“Moved away from Bay ridge 15 years ago. Was just wondering if Cosentinos fish was still in business. Glad to see this family business was. Sitting by my fire I decided to read the reviews. Almost all positive, but I was more interested in the few negative. The one that I enjoyed the most was the one about no one wearing masks during the pandemic. I was asked to leave two stores during the fake COVID scam as a customer. I told them gladly. Good for Cosentinos for not tolerating that crap! Than there was one about not being politely served at 9:30, and having little fish on display, while opening their doors at 8:00. Did the guy ever think sometimes the fish hasn't arrived yet, or their buisy getting it ready for proper display. Nope. It 's not out, that's all that matters. I dealt with Mike Cosentino on a few levels. As a schoolmate, a renter of space in his fish store, a casual friend. This guy is a gentleman, being rude to anyone is not in his personality. If telling someone a fact , that they don't want to hear is being rude, like, I'm sorry we don't carry that type of fish because we don't have any call for it,, Is being rude,then maybe you would have a point. No store, no organization, performs with excellence 100 percent of the time. As Vince Lombardi, head coach of the 1960's green Bay Packers said. "Each day we will strive for perfection noing full well we will never achieve it, but somewhere along the way, we just might catch excellence". Mike Cosentino, in my opinion, has caught excellence. One day ,like all businesses, Cosentinos fish market will be no longer , then, while picking up fish from Costco, you'll realize what you had and did not appreciate. It takes a tremendous amount of work day in and day out to run a business like Cosentinos in the fashion they run it. For those who love it, you understand it, for those who don't, either go to Costco or better yet call door dash.”
