Jersey City Fish Stand

So good! Finally a good place in Jersey City where you can get fresh seafood! We tried the Tilefish which was so good! They were at the Farmers market on Grove St. I can’t wait to visit the actual store! We will definitely get more seafood here! It’s a little on the pricier side but so worth it!

Got their wild shrimp, wild salmon and monkfish. All were as fresh as can be!!!
The pricing is certainly high but that’s what you have to pay for fresh and wild seafood! I would gladly pay the price and eat less and actually TASTE the fish than buy that farmed stuff that tastes like nothing.
Great selection and cute little store.

Love this place! Such a great addition to the neighborhood, much needed. Love how they provide detailed info about all of their daily offerings. I’ve had the salmon, cod, trout, mackerel, bass, shrimp — many times, always so yummy. It makes me happy to see that they still have a stand at the farmers market too, now that it’s back. Thanks for bringing fresh fish to JC!

The Fish Market sells super super super fresh fish. Yes, it comes with a price — but there is an obvious difference when you eat the fish that comes from the Fish Market and the fish that comes from the grocery store. Everything I have purchased has been fresh and delicious.
It’s a pretty simple place, basically just a counter with fresh fish on ice! You order by the weight and they’ll help you out if you aren’t sure how much to get. They have a rotating menu so there’s always different fish available when you stop in! And they always throw in a lemon (nice touch!) and also have some spices available for purchase.
I’m so happy to have them in the neighborhood!

How I LOVE Jersey City Fish Stand! Somehow I always missed their stand during the summertime farmers’ markets in the neighborhood. Since they’ve opened a brick-​and-​mortar shop, I’ve picked up some fantastic bay scallops and lots of salmon. I’ve even given the Spanish mackerel a shot at their suggestion (it was a win!).
The shop owners are fantastic: they make seafood shopping and prep a lot less intimidating than it otherwise would be! Don’t be afraid to ask them for ideas on dinner.

A very nice welcome to Jersey St. Fresh and eye-​pleasing seafood, like having the farmers market open daily. They have a large television board with all the available fish/​shellfish, where farmed, method of catch, really helps you make an educated decision about what you’re cooking and eating tonight. Fair prices for the very high quality and knowledgable staff. Fresh shrimp comes in on Tuesdays!

When I walked in the market, it did not have a stinky fishy smell. Good sign of good fresh fish. I got cod & was fresh and delicious!

Heard about this place from a friend. Picked up cod today. It was very fresh! Happy there’s now a fish market in town.

Fresh Fish makes my world go round and round! I was really excited to see this place open, but due to my work schedule and that they are only open until 3pm on Saturdays (closed Sundays) it took me a while to get down there. Finally made it one Saturday and scored some great clams, which my fella and I both agreed we haven’t cooked with as good clams since we were in Maine 2 years ago. All the fish looked really fresh and I’ll definitely be back for some of that. One of the things I loved about the store was they have about 10 different spice mixes that they sold for 50 cents a scope, that is amazing! So nice not to have to shell out $ 4 at the super market for a spice mix you are not sure you’ll ever use again. I also learned about their Healthy Eating Club which has two pickup dates a week. There is a selection of fish which you preorder 6 oz portions for pick-​up either Monday or Thursday. The benefits of preordering are a 5% discount and you are guaranteed to get your fish, even if they sell out. From what I can see their fish has not been frozen and is not farmed, which is the way we all should eat fish. So excited this placed opened up in JC!!!

I went last week to buy some shrimp and have been meaning to write a review– the shrimp was so fresh and delicious, and the service we received was excellent. I’m so happy to finally have somewhere in jersey city that sells fresh amazing quality seafood!

Finally a fish market in Jersey City! The quality of the fish is superb and the recommendation of how to cook it was spot on! (Got the fresh caught Grouper.) Will definitely be back!

My wife and I went to the opening day ceremony at their new storefront. Great people, and a wide selection of FRESH seafood. I like that they have small batches of the catch of the day, so at the risk of running out of certain varieties, you know youre getting the absolute best available. Everyone behind the counter was so helpful, they know what they’re talking about, and they even offered us lemons to go with our purchase. We bought the tuna steaks (huge!) and some shrimp (they had trays for the opening, and after trying them we couldn’t resist).
We cooked the tuna steaks this weekend, and they were so much better than expected that I had to write this review. I’m used to supermarket filets, so real fresh seafood was an eye-​opener. It’s pricier than frozen or supermarket stuff, but the difference in quality is so obvious that it’s worth it. We will definitely be back, and it’s nice to see a real fish market in the neighborhood.

Fresh fish with a rotating menu. You never know what they’ll have until the day of. I bought a pound of monkfish from them for $ 22, and cooked it later that day in a lemon butter sauce (they gave me a free lemon with my purchase). It was tender, moist, and full of umami. The prices are more expensive than local supermarkets (even a common fish like salmon was selling for close to $ 20), but the quality is also up a notch.
