Loved this authentic Harlem spot. Probably the best catfish and whiting in the world. The portions sizes are huge! Can easily share. Please note that they only accept cash but there's an atm on the premises. The staff is lively lovely and amazing truly! You will wait especially on Saturday up to an hour for food but it's worth it! Delicious delicious. I got a little bit of everything and I loved it. Now my favorite spot read more

Best fried fish I have EVER had. We go the catfish and shrimp. I'm not a big fan of catfish but I enjoyed the fish here. The batter and seasoning were spot on. I'm from Los Angeles and there are plenty of fried fish joints but none I have had compare. Had plenty of meals in NY this trip but this was the best meal I had on this trip. Definitely will make this a must every time I'm in town. read more

The kind of place you look forward to going to and doesn't disappoint. Wonderfully seasoned before frying, not over-caked with breading, and the seafood itself is tender and well-cooked. The shrimp have a very slightly sweet, almost coconut-y, flavor. Mac and cheese was good, could perhaps have been melted through a bit more when it was baked. The service runs smoothly and quickly. The menu has a good variety and combinations--they know what people like to order. Greens are cooked with turkey. Corn bread is on Fridays only. No chicken on Fridays. Cash only. ATM in-restaurant. The food holds up well to eat later if commuting. There is a window bar you could eat at in-restaurant but there are usually so many people, it would feel crowded to sit and eat. read more

This spot has been a beloved landmark in Harlem for decades, known for its delicious seafood at prices that won't break the bank! I usually try to avoid fried foods, but every now and then, you just have to indulge and enjoy a little cheat day! read more

My rating is not because of the food, it is delicious. They have an online option to place an order. TWO DAYS in a row I placed an online order then was refunded my money because they could not fill the order. I have ordered online from them, so I knew it was an option. It they cannot fulfill online orders they should take this option off their website. This is very disappointing and I will not be ordering online from them again. read more

Food was very tasty, fresh and sooo delicious. Alex the owner was very friendly! Customer service was on point! Im going back tomorrow just to try his peach cobbler! 100% recommended!!!! read more

Solid fish and chips. The fried catfish was perfection! Great portion for the price. Wolfed it down before I remembered to take a picture.

whoever says this isnt one of the best fish spots in the 5 boroughs had an unusual experience or plain lying. The line sucks at times. But that comes with great food. But they are not lacking by any means just busy. My go to for fried seafood and I live in Brooklyn read more

Interesting local neighborhood joint. NOT A DESTINATION place. Small local neighborhood order and go spot. They only accept cash but very reasonably priced seafood menu with potato salad, greens, Mac n cheese, and candied yams for sides. The menu needs to be updated it is more than what is posted on signage in store and on website. The actual location is a small flat roll in manual glass door in middle of block. It is obvious that it is a local spot not very courteous or inviting of first timers and new customers. The catfish was exceptional! The sides were mixed. Bread is by request only but you wouldn't know unless you pay attention to the old timers order. It was an interesting experience that I would have passed on if I knew the trip from Brooklyn to Harlem was not not worth it. The long trip on the bus was not equal to the experience meant to celebrate the last day of the semester. If I lived in the vicinity of 116th street in Harlem it would have been different, based on this I can I nly reccomend if you or work near by it. CASH ONLY TAKE OUT ONLY read more

Make my fish is your local spot to get a nice fish fry. The place itself is like a hole in the wall so don't expect to dine in or bring a date. This place is perfect for a quick lunch, snack for eating at the park or any other casual scenario. The food is not greasy and they generally make the food quickly. Just don't expect too much in terms of seasoning and flavor. On the other hand they do offer and provide plenty of sauces with every dish. I usually get the . whiting or salmon. Their sides are pretty hefty considering so you will get value for your dollar. The location itself is kinda ugly, and off putting imho, so I opt to use their delivery service. It's saved me in a pinch and although there are more upscale places you know Make my Fish exists for a good reason. read more

The fish was just like I remember when I used to live in New York City. It was late afternoon so I didn't get to taste the sides because they had sold out next time. I'm in New York. I will come earlier but once again the fish was superb. I wanted to slap somebody. read more

I still think about the catfish dinner I had from here. Catfish was perfectly seasoned and remained crispy! None of that soggy fish business over here. My leftovers even heated up nicely in the air fryer. I chose the grits w/cheese and Mac sides which were also delicious. I wish the grits had less cheese but that's a preference. Next time I'll get the plain grits and lemonade. Shoot I'll add a dessert if they have it too. Cash only! But there's an ATM. read more

So good! Somebodies aunty made this, put her whole foot in this meal. I need the recipes lol I only order online though so can't tell you about the ambiance. read more

2 for 1 fish dinner was cold and fish dried out. Tast like fish was cooked days ago. What is more to say? So so sorry, the store is called Tast of seafood not make my fish. read more

Excellent taste in the food they prepare and served. A long wait but its worth it. Wide section menu.

Just received a takeout order. Very sloppily packaged, with grease spots on the brown bag. Kinda ghetto. The mac & cheese was very good. Establishment should spend a little extra on packaging. read more

The food is amazing even the hot sauce is great.The service was great we didn't wait long for our food .

Sorry the Hype of Make my Fish is just that....The Greasy Catfish was enough to fill a Dixie Peach Jar!!!! Disappointed and sad......I don't understand when you have a formula that works in the beginning try to stick with the consistency...check out who you hire and have the cooks follow the recipe.....GOD Awful GREASY FISH!!!! read more

I felt like my mom had cooked the fish. It was delicious. Also we had a delivery and it arrived hot. Will definitely order from there again.

I've never been in this establishment but my neighbor frequents it and always shares the food with me. Every time it's very good. The fish is hot, crunchy, and well seasoned. I don't like tartar sauce, but it goes well with the fish and hot sauce. Hopefully one day I can make it and buy some myself. read more

This is for the FOOD; and SERVICE ONLY .. I came here to get a quick Fish and Shrimp combo .also a side of cole slaw. Now this place is small ..it's some bar stools but not many ..They were very orderly in taking orders plus friendly 10/10.. They gave me bread and all the condiments (tartar;ketchup; hot sauce) THE ONLY issue is there was a bit of a smell .. it smelled like a bit of a litter box ..but we live in NYC plus the place was clean ...THE FISH ...was delicious ..CRISPY ; Hot and balanced seasoning. Many people were ordering their Catfish ..One lady described how she comes here once a month from lower Manhattan because of the Catfish ! So yes I will be ordering again and my bill total was in the lower twenties ! Not a date friendly spot..just get your hot fish and Go ..Thank me later ..Oh if you have anxiety ; then this isn't the neighborhood for you .. read more

Fast service! Fish was deliciously crispy yet not greasy. However the banana pudding wasn't what I expected. It was a little on the generic side. They used a bitter cookie on top instead of the original vanilla wafer. read more

Terrible!! Always not available for delivery and no phone at this establishment! Ordered once on grubhub and order was completely wrong! read more

I hardly ever leave a review but I had to for this place. The food was absolutely delicious. I had shrimp and fish and collards and it was some of the best I've ever eaten. I'm from NC and I know good seafood and country cooking. The folks there know how to do it too. The guys behind the counter were extremely nice and the service was spot on. I will definitely go back there. read more

Kindest place ever. I was about to order the fish and chips, then a woman asked if I would Ike samples. I said sure. Then I asked if they accept contactless Apple Pay, and she said no. Bummer. But she still brought me the samples and I informed her I have no way to pay for anything and she said that's fine - her boss likes to do this. So kind! I tried the whitey, catfish, and shrimp. The catfish was hands down the best. I'll have to return! Thank you for your kindness! read more

Sorry got sick to my stomach to greasy and discolored fish won't be back anytime soon

I came here about 2 weeks ago! I ordered the shrimp & whiting combo and the wings. The shrimp were jumbo shrimp and really delicious. The whitings were very small but tasty. Chicken wings were big. I happen to like my wings small... read more

The fish is fresh & good portion. The wait is sometimes long but I think it's worth it. Ambiance is 'Harlem fish spot',so it's not a fancy place. read more

Love love love. I wish they had dine in. I like to frequent during my lunch break but have ordered outside of work as well. Catfish is amazing. Definitely recommend read more

Food is amazing best fish and shrimp I've had in a long time with a perfect blend of seasoning. I usually go on Friday evenings there is always a crowd but with their great service it moves extremely fast. I recommend Make My Fish 100% you won't be disappointed. read more

Great place to go if you're craving some fish and chips (or catfish, shrimp, grits, etc). NO FRILLS. Good for sharing or for yourself. $8.25 CASH only. Other items vary in price. Super casual, nothing fancy. A small wait as they freshly fry up your meal. Sides available but I didn't order any since I was just ordering for myself. The meal itself was a bit heavy for me but it was delicious nonetheless. Good place to come back to. Their sauce options: tartar, hot sauce, ketchup read more

The fish (I got the catfish) is fried perfectly and seasoned so well! Truly the star of the show (which goes without saying). The fries were just typical frozen fries and the Mac and cheese was admittedly a bit underwhelming but you come here for the fish! read more

My food is always amazing never a problem. This last time I ordered all shrimp and got shrimp and fries it's no big deal I just hate to waste food because I never eat the fries. But other than that imma always be a returning customer read more

Catfish was excellent! Fries could use a little work but still good. Very busy but staff kept it smooth.

Make my fish is definitely a good spot for fish and chips. I went to see what was the difference between them and Famous Fish as I have heard that the owners are apart of the same family. Both spots are great I'm an original Famous Fish customer and I still prefer Famous Fish as my favorite spot but Make My Fish is good as well! read more

I would think it's better in person. Having a large order delivered did not carry well.

The food was amazing, seasoned just right and you get plenty of it to fill you up. There is no real seating or waiting area so be prepared to stand and feel like you're in the way. Also it doesn't look like you can order online anymore so you have to go in person. Only downside is you will be waiting a minimum of 20mins so don't go if you have time constraints read more

Great meal. We had Whiting which was fresh and well prepared. Be prepared with cash (there is an ATM in the establishment). No eat in facilities available. read more

This spot is popping . Food was great. Definitely going back the fish was cooked to perfection the shrimp was fire and the Mac and cheese with yams was on point . Two people can share the dinner it's that much food. read more
