Bay Ridge Fish Market — Restaurant in New York

Right as you walk in there’s fresh seafood waiting for you. I was greeted immediately with a friendly face. Because I follow them on Instagram I ordered their special they highlighted for that Sunday: a shrimp burrito. Hubs got the lobster roll and we grabbed a seat outside in the back. We regretted the decision only because it was colder than we thought and my sweater was not doing its job. My guy kept us updated on our food and apologized for the wait but it was so understandable cuz there was a cute (birthday?) party and the kitchen was hustling to get their orders in. It’s a small-ish space; party table in the back for about 6, table in front for 2, bar stools by the register for 4, and outdoor seating could be for about 10. But when we wanted to move, they made sure to clear the table and have it ready. Service is so attentive and kind that it felt rare. Okay, the FOOD: that lobster roll was at capacity and the fries were perfect. The shrimp burrito had shrimp in nearly every bite. The size was enough where I could finish but also feel stuffed but also could walk. We couldn’t stop there. We had to take home some appetizers that they have prepared in the fridge. While their homemade hummus looked gorgeous, we opted for mac and cheese and the crab empanadas. I also had some pieces of salmon broiled. All this seafood and a couple of drinks came out to be under $100. I’ll...

Major shout out to my husband Coach Ray who went straight from coaching his baseball game to pick up a seafood boil for me. That is real love. He got there around 7:15 pm and even though the food was not ready until almost 9, he said the staff was upfront about the wait and offered him a salad and drinks on the house to make him comfortable. When I called earlier to check if they had seafood boils, they were just as kind and honest on the phone.

We live near Brooklyn College and the moment he walked through the door, the aroma of fresh seafood took over the house. He brought back a full spread: lobster roll, shrimp linguine, lobster mac and cheese, and of course my seafood boil. He works remote so he is all set for tomorrow and Tuesday The shrimp were cleaned on both sides which I truly appreciate. The butter sauce was flavorful and the best part is nothing was salty. The corn was grilled which added an extra layer of flavor. I fully expected the lobster tail to be overcooked because that tends to happen in boils but it was actually perfect. Sometimes when you get cooked seafood to go and it’s not as hot anymore, it can lose some of the flavor but this didn’t.

The food hits and I am grateful for both the service and my husband’s patience. Great customer care really makes all the difference. I will definitely be heading over there myself next time. This was a perfect way to end...

This Fishbar was recently sold and the new owners are committed to expanding their food offerings. The restaurant now serves fresh clam chowder and will customize their menu upon request. Today i ordered a combo fried shrimp/calamari dish with pasta and manhattan clam chowder. This combo dish was not on the menu but the owner (Mohomed) was very gracious and willing to accomodate my craving. They also brought me a mini salad with italian bread to have with the pasta. They added some edamame beans to the salad after hearing I loved them. Now that’s great service 😁 Everything was fresh, delicious and surprisingly affordable! There’s a lovely garden in the back for diners to enjoy. The owner told me they are hoping to make some enhancements so diners can enjoy the garden space during the winter months as well. They are also in the process of diversifying their menu offerings by adding plant-based dishes for non-meat eaters! I was so thrilled to hear that. Its always wonderful to have options, so thank you Fishbar for striving to create a menu that appeals to multiple...
