    Chirashi
    Alex H.

    The salmon and ahi tuna was fresh when I bought it. The taste was pretty good along with the eel. Overall solid meal, would go again.

    Got their Chirashi bowl with salmon, tuna and eel. The add-one's include edamame, avocado, and Tamagoyaki. The fish was fresh and the rice was well seasoned and had great texture.

    Spicy Shrimp Taco
    Christopher M.

    I made the mistake of passing by Pescatore Seafood time and time again over the past few years...always telling myself "Next time..." I convinced myself that the prices were likely too high for the quantity of seafood in the prepared items which caught my eye...and so I'd save it for a treat. After finally diving in, I have thrown that thinking out the window and will not only make a point of getting to GCT ahead of my future train departure times so I can snag a quick, fresh, light meal...but will make a point to bring a refrigerated bag next time I'm running errands in the area so I can bring some of this goodness home. I've always noticed that PS is kept very clean by a very well put together and seemingly polite staff. All points were true to perception. Both of the staff members I worked with (the young woman who took/fulfilled my order and the cashier) were professional and welcoming. The young woman I worked with was really great at answering my questions and making recommendations, and the cashier was very friendly. I tried: Lobster Roll (Connecticut Style): It looks small for $18. But they have those quaint (and delicious!) brioche rolls PACKED from the bottom right through to the overflowing top. I was impressed by this since I've had smaller and paid more at other NYC lobster roll joints (don't tell me you haven't paid that much or more for a skimpy, flavorless lobster roll and a couple of stale kettle-cooked chips elsewhere...). This roll certainly exceeding expectations. For not coming straight from the kitchen (read: MTO) the cook on the lobster was acceptable, and they certainly nailed the Connecticut Style. I plan to make my way through all other stylings. Spicy Shrimp Taco: Awesome, light, crunchy, mixed-texture treat! It may look like they're skimping on the shrimp. But I guarantee you they are not, especially for the price! The shrimp are cooked (and cleaned) perfectly and the flavors are simply great. My only qualm is that they take a very light approach to "spicy" (and that's with the young woman being nice enough to give me a small side of extra mayo). I still plan to order again. Summer Roll (Thai Peanut): Solid. And SUPER packed with shrimp! A steal at $7. I wish they were more heavy handed with the Thai peanut sauce and those spice flavorings. But glad I tried it. Summer Roll (Curry Shrimp): LOVED this one! Think Singapore Mei Fun in creamy salad form (this is a good...no...great thing). Less shrimp in this one, but so much flavor! Texturally you get creamy, some crunch, some pull from the rice wrapper.....just SO good. All said and done, I purchased four seafood items with what seemed like (close to) half a pound of lobster meat (including claw) and (combined) at least half a pound of shrimp for only $35! Plus everything was fresh and fell somewhere on the good to delicious spectrum? Yes, please! Pescatore Seafood has a new fan, and I so hope you'll give them a try.

    8-10 oz lobster tail (cooked by me)
    Kassandra F.

    Our 8-10 oz lobster tail was perfection -- sweet. Fresh. $35 but -- that seems reasonable for lobster in NYC. And would have cost me like $100 at a restaurant.

    I even love their take out bags!!

    I love this little gem at the Grand Central Market. Last week I discovered it and bought a lobster tail, a juicy piece of swordfish and some shrimp scampi and enjoyed every morsel. I would have given a 5 star review last week. Today I went back for the gluten free salmon meat balls and lobster salad at $44/pound. Ouch. I spent $11.75 on the tiny tails and too much mayo with crunchy pieces that I'm pretty SURE were something foreign. I should have gone back to return it but I was already back at my hotel before trying it. Positive points..excellent service and 5% back on Yelp! Don't get the salmon meatballs. Weird flavor and way too spicy

    The Grand Central Market at Grand Central Station is just wonderful! So much great food! Pescatore has a really large selection at the Grand Central Market. They have all sorts of fresh seafood. It doesn't smell, which probably means that the seafood is really fresh. They also have some great prepared foods, like lobster salad, crab cakes, all sorts of salads, poached salmon, lobster rolls, even vegetarian items. The lobster puffs (puffed pastry with lobster) looked so good and the same with the crab cakes, but they don't have an oven or microwave to heat food, so I got the lobster salad, which was had mayonnaise and good chunks of mostly claw meat. I also had the salmon roll, which was a good deal. The roll was salmon and a few vegetables inside a rice paper roll. It was meant to be eaten cold. They give you forks and tissues. Excellent

    Chirashi bowl
    Suanne L.

    Pescatore Seafood has two stalls - a seafood stand at the end and a sushi bar closer to the middle of the market. The main seafood stand sells raw fish, seafood salads, and summer rolls for the lunch crowd. While I haven't ordered the raw seafood, I am a fan of the summer rolls. The rolls take the seafood salads and add lettuce or cabbage to a rice noodle to make a mini burrito like roll (or summer roll if you've had Vietnamese food). The summer rolls come in a variety of flavors, like lobster ($5), shrimp or crab salad ($3.50), salmon (chipotle or lemon). The salads are a bit heavy on mayo/other condiments to fill out the seafood, but the lightness of the rice noodle and greens evens out the texture. Two make a good snack, three would be a meal. While you can argue that the seafood salads are Pescatore's way to get rid of scraps, they are super tasty, affordable, and fresh tasting. The sushi case was full of very tasty options with good portions of fresh fish. From chirashi bowls to rolls, sashimi and sushi plates, white/brown/black rice, there should be enough choices to get someone excited. I picked up a chirashi bowl for $14 which had salmon, tuna, yellow tail, avocado, and egg in them. Everything is clearly labeled if you are particular. The fish was fresh and the bowl was a good portion. If you're a big eater, a bowl plus a roll will make you full, or consider picking up a summer roll from the main Pescatore stall. Considering its Grand Central Market, the price is definitely worth it and is a worthwhile splurge lunch. The staff are nice, but your interaction is so fast and minimal it doesn't even matter. Line was short at 12:15 pm on a Tuesday. Take the bowl to eat downstairs in the food court or back to your desk. I can't wait to go back!

    Stone Crab
    Andrew W.

    When nature calls its comforting to know you won't get caught in a pinch since cracked stone claws are available at Pescatore in the heart of Manhattan. While Eli Zabar's Farm to Table will always be the standout stall at Grand Central, Pescatore triumphantly bookends the market with a glistening well-organized spread. However, for the life of me, I can't comprehend why they distribute such a poor mustard blend! There is no need to reinvent the wheel! Joe's made the playbook public! 1 cup mayo 2 tbsp half-and-half 1 tbsp Colman's mustard powder 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp A1 steak sauce 1/8 tsp kosher salt Pinch of cayenne pepper I've also taken issue with Pescatore labeling Pacific rock crab as "Western Stone Crab" in the off-season. I find that disingenuous- not to mention those knobby claws look less than appetizing. Call them "Deformed Stone Crab" or something and the sauce should be labeled "Off-brand Mustard". That being said the staff is fast and treats their product with the utmost respect. I'm very partial to their apps with cooked shrimp. The lobster dumplings and baked clams also re-heat great in the microwave. All my co-workers remark the smell is fantastic.

    Liquid that leached out of their "dry" scallops. :-/

To order, you fill out a paper sheet for the raw bar items and place a separate order in the back for kitchen fare. Every time I've been here, the seafood has been incredibly fresh and delicious. It's definitely not cheap though and our most recent meal came out to almost $500 after tip. We ordered: - 2 bread bowl NE clam chowders ($15 ea)--delicious and hearty. The peasant loaf bread was fine and everyone enjoyed it - 6oz lobster roll ($38)--a delicious cold lobster roll with a mayo-based sauce, great flavor, and a soft buttery bun - 20 oysters ($3.75 ea)--all fresh and delicious, primarily East Coast oysters although they occasionally have some West Coast ones. Fisher's Island was akin to drinking straight sea water - 5 Peruvian scallops--small and sweet with a strawberry sauce - 2 California uni ($19 ea)--one was incredibly sweet, clean tasting, and much better than the other, which was slightly more bitter and minerally - 2 diver scallops ($15 ea)--drizzled with olive oil, yuzu, and sea salt - 8 shrimp cocktail ($3.25 ea)--one of the most unworth things I've tried in recent times because the shrimp was so cold it tasted barely thawed and was watery with almost no flavor You order at the counter or via paper ticket and they bring everything to your table. Staff have always been friendly and service was great. They sell fresh fish and some frozen specialty items like escargot. I don't know if anything would ever deter me from coming back here :)

I'm very particular about where my seafood comes from, so I did some digging and discovered Aqua Best. Steven, the owner, runs a family-focused operation, and the difference is clear: he and his team are exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. The market itself has a clean, inviting feel with no off-putting odor, which is a huge plus. Their staff genuinely knows their seafood and can answer questions with confidence. Aqua Best also supplies seafood to some of New York City's top fine-dining restaurants, which speaks to the quality and consistency you can expect. I decided to give them a try and left with Bronzino, Snapper, and Gulf Shrimp. All three were superb--fresh, well-prepared help in selecting portions, and clearly handled with care. If you're picky about seafood quality, provenance, and customer service, Aqua Best is worth a visit.

I went to buy in-shell scallops and he said to "pick the heaviest ones, they have more meat" but what he really means is they're packed with sand. Funny enough, he didn't try giving me this advice the next time I went to buy and looked in the crack to see if they're full of sand. Also went to buy female blue crabs and he wanted to choose them, he spent like 5 minutes digging through the bucket and 5/6 of the crabs were totally empty inside (you can feel if they're hefty when picking).

Here you're getting unlimited lobster. The food literally just kept coming. At one point we were running out of room on the table. One thing I really appreciated was that the staff noticed and started putting multiple items on the same plates instead of bringing everything out separately.
