Overly rated! The wait time is ridiculous! 48 minutes for the food to end up looking like this! The fish looks like one piece was cut into two and served. Not to mention the chips overly cooked! As a Harlem resident, from the first time going here to now….. definitely falling off! This place is no longer a to go for me anymore. Greatly disappointed

Great food, but not perfect. The employees are all kind and helpful. The vibe of the place is a hole in the wall with no seating. The food itself was pretty good, but there were some things left to be desired. I got the shrimp, fish and chips combo. The shrimp was the star of the show in my opinion. I know everyone raves about the fish but the shrimp was fried to perfection and the seasoning was on point. The fish was good, but not as good as the shrimp. Now the fries were pretty mediocre, not much flavor or crispy texture. The price was kinda ridiculous, $23.55 for this combo, not sure I can justify that. This place is good, I’d definitely recommend to anyone who likes seafood.

The ” humbleness” of this owner is amazing. Cleaning the oil every day, cleaning the street outside his restaurant, five stars professional owner! I would suggest FFM to find a non inflammation causing oil instead of soybean oil.

My favorite fish spot in Harlem. I normally pick up the all fish basket to enjoy with a fresh salad.
This time I had it delivered and have you ever craved fish so bad you forget the photo? Yeah… that’s me. The bag’s empty, but that’s the proof. The fish was fresh, seasoned right, and gone in minutes. St. Nick & 145th — this spot is Harlem soul in a fryer. Respect to the crew keeping it classic.

There are not enough stars for how good this restaurant is. Black & locally owned. They get 10 stars for cleaning and changing their oil regularly. They serve whiting, shrimp, and catfish nuggets. The fish is consistent and prepared well. The french fries are also prepared right. And the potato salad isn’t bad either. But be prepared to wait because this spot is popular (I never go on Fridays- the wait can be too long).

If you are a real New Yorker, you already know this place. And if you don’t, you’re in for a seafood revelation.
Sterling has transformed the taste and experience of fish, turning even those who aren’t naturally seafood fans into passionate connoisseurs.
Sterling, his daughter, and the rest of the staff are absolutely extraordinary — respectful, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Their warmth and professionalism create an atmosphere that keeps customers returning again and again. ❤️
In my opinion, most people don’t just come for the fish — they come for the experience, the hospitality, and the family-like vibe that Sterling and his team cultivate so effortlessly.
God bless Sterling, his family, and the entire team at Famous Fish Market. You’ve created more than a business — you’ve created a landmark of flavor, culture, and heart in New York.

Mr “Eric” as his staff addresses him is a scholar and a gentleman. I ordered a Fish, Clam, Shrimp, and chips combo. I left without checking my order and behold, someone left out the fish. I called back and spoke to Mr. Strickland, a.k.a. Eric, and he made it right for me the next day. Yes, food itself is delicious… but Mr. Eric‘s personality puts his fish spot in a five star category on its own! To Mr. Eric: I’m order #149. Continued success and blessings to you and your staff.

I just got back home to nyc after being gone over20 years. The area looks so different, my first school was in the area. I remember my dad stopping in here for himself and my mom. I finally went and was not disappointed. This place and I have been in existence since 1973. If you’re looking for good seafood and affordable prices, come here!

While the food here is good, the wait is unacceptable. It took 40 mins for a simple shrimp, fish and chips order. They simply do not have enough staff after they got famous on YouTube. They need to hire more cooks and more staff to manage the influx. There’s also no place to sit. As for the actual food, the fish is pretty good, but the shrimp is the real star – excellent, slightly sweet breading and delicious. I would get only shrimp next time.
