The first time I visited this restaurant I had two orders of the fried fish , shrimp, crab sticks and French fries for less than $20.00. The second time that I visited this restaurant I got steamed shrimp , three vegetables and two crab legs and it cost me $35.00. Was the steamed food good ? Yes it was ! Was the food more expensive than I expected ? Absolutely . Will I return again to try another dish ? More than likely because the quality of food is great , the employees are super sweet and very accommodating .

It's hard to find a place that offers a vast and comprehensive seafood selection, and Metropolitan Fish Market has a great selection! We went hunting for scallops and clams to make a clam linguine/vongole, and we also managed to get a bag of frozen seafood mix. There is also fresh Italian parsley and Parmesan if you don't have it at home already. Definitely will return for seafood needs!

I stopped by recently and picked up a gorgeous branzino. After roasting it at home, it melted in my mouth--so tender and flavorful. You can tell they take pride in their quality.

If you're serious about fresh seafood and supporting local businesses, this market is a must-visit.

Does business as 'Seafood Premium'…read more So my boy Andrew and I meet up and he tells me about this place that steams and seasons any fish you pick out, along with veggies. After a long walk in the Brooklyn sunshine we arrive to a place, right under the J/M/Z Marcy stop. It doesn't look fabulous. There's one table with three chairs. Fish on ice, a cold case with frozen onion rings [10 for a dollar!!], salads and so on. The real deal is the dollar packs of veggies. Red potatoes, snap beans, carrots, cabbage, corn, and more. You buy some of those, and then you pick out a nice slab of fish. They weigh it, then ask you what seasonings you want on it. We both ordered it with 'everything'. They splash some sink water on it, and into the steamer it goes. Five minutes later you get a styrofoam pack with your food in it. They have squeeze bottles of hot sauce, melted butter and ketchup and so on. Did my story sound horribly low class? Are you quivering in fear of bacteria? Well then let those feelings go. It was awesome! We took our food to the park and enjoyed it. Next time I'm telling em go easy on the salt but man...hot sauce on seasoned tilapia plus melted butter on veggies...so awesome. All together 6.50! Who says you can't eat healthy delicious food for cheap in the hood?? I'm going again, and I don't have any people on that block. Even the bathroom is clean [for a fish market]. Toilet was clean, both hot and cold water worked, soap, a few rolls of WRAPPED toilet paper...dudes are on their game.

Was in the area and noticed a new seafood shop. I don't cook a lot of seafood, but I've been…read moremeaning to, so took the opportunity to check out what they've got. First of all, everything's fresh (unless it's frozen/prepackaged like their tuna steaks). I think almost everything ins locally sourced. They had some nice red snapper, and branzino. All different sizes, and for good prices. I picked up a small 1-pound red snapper (which they cleaned for me), as well as 2 lbs of their Connecticut mussels. They also had oysters, but they were Blue Points, which aren't my favorite. Got home and cooked everything, and it was quality all around. I now know that I can house 2 lbs of mussels in a single sitting... Cash only!

It was super fresh and the gentleman helping me did a very complete job of scaling it and trimming the fins. I'll be back next time for the branzino! Don't be put off by the minimalist retail space!

where to begin -- firstly we went for lunch. We didn't expect the place to be hopping and there…read morewere a few other people in the place. We ordered appetizers of fried calamari and eggplant rolatini. The calamari was AWFUL. It was rubbery, overcooked and COLD. There were no tentacles which makes me think that these were pre cooked frozen for restaurants that you would buy in a restaurant supply place. My friend raved about the fried shrimp - so we all ordered the fried shrimp. I don't like red sauce so I asked if I could have a different sauce and she said yes an gave me the Alfredo. I asked the very young server if any of the pasta was fresh and she said ALL of their pasta was fresh (which I thought, great a good Italian restaurant should have fresh pasta). I asked for the fettuccine with fried shrimp. What came out was this - it was linguini clearly from a box NOT fresh and the shrimp were way over cooked, salty and rubbery. My friends got the linguini with red sauce -- there was SO much sauce It looked like they were trying to hide something. The Alfredo sauce ok - not great but not horrible. The two things I can say is that the bread was good and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente but def not fresh pasta. Do not go to this place. I think it may be resting on its past laurels.

I like this fish market. I could have sworn I reviewed this years ago but apparently I did not!…read more I like this market because they carry catfish, which a lot of fish markets in the neighborhood dont carry. You'll find your standard fare of seafood and freshwater fish including catfish (my fav), salmon, porgy, whiting and talapia. They also have a good selection of crustaceans, such as crab, shrimp and lobster. This place isn't fancy and the fish is usually kept on ice but I've been coming here for years and have never had a problem. If you get a whole fish they will fillet it for you for free ( just tip them!)

I admit I was a little nervous about a fishmarket on Flatbush, but it seemed to be happening with…read moreregulars on my walk home so I decided to check it out. They've got a decent selection of fish and shrimp on ice, as well as a selection of fixins behind the counter. This ain't Whole Foods honey, so no descriptions about what's wild or farmed, fresh off the boat or been frozen, but it definitely felt safer than the mysterious meats and fishes in barrels at some of the nearby groceries. The fishmonger was a really sweet guy and pleasant to buy from. I'm sure if I had questions he would've been helpful, but I decided to play it safe and get two salmon steaks. Got two really nice sized portions and only paid about $7.80. If they're as good as they looked I got a great deal, if not I'll update my post! Selection is mostly local varieties (snapper, salmon, perch, tilapia etc), most are whole fish but a few are sliced or in steaks, unfortunately no sashimi grade cuts but let's face it, I wasn't expecting there to be. Solid neighborhood joint, if my salmon steaks turn out well I'll definitely be back.
