I was skeptical to try this place at first. But once I heard the good word on it-- I had to try it out. Their fried stuff is nice but their steamed/sautéed dishes are not to be taken as second tier. You can't go wrong with the shrimp in garlic sauce. If you're not careful, That delicious garlic sauce always sweats up the bag- but you're going to want to use it for and on everything! Their whole fish plates are also worth having. My usual go to sides are the yellow rice or the tostones. I'm happy to report that they get them real crispy and delicious. However when that said garlic sauce steams it up- a quick airfryer session fixes it back. Housed in a small storefront, they use good flavors to keep old and new clients coming on a regular basis. Be prepared to take your meal to go and enjoy. No bathrooms for patrons but its a tiny takeout spot so keep moving along. The food is definitely worthwhile and for reasonable prices. Check it out. read more

My go to for fresh made to order seafood that just gets it everytime. It's definitely a Harlem classic seafood spot, they have a couple chairs, nothing fancy but the service is always fast paced, the food is good quality and reliable and it's been consistent for years. I'll be coming here forever! read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years and they never disappoint. I only get the grilled salmon and vegetables. This time I ordered four pieces with vegetables. It was a lot of food and they graciously put it in a large pan. It has fed two of us for lunch and dinner for two days so far and we still have food remaining. The service was quick. It took about twenty minutes for the food to be ready. read more

Brisas Del Mar - Grilled Salmon Slice - Fish & Chips Near Me - New York, New York

I remember usually seeing a line of people inside & outside waiting in their cars to get food from this spot. I decided to try a fish sandwich.... Lissen.... It was so bad. The fish tasted like they got it out of a green radioactive swamp. Yep days later I still had that taste in my mouth. Never again. The quality sucks read more

24 Hour Seafood is not a brand new idea in Harlem by no means, but this spot right here, just might have changed my life last night. Just saying! All the same elements as other well known/popular locations with the same concept... Fresh seafood in a walk-in cold storage that you pick yourself. Pre-packaged vegetable options that you can add to the meal you want to create. It's weighed & bagged by the gentlemen inside the fridge, then you pay, get your ticket and let them know how you would like it cooked (broiled, sautéed, steamed,... etc). Then the magic happens... they season and start working those pans on that grill to produce whatever you requested. I selected shrimp, red snapper filet and carrots to be sautéed. They seasoned it to perfection adding onions and green peppers to a garlic sauce. When it was all said and done it was laid over a bed of yellow rice. So dang on good and enough to have some for today... thank the Law'd. I see no need for me to travel over to Broadway any more. This spot isn't large but it's not a shoe box either. A few stools if you wanna stay but I say take it to go as intended, so you can get comfortable and get into it... I did! Lol read more

Food is aight the breaded shrimp has too much adobo kind of salty but the service is good the steamed seafood is good cant go wrong with that read more

I've patronized this establishment many times in the past, the food and service was good. When I realized they were open during this pandemic I was appreciative that they decided to open. However, What I found disturbing is the price gouging. This establishment during this time Of crisis is chairing 18.00 dollars for 1 cluster of crab legs, 13.00 a lb for salmon 14-19 dollars a lb for shrimps, 1.50 per tray for vegetables and range from 14-20 dollars. How disgusting to over charge the community that support and patronize your location during this time. We understand that your cost may have gone up as well but you service a predominately minority community. Raising prices by a few dollars bid fine but 18 dollars for crabs and 13 a pound for salmon???? DISGRACEFUL!!!!!! Also, the security at the door is rude and the staff is cold and rude. The young men in the back area was and always is very nice and helpful.. News flash owners we chose to patronize your location and because we look a certain way we deserve to to treated with a level of respect and gratitude for our monies keeping your door open. People do yourselves a favor and go to one of the clubs ( Sam's Costco) and and buy your crabs and seafood and prepare it yourself. Write your local government as well.. In conclusion, YOU'VE LOST A CUSTOMER!!!!! SHAMEFUL!!!!!!! read more

Food was inedible. The shrimps and chips horrible. I got rock hard, vinegar tasting shrimps. Plus they don't give you tarter sauce even though I asked. The reason why I give them 2 stars it's because the only good thing on their menu is the broiled fish with rice. read more

Great local place for seafood anyway you like it. Nice people who work there as well. I'd recommend the grill squid and broiled salmon. You can't go wrong with that. read more

If I can give this review negative stars I would. I ordered what I believed to be a fish and chips combo. Smells spoiled, taste even worst and even the fries are soggy. To top it off customer service was horrible. I felt as if it was a bother to ask for condiments. I have never tasted food this bad. And yes I did throw it away. I hope this review helps. If you hungry do not order food from here. read more

Brisas Del Mar - Whiting fish and chip combo - Fish & Chips Near Me - New York, New York

Best late night stop ever. Fresh fried or steamed seafood after the club is the magic combo I didn't know I needed until I did. The place is small but they definitely do a lot with a little. The service is quick, and the food is good... I literally couldn't ask for anything else if I wanted to. read more

Brisas Del Mar - Crab Legs - Fish & Chips Near Me - New York, New York

The food is good here, just curious aren't you suppose to see the price when it weighed so you wouldn't be scamed from the price?

No recomiendo este lugar o simplemente no me gusto el servicio y no fue lo que ordene la preparación no me gusto.

This place is just alright. I've ordered from here a couple times and it's a pretty popular neighborhood spot. They can fry or steam your seafood. Having had both, I prefer fried. The seasoning on the steamed seafood is just old bay. If you order vegetables, they will be overcooked. The prices here aren't bad. You can get a full meal for around $12 and will probably have left overs. It's also open very late at night so if you're looking for fried fish and chips at 11PM, this would be the spot. I might find myself here some time if the desire for fried fish strikes me suddenly, but more than likely, I'll be saving my money for better places around town. read more

Only 3 reviews for Brisas?! Well, this is a great seafood spot that has fresh and made to order meals. I'm a fan of the steamed salmon and mixed vegetable (corn, broccoli, potatoes, carrots) platters. They can also fry your dish. I have to add a teeny bit more seasoning but that's the unhealthy side of me. The back of the store has a little mart where you can buy per lb or take it up front and have cooked how you'd like. Expect to wait a bit as they cook meals on the spot. They're open pretty late too which is nice! There's abt 3 stools but I wouldn't sit in to eat though. Nothing wrong with the place, but I just prefer to tear up this food in the comfort of my home. read more

Brisas Del Mar - Salmon slice w/ mixed vegatables. Asked for a bit of butter too, amazing. - Fish & Chips Near Me - New York, New York

Good food, both steamed or fried. Sometimes a little wait but we'll worth it. 24hours is a plus! Come late nights or early morning

Delicious fresh seafood open late so available all the time great service even tho it gets really busy

A very nice young lady put me on to this spot. Going to see what she was raving about. Looking real fresh and clean thus far. It's All Good On The Hood! read more

First time I went there it was delicious , I rather walk all the way up there than to the one that's two blocks from my home

First time going. New to the area. Still learning Spanish Harlem. Thought this was a regular fish market. Was planning to cook but they was a life saver. They do it all!! I was amazed & my steamed Salmon, shrimp, & crab legs was delicious read more

Horrible service because of THEIR LANGUAGE BARRIER. I asked the lady who speaks perfect English to take my order, she told me go to the other young lady. I told her I wanted 1 order of sweet plantains, she repeated sweet plantains. I said yes. She asked fried? I said yes She said 6.00 I paid even though I felt that was pricey. I asked the 1st lady, are you sure this order is for sweet plantains she said yes. I waited and then was given this huge order of plantains in one container. I asked why such a large order, she said you ordered 3. I did not! So I asked how much is 1 order, she said 4.00. But if 1 order is 4.00 and I ordered 3, why is it 6.00. They were upset with me, speaking bad in Spanish about me. In front of me. Horrible experience!! Never again read more

Open late hood spot with good selection. A1.

I love yall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The place is clean, and family ran!!! The best fish joint on the block!

Racist place. Literally got yelled at by the guy behind the counter because I asked a question. I asked the women what I did wrong and she ignored me too. I notice they treat the Spanish customers way better than the black. Stay away from here if you believe in equality. read more

This impeccably clean seafood market stands head and shoulder above its competition in the neighborhood. There is no smell and the fish rests on ice in a cool walk-in until you choose it for your meal. The Spanish speaking staff will fry, steam or poach your seafood in red sauce with rice. The ready made packs of veggies and the frozen fries are less appealing but very popular. I generally perch on one of the five stools and eat in, but an endless stream of neighbors orders takeout. Generally I order 8 fried shrimp for $4. They are panko crusted and expertly fried. Supposedly open 24 hours a day, I have been disappointed in finding Brisas closed, including some Sundays. It's worth a phone just in case. read more

They never placed my food in the broiler. 20 minutes later they place it in and tell me it will be five more minutes. When i asked for a refund they ignored me and continued serving others. Do not waste your time on people who are disrespectful and irresponsible! read more

This place sucks! I've gone twice and on both occasions I waited a hour for my food. And the order was messed up!!! You need a better system!!!!!!? read more

Delicious seafood at a fair price, customer service is always great. And there open really late which makes it even better.

One of my favorite go-to spots for lunch. A hearty serving of veggies plus a fresh piece of chosen-myself fish steamed together and returned to me, all flavored at my discretion. The model isn't fully original, but they know what they are doing and they do it well and they do it for a price my wallet likes. Close enough to Central Park, you can get a plate to go and sit and enjoy nature while you dine. read more

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST! We come from London and lived in NYC for 3 months we ate here nearly everyday! The food is delicious, the service is great, and the owner is sexy! :) If your coming from out of town we highly recommend eating here. WE LOVE YOU BRISAS DEL MAR aka SHRIMP SHOP! read more

Disgusting. Horrible tasting food cooked with low grade oil. It was so oily and salty. No real flavor. I got a fish that was supposed to be broiled and was not crispy at all. The people here have no idea what they are doing and unfortunately there is a language barrier. There are many restaurants in Harlem that still make it work even if there is a language barrier. I found the people working to be disorganized, sloppy and rude. The kitchen had dirty unwashed pots alongside pans and other pots that were being used for cooking items to order. I'm sure they will receive a health code violation soon, since it is so dirty inside. I will never eat from this place again. Revolting, It made my stomach turn. I'm glad that I didn't keep eating because I might have really thrown up. Please support other wonderful ma and pop restaurants in Harlem that know how to run a business properly!!! read more

Seafood soup was overly salty, and there were pieces of shell and sand grit in it, I'm lucky it didn't chip my tooth. Fried shrimp was ok, under seasoned and overcooked though, bit rubbery. Don't waste your money on the food here read more
