I try to be the Nate Silver of Yelp popularity statistics, analyzing and aggregating the metrics. Ordering the highest-ranked item at any new restaurant has a 94% success rate. But the awesome Fish Delish offers a slight conundrum as the fish-and-chips is a great choice but they're also crafting some other offerings that can't be found anywhere else. The salmon dog is great for the palate and for the 'gram. Even as someone who controversially extends the boundaries of what counts as hand food, I had to use a fork for this epic sandwich. The fish is great, as are the bells and whistles. Wasabi mayo is enticing but my favorite component was the smoked mozzarella. read more

My fish was very tasty, however it was a bit too crunchy for me. I think it was overcooked a bit. Served with tartar, fry and wasabi sauce. Friendly service. Easy parking back lot. read more

I've been wanting to try Fish Delish, and yesterday was the day! The casual restaurant is bright and inviting. I was very warmly greeted upon arrival. I tried the Clam Chowder, the Shrimp XL Truffle Sandwich, and Coleslaw. You order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table. The Chowder was tasty, and really hit the spot on a cold and dreary day. I would say that it needs more briny clam flavor. Still a solid soup. The star was my sandwich. Five plump, perfectly cooked shrimp are on a soft bun along with cucumber, arugula, grana padano cheese, and truffle sauce. This sandwich was divine! Truffle that you can actually taste, really elevated the flavor. This sandwich makes me want to try all of them. The coleslaw- which was a huge portion- was a perfect crispy, creamy side. Prices were very reasonable for the portion size and the quality. I cannot wait to go back for the lobster roll. Highly recommend read more

Absolutely delicious and so fresh the seafood is amazing. I love that nothing is processed and everything is made with fillet fish. You can't get fresher than this. It's BYOB and it's so cute inside definitely recommend. read more

My wife and co worker often eat at Fish Delish often. One evening my wife decided to bring some home.... Well now I know why they go so often. The food was very good well priced and traveled really well. It was piping hot when my wife arrived. Thank you Fish Delish! 590 Valley Road Montclair New Jersey... You won't be sorry. read more

What a gem! Not a glamorous storefront restaurant, but, probably one of the best seafood establishments we've eaten at. The food was delicious, fresh as could be, and first rate in quality of produce! We had the tuna and salmon, both exceeded our expectations. Service was warm, friendly, and welcoming, like visiting family. Vesna, the owner, guided us perfectly and engaged in pleasant conversation. The restaurant is basically in decor, but clean and comfortable. I'd rather have better food than posh seating anyway. This place is a definite must try! So happy we've found it. Going back soon for the lobster roll (Thursday-Saturday, I believe). Wishing them all the best. read more

Had a very nice lunch at 12:30 on a Monday. Very quiet and easy to catch up with a friend and talk. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. We were in the mood for shrimp so we ordered a Shrimp Delish Sandwich and a Shrimp Dog and split them. One had grilled shrimp and onion rings and one had fried shrimp and coleslaw. They were both absolutely delicious...the kind of delicious that you think about for hours afterwards. They were super fresh. They give you 3 sauces on the side so you can try them out. The small fries were only $2.50 and it is enough for 2 people. Cannot wait to go back and try the cod, lobster and salads. read more

Wifey and I came here before our son's choir concert in October. We were greeted with a big hello and the staff were super friendly when we arrived. Was hoping for the lobster roll, but they only had the cold option...but it wasn't a big deal because they have lots of options. Throughout the meal the staff came over to check on us and they were incredibly friendly. Wifey ordered the Salmon Delish w/ fries Grilled salmon, brioche bun, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and delish sauce... I had the Crispy Delish w/ sweet potato fries Fried cod, brioche hot dog bun, cole slaw, melted cheddar, pickled red onions, and fun sauce. They also brought us over three homemade dipping sauces (all mayo based)...Fun Sauce, Wasabi Sauce, and the Delish Sauce. I have to say, these were the BEST sweet potato fries either of us have ever had. Sandwiches were both amazing - fresh tasting and cooked perfectly. We loved that they are a BYOB place as well. I 100% recommend Fish Delish. We walked away very happy we stopped in on a whim. read more

We went here for my grandma's birthday dinner and the food/service was fantastic. Everything is so fresh and yummy. They have something for seafood lovers and non seafood eaters as well, so this is a great option for anyone. Take out or dine in - we never have a problem waiting for a table. Price points are valid for seafood + upper Montclair. read more

Placed order over the phone, Gail was patient and very polite. The restaurant is small with plenty of seating. My first time I ordered a few things. Spicy shrimp pasta was not spicy, small portion for the price but it was really good. Meh for the shrimp and chips. Fish and salad comes with two pieces of fried cod. The fish and shrimp need seasoning to stand out in this area. Pricey On street paid parking I would go back for the pasta read more

Wanted to love it, but can't fully get behind it. I went with the cod fish and chips, which costs almost $21 by itself after tax. The tiny, stringy fries had almost no starchy, potato-y interior and were definitely salty. The cod filets are tiny - you might find larger ones at a school cafeteria - and you only get two (it's $6 for an extra one). The classic crunchy battered breading was correctly executed, but the cod inside was practically flavorless. The cole slaw was briny and crunchy, making it a good palate cleanser. The tartar sauce was fine. Service is friendly in that the food was carefully delivered to my table. I'd try it again, but only because I love fast casual seafood. read more

We visited Fish Delish for a late lunch and were impressed! We ordered the Cod Delish Burger sandwich, fish and chips, and a Salmon Dog. A much healthier alternative to our consideration of a burger place. Not only was the food beautifully presented, but it was also incredibly delicious. The service was excellent, with thoughtful recommendations and great attention to detail. We ate outside, which made for a lovely experience, and the indoor decor was super cute. We'll definitely be back! read more

Fish Delish - Warm Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Montclair, New Jersey

AMAZING experience! It's great to have a seafood restaurant in the neighborhood! Veena gave us a warm welcome. We were contemplating what to order and she gave us recommendations. She was a gracious hostess and offered us selections on the menu to try for when we come back. The cod delish was great. I think it can do with two pieces of cod or a different bun that's not soft/brioche. The fried shrimp and chips were so fresh! Whatever you do, order the shrimp roll!! The shrimp is well seasoned. It comes with a bed of aioli and arugula. The fish and chips were fried to perfection. The seafood hero which is grilled red snapper on a Cuban hero was delicious. The skin is on the fish for those that are picky. Perfect bread for the fish and tasty! All the sauces are wonderful! Our favorite was the aioli with garlic, capers, etc. The restaurant is airy, light. Plenty of seating as well. You will find street parking in the area as well which isn't an issue. read more

The original business in this spot was the Cheese Shop, which transitioned to the Sandwich Shop, then Sandwich Theory and now Fish Delish. I have been supporting all the businesses in this space. A great healthy casual dining place on Valley Road. Who doesn't love a good lobster roll? I am a fan of their Shrimp XL, salmon dog, fish & chips, fish & sweet potato fries, and shrimp tortilla. Everything I have had is fresh and delicious. The staff is very nice and helpful with any questions you may have. I highly recommend trying Fish Delish! read more

Had takeout here for the first time and food was good. Ordered the fantasy salmon salad and squid ink pasta. Fresh and tasty.

Excellent. 10 out of 10. Adorable inside, although we did take out this time but will dine in next time for sure. It is so nice to have something quick and casual that is still high quality! We had fish and chips and fried shrimp and tuna bowl and a delicious cod sandwich stacked high on a brioche bun. The fish is crispy, the fries are perfection and all of the fish is fresh. The seasoning, presentation and combination of flavors and generous portions will have me craving Fish Delish all the time. If you haven't stopped by yet please give it a try. Trust me. read more

Been coming here for over a year and the food always hits the spot. Everything I've ordered has been carefully prepared with different flavors that blend perfectly together.

The owners have sweet and welcoming vibes which is important for people making your food. read more
