Dorian's Seafood Market

We order from them multiple days each week. If you want the best fish in the city, and you can afford to pay for the best fish in the city, this is your place. BTW - the service is terrific. I’ve gone into the store several times without identifying myself as a customer just to take a look at what looks nice on a certain day. Everyone is always happy to answer questions.

This has to be a scam or front that only the UES would fall for. Almost $50 per lb for grey sole? Lol really? That’s a $24 per lb fish at MOST. The most overpriced fish market I’ve been to in the city. The quality isn’t ANY better than the average market. The selection isn’t anything to rave about either. So weird it’s still in business.

I buy all our seafood at this store. The folks running the market have been here for some time and they have the cleanest place and freshest selection daily.

This place is our to go place for fresh seafood. Dorian owner is so pleasant and you cant find better and fresher sea food in the city. Staff is absolutely the best and the place is spotless. Highly recommended.

Good quality but you need to carefully watch sometimes when they cut and weight depending on who you get

I was reluctant to leave this review because I believe this is the best kept secret in New York. The seafood you can buy here is the best I have EVER had. The live lobster is succulent and extremely fresh, the shrimp is plump and the cocktail sauce a definite buy! Dorian is the friendliest owner. Cannot recommend enough.

My go to here is always the shrimp, crab cakes, and the lobster bisque. The place has been around from even before I was born and if you are a local on the Upper East Side then you have definitely paid a visit to Dorian's Seafood Market. The place is always very clean and doesn't have a bad fishy smell or anything. I definitely recommend getting your fish or fish related foods from Dorian's.

First visit very helpful, tightly organized .. I floundered asking a vague question and pointing. Got my nice piece of fish. Owner gave gave me a encouragement not sales pitch will shop there and recommend.

First time shopping at Dorian’s, one customer let in at a time due to Covid. The proprietor was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Most outstanding was the quality of the wide variety of seafood, which was reflected in the prices. The counterperson was very accommodating and I was impressed that each parcel of fish was wrapped to carefully and labeled. My request for an ice pack to carry the fish home was granted and I was happy to learn they deliver to UES at no charge.

I am a chef here in the city, & my fish purveyor dropped the ball on an event I had coming up in a couple of days. I needed very specific help, & Dorian's Seafood came to my rescue. The quality, care taken, & overall experience was top notch. Looking forward to ordering from them again. Many thanks Dorian's!
