The Fish Guy

Outstanding lobster roll! Chunks of lobster meat lightly dressed in an herbed mayo and served on a great New England-style roll. It's definitely the best I've found in Chicago, and the price can't be beat. The side of vinegar-based cole slaw (with red bell pepper) acts as a bright palate cleanser between bites. You've made this New Englander very happy! Check out the rest of the store, too. The display case is filled with so many delicious seafood options. There are also a lot of sauces, beverages, and tools to help with your seafood adventures.

Aaron and his team were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. They provided an incredible in-home dining experience for our group of 20+ guests, with fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented dishes. The appetizers and full course dinner was delicious — you could truly taste the quality and care that went into the food. Beyond the amazing meal, the service was wonderful. The team was attentive, professional, and so thoughtful, making sure every guest felt taken care of (considerate of all dietary restrictions among our group). We all had such a lovely evening! If you’re looking for a top-notch catering experience with fresh seafood and excellent service, I highly recommend The Fish Guy.

Stopped in there to treat myself after a long workweek. I've always been a seafood lover but the better quality is often hard to come by unless you're willing to pay up. And this place is not inexpensive. When I left this place I knew a lot more than when I stepped inside, thanks to the folks working there. Came home with a highly recommended fluke filet (summer flounder from Massachusetts waters) and sauteed it up for dinner and. Oh. My. Incredible. Also have tried the Monkfish...which was good. Will be back for that occasional indulgence in high quality fish or shellfish. I want to try the sushi grade salmon at some point. I know my cats do too.

This is a fantastic take on a traditional New England style lobster roll, in which the cooked lobster chunks is served as a lobster salad on a toasted split top bun. The lobster salad was amazing and the portion size is robust!! The dressing on the cold hunks of lobster was simply made of mixing mayo, celery, lemon juice, salt and pepper. I tasted a hint of dill but was delicious nonetheless. There is no in-store seating allowed and all prepared foods or purchases are to-go. The shop is simple decor, just fresh seafood to pick-up and go. This is a quiet hidden gem in Albany Patk. The staff was friendly and accomodating. Well worth the visit for this amazing lobster roll.

Fresh, delicious, comforting food; kind, creative, attentive staff! I chose The Fish Guy to cater a dinner party recently and was blown away by the quality of food and service. My guests talked all the next day about the star of the night: sous vide black cod— perfectly light miso-marinated and firm yet buttery. Starters included plump chilled (huge!) shrimp with homemade cocktail sauce, fresh briny oysters, and bright poke with tender tuna. Yum! We ate so well and it made me feel like a proud host without having to stress about a thing for a big group. Biggest thank you and so impressed with The Fish Guy, revamped!
