Pine Aire Fish, Que Rica Comida — Restaurant in Town of Islip

What an absolute gem! Pine Aire Fish is not only a top-notch fish market, but the restaurant connected to it is an unforgettable dining experience.

We started with the freshest clams on the half shell—so clean, briny, and refreshing. My girlfriend ordered the Latin-style pork with rice and roasted potatoes, and it was simply phenomenal: tender, flavorful, and comforting. I went for the shrimp and calamari ceviche, which was bright, zesty, and perfectly balanced, followed by a main course of grilled octopus with calamari and shrimp in a sauce that was absolutely out of this world. Every bite tasted like the ocean at its very best.

To pair with the meal, the white sangria loaded with fruit was dangerously delicious—light, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the seafood.

The atmosphere made the night even better. A talented musician played lively Latin music in the background, setting a festive and welcoming mood. The service was exceptional—our waitresses were attentive and friendly, and the owner, Dimas, personally checked in at tables to make sure everyone was happy. That personal touch truly sets this place apart.

And the prices? Honestly, I couldn’t believe the value for the incredible quality and freshness we experienced. Next time, I’m definitely coming back for the lobster and more of that amazing octopus!

If you’re looking for the freshest seafood, authentic flavors, warm hospitality, and unbeatable prices, Pine Aire Fish – Que Rica Comida is a must-visit. Highly...

Two dishes here are well worth the drive !!

Their pupusas are delicious 🤤 and the repollo y salsa toppings add great character to them taking them from a yummy simple pupusa to that great authentic Salvadoran taste.

Their second plate worthwhile is their lobster sautéed in their garlic sauce . Chefs kiss because I have had lobster at expensive restaurants that don’t even justify the price. Lobster was flavorful and cooked properly . The tostones side made it a filling dish. I would have never expected it to be this good.

Unfortunately my low rating is due to the very poor service from the waitresses and the super loud music that won’t let you have a proper conversation.

For the most part servers will bring the food out and that the last you hear from them until the check is requested and even then sometimes they take a while too.

I get that their clientele is male dominated and they’re there for the bar side of the restaurant but it should still be kept to a limit where others who just want to enjoy a meal can have a conversation.

Like I said , I will still come back because the lobster and pupusas...

This used to be one of our favorite local places. Sadly, Its gotten too big for itself without adjusting the staff making the service TERRIBLE. The waitresses are inexperienced, unfriendly and just don't seem to care or don't know how to turn their tables in a timely manner. The cleanliness has also been a concern the last few times we visited with the floor being very filthy and the tables and menus very sticky. One of the biggest turnoffs are the large amount of over consumed patrons loitering around the entrance and rear (or what they call the patio) of the building. The food is delicious, the beers are cold and the prices right but unfortunately the food industry competition is fierce and I'd rather pay a few more dollars and get good service than be...
