Sophia Fish Market — Attraction in New York

I LOVE THIS PLACE. I usually call my orders in and never have I have been disappointed. They clean, season and steam my crabs just the way I like it. Today is the day before my birthday and I'm on bed rest at home. So I couldn't go pick up my birthday treat to me. I called and asked if I can place my order and have Uber pick it up, that my birthday is tomorrow and I'm stuck in the house sick. No problem they said. I placed my order and when I called to tell her Uber will be there shortly she was already waiting outside in the rain. Once I got my order, I was happy to open and get to the crabs. I noticed an extra box and thought maybe they separated the order which was fine with me but no to my SURPRISE it was an extra order with "HAPPY BIRTHDAY " written on it. This made me cry. They are soo sweet. Now I got my birthday treat and then some. THANK YOU to all at Sophia...

Year after year these people sell bad fish 365 days out of the year. The problem is they buy too much and it's not selling as fast as they would like.. So fish is sitting out for 3, 4, and 5 days. They don't throw out bad fish they sell it.. Everytime I visited this market and brought fish home to cook, the fish stunk up my entire house.. You can smell this lousy fish market blocks away. SELL YOUR COMMUNITY FRESH FISH. Fish should be pink, bright, with blood, and not smelly.. Your filet fish is terrible discolored and old.. BUY LESS FISH IN BULK AND SELL THE PEOPLE BETTER QUALITY FISH.. SEAFOOD POISONING IS THE WORSE...

Horrible! I went there to get a plate of Whiting with Shrimps and French Fries. I paid $8 for 4 extra pieces of Whiting and when the food was finished I asked to look at it.

Damn if they weren't trying to give me stale refried food that was dark brown instead of golden yellow. I asked for the food to be replaced and damn if I didn't find a couple of stale pieces hidden in the plate when I got back to work.

First trip last...
