Great place to buy fish but also to get sushi! The sushi is fresh and at such a great price. The menu isn't overly extensive and the in-dining atmosphere is what you would expect for a store but it's a hidden gem at how good the food is.The staff are nice and helpful.

Great service, product and selection. The lobster roll is amazing but the tuna salad is the star of the show. I also highly recommend the New England clam chowder.

High quality sushi making ingredients. Made my own sushi at home and tasted restaurant quality.

Easy 5 stars. Dirks has the freshest seafood I have ever had in Chicago, and in general. Dirk himself is often at the shop and could not be more friendly and knowledgeable. When he is not there, his staff fills in quite well. Despite growing up in NY, Dirks is home to my favorite gravlax. We visit weekly and are always not only satisfied, but amazed.

Dirk's has wild caught fish, as well as a range of specialty cheese dips and seafood salads. Plus a really nice selection of fancy crackers. My favorite thing though, is how great the guys behind the counter are. They're super into it, and you can tell they love what they do. Friendly, Chicago custermer service, at it's best. GET IN THERE. This is the place.

Dirk's Fish & Gourmet Shop is a seafood haven. The offerings are fresh and diverse, showcasing top-tier quality. The friendly service and inviting atmosphere make it a top choice for those seeking delicious and premium seafood in [City]. Highly recommended for a satisfying and upscale culinary experience.

Not helpful. Just a yes or no question would have sufficed
I wanted to try my hand at making gravlax. The gentleman at the counter told me what salmon they use for their gravlax and set me up with two beautiful, fresh pieces of salmon. The gravlax turned out spectacular! Thank you!

The Best, fresh seafood in Chicago! Dirk is a great guy. I bought crab meat for my mom's 89th birthday and forgot a pound at the shop. Dirk called me and stayed after the store closed to let me return and buy it for our lunch on Sunday. Where can you find this kindness in our city today? Everyone at the party was blown away at how fresh the crab was. I can't recommend them enough from the crab to the smoked white fish spread (top seller), everything was superb. Oh and they have The Best brownies in the city.Thank you Dirk! You are one in a million.

Just went here for the first time, and so impressed. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, the place was clean, the market area had a ton of goodies, the fridge/freezer section was stocked AND they gave me a sample of soup while I shopped. Left with a good piece of snapper, lox and a sauce to top it off. Will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Very expensive and very ok. Purchased sashimi salmon and sashimi tuna and was somewhat underwhelmed. But alas, there aren’t many other options in Chicago unfortunately. I have had better experiences with Dixon’s in Peoria, IL of all places.
