About Golden Catch
Harlem's neighborhood seafood market — fresh, generous, and community-rooted.
Harlem's Go-To Seafood Destination
Golden Catch Fish Market is East Harlem's neighborhood seafood counter on 116th Street — a place where you can buy fresh whole fish and shellfish to cook at home, or order seafood prepared fresh to order: fried, steamed, or grilled.
We restock daily. Everything on the counter came in fresh, and everything on the menu is cooked after you order it. That's not a marketing claim — it's how we've always run the kitchen.
Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch, feeding a family, or picking up crab legs and salmon to cook at home, you'll find quality ingredients and generous portions every time.

What Makes Our Kitchen Different
Small decisions add up. Here's what we hold ourselves to every day.
Premium Peanut Oil
We fry exclusively in peanut oil. Its high smoke point keeps the oil clean and hot throughout the cook — the reason our fried seafood is crispy without being greasy.
Cooked to Order, Every Time
Nothing sits under a heat lamp waiting for a customer. Every fried, steamed, and grilled order is prepared fresh the moment you place it.
Daily Fresh Seafood
We receive fresh seafood deliveries daily and sell through our stock the same day. If you ask our staff when something came in, they can tell you.
Premium Jasmine Rice
Our rice is jasmine — fragrant, slightly sticky, and a better match for seafood than plain long-grain. We cook it fresh throughout the day, not once in the morning.
Coconut Rice & Rice with Peas
Beyond jasmine, we offer coconut rice and rice with peas — sides that reflect the neighborhood's flavors. Coconut rice alongside crab legs has become a go-to order.
Generous Portions
We don't believe in small servings. Our platters are meant to fill you up. That's been part of the Golden Catch reputation from the start.
Proudly Serving All of Uptown NYC
From East Harlem to the South Bronx, Golden Catch is the seafood spot that Uptown Manhattan counts on.
