As we were walking through the Grand Central market, I stopped by this booth and everything looked fresh! I happened to be having surgery the next day and knew I wouldn't be able to eat for quite a while so I decided on a grilled salmon roll and edamame as my late night snack before I was fasting. They were both a great choice! They had quite a variety of rolls and all looked very good. read more

I ordered seafood from this company for my husband's birthday and was initially very excited about the quality based on their reputation of All Fresh Seafood. Unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing due to poor communication and lack of accountability. After placing my order, I called the company the next day to confirm it had shipped. I spoke with a representative named Gladys, who told me the order was on its way. When I called again the following day to check the tracking (since I hadn't received an update), she denied ever speaking with me and insisted the order had not been shipped at all. As a result, it didn't arrive in time for my husband's birthday. I even showed phone records proving I had called when I said I did, but there was no acknowledgment or sincere apology, just deflection. Mistakes happen, but the unwillingness to take responsibility or show any empathy was really disappointing. I truly hope this company invests in better customer service training and communication systems, because the product may be good, but the experience matters just as much. A simple apology and ownership of the mistake would have gone a long way. read more

Was looking for a place to pick up fresh fish to cook for dinner in the area, and was not disappointed stopping by Pescatore in grand central. They had a ton of prepared seafood items, dumplings, crab cakes, etc. I did get the mini crab cakes which were really good warmed up in the oven. Also picked up some thai marinated halibut to make some fresh rice bowls for dinner. Was a great marinade, and not overwhelming as you could still taste the fresh fish. The only thing that was missing was some fresh sauces/condiments to go along with their prepared food. I was given little packets of tartar sauce, like the kind you get at a food cart to go with my 20$ crab cakes which was disappointing. As much effort as they go to in preparing stuffed/marinated fish and great prepared food you'd think they make fresh homemade remoulade and sauces to go with their food. Otherwise this place is great for whatever you need seafood wise, and the gentleman that helped me behind the counter was friendly and had good recommendations. read more

I love the selection of fresh sushi here. The seaweed salad is reasonable priced. I've tried the chirashi, the spicy tiny rolls and the sashimi. This is a take-out kiosk. Service is efficient and there is someone outside of the kiosk that assist customers. You can't beat the ambience of the Grand Central Marketplace. It's a gorgeous building with all sorts of beautiful things, products and food. My favorite items are the brown rice rolls. read more

Pescatore Seafood has an online site (allfreshseafood.com) which is where I placed a delivery order in early April. My experience with this company and their products was not great. When you order from a market like Pescatore, it is probably best to personally go to the market and pick out what you want. When placing a shipping/delivery order you can't know how fresh the food is, where it is from, or how many times it has been frozen and thawed out. In the future, I'll have my fish shipped directly from the source. Even though Pescatore is right in Manhattan, it took 2 days to get my order. I can get an order from Washington State and Maine just as fast. The service overall wasn't the best. I picked out 16 items online with no problem, but when I tried to check out, the site wouldn't allow me to pay no matter how hard I tried or which way I tried to pay. It was very frustrating because they had a 15% off offer I wanted to take advantage of. Consequently, I ended up emailing them and, since it was the weekend, the owner emailed back to me and told me to call a person on his staff the next day, which I did. I think her name was Gladys. This also was a little more stressful than it should have been. Even though the owner saw my order online and was able to communicate with me, Gladys said she couldn't access my online order so that she could process it. Eventually, after much ado, she did figure it out, and two days after going over each item with me, the order was safely delivered by DoorDash. Everything was in thawed condition and not frozen. With the exception of the soup, creme fraiche and lobster, I froze everything. I waited to do this review until I tried everything, which was today. The worst was some of the soups and the lobster. So that buyers have a better idea of what to avoid, I'm listing my order and my satisfaction level with each: King Crab & Sweet Corn Chowder - Good New England Clam Chowder - It tasted okay but couldn't chew the clams Creme Fraiche - Good Cocktail Shrimp - Good - tasty Crab Cakes - Strange flavor - didn't like Mahi-Mahi - Bland - tasted like chicken Yellowfin Tuna Steak - Tough and tasteless King Salmon Fillet - Okay Fresh Wild Sockeye Salmon Fillet - Tasteless and didn't seem fresh Faroe Island Salmon Fillet - Fresh but bland Idaho Rainbow Trout - Dry and tasteless Icelandic cod fillet - Okay Fresh Arctic Char - Fresh and good Main Lobster Stew - Terrible - too salty and couldn't chew lobster or vegs Maine Lobster Bisque - Okay but strange flavor Cooked Maine Lobster - Terrible - Overcooked and tough - no meat on the body (just foam). I got about one bite out of this. I also didn't care much for their packaging of the fillets - extremely difficult to open. Since my order was over $200, I did get free delivery. read more

Stop using grub hub there not reliable. I placed an order delivery time 3:05-3:15 never arrived. Called restaurant 4:30pm, Restsurant never called back. I called again 6pm no interest. I contacted Grub after all the tedious explanations they credit my cc $41, offered a $15 credit on my next order. I ordered and got no discount! read more

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. read more

yet another follow up on my terrible experience with Jerry at Pescatore! I just checked my credit card to make sure my canceled order was credited to my credit card by Pescatore it was not credited I called and was promised a call back from Jerry of which I still haven't heard back . Yet more customer service no surprise! Reported to bank and they can handle it! Not worth my time and aggravation ! Better fish in the sea! Cindy I didn't say I Love your fish I said it was good there is a difference between love and good.... I have not seen the refund reflected on my Credit Card it's almost a week... I called today and was told Jerry would call me right back... 12 hrs still no call back about refund.. It was not the delivery service that made the mistake time after time I called the store directly because of the lack of service from delivery service... Nobody can get it right.. The fish was delicious from Fresh Direct and got here on time as promised. One more point and then I'm done with you all. I am not slamming you I am simply writing the facts. Happy fishing.. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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 read more

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! read more

Pescatore Seafood Co has 2 stands - a sushi one closer to the Lexington entrance of grand central central marker and the seafood one in the middle of the market. Through the ritual app I got $5 off an item from the sushi app & purchased a special spicy dragon roll - a California roll with tuna on top. It's not authentic sushi - think more of a better quality better tasting sushi you would get at your school cafeteria. But for the $6 I paid it definitely filled me up. From the seafood stand I've tried a lobster roll $6 and a protein tuna roll $4. The great thing about these rolls are that they're wrapped in a chewy rice paper so it's not heavy at all - and it's really affordable. If you check in on yelp, you get 50% off any roll so you can pay $6 for 2 rolls - it's definitely a steal! The seafood is really fresh too, so I'll definitely be back. read more

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. read more

Found them for home delivery during COVID. So glad we did! We've ordered through their website, allfreshseafood.com. Everything arrives quickly, properly packaged and protected with appropriate ice and insulation. We've ordered from them at least four times - each time is better than the last. As a matter of fact, I'm getting ready to place another order shortly. They offer a great assortment of items, both raw and prepared. Highly recommend! read more

I read through a number of prior reviews that complained about bad service. This business seems to have really taken these reviews to heart, as staff have been consistently friendly and quick to help on all my visits. Great service team. Current favorite summer roll: protein punch tuna summer roll ($5). I'm not personally all that fond of the poached salmon, which is bland* AND overpriced (one piece will run you about 17 dollars). But it comes with a pleasant yogurt dill sauce that I could drink a quart of as a soup. And the salmon itself was, of course, faultlessly fresh. * It tasted as though it were just poached in water, without even much salt. Maybe it's just a matter of preference, but at home, we poach with spices and herbs, and wine, milk or broth. Next up to try: those adorably tiny, half dollar coin-sized crab cakes. read more

Great quality fish and seafood but pricey because of the location. Nevertheless I sometimes shop here as it's super convenient when I'm taking Metro North and the freshness and quality is consistently great. They have prepared and ready to eat food items as well. read more

I've only shopped here once and only purchased one item but the one item I bought was bad enough to tell me that I should never, ever shop here again. I bought six large "dry" scallops. They cost ~$15 as the scallops were priced at $31.99 per pound. For those who shop for seafood you know that when scallops are advertised as "dry" that means that there is no added water that is absorbed into the scallops by pre-treating them with sodium tripolyphosphate (STP). But if they treat them with STP then they're like sponges and they can soak them in water and then sell you some water at $31.99/lb. If they're truly dry scallops nothing comes out when you cook them. But not these. These left my roasting pan swimming in water. See the photo and judge for yourself. UPDATE: I see the owners responded to my comments. If they say their scallops ate free of STP I believe them. And the scallops were tasty. I just object to paying the highest price I've ever paid for scallops ($31.99/lb) and paying that price for an absurd amount of water. I've purchased and cooked scallops over 100 times in my life -- about once a month for the last decade at least. I usually get them from the Farmer's Market. Frequently from Fish Tales in Cobble Hill. Sometimes I get them from Whole Foods. Once or twice from Citarella. Maybe once or twice from Fairway. I know how to transport and store scallops. In fact, I asked for ice when I bought these. The woman at the counter asked how long until I got home. I said 30 minutes. She told me I didn't need any ice. I cooked them within minutes of getting home. You have the facts. You decide. read more

I came here for lunch with my friend since I work nearby. It's mostly a takeout place in the Grand Central Market. You probably can go to the Dining Concourse to eat but I just went back to work. I wanted to use the microwave since I wanted the food warm. We ordered 6 mini crab cakes, clam chowder, lobster bisque, Thai chili salmon summer roll, and a shrimp taco. The best item was the crab cakes. There was a lot of crab meat and not much breadcrumbs. The soups were a bit bland. The Thai chili salmon summer roll was decent. The shrimp taco was not crispy anymore since it was cold. The food was fresh though. The problem with the place is that the food is cold. You have to warm it up yourself somewhere. I understand it's a seafood market but it's a hassle to have to warm up food. The prices were a bit high but consistent with the area. I might check out the sushi place next time, seems like it's more popular. FYI - you can get a roll for 50% off with Yelp check-in. read more

Pescatore for the pescavore... I was madly looking for lunch today and finally settled on this place. And I am glad I did. It was extremely hot outside, and when I saw the summer rolls in the display case, I knew that it was what I wanted for lunch. The summer rolls are stuffed with shrimp, slices of mussel, purple cabbage, carrots, and green beans. It was extremely flavourful and fresh. I didn't even use the dressing. They are a good size and it is $3.50 for one or 2 for $5. Highly recommend the summer roll. It is refreshing, tasty and perfect for a hot, summer day. But just curious...where was the vermicelli? read more

Another thumbs up for a spring roll lunch - not fried but wrapped in a Vietnamese rice wrapper and refrigerated. I've had lobster (premium at $5 and didn't like it). I like crab (with lemon pepper) and poached salmon. Will work on trying the others... I think it's a great deal considering the size and how filling they are! The other stuff isn't such a value... don't be tempted if you're on a budget! read more

Lobster dumplings are great! They come with 5 or 6 so it's a good portion, too. I also ordered their shrimp summer rolls which I found out were not a typical recipe "summer roll". I was disappointed to find that they made them with mayonnaise as more of a "shrimp salad" wrapped in rice paper. I've never eaten a summer roll made with mayonnaise before... usually they are very fresh and crisp. Some people may not mind this but I personally hate mayonnaise...Would be helpful to put in the description! read more

This is an amazing place to grab seafood! All of the fish and prepared foods are fresh and very affordable. My favorites are the seafood salad and the crab cakes. If you aren't looking for a big meal, they make mini crab cakes you can snack on. They even have cauliflower fried rice, which is a healthy alternative and tastes delicious!!! If you happen to be in the Grand Central area you must stop by Pescatore and grab a bite! They have many items on their menu, so I will definitely be back to try more! read more

Pescatore Seafood - Summer Rolls, these are just 4 of the 8 they have available. - Seafood Markets Near Me - New York, New York

Pescatore takes caviar very seriously. It has the second largest caviar selection I've seen with Net Cost in Brighton Beach being the only establishment with more choices. Despite, Pescatore's caviar specialty, I only wanted some street food, so I decided to have a lobster summer roll. The summer roll embodied a high degree of rawness. I like how the lettuce, lobster salad, and rice paper came together to form a earthy and filling wrap. It was a much bigger summer roll than I've previously (think burrito size!). This meant that the paper had to be thicker to hold itself together which led the rice paper (which is a bit bland) to be more influential in taste. read more

Been going here for years since I work in the area. However, today I found 2, not 1, but 2 short dark hairs on my lobster summer roll. Stopped eating everything and tossed in the trash. I'm feeling a little grossed out right now because I'd already finished a different roll already. I guess I'm not going back. Follow up: The owner contacted me personally to tell me how horrified he was to learn about my experience. It's true I've been going there for years and this is the first time I experienced anything like that. He assured me that he took steps to make sure nothing like that ever happens again. Cool. Although it might take me awhile to psych myself up to trying it again but the option is now back out there. Will revise the star after that happens. read more

Grabbed a quick bite while waiting for my train to Stamford. Really liked the fact that they have a healthier option - sushi made with black rice.

After my hangry review I got reassurance from the business that changes have been made and walking by their spot I have observed shorter lines - looks like this is attributable to less chaotic /more efficient service.

I have been impressed by this place before but yesterday, I bought some really excellent swordfish here. Normally, I am hesitant to buy it unless its a fish store close to wear it be likely to be very fresh. I took a chance on their swordfish because it looked really beautiful. It was worth the risk: this swordfish was firm, moist, flavorful, and tasted very fresh. I can't wait to try it again! read more

HOLD THE BOAT! Pescatore is now offering SUSHI at GC Market. This sushi is fresh AF my friends. New go-to for midtown lunches. I can't stop talking about it... to everyone that will listen. Thank you Pescatore you've made my week! read more

I never Yelp, but you should not shop here. They advertise "wild Dover sole" which actually is lemon sole. They also rip you off. This is just wrong and also the fish isn't that good. Go to Citarella where they sell fresh seafood and you get want you actually pay for. read more

Pescatore has expensive, raw seafood but it's not for that I frequent it. It's for the spring rolls. These are large, seafood filled rolls in Vietnamese rice wrappers. The combinations vary, though shrimp, lobster and salmon are staples. It's a great way for the owner to get rid of seafood that isn't super fresh enough to sell as raw at their high prices--cook it up and get rid of it. The shrimp roll is my fave, stuffed with a purple cabbage slaw and a tasty Asian dressing. I've had the crab, with some sort of lemon dressing, the salmon(A-Okay), the mahi-mahi and the grilled tuna. Most rolls are $3(Lobster is $5) and two make a filling lunch. Three makes a dinner and you can make your own salad. I love to grab them on the go and hop on Metro North and chomp away. As for the raw seafood, it's expensive and the quality varies. I had very good scallops here and one time my ex bf had bought some expensive jumbo shrimp that was just BAD. The raw seafood is priced for the affluent but the rolls are definitely affordable. read more

I found this to be the best fresh seafood place in NYC. Raw if you want to cook yourself or already prepared for a quick dinner when you get home. And now the opened up a Sushi concision 20 feet away! They make your order up special or grab one of the freshly made dishes and just keep going. No wasting time here, unless you want to watch the Sushi masters at work or talk to one of the friendly owners. Best food in Grand Central Market. read more
