Penn Avenue Fish Market is a hidden gem that absolutely nails fresh seafood. Takeout or dine-in,…read moreeverything is top-notch, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and always ready to make your visit smooth. The English-style cod with mac & cheese and slaw? Enough for two sandwiches and utterly delicious. The Sneaky Pete with slaw and grain salad is a go-to, and the swordfish sandwich is insanely fresh. This place may look unassuming, but the flavors are bold and unforgettable. Soups, sandwiches, or just browsing the fresh fish case...Penn Ave has everything a seafood lover dreams of. Skip the usual fried options; here, freshness and service both shine.

It was a complete zoo walking in the Strip District on a Saturday given its status as Pittsburgh's…read moretourist hub. It reminded this San Franciscan so much of Fisherman's Wharf and the teeming masses that course through packed sidewalks. Looking for lunch turned out to be a huge undertaking because queues were endless. Except here. It made me wonder if I wasn't aware of some known deficiency in their seafood. It's a two-part business, a fresh fish market on one side and a dining room and sushi bar on the other. The menu was initially overwhelming because food items were meticulously listed on several chalkboards arranged around the order space. There were lots of sushi options, but I wasn't in the mood and went for the $12 Fish Tacos, two of them with a combination of tuna, salmon, and swordfish encased in soft corn tortillas with tomato and cabbage (Photo 8). Tasty, quite fresh, and just enough as I sat in the relative quiet of the dining room. Peace in the Strip. FOOD - 4 stars...fresh fish variety was a nice touch AMBIANCE - 4 stars...the dining room calmed my nerves SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly and attentive TOTAL - 4 stars...a place I can recommend in the Strip RELATED - Exploring Pittsburgh?

We had high hopes for the sushi here and we were not disappointed…read more Our sushi chef was lovely. Very cool guy. He sliced and diced with so much ease and made us a beautiful salmon with pineapple roll. It was also amazing fresh. We went upstairs to the dining room which kinda lacks ambiance but it's worth having the food that fresh. Great experience just remember it closes at 4pm and 5pm most days.

Absolutely delicious because of the freshness of the product. Next time I am in Pittsburgh I am doing a fish and chips tour and I'll start out here. Highly recommend!

Absolute chaos trying to pick up online ordered Easter dinner. One young woman at the pickup table…read moreand literally 75 to 100 people in a line going out the door, to pickup their orders. It was so unorganized, people getting irritated and shoppers unable to move around the store because of the winding line out the door. Maybe next year have 2 or 3 people taking names for pickup. Also, I could have just walked in and got my ham and 2 sides right from deli without having to stand in line for 45 minutes. Do better Fresh Market!

I can't even make this up, every staff member we interacted with was incredibly rude and…read moredismissive. The employee helping us was not helpful at all and seemed annoyed by every question we asked. I was asking about different cuts of meat, and instead of explaining them, he made faces as if I should already know the answers. You're a butcher, helping customers understand the products is literally part of the job. When I asked about ribs and how many I wanted, his response was, "Well, that's going to be $300," delivered with a sarcastic attitude that made us feel unwelcome. Throughout the entire interaction, it felt like we were inconveniencing the staff simply by asking questions. Customer service was extremely disappointing, and the rude treatment completely ruined what should have been a straightforward shopping experience. I won't be returning and would not recommend this business to anyone expecting basic courtesy and professionalism.
