I typically come here to get the to-go sushi/groceries in the market. Please keep that in mind! Food: 5/5 The to-go trays of sushi are delicious. Fresh fish and generous servings! Also tastes so much better than other grocery store sushi. I love the variety of goods they have at the market as well. As for the restaurant, I've only ever tired their fried items and they were good, but not my favorite. Service: 5/5 Quick and friendly. Ambiance: 4/5 I love the combination of the market and the restaurant. It's the best of both worlds. The tables aren't the cleanest, but it doesn't bother me because I wash my hands read more

I come here way more often than I'd like to admit... but if you know, you know. This is my go-to spot for poke and imitation crab salad. I like building my own hand rolls and bowls at home, so having a place with consistently fresh fish is non-negotiable and this place does not miss. Every single time I pull up, the quality is on point. The fish is fresh, clean, and exactly what you want when you're trusting a place with your raw cravings. No weird smells, no sketchy cuts, just solid, reliable quality. The staff is always super friendly too. Never feels rushed, always happy to answer questions, and they actually seem like they care about what they're serving. Honestly, there's not much else to say, if you need fish in Fresno, this is the spot. Period. Only heads up. Getting there right now is a bit of a mission with all the construction, so plan ahead unless you enjoy trying to figure out how to get around that train track read more

Central Fish Company - My homemade poke bowl - Seafood Near Me - Fresno, California

Central Fish Company has been a staple in the Fresno community since 1950. What started as a seafood supplier for local restaurants later expanded into a Japanese grocery store, seafood market, and restaurant. I recently tried the poke and it definitely lived up to the reputation. I ordered the salmon poke and the quality and portion size were awesome. The salmon was fresh and cut into good-sized chunks, which made every bite really satisfying. Beyond the poke, the market itself is worth checking out. They carry a lot of authentic Japanese grocery items, making it feel like more than just a seafood stop. If you're looking for fresh seafood and a spot with real history in the community, Central Fish Company is definitely worth visiting. read more

Your go to place for fresh seafood and sushi grade fish to make your own sushi at home. They also have some cool seafood at great prices in the freezer section as well, an extensive sake and beer collection and just about everything you need to make sushi or any other Asian inspired dishes at home. Or you can have some great fish cooked up right there in the restaurant inside the market. There is a fishy smell as you walk into the market since the fish counter is right in front but you don't smell it in the restaurant. Instead it spells like pretty good food in the restaurant. Will try it next time. read more

$9.92 for the inflation special plate, can't beat the price! Delicious food! This is my second time coming here in my 41 years of life. I've been missing out that's for sure. You can order to go, or eat inside or outside. They do have order options I didn't get a chance to take more pictures. So I'll definitely add more when I return. read more

Came in for the first time after seeing central fish for years. We got shrimp tempura, beef teriyaki and fish and chips. I ate the fish and I was very impressed. For being a land locked fish market it was fresh and I loved the crunch. I love that it wasn't greasy and had great flavor. It isn't fancy here but who cares with how good the food is. read more

Ambiance not great at all but you didn't go there for that. Service was average. Took a while to get our order, but they were busy & it was close to the end of the day. Do want to note, the guy who cleans the tables was very thorough. Much appreciated! ORDER: Combo Seafood & Tempura w/rice & salad Fish, veggies, rice salad Disappointed that they ran out of clam chowder by 1pm tho. They only have it Friday early it seems. Food was hot & crispy w/out being greasy. Very good overall. Will definitely come back. Store also has sashimi grade fish! read more

This place has been such an establishment for many decades. It is a staple of the old Chinatown that used to be here in downtown Fresno. What I love is that people from all walks of life come here for some good fish, sushi and groceries. We came here on a weekend day about 1.5 hours before closing and there were only two sushi containers left up front. A staff member said that if we wanted sushi we should come early. We then ordered some fish and chips and sesame balls. The fish and chips were very very basic. The fish was basa and the fries were kind of odd with multiple of them stuck together. The sesame balls were tiny and not what we were used to, but still tasty. We did enjoy browsing the store, which had gifts, dishes and utensils, fish, and various goodies and treats. I was surprised though that an unmarked gourmet bag of candy was $10 for a small bag. That caught me off guard. Overall, appreciate this place still being a staple in the community and holding up the various businesses in the area as well. read more

Went to the cafe and got the chicken bowl with a side of torpedo shrimp. The only thing I had hoped for was a nice sauce but the chicken was lightly drizzled with it. I suggest ordering the teriyaki chicken so it comes with more on it. The chicken is just a tad on the dry side but the portion side is huge so that's a plus! read more

I'm not from the area, but from what I'm told, this is a local institution. Central Fish Company has been opened for well over 30 years and has a fresh fish counter filled octopus, scallops, ahi, and what seemed like hundreds of other catch-of-the day items. There's also a produce section with specialty Asian fruits and veg, imported Japanese candies, sauces, noodles, and an entire aisle dedicated to pottery and dish wares. There's a small upstairs area where they sell decorations, along with some knives and other tchotchkes. I did end up getting some Japanese candy kits for my kids and a green tea and strawberry Kit Kat from Japan. There were super tasty! There's so much amazing stuff in here. I feel like I barely scratched the surface. A second trip is definitely in the works. If you've never been Central Fish Co., or haven't been in a long time, this place is definitely worth the trip. read more

We have been on a poke kick lately and found this place on sf gate . I had saw this place a few weeks ago but didn't realize it is also a Japanese supermarket . There's no other stores in this area and it literally looks like it's in the middle of nowhere but when you enter it's a pretty well stocked Japanese market / fresh fish market . Great place if you need to stock up on Japanese snacks / condiments / seasoning . They have a large fresh fish section . The poke is 17.99 / lb and it's delicious and super fresh !! They also have some fresh made sushi as well . We got poke and I also grabbed some drinks and natto!!! I'll definitely be back to try some more poke, fish, and sushi . read more

The salon Poki bowl is so delicious it's my favorite thing else beats this Poki worth the drive and the wait each time

Location: Central Fish Company Date: October 13, 2025 Service: take out It's Monday and lunchtime in Fresno California so I got in the car and took my mom out to the Central Fish company. They do have a parking lot on site with limited parking. The prices are on point for the area. If you go around lunchtime, you will be waiting in line but his worth the wait. I ordered the fish and chips plate and my mom bought the seafood plate. You should definitely check them out if you're in the area. read more

Central Fish has always been a fun place to stop and get authentic Asian ingredients. My sister gets raw fish for sushi and sashimi and I usually get chili oil and snacks! There's a pretty fair selection and you can get pretty much everything you need for a nice dinner. The service at the fish counter is great, the service at checkout is usually pretty lackluster. The cashiers often seem bored to death. The food at the restaurant is... poor. I've had the teriyaki bowl and katsu and both times the rice was dry, and the chicken was dry and super rubbery. Overall I recommend coming here, but make sure you can handle a VERY strong fish odor. read more

Excellent selection of fresh seafood, ethnic foods and a wide variety of grocery items. A well known store located in Chinatown near downtown Fresno, this store has served the community for years with fresh seafood as well as serving plate lunches just next to the store. read more

The freshest fish in fresno! The food here is amazing i have been coming here since I was 18 and they still got it. The sushi is fresh every day. For the downtown and west workers this is the spot for the adorable sushi roll. Also the fun Japanese snack, drinks and ice creams are a must!

My definite new go to for a salmon poke bowl and now I'm in trouble because I've found a new favorite AND I work down the street from them lol Thank you Central Fish!! read more

Good selection of snacks, staples and spices. I got some pre-made grab and go sushi that was amazing, like 10000% better than your usual grocery store sushi. Got some nori-ten and melon-pan to take home with me as well. Will definitely be back to try ordering at the restaurant. read more

I have to say right out the gate that the purpose of our visit was to try their diner's hot food. It was terrible. The French fries were the only 3 star out of 5 rated item. The fried fish was not good. The teriyaki chicken was sturdy, making you work on every bite. The teriyaki sauce had this processed flavor that can only be satisfied by any off-the-shelf bottle. And the service from the girl at the counter was terrible. On the store side, it's got a quaint, "hey give me credit, I'm an Asian owned store" kind of vibe. Which to me as an Asian, excuses them from meeting current American standards. I'll leave it to you whether that's okay or not. This was earlier in the day and yet the floor was dirty. I won't excuse that having an older property can't be kept clean AND maintained. The sushi that I picked up was dry and most definitely did not get the rice vinegar/sugar/salt treatment. The fish was not cut to the right standards and you can tell from the taste. I even got two of the rolls that the fish were inedible due to some durable-like sinewy running through it. Gross. They have Kopiko Coffee treats. These are potent. Love them. Try them! And their only other saving grace from an abysmal 1 star is the fresh made kimchi was actually very good and worth the buy, especially because it's packaged in a variety of sizes and undercuts prepackaged prices. Otherwise this store was not worth a trip to south Fresno for. read more

Central Fish Company - These are potent. Love them. Try them. - Seafood Near Me - Fresno, California

I went to central fish this previous week looking to purchase some fresh cod to make fish & chips. It's very fresh & the fishmonger cut my fish precisely. However, I didn't like how she didn't change her gloves after putting the fish in the bag to then wrap the bag in paper. Most people avoid Chinatown but if you're one of those folks, you're missing out on this historical hole in the wall. It's not dangerous and there's no transients. I've been going here for decades and for many more to come. If you're in downtown, it's definitely worth the stop. Unless you'd rather overpay for sub par fish. read more

Amazing. This place is pretty much half restaurant, half market. The pros of the grocery section; 1. A lot of imported delicacies and dry goods. They have everything from fresh fish to Japanese Oreo tasting cookies (a fav of mine), to Japaness imported Fanta and Monster, to meats. Also love their imported curry rice in the mylar pouch. 2. Pretty decent selection of domestic beers and IPAs - they got Tioga-Sequoia beers, Modelo, etc 3. Not just Asian oriented groceries, they have a lot of Creole and Mexican stuff as well. Great selection of seasonings. The restaurant portion; In my opinion, the true winner here. Service; 1. Lauren at the front end is always super friendly. 2. As is, the woman I presume to be the restaurant manager. I asked her and the gentleman working tonight to pack my teriyaki bowl really well as I had a 2 hour drive home. They understood the assignment, 6 hours later it was still warm! Those two deserve a raise! The prepped food; 1. Their beef teriyaki bowl is a must try. With broccoli, it's even better! 2. Their Basa fish and salad meal is a close second. I'm not a huge fan of most fish, but their preparation and frying of it is great. Paired with some tartar sauce makes for an excellent filling meal on the cheap. 3. Their salmon nuggets. Absolute perfection, order fries with it; thank me later. All in all, a hidden gem and a new favorite of mine. read more

I was super sad that this place did not meet my expectations. From the reviews and photos, I thought this would be a hot spot but fell short. I stopped into the market which look like a Chinese takeout restaurant. I wasn't sure where to go for my poke fix. When I finally found the front of the restaurant, there weren't much options for poke. It was basically salmon or tuna; regular or spicy. I wish there was an option to do half and half. When I received my food, I didn't realize but there were tons of toppings on top of my rice. To be honest, there were barely any rice. My salmon tasted super fishy which was tough to eat. Overall, I don't think it was legit poke. read more

Central Fish is very nostalgic for me. I grew up coming here with family from an hour away. On this day I ordered the salmon nuggets which according to them is a popular item. It was very delicious. I have to agree with that statement. It is breaded lightly and fried. The breading was thin and the nuggets were juicy considering its fish. It was not dry at all. Then I ordered the veggie tempura to top it off and it was very good. Fried to order. I will be back and I will recommend this place. From what I can tell the made daily fresh sushi looked very good. read more

It doesn't get fresher than Central Fish Company! I had popped in here before to grab groceries but finally had the chance to get here in time before they close. I wish I had come earlier though because I really wanted to try the scallops but they were sold out for the day! I like that several items like the sauces, paper towels, and utensils are available for us to self serve. All the food came out piping hot and crunchy and just so delicious. Fish and Fish: 5/5 if you're shying away from carbs, this is a great deal. We ordered this to split for a group of 4, giving everyone and extra filet. Shrimp and chips: 5/5 If you like shrimp, this is a must try Breaded squid: 4/5 The squid is reaaallly good and you can tell its good quality - only downside is that it was smaller than we expected so between the four of us we each got one bite. Vegetable tempura: 4/5 a little heavier on the batter than ideal, but not so much that we couldn't enjoy it! read more

It was good. Got the fried fish and chips, and Teriyaki chicken combo which comes with with side salad (comes with French dressing), tempura vegetables, and white rice. It was a good amount of salad, sauces were self serve on counter. Came out to $28 with a soda and water. Everything was good, but nothing to write home about. I did hear good things about the sushi from here, but they ran out. Will go back to try that out! read more

Was looking for a new teriyaki chicken go to, but unfortunately this isn't it. It was fine. Cheap compared to other places, but chicken was pretty fatty, I didn't finish a good portion of it due to this. Seemed like a decent Japanese market otherwise, lots of hard to find items. read more

I like to come here to treat myself to some raw salmon when I can. I be craving but sometimes it can be expensive cus then I end up wanting some of the mixed squid thing, seaweed salad and spicy mixed tuna lol.. so I try to resist. I usually do get the salmon. It's fresh and sushi grade. The best part is when I get the fatty pieces. U can tell them how much of it u want and even have them cut it for u sashimi style. The little store itself is pretty cool. They have a lot of imported Korean, Japanese and Chinese snacks, candies and noods!!! So many new things to try! I even heard they have a little shop upstairs compared to a mini daiso.. not sure if it's still there. I never been up there. I also never tried the restaurant side of the place. My review is strictly for the market. The service is always great. Everyone is nice. The outside area is a lil sketch. But it's not something I'm not used to here in Fresno lol. Might be bums across the st in the dirt field. Someone got stabbed last time and ran into the store for help. Shit crazy in Fresno! read more

Been going here for years and the place just keeps getting worse and worse. . I hardly ever write reviews, but this really needs one. There was a hair in my fries a while back ..that should've been the last time I went there... Returned today and got a teriyaki salmon plate.. For 18$ I got the most flavorless small SKINNY dry salmon I've have ever tasted. I don't know what that price is paying for because the salad and rice doesn't cost that much. Neither does the salmon. That plate is worth 8$ no more. If you're thinking about going there, you should find somewhere better. My family and I used to love this place, but we will not be returning after all the years of going. read more
