Jeffrey AllenJanuary 1, 2011The best selection of trustworthy fish & shellfish (oysters galore and they will shuck to eat on-site) in NYC. Excellent arctic char, mackerel, striped bass, rock shrimp, sardines & whole trout, etc.
Marcela SemioneDecember 21, 2014I had an oyster sandwich and lobster. Really wanted sushi, but there was no room left. Everything was delicious and I definitely need to go again.
Honghui YuJanuary 5, 2015I come here whenever I need to buy fish or seafood that I can't find in regular supermarkets, but because this is a specialty store, prices can be quite steep.
kbd bFebruary 25, 2016I gotta say, the medium lobster is almost the same size as the small one. And they say the smaller the sweeter. You know?
sarkisApril 16, 2013If you're into fresh seafood, it's a must. Grab the picnic box or sushi and post up on The Highline or somewhere in the market.
Katie SchlossJune 10, 2013Learning to cook? The Lobster Place has an entire bar dedicated to pre-marinated fish, including directions for how long & what temperature to cook them. All delicious & incredibly easy!
MLONovember 2, 2014If they've got it...get it! For a sushi lover, while UNI is one of life's little indulgences.
Racky RossDecember 15, 2014What can I say? You should come here at least once in life and feast on lobster, oysters and sea urchins!- Stop by the oyster bar and slam a few. I recommend a few sweet necks, then dealer's choice for the rest.
Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsAugust 16, 2015They also have a conveniently packed go-go picnic lunch with a shrimp/crab/lobster roll, chips, cookie and drink. Read more
Eduardo GodinhoNovember 5, 2015One of the best places in Chelsea Market to eat. REALLY crowded, but I recommend the lobster
Michael Sutton-LongAugust 6, 2013Get the tarragon shrimp roll as a cheap tasty alternative to the lobster roll.
Marc TunguzFebruary 14, 2014Lobster roll is too expensive. Go for the lobsters instead and the sashimi's. Pure awesomeness!
- Racky RossFebruary 11, 2015A 2 pounds lobster with a fresh beer and a few oysters make life much better. I come here at least once a month!
I love this place! The swordfish is my fav. Try to go when it's not too crowded on the weekends.
Minyi ShihApril 12, 2013So much fresh seafood. Get a seat at the sushi bar + order fresh oysters from the other :) staff is super friendly!
Christopher DoyleOctober 4, 2019Try the grilled fish sandwich. The harissa and zataar make it so much better.
Lindsay KaplanAugust 5, 2011The pre-made salads in the back fridge are covered in the freshest, tastiest shrimp, tuna or lobster in the city. Great for a healthy lunch on the go.
Staci StevensAugust 15, 2019Love this place. Some of the best, affordable cooler sushi in the city. Very fresh.
KatMay 22, 2015Unbelievably delicious lobster. Take a whole steamed lobster and choose a side like coleslaw or potato salad.
Bowery Kitchen SuppliesOctober 17, 2011Thinking about throwing a seafood-themed dinner party? Come here to get amazing fresh products and stop by Bowery Kitchen Supplies afterwards to stock up your kitchen with seafood cookware!
Laura D.June 26, 2015no-so-secret lobster rolls available in the back. the picnic box is a great to-go lunch option!
Amazing fish and seafood- multiple ways to consume too: raw bar, sushi bar and lobster pound
They just started offering a Slider Sampler here- shrimp, lobster, and crab salad on 3 individual brioche rolls with a side of chips. Adorable, and delicious!
Tim NoltSeptember 15, 2012Ask for recommendations. This place has a fantastic selection. I got a ton of help from Davis. He went out of his way to help me out.
Bobby KennedyAugust 2, 2018Seafood lover heaven. Get a seat or a perch at the oyster bar and go to town.
Fernando SpuriMay 2, 2016One of the coolest places on NYC. Great lobster, oysters or any seafood at all.
- Cat GallagMay 19, 2014Before you leave, but a few salmon burgers ! They are divine and very easy to cook
ZeynepOctober 8, 2014The best clam chowder i have ever had! Strongly recommended if you are around Chelsea area.- sushi is overpriced/not that great but the fish, oysters are fresh and reasonably priced. to do... steamed lobster tail + butter!
Tunke LauriksJuly 22, 2015If you ask me what I remember form my trip to NYC: this restaurant! Best burgers I ever tasted.
I cannot get enough of their Lobster Sushi Roll with Spicy Mayo! Everything is so fresh.
Sam GilApril 15, 2017Lobster bisque and NE Clam chowder. You can just ask for samples if you really want.
Amy CummingsJuly 16I don’t personally like seafood, but my friends tried the oyster sampler and said it was a highlight of their trip.
Randy ReynoldsAugust 2, 2013Great place, huge, steamed lobsters, lobster rolls, sushi, all kinds of fresh fish too
Offers one of the freshest and thickest cuts of sashimi (to-go). 6 assorted pieces for $10.50 (2013).
VanessaApril 10, 2013One of the best lobster rolls I've ever had! A note of warning though: It's definitely "Manhattan"-sized.
