As a local guide, it is imperative to rate the quality of service received or not received in any neighborhood establishment.This location has zero reason to still be opened and servicing the neighborhood. On Sunday January 14th, 2024, my usual fish market was closed, however I felt like cooking fish for dinner, so I googled for an opened fish market near me,149th steam fish popped up, at 500 East 149th street in the Bronx NY.It was within walking distance so I went there to buy my seafood supplies. My total purchase was for $58 dollars and change for several different fish and I left.Upon arrival at my home, I checked on the purchase, and I decided to cook the 2 mackerel fish that I brought, I separated the rest in individual bags and stored them in the freezer.I began to clean the mackerel fish by rinsing in water with lime juice and, salt to prepare a brine to add flavors for my dish, upon inspection into the cavity of the fish, I quickly realized the fish was spoiled, the flesh looked like minced meat within the loose skin, needless to say I would be returning to the store for a refund.I called and spoke with the person who sold me the fish, he instructed me to return the fish and he would refund the purchase, upon arrival I handed the fish to the man at the register, the same guy who sold it to me, I also handed him the card used for the purchase along with the receipt.Mind you the fish I purchased were whole they were gutted and descaled before I left the store.He placed the gutted fish on the scale and told me he would return $6.00 for the 2 fish I brought an hour before for $12.00. he claimed he isn't supposed to accept returns and so therefore no refund for the same amount can be dispersed.I blew up with rage and refused to accept his rhetoric. I reminded him that I walked into the store to buy fresh fish that I could consume, after consulting with his coworkers, he handed me cash in the amount of $12.00 for my full refund for the mackerel however he kept my card and refused to rerun it claiming that I never gave it to him.People were eating as this was going on, I proceeded to clarify what was going on by telling them they could get sick in this establishment by eating seafood that could cause chaos to their health.This establishment is a dangerous place to do business, I do not recommend this location for your steam seafood for consumption or to purchase anything that they sell that can be safely eaten at home .Please refrain from exposing your lives to foods that can kill you.I will also make a report to the department of health to investigate the process they use to store seafood to serve and sell to the public.Our neighborhood must be respected, we are people too.the businesses who wish to conduct business in our neighborhood, to serve us, must respect our lives by treating the population of this neighborhood with the utmost care and dignity.We the people must protect each other. steer clear of 149th St steam fish located at 500 East 149th Street in the Bronx NY.Their supply of seafood is not fresh, not safe for consumption, furthermore the block is filthy and store owners do not bother to sweep prior to opening for business. WE ARE NO PIGS ?GOOD LUCK AND BE SAFE.??

2 times I went in there POS, bought the 2 pack cluster snow crab legs and both times I only got 1. Go back and the they put the blame on me for not looking when it’s tied up in a knot for you to go. #Never go there.

Their seafood is actually really good, great quality I literally can’t order from anywhere else?Best thing about it for me is that it’s local?
I was sold spoiled shrimp, they are overpriced and the food is not properly covered. I went there once and that was enough
Steven De Castro
This place is the best eating place in the whole area. It doesn't look like much and the prices are a little high (not crazy), and then you find out that their cooked food is as good as you will find in a fine seafood restaurant.

The food is good but a bit expensive at times. The staff works fast

This place was so nice when it opened up its just not what it used to be. U can smell the bad fish as u enter the store. Its also obvious that the owners don't care for the store like they used too it really looks bad. It's a shame because the workers r so nice. Good customer service. Sadly this is the last time I am purchasing from this store.

Terrible, the order I received it seemed like the crab sticks and fish were re-fried and looked instead of a golden brown color. The vegetable oil taste old. I advise for any one who is hungry beware first check the food always.
