I shop at Stuart's several times a week. Every item is excellent.

Stuart’s Seafood Market – From Great to Garbage
I’m officially done with Stuart’s Seafood Market. This is the second time I’ve bought steamers from them, and once again, they were completely rotten—the kind of smell that hits you immediately, like literal garbage. There’s no excuse for selling shellfish in that condition.
What’s most frustrating is that Stuart’s used to be amazing. They had a reputation for quality and freshness. Now? It’s clear the standards have dropped off a cliff. Either no one is checking the product, or they just don’t care anymore. Either way, it’s a disgrace, and honestly, a health hazard.
I’ll be taking my business elsewhere—and I’d recommend others do the same until they get their act together.

Used to ship our catch into Fulton's Fish Market in NYC. After loading our catch while my dad filled out the paperwork, I would go into the shop getting lunch or dinner and it was always top notch! Everything is fresh!

Small, quaint, off the much beaten and overly hyped hamptons scene. Stuarts has fresh quality seafood daily. Ask for their fresh catch so you aren't buying farmed fish. We had the sea bass last night and it was melt in your mouth fresh. In the early autumn we go there while it is still warm out and order 3 dozen shucked oyster and sit on the picnic benches right outside their front door and have a magical early autumn feast. Love this place.

I'm very disappointed to have to post this review. We've been going to Stuart's for years to get the freshest fish and shellfish. But this year, my mom bought scallops for dinner, and they were abysmal. They were old, clearly flushed with water to look fresher, and not the quality one expects from Stuart's. Looking at the other reviews, the new owners are not keeping to the quality one expected and experienced with the original owners. We will no longer be going to Stuart's for our seafood. We'll look to other local stores or Citarella where you can expect and get quality seafood. I recommend you do the same.

I bought 4 lobsters and when I got home (10 mins later) 2 of them were dead!!!! When I took them back the guy tried to tell me 1 was still alive. So you’re trying to tell me it’s ok to sell 1 dead lobster??? Absolutely not!!!! And believe me they were both dead!!!!

Delicious fresh seafood. Also salads and a bit of groceries. Friendly staff!

Had a pickup order for 530. Wasnt ready till 600. When we got home 2 of the 5 orders were missing. Called and after about five minutes the missing order were found. Went back to pick up the missing orders. Instead of giving us fresh order (fried calamari) we were given the same order that had now been sitting for about an hour. Was cold. Fried calamari should not be served cold.

This used to be a great seafood shop with fresh seafood. The last couple of times I've been here I had to throw away my family's dinner. Rotten stinky clams two times in a row now. I'll never go back!
The seafood is great, however you can see that division between the staff , manger is brain wash by one of the old staff , the lady behaves like a manager and she is dead she is from my country and she doesn't even speak english we as me .

I do not post this review lightly as I like to support local business and I'd heard positive things before visiting. But it was very disappointing. I visited on a Friday, which is normally the best day to buy fish Out East as they get fresh stuff for the weekend. That was not the case. Even the tuna and swordfish -- which are brought in literally a few miles away -- were not fresh as all. The swordfish was beginning to smell and had the mealy texture of several day old fish. We bought a dozen oysters, of which only seven were edible. One was rank even before opening, two were yellow slimy and clearly dead, and two were fused together so unable to even be opened. Please see the attached photo lest you think I'm exaggerating. The inclusion of the fused oysters is particularly disappointing. Obviously these were not usable but were included anyway. It would be one thing if we'd gotten several dozen and these two snuck by. But when you're counting out only 12, either you don't know what you are doing, or you just don't care. With several other great options in the area, we won't be going back.

Freshest fish around and a great selection of local fish as well as from other locations.

I am happy with the consistently fine quality and freshness of the fish I buy here. The prepared foods are also great.

Fantastic selection! Clam pies (a hyper-local). Possibly the best lobster bisque I've ever had!
