At this minimalist seafood hub in Albany Park, indulge in top-tier fish, shellfish, and a stellar lobster roll while enjoying the fresh vibe.
"When your menu only has three things on it, a certain level of confidence is implied. At the Fishguy Market in Albany Park, that confidence is justified when it comes to the lobster roll. Available in two sizes, you’ll get Cape Breton lobster chopped to resemble tuna salad, with a hefty dose of celery seed, on a roll that’s barely buttered. It makes for the lightest-tasting option on this guide, even though it probably weighs the most. Like Dirk’s, the Fishguy Market is a seafood store first, takeout lunch option second—so be prepared to eat while standing on the sidewalk (there are no seats)." - veda kilaru

Available in two sizes, you’ll get Cape Breton lobster chopped to resemble tuna salad, with a hefty dose of celery seed, on a roll that’s barely buttered. It makes for a light-tasting option, where the flavor of the lobster and celery shine through. There’s a similarly structured tuna salad roll that’s heavy on the raw onions, and a simple salmon burger that could use a touch less breading and a touch more grilling. Whatever you get, expect a side of excellent pickled vegetable slaw to brighten things up. And since the Fishguy Market is a seafood store first, takeout lunch option second, be prepared to eat while standing on the sidewalk (there are no seats)." - Veda Kilaru
"Head to this small Albany Park market for some of the freshest seafood around. The shop doubles as a restaurant so customers can grab a seat at the counter to watch staff assemble a Cape Breton lobster roll. The excellent sandwich carries just a bit of mayo along with cucumber, lemon peel, and other herbs." - Jeffy Mai
