"Crave Fishbar in New York is a B Corp-certified restaurant that advertises itself as the city's first 100% sustainable seafood restaurant. It follows the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s recommendations for sustainable seafood, composts leftover food, and donates oyster shells to the Billion Oyster Project. The restaurant emphasizes its social and environmental impact." - Jaya Saxena
"Chef Todd Mitgang of Crave Fishbar and Crave Sushi Bar discussed concerns about the strike affecting access to specific ingredients such as squid and shrimp. He mentioned that the strike could lead to increased prices and menu gaps lasting weeks, impacting consumer pricing." - Melissa McCart
"When: Daily, 4-6pm The Deal: $1.50-$2 oysters; discounted food and drink; $35 bottle of Conquilla Cava If you’re looking to eat delicious food and hang out in the mid-50s on the East Side, there’s no better place to do so than Crave Fishbar. Their menu is filled with seafood hits, but the oyster Happy Hour is particularly excellent, as all their assorted oysters are between $1.50 and $2." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman
"Crave Fishbar is one of the most consistent spots on the Upper East Side, which is why its second location is very good news for people of the UWS. The Upper West Side version has a bigger space but a very similar menu as the original - lots of options for people who love seafood, don’t love seafood (get the cavatelli or fried chicken), and everyone in between. Important: for dessert, their cookie that comes with vanilla ice cream is one of the greatest cookies in the entire city. Crave is a real utility spot - a situational catch-all in an area that could use more of them." - Katherine Lewin
"When: Daily 4-6pm The Deal: $1.50 Oysters; $6 Estrella; $9 Select Cocktails If you need an oyster Happy Hour, you’ll like the one at Crave. This place is more of a restaurant than a bar, but it has an attractive space with a vaguely nautical theme, and it's a good spot to grab a stool, drink a margarita, and go to town on some shellfish." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang, Will Hartman
