I seriously think this is the best fried seafood I've ever had. Everything was perfectly crunchy on…read morethe outside and perfectly cooked on the inside, flaky, tender and juicy fish, not over cooked or dry at all. The french fries were perfectly crunchy on the outside too. The woman behind the counter was a sweetheart and the whole thing with two pieces of Whiting, three scallops, and five shrimp cost $8.40 with tax included. I left $10 and still felt like I should have left more. It's a hole in the wall with two tiny tables so if you're looking for a place to take a date it's only good if your date is me... If you want atmosphere you're gonna pay for it and the food probably won't be as good as this place. They are also a fish market that sells all the same seafood that they fry up for you behind the counter plus more. So if you feel like cooking you can pick up the same quality fish by the pound. Cant wait to go back and try the calamari and the porgy!

(Citarella has numerous locations (& thus Yelp pages) in NY, but since my online order came from…read morethe Bronx, I chose this page to leave my review.) Citarella, how do I love thee. Let me count the ways! At least let me count the ways from a distance via ordering through your website. Both hubby & I were born & bred on the Long Island, NY, waterfront, & thus both of us have a serious background in catching (or buying) & cooking quality seafood. When we moved to Virginia more than 20 years ago, the lack of same was really our only singular hit of culture shock. Luckily, times have changed, & we can now purchase decent seafood from at least a small number of fairly close venues. And then I happened upon Citarella. Actually, I'd known of Citarella for some time, as they are apparently the only vendor offering "scungilli" (whelk, a close relative of conch), which is an Italian delicacy that - even though I'm not Italian - I was introduced to as a child & have loved ever since. Twenty years ago I was able to purchase it around Xmas time up at the Martin's in Winchester, VA, but no luck since then. When dear husband purchased the Citarella seafood cookbook "Joe Knows Fish" for me this past Xmas, it came with a free shipping certificate for any seafood purchased from the store. Not too shabby if you know what overnight shipping costs these days. So I gleefully purchased 2# of frozen scungilli as well as 1# of fresh Mako shark steaks. Everything arrived beautifully packaged with enough frozen gel packs to momentarily halt global warming. We enjoyed the shark steaks that very night, & they were as fresh & pristine as if we'd caught the fish ourselves. Absolutely delicious! Sliced up a pound of the scungilli the other night & served it true Italian style - in a wonderful zippy red sauce over spaghetti. (I even did a red drip candle thing over a raffia-coated Chianti bottle for true old-style NY Italian restaurant effect - lol!). The scungilli was tender, delicious - wonderful! Fast forward to last week when Citarella sent me a 50%-off-shipping coupon towards my next order - just in time for the Chinese Lunar New Year. Couldn't let that fly by! Ordered a 2# whole Black Sea Bass for delivery yesterday. One gets "butchering" options, & mine was for "cleaned, but head & tail left on". Fish arrived right on time & was perfectly cleaned - completely scaled, all fins removed, gutless. Again - fish looked as if it had just jumped out of the water - clear-eyed, fresh, not a whiff of "fish". Heaven! I steamed that baby last night Chinese-style (for luck in the New Lunar Year), & we devoured every bit. Needless to say, I see more orders for interesting seafood from Citarella heading my way in the future. Yes, I'll still purchase from our favorite local folks - Wegmans in Gainesville & Lobster Maine-ia in Chantilly - but when I want something different or special that's not available locally, Citarella it will be. Yes, prices are high & shipping is abominable, but you do get what you pay for.

Tired of beef steaks, come get your fish steaks. The salmon looks great here. Everything looks great here. Walk in through the front doors and notice something? No fishy odor, just fresh fish. Let's cover the layout and ground rules. On your left, you have immediately the whole fish. Further back on your left, you have the fillets and steaks. All the usual suspects are here. All the way back on your left, you will find the various sized farm raised shrimp. Around that left corner, moving from left to right you will find the wild caught shrimp. In the middle at the back, is the register where you will eventually pay. Immediately below and in front of the register are the veggies: broccoli, carrots, corn, onions. To the right of the register in the back are the mussels, scallops, and clams. On the right as you walk in, there is one of the busiest counters with a guy steaming all your orders in a giant steamer behind the counter. Walk a little further toward the back on the right side is a guy who is busy frying fish and French fries, making fish sandwiches, and frying whatever whiting, catfish or shrimp you desire. Further back on your right toward the back is where you can obtain your crab legs and lobster. Given this was my first time, I am laying out the ground rules and procedures. Use the tongs everywhere to load your seafood in the steel bowls by the seafood on your left or in the middle of the store on a few tables. You take your bowl or bowls to the guy at the register in the back and pay for your items by weight and their various price rates. Most things are between $10-$20 per pound. Cash is King, but I believe they take Master and Visa, not American Express. Tell the guy how you want your seafood prepared: fried or steamed. He will slice your fillets and chop your corn, placing everything in a plastic basket if you want it steamed together or separately if you're going to fry certain things. He will give you a number for every basket and place the identical number in each basket for tracking. If you're frying, take that basket to the second station or counter on the right. If you're steaming, take your basket to the first station on your right as you enter. The guy at the steaming counter with liberally add the Old Bay, garlic and other seasonings to your seafood. If want low sodium, this is where you tell him to limit the salt. This is also in retrospect, when I would emphasize to the steaming guy not to overcook your seafood. Many of my people (African Americans) and from what I observe among the Latino community like everything cooked well: steaks medium well to well done, eggs scrambled hard, veggies cooked to death and seafood cooked well done. So this is the default expectation and the guy will steam to that degree. The cooking and steaming will continue on your way home, so I would in retrospect advise cutting the steam time by at least five minutes. Your shrimp will suffer the most from over steaming and this would likely apply to your lobster as well. Keep this is mind and let the guy at the steamer know you wish to limit the steam time. My overcooked shrimp is reflected in this rating, but there is more upside when I return. When the steaming is done or overdone, he will announce your number and bag your seafood. You can and should ask him to add laddles of melted butter to your bag of seafood. Tell him how many laddles of butter you want added to your bag(s). He will add more seasoning at this point as well if you ask him. He will twist the bag(s) closed and place them in a plastic container with rubber bands for the trip home. It's all so very delicious and I will return. Two fillets of catfish, two fillets of cod, about a dozen Tiger shrimp and at least a dozen large scallops with the veggies came to $71. I find this quite reasonable and it tastes so good. If you want your shrimp deveined, they have the ones with the shells taken off and deveined. Go home, crack a beer and devour! 3.8 stars!
