Customer Reviews
I’ve driven past Fin for YEARS but have yet to stop in. I finally did and WOW — it was WAY more than I expected. I had no idea they served hot food or had so many ready-to-go and take-and-bake options. It’s not just a seafood counter… it’s like a full market experience. Fresh selections, frozen options, grab-and-go meals, and hot food that smells incredible the second you walk in. You can easily pop in for dinner tonight or stock up for the week. Everything felt fresh, thoughtfully displayed, and super approachable (even if you’re not a seafood expert). The team was welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do. If you’re in the 518 and have been driving by like I have… don’t sleep on this spot. It’s so much more than you think.
Fantastic Fish Fry from Fin! Crispy thin side and flaky on the other side. This was wild caught Icelandic Haddock and it was delicious. Fried to perfection and not too thick with the batter. A solid dark fry without being bitter, just how I like it. Dilly tartar makes it stand out well compared to the basic stuff, and the flavor matched. Considering the fries and fried fish, having tartar (or choice of cocktail), lemon (standard, must have), and seaweed salad (or choice of slaw), makes the refreshing options outnumber the heavy main bits, which keeps the meal satisfying. The picture makes the dish look smaller than it is, rest assured this is a huge portion at a solid price ($17), and it made for 2 meals worth, which is great value even without the quality being stellar. I think next time
Has superb fish and oysters. The fish has always been fresh and, when cooked, tasty. Recommend the fish and arancini. The soup has been too salty for my taste. If you like highly salted food, then the soup would be acceptable.
I've been coming here for years, and am very happy with the quality. The swordfish is the best I've ever had. Just bought some cod and crabcakes today. Their scallops are the best I've ever had. Entire staff is helpful and knowledgeable. The prepared soups are delicious. Seriously, I've had just about every product , with the exception of tilapia (sorry, don't like this fish), and my dinner guests' reactions are WOW, and there are no leftovers! Some people think the pricing is steep, but we enjoy cooking at home, so we are saving on money and quality every time!
I had a wonderful experience when I stopped in for lunch a couple of days ago and only wish I had come here sooner. The space itself is also a market selling all kinds of fish, sides, ready to heat entrees, and much more. It is open, bright, and inviting with kind and friendly employees welcoming you. There are a handful of tables if you are ordering a meal and would like to dine in. Finally, the food itself. I am only sad that I have missed out on all those other times I could have been enjoying this food and kept forgetting to stop in. The fish itself (haddock) was some of the best I have had. The wine batter definitely elevated the flavor and was unlike anything I have had before. It was crunchy, tender, and absolutely delicious. Fries were great too - crispy and with just the right amo
