I purchased four fish cakes from Parks Seafood. I had purchased them before on Good Friday and they were delicious. However, this time not so much! I got food poisoning from them as did my husband! I vomited for over an hour, cold sweats and dizziness. My husband wanted to take me to the hospital but I was just too weak to move. I will never buy ANY fish from them again. They have gone hill fast! what was once a great fish market is now dreadful. Buyer Beware. they probably froze them, defrosted and refrozen the fish cakes and I was the unfortunate person who bought them! read more

I ordered five items at a cost of $54.22. The cleaned calamari was not added to my bag even though I paid for the item. I did not discover this until I began to cook on Christmas day.. of course, they were closed. The Whiting and Sea Bass actually tasted 'fishy'. There were too many Muscles that had broken shells not all the Clams opened after cooking. A waste of money and time.. it ruined my Christmas dinner.. never again. read more

This is a fish store that has been serving residents in this neighborhood for a long time. I know that the owner goes to wholesalers early in the morning to purchase fresh fish. Highly recommended. read more

I went there sat and spent $60 on a pound of old Chilean sea-bass that tasted soooo fishy and a dozen of dead oysters and an oyster tool. He told me the bass and oysters were fresh. The guy (probably not the owner) was also sexist. I told him I'll shuck my oysters but he said "I don't think you can do it". Well he said that because I'm a female. I was pissed and I did tell him that he is rude and should not say such thing. read more

Parks is a generational store in our family. We have been going there for years to purchase our seafood. The store is immaculate. Their seafood is fresh. Their staff is hospitable and polite. They treat you with respect, and as if you are their friend. I've lived in North Queens for 30 years, and have patron their store on a weekly basis, and have placed my seafood orders with them during the Christmas holidays. They are the only fish store that we will patron in the area. read more

I really appreciate having fresh fish and seafood available to me in my neighborhood. I shop at Parks often, I buy whole fish, Salmon, Halibut Swordfish Tuna, actually everything I have tried is outstanding and fresh. The staff are very nice and helpful as well. read more

I am always in there have clams shucked, I also come in for fresh squid for my fishing trips. Now I buy species of fish to eat that i cant catch here. Great store Ronnie read more

The prices are a little bit more expensive but the quality of the inventory they carry is really top notch. From dozens of fresh cuts of fish (salmon/ flounder/ fluke/ etc) to their wide variety of shell fish, live lobster, shrimp and huge clusters of crab legs (snow/ king - frozen), you know the quality of their inventory is really good. Either the run rate of their inventory goes quickly or they only present the good stuff and maybe turnover the older products which is what i would expect them to do. The owners/ workers are nice and the place is very clean unlike many other seafood markets I have visited (either stand alone or in super markets). Pricier but with much better quality for sure. read more

Didn't even smell fishy when I walked in. Everything was super clean, I bought a dozen of dry jumbo scallops, $25. Can you go wrong! The scallops smelled fresh and barely had any sand. I will most definitely go back and try other stuff, everything looked very fresh and delicious. read more

Wow, I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. Duuuuuuude. This is the only place to go for fresh seafood. The options here are endless, and I've never had a bad experience here. I've tried the following items: - giant tiger shrimp - giant regular shrimp (I prefer this to the tiger shrimp) - jump shrimp both peeled and unpeeled (peeled is only $1-2/lb more I think...so worth it) - octopus (mmm braised and then tossed with red wine vinegar and olive oil mmmmmmm) - mussels - dry jumbo scallops (get the dry-packed ones if you're going to sear them) - several variety of clams (for pasta with clam sauce, clam chowder, grilling, etc) - all kinds of whole and fillets of fish (whole arctic char is awesome!) Everything is fresh and good, and if you want EXTRA fresh stuff, ask the people who assist you with your order for what's freshest that day. The people who work there are really nice and helpful, and have always steered me in the right direction whenever I ask for recommendations. Yeah you can go to H-mart or Stop and Shop and buy seafood, but why not go to people who specialize in it? I go to a butcher for my meat and to Park's for my seafood, and that's that. You are what you eat, and if I'm going to spend my money on something, I want to spend my month on the best I can afford. Oh, and speaking of money, the prices here are very comparable to any grocery store, IMO. I've seen regular farmed salmon for similar prices in both H-mart and Stop and Shop, except at Park's, you also have a bunch of other different options for salmon (wild-caught, King salmon, steaks, salmon heads, etc etc). I highly recommend this seafood place. It's the best, cleanest, friendliest one I've ever been to. read more

The market is homey and well-kept. I purchased two (2) pounds of "sushi-grade" salmon for my pre-birthday lunch today and it was $17.45 per lb. This type of salmon is not on display, so I had to ask the fish cutter. The cut was fresh, my only gripe is the price. I may come back again for another special occasion in the future. read more

Great prices, really friendly employees & they are attentive & helpful. Some of the best prices I've ever seen for fresh seafood in New York. I live in Brooklyn & i come all the way here for seafood. That says a lot. read more

Poor customer service. They mix the oysters fresh and not fresh together. I paid lemon when I check out they forget it The old Korean man Need learn his mom how to respect people read more

Fresh fish, well kept store, carry wide variety of seafood. Specialty Salmon is a favorite and hard to find elsewhere. Ask for Arctic Char, it's the best! read more

When it comes to fish markets this place takes buying fish to another level. The selection is amazing and the grade and quality you cannot beat. It's personalized service as well. They shop with you and weigh it and bag it. They are very helpful and obviously, know their fish and customers. Excellent!! If you are Italian and do the whole Christmas Eve fish thing, this is the place you want to start.....it's all about freshness. read more

Park's Seafood & Fish Market - Making court bullion for linguini and calm sauce.....the trout looked great too. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Whitestone, New York

I been getting my fish from there many years always fresh all kinds of fish not a bargain place but quality fish and fresh wish there prices was a little cheaper read more

BUYER BE AWARE! This place claims to sell sushi grade salmon but that's a LIE! Friend came last week to ask if the salmon was frozen prior to test if they truly sell what they claim, and the lady said "no no never frozen". If it wasn't frozen, it can't be sushi grade. I can't believe I ate "sushi grade salmon" from here!! read more

Great place for seafood. Everything was really fresh and the variety was great. The Korean lady was super friendly and the workers were very helpful. We bought two live lobsters, little neck clams, and mussels. I highly recommend this place and will be going back for some fish next time. read more

Park's Seafood & Fish Market - 2lb lobster - Seafood Markets Near Me - Whitestone, New York

My family has been going here forever (since before the current owners) for seafood. Park's has always been a great place and it still is! Very honest employees, some more than others, unfortunately I do not know their names. But I went to Park's for sushi grade tuna once and the employee had me return the fish when I told him I would be eating it raw, because he said "I would not eat that without cooking it." I was so appreciative and I continue to show the business my support. read more

Shopped here for live lobsters - and they were awesome! The people who work here are super nice - a designated person will help you get all of the fresh seafood you need (there are signs saying that only employees can touch the fish, which is good since you don't want any random person manhandling the goods)! Everything will be put into plastic bags, the cashier will ring you up, and you can go on your merry way! We've been here for live lobsters ($10.99 a lb as of 9/13), fresh shrimp, and little neck clams. They can also shuck your oysters or clams for you (I believe you need to request this a day or two in advance), and they had fresh fried soft shell crabs available for sale when we were there on a Sunday morning. It doesn't smell fishy here at all, which is a sign of super fresh fish! I'm a huge fan! read more

Rude and quite disgusting fish The fish lady and cashier are stingy and unhelpful Ice is cheap read more

We got the lobsters and they were pretty fresh, fleshy. Would definitely recommend coming for their lobsters.

Excellent Excellent place. Best place to buy quality fish in the area by leaps and bounds. Quality, Selection Service all A+. Filets and steaks of the seas best fish.. and an extremely fresh variety of invertebrae and exoskeletal delights. They could use some more live tanks, but it doesn't really suit their customers anyway. read more

Thank you so much for having the best seafood in Whitestone! You were very organized today! (Christmas Eve)

I love Park's Fish Market......the fish is very fresh.....the staff is very friendly and welcoming.....they are very patient with my questions about where the fish come from.....the store is kept very clean......and the prices are fair.......I miss going there during this pandemic......I hope they are doing well.......and look forward to shopping there once again! read more

I have been going here for so many years and loved everything I've bought. Lately not so great. I went yesterday to buy 2lbs of cleaned large shrimp. Not only have they increased the price, but when I got home the shrimp were half cleaned and very hard. Weird they seems tough and very fishy smelling. I realized that they do not have the same quality fish that they once had. Time to find a new fish store. read more

I normally don't write reviews on markets but I felt like they deserved some recognition. My friend and I come here on pretty much a bi-weekly basis because we love how stellar their selection is. We always buy their halibut to make fish tacos, and it's pretty expensive (as much as a $35 markup on a pound and a half's worth) but the quality is so fresh, so it's absolutely worth it. Anytime we need seafood, we make it a point to stop here instead of buying from grocery stores/supermarkets. read more

I purchased large scallops and little necks, I went for the dry scallops rather than the less expensive type. Well worth it. They had to be the freshest sweetest scallops we have ever eaten. The market does not smell like some fish departments in supermarkets and the fish was perfect. read more

Please disregard my past 5 star and 2 star reviews, now its down to a 1 star I have been going to this place for over 20 years and was never disappointed, they use to have the freshest fish, then new owners took over. I buy littleneck clams here on a regular basis, lately I have been tossing clams out because of the nasty smell. The last time I went there for clams, I noticed they weren't covered with ice and many of them were slightly open, I tapped them and they didn't close. I found this very disappointing. Can someone recommend a fish market that has fresh fish and clams. read more

If you're looking for fresh fish, this is your market to go to. There is no foul smell when you walk in. The market is kept very clean and you can find an assortment of fish and seafood at Park's. I picked up wild salmon and it was probably the most freshest piece of salmon I ever consumed. The only downfall is that it could be a bit pricey. If you need fish or seafood, come here and spend a little more to get the best quality. read more

Excellent Selection of very fresh fish - after going here a few times, I stopped going to other fish markets and supermarkets. The staff is very friendly and helpful foo which is a plus. Definitively shop here if you are serious about getting good filets and whole fish to feed yourself and family!!! read more

You get what you pay for here and that is quality fish. This establishment is consistent, clean and friendly -- a neighborhood gem.

I've been buying fish from Park's seafood center a while now. Not only do they have a wide variety of fish and shellfish but everything they sell is beyond fresh. The wild salmon is out of this world! The crab legs are great and so easy to make. I highly recommend this place. read more

The best seafood store in Queens. High quality and affordable. They provide quick and accurate service. They clean, filet, you name it to that fish lol. Great job. read more

Another great Christmas Eve from the inventory of park's seafood. Clams, oysters, lobster tails, shrimp and mussels. Very fresh and always happy to bring them my business. I'm only 3 blocks away and will continue the tradition of getting fish from here. read more

If you want the highest quality fish, this is the place the go. They have all the fish you need, extremely wide variety. Go check this place out during the holidays and you can see how long the lines are for yourself, which goes to show you they are delivering a very high quality product. read more

Clean, Fresh, Non smelly, Vast variety, Shelled and Non shelled, wild and Farm raised. All descriptions of this fish market. Once you patronage will will be hooked. read more

This place is absolutely amazing.. When you walk in it has the clean ocean smell.. Variety is extensive and they seem to only carry premium quality fish.. My whole family has gone to this store for fish since they first opened a while ago... I recently moved out of the area but I always stop by whenever I am in the Queens Flushing area as there are not any comparable stores where I live.. read more

Great quality fish, staff is friendly

I've had a couple of instances in the past here where they'll slip one or two open clams into your bag of a dozen. I got to the point where I would pick my own clams so I wouldn't get any bad ones. Today I went and purchased some gray sole. When I got home and was ready to cook it I noticed a worm. Disgusted. I did return it and they did return my money which I was concerned about initially. I will never shop here again they have lost a customer for life. read more
