Packed with long lines for a reason! They give great food for great prices! We came on a busy Saturday for lunch and only waited about 20 minutes for 4 dishes- Calamari, New England chowder, Fish N Chips, and a Salmon Burger. The Calamari was good and crispy, the chowder was delicious, Fish N Chips did not disappoint or taste fishy and were perfectly crispy, and the Salmon Burger was also good (only $10)!! We found seating right outside of the store Spun. read more

Great customer service and food was amazing, this is truly a gem and a must try! Ambiance is stellar, and gives true A2 vibes!

Came for lunch the other day. It wasn't very busy, the service was fantastic and quick. It feels very homey and like a hidden gem that people don't really seem to know about. I ordered the salmon teriyaki and paid a very reasonable price for an amazing meal. Very filling and tasty. Will definitely be returning! read more

Monahan's Seafood Market - Salmon Teriyaki - Seafood Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Monahan's is inside Kerrytown Market. The fish and chips aren't crispy. They probably need to be twice-fried. The portion sizes are small. I purchased the salmon teriyaki plate ($16.95) and it only comes with rice that does not even fill up the entire plate. No vegetables. The seafood here tastes fresh but the execution, presentation, and lack of extra sides are disappointing. read more

I wish I checked out Monahan's during the six years I lived in Ann Arbor. They sell fresh seafood here, which I knew about, but I didn't know they also had cooked foods available to purchase. After hearing about the delicious soups here from a couple friends, I grabbed lunch with a friend here yesterday late morning. BERNIE'S FABULOUS CHOWDER OF THE DAY (PINT) Today, the chowder of the day was the classic New England Clam Chowder, one of my favorites. It was creamy without being overly fatty. It was rich and hearty, with a good amount of clam and potatoes. Overall, it was one of the better New England Clam Chowders I've had, and I can understand the hype. Each order comes with two small slices of baguette, lightly spread with butter, perfect for enjoying with the soup. FRIED CALAMARI The order comes with a generous portion of fried calamari, mostly "tube" shaped, with a few tentacles mixed in. We enjoyed the tentacles more because they were crispier and packed with more seasoning and flavor. Some of the tube-shaped calamari, however, was on the soggier side and a bit bland. Overall, it's a good dish for sharing. SALMON TERIYAKI Each order comes with a big piece of salmon marinated in teriyaki sauce, swerved with a side of rice topped with black sesame seeds. The salmon was grilled well, but the teriyaki sauce didn't contribute much flavor. Overall, the dish was quite bland, and I wouldn't order this again. I definitely recommend giving the soups a try at Monahan's. There are some tables to enjoy the food indoors. read more

Their oysters are so fresh and delicious! I love coming back now and then for a treat. Their fish and chips is also crispy and I love the dip that goes with it. Their calamari also tastes fresh, though not as crunchy. The Thai peanut sauce that comes with it is okay, I think the calamari tastes better by itself. A must-visit for fresh seafood! read more

This is the only place in Ann Arbor where you can find a lobster roll. No need to go to Boston. They also make an assortment of seafood plates to order and if you go there in person you can watch them customize each plate for you. You can also buy a bottle of fine wine right next to them at Everyday Wines. read more

Really good fish! Worth the drive here from Tecumseh! A great place to visit and shop.

I was hungry and I went to Kelly town where this market is. I got a fish dinner, it was reasonable price for the portion size . There is a market here as well. It is a small place, and prices may be a little more than larger size market, but check it out. read more

I love this place! It's such a gem of a place. It's fun to hangout and eat fresh oysters or bring home amazing fish! I love too that they will order you anything you want for fish and shellfish. High recommend!! read more

Best lunch in Ann Arbor, and If I am in town and available, I show up for it regularly. Today, the wonderfully friendly Monahan family and staff served a delicious fish chowder that was very slightly curried. After my scrumptious fish sandwich (my "usual"), I took home a container of Bernie's delicious soup for my dinner. Thank you, Monahan's team! You are the best! read more

Daily seafood specials and very affordable . Food is made to order and the fries are hand cut, delicious food. I will be going back to try their soft shell crab sandwiches when they have them in season. read more

According to William Shakespeare, "A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm." So, fish is part of the great chain of being and Monahan's needs to be in your chain. Monahan's is part of Kerrytown Market. Quality of fish and caliber of service are the hallmarks here. In particular, the fish wrapped in paper is superb. The fish is fresh and the ingredients they add to the paper are outrageously good. I also bought cod cheeks which were stupendous. According to P.J. O'Rourke, "Fish is the only food that is considered spoiled once it smells like what it is." While contemplating your purchase, please ruminate on this quote. read more

Great fish taco special. Get the green salsa verde! Loved this place. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Truly an Ann Arbor foodie treasure. Great fresh fish to take home and cook as well as great dine in/to go options. The fish and chips are fast, delicious and a great price to boot. read more

Located inside Kerrytown Merchants in the fabulous Ann Arbor! I had the fish and chips and it was great! You can eat inside but it is in a small confined area. It is more so a place to get a carry-out! Service was quick from placing order to actually getting it! You have to pay for parking but it is reasonable! The food prices are pretty reasonable too! I definitely recommend checking it out sometime and it is fun to browse Sparrow Market! read more

Fresh Fresh FRESH seafood and ingredients. What more could you ask for?!? The quality matched the atmosphere - amazing! We came in for lunch and boy did we leave full and satisfied. Especially love getting Fried shrimp and not feeling greasy or heavy afterwards. Everything came out perfect. I got the seafood chowder with bread/butter - so filling and creamy. Also the bread was super soft and buttered to perfection. Side of fries - yum. Jump Shrimp that came fried with cocktail sauce. Shrimp were big and juicy and perfectly fried. read more

Good seafood shop. Nothing fancy, but the food is good a reasonably priced. ..........................

This is a great place for some fresh fish to eat (or take home). We were passing through Ann Arbor and this was a cool place to stop. There are several other vendors/shops here too. The fish and chips were crispy without being oily. The shrimp gazpacho hit the spot on a hot day. There is seating outside right by by the pickup counter. There are some tables inside by the sewing store (Spun). read more

My absolute fave!! Cheap, fast, and always fresh. Service is super accommodating and there's plenty of alternate seating if their usual area is full. Love Monahan's!! read more

Consistently incredible and top-quality fish. Love their daily specials. I'd eat here daily if budget allowed.

Just add me to the list of people who love this place. Great service. Owner is awesome and accommodating. The freshest seafood in town. The soup is decadent. read more

I stopped in late on Friday (1:45 pm) after getting off the train. Hungry, I stopped by the area knowing I could find options. Even though it's past the lunch hour rush, it's a good crowd. Unfortunately, the line was a bit disorganized and confusing. It's a jump upfront to the glass to get called on next type of situation. There is not distinction between raw seafood grocery order and dine in/takeout order. After about 10 minutes of no traction and others jumping to the front, I utilized that strategy to place my lunch order. It would be 10 minutes for my order (panko crispy fish sandwich for $10.95) I'm told. I head to the end and see four stools. I wait there and watch them prep. There is great care for the French fries and fried shrimp. When I get my sandwich the lettuce, tomato, and onion is fresh. The fish was a disappointment. Battered, it was still dripping of oil. I held it up the entire time so that excess oil would come off. The fish was bland, no salt, no taste of fish. Maybe I ordered the wrong item. I might give them another shot, but wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Are you a seafood fanatic? Then get yourself to Monahan's. Are you a HARDCORE seafood fanatic? Then head to their website and sign up for the "Friday Fish Report" email which has up to the minute updates to let you know what specials they have that week so you can get the freshest, most delicious fish they have available. Their website is also a fount of knowledge. Just this week I learned that one of the most hideous fish I've ever seen, the monkfish, is apparently delicious in soups, bouillabaisse, gumbos and stews. And they also have recipes to test it out! Not into cooking for yourself? Lunch hours are from 11am-3pm on M-Saturdays (Sundays are for bagels and lox during the same hours) and feature everything from a chowder of the day to shrimp gazpacho in the summertime, to salmon burgers and the most delicious fish and chips. Fresh oysters, too! You can even pick a fish from the case and they'll prepare it for you. Every fish I've ever purchased, as well as shrimp and calamari, has been delicious and unbelievably fresh. I'm not sure I'm ready for the monkfish but I'm glad they're educating people on other kinds of sustainable seafood. We're lucky to have them here in Ann Arbor! read more

***** Fresh food. Prepared well. Excellent service. Grab a friend and enjoy the experience. Make sure to take something home with you to prepare a meal too... read more

I stumbled across this shop while exploring Kerrytown Market and was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the special for the day which was a Thai Shrimp lunch. It was just the perfect balance of spicy and tasty. It was a bit crowded inside as it is just a counter with very minimal seating inside the market. I wouldn't go there if I wasn't getting something to go, or a party of 2. If it isn't peak time you could probably get some seating for 4. Would recommend! Good price, great seafood. read more

Fresh fish! Fresh fish! Fresh fish! Fresh fish! Fresh fish! Fresh fish! Fresh fish! Fresh fish! Fresh fish!

This place was really fun! A friend and I had lunch. At first it was very overwhelming, loud and confusing as to where we should eat, but we figured it out. There are lots of communal areas to eat in Kerrytown. I got fish and chips and it was pretty good. My friend got the special (oyster po-boy) and I tried a bite and it pretty interesting! I can't wait to go back and try the tilapia to go. Looks delicious. Thanks for this local gem downtown. The vibe is fun. read more

I have been a Monahan's a handful of times to buy smoked salmon, fresh fish, shrimp, etc but this review is for their cooked foods! Monahan posts their lunch specials every day on their social media. One fateful Wednesday, I was browsing near lunch time and their baja fish tacos caught my eye. I was born and raised in SoCal and I love me some baja fish tacos. It was super easy to call and place a pick up order. I was really impressed by the value -- for ~$10, it was big pieces of fried fish! As you can see in the photo, it's on a decent sized flour tortilla. It's not a full 12" tortilla BUT the fact that the fish filled that up speaks to the size. The fish was PERFECTLY fried. Not a soggy bit in sight. It was served with a cabbage slaw with some light mayo. Appreciated the little container of tapatio as well. I felt like I was transported back to the sunny shores of San Diego, CA! All of Monahan's lunch specials look fantastic, so I'll be back for pick up! read more

A small menu, but if they specialize in seafood, that's ideal. They have fresh whole fish on ice you can pick and have them cook for you, like the fishing vessel just dropped them off. This place is always absolutely jammed on the weekends. The staff are all really casual and personable. Fun hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. read more

Tried their fried pollock and chips. Although I prefer cod, the pollock was pretty good. I think they toss the fries in butter which made them tasty. I wanted the Thai shrimp again but it's only available on Wednesdays. read more
