Fresh Fish Market in NYC — Whole Fish, Fillets & Shellfish

Most of Manhattan's serious cooks shop downtown at Fulton or commute to Brooklyn for a true fish counter. Golden Catch brings that same daily-fresh standard to Uptown — whole fish, fillets and shellfish on ice every morning, with on-the-spot cleaning and filleting at no charge.

6 train at 116th, M15 SBS, FDR access, and quick to the Bronx & UES.

What You'll Find at Our NYC Fish Counter

Daily case: whole red snapper, branzino, whiting, porgies, tilapia and salmon fillets, plus rotating seasonal selections like grouper, cod, mackerel and bluefish. Shellfish: jumbo Gulf shrimp, U-12 sea scallops, snow crab clusters, lobster tails, mussels, clams and oysters.

How a Real Fish Market Works in NYC

Walk in, look at the case, and ask. Our counter staff will tell you exactly when each fish came in, what it tastes like, and how to cook it. Decide on a piece and we'll clean, scale, fillet or portion it for free while you wait.

Everything is priced per pound at market rates. We weigh in front of you. Prices fluctuate slightly with the daily wholesale market — exactly how a real fish market should work.

Why Uptown New Yorkers Shop with Us

You don't have to commute downtown to cook real seafood at home. We're a five-minute walk from the 6 train at 116th St, on the M15 Select Bus line, and a quick drive from the Upper East Side, Yorkville, Central Harlem, the South Bronx and Washington Heights.

And if you don't feel like cooking, the same fish from the case can be fried, steamed or grilled hot to order at the prepared counter — same daily-fresh fish, no restaurant markup.
