The best fish market in Newark! I must rather come to Newark every week to get fresh fish than buy at the supermarket. You truly can't beat the prices here for great quality. I like to go in the morning and I always get helped right away. They will descale, and cut the fish for you however you want it. There is metered parking on Ferry. It is a busy street so be aware of that! read more

Popular Fish Market - Seafood Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

The fish here is very fresh but it's very expensive also. You get what you pay for, I guess...

The person who attended me was really sweet and tried to help me as it was my first time visiting . He told Me a large price ( which I anyways had no clue was very high considering my 1st time ) he corrected himself and apologized immediately . The place has fresh fish and staff is really good . The area is nice too .. read more

See all

Amazing service. Very fresh fish and shellfish. I have not seen anything like this open to the public. My fish monger spent at least 15 mins walking me through what I would get, how to prepare, selected my raw oysters one by one, and even called a local store about an oyster knife. Oh, I was on a bicycle, and the monger and manager helped fashion a book bag for me. Parking should be easy on a side street. read more

Their fish is what you need. Always fresh and tasty ... no "fishy stink". Get some. Cook it. read more

Best quality and good prices. There really is no place comparable in Northern NJ. During Christmastime, people travel over 50 miles to get fish at PFM. read more

Excellent Service, Excellent Service, Fresh Fish. Will definitely go there again. Thanks for the pointing me to this fish market.

Freshest fish in the Ironbound. The fishmonger answered all of my questions about the fish (labeled in Portuguese, but I don't speak the language), then scaled and cleaned the ones we picked out. read more

GREAT fish market that is walking distance from Newark Penn Station. I work in the area and frequent the market after work to get whatever fish my taste buds crave for dinner. read more

The cute fishmonger chopped and cleaned my weird fishes. Fresh seafood, great views ;) read more

I ordered a bushel of crabs and it was half the price of places down the jersey shore. Quality of the crabs were very good although I did notice a couple that pushed the legal limit (imo) and a some females. That's not their fault though. They just sell'em and can't check everyone in a crate. It was early morning and it already had a nice crowd and you can see there are people that travel from the 'burbs for their fish which is a testament to the selection they offer and freshness, I will be back. read more

This is the place my family comes every Christmas Eve. The prices are great and the sea assortment is the best. Fresness is never a question because the fish all have clear eyes, the octopus are still swiming in their pool, the clams are still spitting water, Jumbo shrimp are all fresh (not frozen), etc. The fish mongers filet the fish in front of us that we pick. Christmas Eve dinner is always 7 fish and this is still the best place to shop. We travel from northern Bergen county to Popular Market for the single reason that: our guests expect fresh delicious food and thats what we get here at the best prices! read more

Ultra fresh fish make this place worth a trip. I think its Thursdays when they get still flopping fish from Portugal. Half the store is dedicated to bacala, as it should be--this is Ironbound! read more

The owner and staff are extremely rude and inconsiderate; not to mention, unprofessional. When a customer pre orders' lobsters and you confirm a couple of times throughout the week if they will be available, then a business should hold up their end. Instead of being concerned or apologetic, to hear them say, " Oh well, we don't have them, there's nothing I can about it" is pathetic. read more

Great fish market. Fish is always fresh. Service is 'above and beyond.' These guys helped me pack my styrofoam containers full of fish and ice to drive down to North Carolina to visit family. 24 hours with stops on the way... The fish arrives fresh and delicious. Thanks to the guys at Popular ! read more

Ultra fresh fish make this place always worth a trip to Newark. Thursdays is the day when I go. The fish still are jet lagged from the flight from Portugal. They are always fair priced and very busy. It is worth every minute of the wait to get these European fish. Sardines fresh from the nets ready to grill. read more

Awesome selection of fresh fish and seafood at this traditional Portugues market. They carry also tons of salted cod and olive oil.

Never been to this place but I am at work and called today at 9 am to find out what time they are closing. The guy that answer the phone started to yell over the phone that he just opened up and I am asking what time he is closing!!! Buddy I don't give a rats ass what time you open.....I need to know if I can make it there after work!!! You sounded very arrogant to a potential new customer. Now I prefer to give my business to another vendor. read more

went here because i saw the ratings the men there hardly speak english,but friendly enough, fish fresh, mussels recently bought though half were not good..so jury is out still...parking sucks. read more

I go to Popular when I want to buy a lot of fish, or simply need a guarantee that the fish will be fresh. This is an old time fish market and it has that feel of something you used to find in the old South Street Seaport. It is a no nonsense, hustle and bustle fish market that deals primarily in whole fish. The prices reflect the real time market demand as fish move through this place very quickly! Standing at the ready is a crew of about 5 seasoned butchers ready to gut, cut, clean, or fillet your fish. I love this because it means I can customize my cut, or I can save more money by buying the fish whole and do my own prep at home. The high turn over rate is the draw for me here as I know I will get the freshest fish at a fair market price! One warning if you plan on going is that the place can get crowded at times and so you may need to take a number, but it still moves quick and provides you time to savor the experience. read more
