Have been going to this fish monger many years, always fresh. Dave the owner is very nice and gives tips on cooking. The gentleman that does the filleting has been there as long as I know and does a great job. The woman has been working a while and is very accommodating. Definitely the best seafood on the island. read more

We decided to try Carlos for the first time during Christmas. We bought frozen crabs for our sauce. I was really happy with the quality and how clean they were. The store has a great variety of seafood. You can really tell how fresh the seafood is. The store is clean and neat. We came a couple weeks later and bought a beautiful piece of Chilean Sea Bass. Also, fresh and tasted amazing. The staff is also really nice and very helpful! Thank you for a great experience. (366) read more

Carlos Fish Market has exceptionally fresh seafood daily and a great selection of wild caught varieties. I've never been disappointed with the seafood he sells nor with the service and prices. The place is always clean and I' ve never smell anything funny. Carlos himself makes sure everything is kept clean. Not that many Fish Markets in S.I. with such a high quality of seafood. read more

Seafood is always fresh and every dish comes out delicious. I love how easy it is to make clams with linguine because you can get the clams opened. Price for the clams is only $8 a dozen.

The fish market smells clean and looks clean which it's a plus. I called the fish market two hours before arrival, to place a order for 2 dozen of blue crabs cleaned. Then about 15 mins later, I called again and changed my order to 3 dozens of blue crabs cleaned. I showed up, the person I saw he said did you say you want 3 crabs or 3 dozens? I said 3 dozens. He said ok I only have 3 crabs and he went in the back to get 3 dozens. I was thankful he had more in the back. He gave me few extra crabs due to some crabs were missing claws. Which it was very nice of him. After I paid, he hands me back $6 and I didn't see it then. As I went to do more shopping and I counted the money. I noticed the $6 he hands me. The dollar bill is ripped and missing pieces. I never went back to ask for new dollar but next time if I go back, I will make sure there's no ripped money. Which I do not understand why would he made that move. The blue crabs were so fresh when we cooked it in the oven, loved it! read more

Fantastic quality lobster, shrimp & little necks. Shrimp & clams were cleaned and ready to cook. Great prices and very nice to deal with. read more

Not even gonna joke about this place, it has hands down the freshest seafood on the island. I go there 2 times a week for salmon or shrimp or cod or whatever.. The prices are excellent too recently I paid 21.99 a pound for wild Atlantic salmon. The place smells like a fish market but if you take your fish home and rinse it and smell it I guarantee it will not smell fishy, that's the mark of fresh seafood Also it's a local small business that always has the popular and seasonal stuff in stock. I'm sorry the guy who posted about Christmas's eve had a bad experience but maybe it was because the line was 1/4 mile long, go back lol. I bet the owner would have refunded or exchanged bad fish because he's a solid guy . read more

Fabulous fresh fish, with a large selection of wild caught. Store is kept spotless. The owners couldn't be nicer, and are very accommodating. They take their time to explain any questions that you might have. Worth traveling to if you're from out of the area. Street parking, but not too tough. read more

The best fishmonger on Staten Island hands down!!!! Fresh (wild caught and farm raised) fish, lobsters, clams, mussels, and whole Branzino. Prices are what you would expect to pay for top quality as what's sold here. Great service and friendly staff. read more

One of our best Fish stores on Staten Island! The store is always spotless. The fish is always fresh, and the owner is a friendly and helpful. read more

The owner is inconsiderate, very nasty, and the place is filthy. The quality of the fish has gone down drastically in the last year.

This is our go-to place to get fresh fish on the island. The owner, David, is super helpful. It might be pricier than shop-rite but you get what you pay for and you can't beat the quality here. I'm not gambling on my seafood so I'm happy to have found a place I can trust. I'd recommend the king salmon, tuna, and the crab cakes are soooo good. read more

Best seafood market. Always fresh. Very friendly and accommodating. Really good crab cakes also

This place has the freshest fish I've ever had, for me salmon must be super fresh or I won't touch it and at Carlo's it was delicious

Great fish, great service. Saves the trip and expense to the Fulton Fish Market and is just as fresh. Prices can't be beat for this quality!

Best and freshest fish on the island. Wonderful service, large variety and fair prices.

It's a nice place to buy fish. Clean and the staff is helpful but. I was there a few weeks ago. $20.00 a pound for flounder filets? Seemed overpriced. read more

Sadly the last and final time there I purchased Salmon I was extremely sad. The fish had a metal/chemical? Taste. Sadly it cost a lot money and was horrific. The time before the fish was like what I buy in shop-rite. I know its the pandemic... But to I assume by the taste to chemically refresh your seafood. I found the word Horrific.. it was a few years ago.. I was so happy to find this place. What happened? read more

I have been going to Carlos Fish Market for years, always fresh and clean. Only bad thing is they are closed on Sundays. The owner Dave is very friendly and knowledgeable on seafood preparation. read more

The best Seaford Store on Staten Island. Let me put it this way, if you can walk into a Fish Market and not smell any fish well you know they keep a clean and fresh fish store. Their Filet Of Grey Sole is one of my favorites. Always fresh. I have also made a fish salad with their scallops, shrimps, calamari and octopus and every thing was unbelievable fresh...Like I said, the best on Staten Island.... read more

I've been coming for their fresh fish weekly since I moved to Staten Island three years ago. The price may be higher than a supermarket, but you cannot beat the freshness and selection. So far we have tried scallops, salmon, cod, sole, mackerel and tilapia and liked all. I especially love their wild salmon which became a staple in our diet and my husband loves the grey sole. The fish is so good both our cat and dog like tasting it as well. The only downside is that I used to order fish when out for a dinner, but the fish never tastes as good as it does from this shop, especially the wild salmon, so for a person who doesn't like meat, my choices are now very limited. I look forward to my fish for many years to come. read more

Best fish anywhere! It's the only place where I go to buy fish for that evening. Try it and you'll see what mean

This is the best fish market bar none. The fish is ALWAYS fresh and David will not sell it to you if it's not. You can trust his fish is fresh I've been using this fish market for over 20 years. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Great, fresh fish here with a large variety . Owners are family owned and very nice. All the fish I cook always tastes delcilcious

Disgusting workers, no knowledge of fish, full of attitude, hole in the wall tiny store, small selection of fish, plenty of other stores on the island to choose from, this is deffinetly something you need to skip... stop n shop even has a better selection.. Asian guy behind the counter is clueless... came in and walked right now, ughhh nasty read more

Christmas Eve is a hugely important day for many families. We placed an order with Carlos and our lobsters were under the weight that we ordered, and were not cleaned - although we did ask for clean lobsters! We are disappointed but making the best of the holiday! read more

I've got cod,very good and fresh. My only complaint ,and this is in general fish shops, is that all the fish is already deboned. I like to see the whole fish to really make sure is fresh (always look at the eye,should be glowy and the skin wet not jelly) ...thats maybe how picky you can get with fish when you come from a fishermen family.Overall average fish place but pricey. read more

We started buying fish after the pandemic started, as in our previous life we dined out every night. We are very impressed with the wonderful, fresh fish we get every week. We have ordered tuna, halibut, whole bronzino,, salmon, & cod. The quality is great & the prices are fair. We do curbside pickup, and David is very accommodating! read more

We shop there at least once a week. The store is clean and the owner is friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The fish is always fresh and of excellent quality, we have never been disappointed. The store has a steady stream of customers and you can tell that many of them shop there regularly so you can be even more confident the fish is fresh. In the past I have shopped for fish elsewhere and sometimes the price was cheaper but there were too many times when the quality was questionable. That is never the case at Carlos Fish Market. read more

The scallops were awful. Didn't cook. Breadcrumbs fell off and they crumbled upon touch. Must have been frozen a few times. Very expensive Christmas Eve dinner and had to throw my scallops out. read more

A small business treasure on Richmond Avenue (operated by the Kim family), they carry a decent selection of fish that is the freshest on Staten Island. David Kim is very knowledgeable about his stock, will offer advice on how to cook them, and will clean and/or trim your items as requested. I travel from the North Shore to shop here (round-trip via car of almost an hour), but it is definitely worth it. My normal Friday routine - park across the street in the BOA lot and do any necessary financial transactions - cross-the street to shop in Carlos - then walk up 2 blocks to Pastosa Market for their selections of pasta / breads / sauces - finally an iced coffee purchased in Dunkin' Donuts for the ride home. read more

Owner is very friendly and will try to accommodate you as much as he can. Ordered cod yesterday and it was very fresh. Selection is great. Used to come here all the time before i moved to the other side of the island but will definitely take the extra trip to come here from now on. read more
