to select my dinner right from the ice and watch them put it right in the fryer. It was so fresh and really delicious! read more

Great place. This was our first visit there. I wanted some Tiger shrimp and a few large scallops. They had both! I wasn't going right home so they put the containers on ice in a bag for me. Cooked them all and they were great! read more

I use to go there for all our fish, appears the owners i knew are no longer there. I have never seen the display of fish look so bad. I may as well went to Kroger. There fish looks way better! read more

love this place there food is off the hook sunny in everyone else is really nice. Great service ambience is really makes you feel like you're in a fishing boat., Are used to come here all the time as a kid I grew up with this place. I recommend anybody who wants old fashion fish market. They really do a good job. Fresh fish of everything is great. read more

Sonny is the sweetest lunk on earth. He'll make you feel like the only customer in the world . The fish is fresh and the store is always spotless. read more

My roommate kept coming home with meals from the Fish Market for lunch, and it always smelled SO good that eventually I had to check it out for myself. I will definitely be a repeat customer! The store is clean and inviting and really feels like a mom and pop place. I got the Lake Perch meal on the recommendation of the man working the counter (by the way, staff was very helpful and got my order done quickly)! You can see them go to put your fish in the fryer as you wait, so you know you're getting fresh food, not something that's been sitting around. The fish is seasoned well, the batter is not too thick, and the overall taste is excellent. Truly melts in your mouth. Add a little lemon or tartar sauce if you like (I do!), but the fish stands on its own. The meals also come with a LARGE amount of fries, cole slaw, and a slice of bread - prices vary depending on the fish, but the Lake Perch meal was $10.99 which I thought was a great price. They also have a big selection of fish behind the glass that you can buy and cook at home. I'm no expert, but everything looked super fresh to me. My friend bought some whitefish and baked it for lunch today, and it looks incredible. I want to head back over sometime soon to pick up some salmon or trout to bake. Finally, they even have a selection of hot sauces, seasonings, and spices that you can use to cook your own fish if you need some ideas! Awesome place that is definitely worth a visit (or three). read more

The Fish Market - Lake perch dinner (comes with fries, cole slaw, and bread) - $10.99 - Seafood Markets Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

It doesn't get much better than this! They have a large variety of fresh fish that you can either take home and cook yourself, or have them cook it for you. Deep frying is their only cooking method, so if you're looking for something healthy you may want to cook it yourself. The fish here is really fresh and it comes out in the taste. Everything is cooked to order, but it didn't take long for me to get my food. I ordered fried oysters and lake perch, which were both seasoned well. It was my 1st time having lake perch so I didn't know what to expect...but I was very pleased. They oysters were really good as well. There isn't a lot of sitting room here, but there are a few seats if you want to eat in. They also sell seasonings and sauces in addition to fresh seafood. I'm not sure if this is a family-owned establishment, but that's the feel that I got from it. The service was good and the food was even better. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area. read more

The Fish Market - Sorry I ate most fries on fleek thank you for cat fish dinner - Seafood Markets Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

Food was amazing! We got to see Sonny prepare and fry the fish. He gave me and my buddy some free drinks which was nice. This is family owned. Highly recommend!! read more

They don't fry the fish fresh, they fry then when ordered they microwave the fish and shrimp. For the price and the fact that fish and shrimp don't take that long to cook, it should be fried fresh everytime. read more

I wanted to have options other than a grocery store for seafood. This is a family owned and operated business and I like supporting local so that's a bonus. First off, while this is a no frills establishment, the place is very clean and no "fish smell" which should always be the case if fish is kept properly. Good selection to choose from whether you are buying to cook yourself or having them do up a fish fry for you. We tried a lake perch and scallops dinner. The coating they use for their fish is very light and crunchy which I prefer. I had never had fried scallops and wasn't sure what to expect. They were delicious. I will definitely be shopping here for seafood again. Glad I tried this place based on previous positive reviews. read more

A wonderful treasure in Dearborn. I do not even live in Dearborn anymore but drive there to buy my fish. The fish is the freshest you will find in the area. There is always a huge selection of various types of fish. You can tell the owners take pride in their store and what they sell. I've bee shopping here for over ten years and have never had a bad piece of seafood. The owner is very nice and helpful. They also sell fish dinners which a lot of customers come in for Try them. You will not be disappointed. Skip the big chain stores; try this place out. read more

I decided to try this place after reading the reviews and to support a family-oriented small business. Let me tell you -- the moment I walked in, the staff conversed with me as if they knew me for 10+ years! They made me feel right at home! I've gone here five times so far during my lunch break and they have NEVER disappointed -- their fried cod dinner was off the chain Highly recommended read more

What can I say about the Fish Market. Have been a recurring customer three years in a row and never have bought my sea food from anywhere else. Sunny & Phil, are the best Father/Son duo you will ever meet. Phil loves to smile, joke, and fry (no one can fry like Phil). While Sonny is more business oriented. They perfectly balance each other out. The place is absolutely immaculate. You will not understand the level of cleanliness until you visit this fish market your self. I am OCD when it come to cleaning, they top my OCD. Everyone n my family knows I make the beast seafood dinners and they provide the main ingredient, ALWAYS FRESH SEAFOOD. Additionally, they expanded their refrigeration to display more types of fish. Love the new variety of sea food products. The duo live on the legacy left behind by their mother/wife who has passed away in 2012. She was known to be the one to always share her loaf of bread and fish. #Fried Shrimp #Fresh Fish #Cod Fried Dinner #Catfish #Fillets For more of my food endeavors follow my IG : @fulfillicious read more

I was in the area and had read the great reviews about The Fish Market. I ordered the orange roughy dinner with fries, coleslaw, and bread. There were two large pieces of the fish, and it was good and cooked well. This ranks as one of the best fish markets where I've ordered a cooked meal. read more

The Fish Market - Orange roughy dinner - Seafood Markets Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

This is a gem in Dearborn. Delicious fresh fish and friendly service. Highly recommend!

Three trips to The Fish Market in Dearborn, and three extremely wonderful experiences. I'm not an amazing chef, but I've made sea scallops at home, a sea fish I don't quite remember, and now catfish and fresh oysters. Who has fresh, never-frozen oysters on demand in Wayne County? This place does. I found a recipe on the Internet for char-broiled oysters in the same vein as Drago's in New Orleans. I happened upon one of the best home-cooked meals I've had in years, and I like to think of myself as a decent cook. I credit the raw ingredients provided by this place with the quality of these meals. As most other commenters have mentioned, this place doesn't smell fishy. It is immaculately clean, with delightful counter staff and the best fresh seafood selection I've seen outside of Eastern Market. Beware: they stop cooking food to go at 5pm Monday through Thursday, so if you want a to-go order, make it early. But their raw fish is fresher than you could possibly hope for this far from the coasts, and the cooked dinners to go are delightful. I've heard their french fries are mediocre, but that would never be a reason to visit this place in my book. If you adore seafood as I do and you live in the Dearborn area and don't give this place a try, you are doing yourself a great disservice. I can't possibly think of anything they could do to improve this game they're playing, and I wouldn't have it any other way. read more

Had a taste for some fish and chips for lunch today. Made my way over here to a friendly bunch of people in Dearborn that know what they're doing when it comes to seafood! I got a Orange Roughy dinner and added some shrimp along for the voyage, which was all quite tasty. Most fish places I don't end up eating the included cole slaw, but I was tipping the container into my mouth today (it was a bit on the sweet side but that didn't stop me). The included piece of bread seemed to be a hybrid white / Italian mixture, which reminded me of something served in higher end restaurants, looking around for some butter to spread on it. The fries were seasoned and I didn't end up even adding any pepper to them as I normally do. Although this was my first time here, I'll definitely be returning! One of the few places around that actually serves a good fish meal around the area. read more

This is a cumulative review; I don't live in Michigan, but in Illinois. Since a friend (who lived two blocks from there) told me about this place 14 to 18 years ago, I've ALWAYS made sure I find my way to Dearborn at least once. (Usually twice, because there's killer Middle Eastern food in the city, also!) I buy the deep fried fish by the pound: my "default setting" is one pound each of fried lake perch, and walleye. ANY year that I get to this place, no matter where else I've eaten during all other parts of the year, my meal there is INVARIABLY MY VERY BEST MEAL OF THE YEAR. (Huron Fish in Saginaw, if it's still there and hasn't changed, comes darned close...) If Phil reads this, I'm gonna bet that he remember exactly who I am, though it's close to two and a half years since I've been in Michigan, lol. This stuff is melt-in-your-mouth, manna from the gods. Unfortunately I can't do more than 5 stars (and if that option existed, I wouldn't be the only one). Can I give it an HONORARY Michelin THREE STARS? Yeah, but I guess that doesn't count... EPIC PASS! read more

These guys fry some great fish here. I ordered the walleye, everything is fresh and tasty. I highly recommend this place. I've been here a few times and each time I ordered something different. All was good !!! Plus the old guy knew Jake Lamotta and Rocky Marciano! Thats worth getting a fish sandwich in it self! Love it ! read more

We have been coming here for as long as I can remember they are a wonderful family started with father and now deal with son and he was a just as committed and wonderful as his father! read more

The best and ONLY place you should be getting seafood in metro Detroit. Places like this are rare these days. Thank you for being so kind .

I judge a fish market straight off by the scents once you walk in the door. The fish market is approved, smells just fine and welcoming. They divide their menu by lake and ocean fish. I ordered the red snapper dinner which was fantastic. Beer battered and crisp, the fillets were meaty and flavorful. They have malt for your fries which are sprinkled with some seasoned salt. Also, they get a nod for stocking real spices about 15 or so, along with the slap your mama variety. That's helpful for buying raw seafood then cooking at home, you only need one stop to prepare dinner. The staff was friendly and I was invited to come back soon. You get what you ask for! read more

The Fish Market - Red snapper dinner. Takeout always looks best when you open in your car. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

I totally agree with all the other reviewers who say this place is great. Because it IS. We do traditional Polish Christmas Eve (no red meat, just seafood and other vegetarian options) and we always get our fish here. The service is fantastic. They really know their fruits of the sea and can give you a wonderful recommendation if you're not sure what to get. They'll tell you how to prepare it, give you breading recommendations, the full nine. The prices aren't super SUPER cheap but you're paying for quality. It's also cheaper than some of the other fish places I've been to in the Metro-Detroit area so it's not crazy unreasonable. I totally agree with M.Y. who pointed out the absolute lack of fishy smell when you walk in--it's just a clean, fresh place with tasty eats. They'll even cook it for you if you want a lunch or dinner without all the hassle. Although there isn't really any seating so you'll need to take it with you. If you're one of those folks who is concerned about sustainable seafood this place doesn't really subscribe to that so just a heads up. I'm sure you'll find some eco-friendly eats but you'll also find some Chilean Sea Bass mixed in. My favorite fish there is the African Perch which I can't really find any info on re:sustainability so I'm going to go ahead and believe that it's totally cool because it's so very tasty. ;) Whether you're a fish novice or someone who knows their stuff I'm sure you're going to find something new to love here. read more

I have never had such good orange roughy in my life. The food here is fresh. The orange roughy was so fluffy and delicious. My husband had thr shrimp and said it's some of the best he's ever had. read more

AMAZING! So I've been vegan for awhile now but this past Friday I had a craving for some fried fish ... weird right! Anywho I kept fighting it but then I found this place and I decided to GO FOR IT! Man one of the best food decisions! I got the lake perch and it was so flavorful, so flaky YUM YUM. It was so good, my husband who is also vegan and talked about me for going to get this, are half of my meal. We will be back. Guess I'm 95% Vegan now read more

This place used to be Five Star when Phil ran it. I went there recently and the son asks how he can help me. I tell him I'm looking for something to pan fry for dinner. He lifts a halibut he's cleaning and says this would be perfect. I tell him I'll take 1 lb cut into 2 fillets. He mentions its $18.99 per lb and asks if that's ok. I say sure. He cuts my fillets, weighs and bags them and rings me up. $25.00 exactly. I figure he cut them a little thick, no big deal. When i went to prepare them later that evening i notice the ticket generated by the scale read 1.00 lb and price $25.00 per lb. What are the odds he cut two fillets to total exactly 1.00 lb? The scale and the prices are arbitrary. No thank you. read more

Just tried this place for the first time with a coworker and wow! The food is outstanding, I had shrimp and scallops dinner and it was absolutely amazing. Definitely coming back for more. read more

This place has been on my radar for quite some time. However; it's all the way over on the other side of town for me so I was not in a huge hurry to come over to the east side and give it a try. That was a mistake. The moment I walked in, I was treated with respect and kindness. The store was bright and clean and the fish on ice looked amazing. I asked for the cod dinner and waited for it to get done. When I got home, I opened the container and found a very fair amount of fish and fires for the price (I paid around $10.00). But, here's the thing......this cod was the freshest and most amazing cod I've ever had. Fried, but not greasy at all (which means they keep fresh grease in the fryer). The fries had some kind of seasoning on them (something like Old Bay perhaps?) but not overly salty, as I experience in most places. The slice of bread included with my dinner took me right back to my mom's kitchen when I was a kid. I cant believe I waited this long to visit this place. They will see me again, and soon! Enjoy! read more

This place was great I had catfish dinner. They had it cooked in about 5 mins. I ate there at the host was so nice she rang a bell to let everyone know it was my first time there. Next time I'm in town I will definitely drop by. They even sell the seasons they use for the fish and fries. read more

I could go on and on about how good their dinners are. But what makes this place is the people who own it. It's a father and son team and they're the nicest people you'll ever meet. They're down to earth, old school, hard working Italian people that if you have 1 conversation with them you feel like you've known them forever! read more
