White Cap Fish Market & Seafood Restaurant

We've been loyal customers for decades, and this place continues to be extraordinary. Over time, they’ve come to know my mom Annita’s tastes and consistently go out of their way to make great recommendations to her. For this year’s Christmas Eve seafood stew, they provided sea scallops, shrimp, littleneck clams, and mussels - - and wow. Everything was impeccably fresh, clean, and vibrant, truly a “taste of the ocean.” The kind of freshness that elevates cooking at home from delicious to unforgettable. Sparky goes above and beyond every time, and Joe, Kathy, and the entire team are just as wonderful - -warm, knowledgeable, and deeply caring. After so many years, there’s a level of trust and ease that feels genuinely special, and we’re incredibly grateful for the consistency they bring eve

This place is an experience you never forget. Walking in feels like you are definitely in the right place for some good seafood! The restaurant is very small but the food makes up for it! The owner is quite the character too. Everyone was very nice and helpful. The salmon was incredible. The shrimp was amazing. The chowder was thick amd delicious. The pasta was ok. Thank you for a delicious meal!

Had a great experience at White Cap Seafood in Islip. The steamers were super fresh, sweet, and perfectly clean with no sand at all. The crabs were locally caught and a really good size for #1s. You can tell they take pride in their seafood, everything tasted like it came straight from the bay. The service was friendly and welcoming too. I’ll definitely be back.

My wife and I used to bring our kids here for many years.. and the food was always very reasonably priced and delicious back then. For the dive place it is. We haven’t been here since 2019 right before COVID. Today we went for dinner and were very disappoint. I ordered the Mussels Marinara, which I had many time in the past and this was not good. I think the mussels were very watery and under seasoned. steamed and then just poured into the pan with some plum tomatoes thrown on top. My wife had the fried flounder and cooked perfectly, but lacked flavor. The fried were awesome. The unfortunate part is there prices have risen to very close to what a full sit down restaurant would cost. It’s sad to say, but we will not be returning.

Excellent sea food! You wouldn't even know this place is here. You have to drive down to the end of the dock, past the warehouse and park. Go inside and place your order at the window. Large selection of seafood and combos. Also they have New England, Manhattan, and Long Island Clam Chowder. We had the Long Island and it was outstanding. Also had the seafood bisque and it was great also. We had the fried seafood combo and it was prepared perfectly. Not greasy. Nice and crisp coating. Well seasoned. Definitely fresh seafood. You can also buy raw seafood at the counter. They have a lot of variety of fresh fish and shrimp. Live lobsters. Friendly staff. Everything came out really quickly after ordering. You can sit inside or outside right by the channel and watch the birds and boats.
