Fjord Fish Market 7.8
Park Slope
Fjord Fish Market’s Park Slope outpost is a hybrid seafood market and takeout counter known for sushi-grade fish, affordable rolls, and prepared platters. It’s where neighborhood regulars grab under-$15 salmon-forward sushi, lobster rolls, and seafood dinners without committing to a sit-down restaurant.

What makes it special: Seafood market with a strong sushi case and takeout-friendly prepared dishes.
Who should go: Seafood fans wanting quick, high-quality fish without full service.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; generally manageable on side streets except during evening rush.
Dress code: Casual—this is a takeout-focused seafood market, not a sit-down restaurant.
Noise level: Low—mostly grab-and-go with minimal seating, easy for conversation if you stay.
Weekend wait: 5–10 minutes for counter orders; platters may require a short prep window.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait aside from brief counter lines.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—some veggie rolls and sides but menu is seafood-centric.
Vegan options: Very limited—occasionally veggie rolls or seaweed salad.
Gluten-free options: Moderate—sushi and raw platters are naturally gluten-free; soy sauce substitutions recommended.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it's primarily a market and takeout counter with minimal ambiance. Better suited for quick, casual pickups rather than date-night energy.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no reservations and limited seating; assume takeout. If you need a dine-in seafood experience, choose an alternative nearby.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for quick stops—families often grab prepared meals or sushi to go. Not designed for lingering or stroller-friendly seating.
Best For
Better for: Affordable, market-fresh seafood and sushi platters at prices well below full-service restaurants in the area.
Skip if: You want atmosphere, a full dining room, or crafted seafood entrées—this is a takeout-first operation.
