Nestled in Greenpoint, this seafood spot serves up killer lobster rolls, fresh oysters, and a market vibe that brings coastal charm to the city year-round.
"You know your fish and chips will be fresh when it’s served right in a fish market. Greenpoint Fish & Lobster dates to 2014 and has been selling wholesale fish to fancy restaurants in addition to the chowders, lobster rolls, and raw bar items it provides to diners on the premises." - Robert Sietsema
"Greenpoint Fish & Lobster (114 Nassau Avenue at Eckford Street) is launching its first Fish Buoy’s 2025 calendar starting tonight at 7 p.m., with drinks, appetizers, and tattoos. Fish buyer Vinny Milburn told Eater he “always wanted to do a tongue-in-cheek homage to the firefighters calendars.” But, “since none of us are musclehunx,” they went in a different direction." - Melissa McCart
"When: Daily, 12-6pm The Deal: $2 East Coast oysters; discounted drinks Those working the night shift deserve discounted oysters, too. You can get dollar oysters from 12-6pm every day at Greenpoint Fish & Lobster, as well as other establishments (Threes Brewing on Franklin and The Hugh in Midtown) where this fish market and restaurant sells their food. At the original location, they’ll shuck them in front of you, and you can also get some clams and uni." - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman
"Unlike some of the other spots on this list, Greenpoint Fish & Lobster Co. makes both mayo-based and butter-based lobster rolls. Commendable. Whichever you choose, you can expect extra-fresh lobster—this place is also a fish market, after all—dressed minimally, so that the crustacean really shines. Each roll comes with fries, and you should eat yours outside with a michelada, a dozen oysters, and the daily crudo. Ideally at Happy Hour, which is every day from 12-6pm." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
"You’re never going to see a fishing boat pull up to Greenpoint from the East River, and that’s probably for the best. There’s no telling what kind of creatures are in there. But Greenpoint Fish & Lobster feels like it’s right on a pier, with piles of raw, sustainable fish on ice that you can eat right in the shop. An amazing lobster roll, solid fish tacos, fish stew, and freshly shucked oysters are all on deck if you’re dining in. People are always in and out buying fish for home, but the crowded eating area with hightops and bar seats is a fun little scene of its own." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
