đŸ”„ Made a Saturday day trip from Brooklyn to East Harlem just to try Lighthouse Market—a soulfood seafood gem—and YES, it was worth every bite!

đŸ€ I had the fish & shrimp with cabbage, potato salad (SO good), collard greens (đŸ”„), yams, and mac & cheese (REAL cheddar, no fake sauce). Everything was seasoned perfectly and served HOT—not lukewarm!

🎉 The vibe? Upbeat and welcoming. Busy takeout counter in front, full-service dining in back. It’s a bit off the train line but super easy via the M15 SBS—hop off at 116th & walk 1 block.

â™żïž Fully accessible with a roll-in glass entrance, spacious layout, and staff who went above and beyond to pack everything just right when they saw I use a wheelchair.

💾 Prices lean high, but the flavor and portions are 💯 worth it. Lighthouse Market is now at the top of my go-to list!

Worth Every Bite!

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Lighthouse Fish Market with my daughter, and let me tell you, this place is a true gem. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was peaceful and inviting. It’s a quiet spot, perfect for enjoying some high-quality seafood without all the noise and fuss.

But let’s get to the best part: the food. The seafood here is top-notch, fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a burst of flavor, and we were genuinely impressed by the quality and taste. You can tell they take pride in what they serve.

The staff was super friendly and made us feel right at home. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Just a heads-up: they don’t accept credit cards, so make sure to bring some cash.

Whether you're looking to have a fun outing or just want a delicious meal in a calm, beautiful setting, Lighthouse Fish Market is definitely the place to go. Highly recom

Mac was on point. Catfish was enormous. Greens were really, really good. My only complaint is they have no diet soda at all. Besides that the vibe is a vibe. Really enjoyed our time there and will be returning.

I just went there the Rasta pasta salty so I was able to substitute for fried whiting which were yummy. The greens and yams tasted like grandma's. The server Jonathan was very very customer service oriented he was good. But what I didn't understand is you had to pay cash get the money from the ATM because they're POS system was down? Because they had no internet but the same thing should apply to the ATM machine no?

Absolutely worth the hype! I ordered the seafood platter and was blown away—everything was seasoned to perfection, from the shrimp and mussels to the crab legs and lobster tail. The sides? Next level. The mac & cheese and collard greens were so good I almost forgot about the main dish 😅.

The portions are huge for the price, and the food came out hot and fresh. You can tell they put love into every plate. Staff was friendly and the vibe inside was chill and welcoming.

If you’re craving flavorful, soulful seafood—this spot is it. Can’t wait to come back!

Food is good. Fried Lobster Tail was delicious. A lil pricey. This particular restaurant really needs to work on their service. One server one hostess.
