I recently ordered a catfish, shrimp and Spanish rice I’ve been eating here since I was teen. I’ve to say the food was terrible !! The catfish wasn’t even fresh it was freezer brand. It was so bland I ask the lady was it seasoned well she couldn’t answer she just said her brother likes it idk how. Lack season !! The shrimp had no taste as well the only thing that tastes ok was the rice. Super disappointed I literally threw my food on the ground it was disgusting. Idk who’s worst them or famous definitely have to do better going cheap isn’t it. Won’t be returning smh.

Devin’s Fish & Chips spot on St. Nicholas Ave has been serving the community for nearly 3 decades. I’ve know I’ve been a customer since the late 1990s. Devin’s was very popular when they first opened because they had a steamer. Steamed snow crab⁰ legs and okra were my favorites with pink lemonade.
Also, the grilled salmon steaks with steamed okra & fresh cut fries with the skin on it.
Still a family bznz and a staple in Hamilton Heights,Harlem!
It’s a small world indeed. I found out over 2 decades ago, we attended junior high school with the siblings back in the 1970s. I recognized one of the sisters and asked if she had a brother, Willie. She said, “Yes, I do. ” We chatted for a while..
I’m happy that they chose to stay in bznz despite the changes & gentrification thisv neighborhood has endured over the decades.
Congratulations fam@

I paid $21 for catfish, shrimp and fries. The fries were bland with no seasoning and tasted like grease. What stunned me is I only received 1 little cup of tartar sauce for all the food I ordered and 2 packets of ketchup and hot sauce. I doubt I would return.

Good fried catfish and shrimp. I was not a fan of their fries or “chips” as they call them – they leave the potato skin on them. I wouldn’t have ordered them if I knew. The selection for sides wasn’t the usual, they offer tostones, and some vegetables like asparagus. Decent price for the food, will return but remember not to get the chips.

Food looks good on camera but that’s about it. Fish and chips portion was too small for the price. French fries were plain jane. No flavor at all. Taste like wood. Without the shrimp this would have been 1 star. There is no “Devin” there and its not a seafood/soul food spot. This establishment is the same as those fish market places that sell hot food in the back.

First let me start off by staying the workers in the establishment are very friendly. I gave it 2 stars because what I ordered, the taste and the quality. The catfish was broiled and seasoned great the shrimps were sooooooo tiny and over cooked. I felt like I was played with because no way was the shrimp that little. If you decide to eat here get the jumbo shrimp I would assume. I don’t even think the pictures does any justice on how small they were.

Sub par service and food quality. Food has no flavor whatsoever. It’s just simple fried food. Do not waste your time here. I rather eat a plate of tartar sauce than eat here once more. The place is also swarming with flies. I’m sure the food health standards are good but the price isn’t worth what you buy and the flavor. Left my tongue feeling dry and bitter.

I finished the food so fast because it was soooo good i wish i took more photos besides of the plantains. I got scallops that was broiled to perfection making it taste like crab and i got friend shrimp. It was amazing.

This place was a huge disappointment. The catfish tasted very “fishy” as if it hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned or maybe it wasn’t fresh.
My main complaint was the asparagus. I was given two sprigs cut into tiny pieces, and this was considered to be a side. To add to my disappointment, the taste was sour. How can asparagus be sour? If they didn’t have enough to sell, I would rather the restaurant tell me they were out of this item instead of selling me veggies that should have been thrown away.
I may give them another try after the pandemic has subsided. Maybe this is hindering them from putting their best foot forward. They definitely didn’t make a good first impression.

i went there last season but the flavors stay with me. The employees exceeded what we imagined. I appreciate dishes without unnecessary complications. This place serves plainly superior cuisine. I’ll definitely come again.
