"What a spot. Come here for all your sushi fish needs. Once you walk in, you can sense the professionalism. All the staff is dressed in well maintained gruden gear, floors wet but clean. I’ve never been in a better kept fish market. Best of all, I didn’t have to think too much. I asked the absolute legend (seemed like the boss!) who helped me to pick out fish with a rough sense of group size and budget. He made all the choices for me and gave me great cuts with few bones that yielded enough fish for 8 people comfortably. The king salmon was fresh with hints of cucumber. The snapper clean and excellent with a little torch. The Maine uni buttery and sweet. The Akami wonderful umami. The prices are great and the service is top notch."

"Huge selection of fish and shellfish and everything is pristine and super fresh. My go-to for fresh, reasonably priced seafood in NYC. According to the owner, top chefs shop here as well and I believe it!"

"Best fish market in NYC. They carry some serious stuff that no other fish markets have. Hamachi, kenpachi, big eye snapper straight from Japan, all best sushi grade fishes cleaned and gutted on front of you."

"Aqua best is one of the best! Very good service, they clean and can chop fish on your request. Bought oysters here and they were delicious and fresh! It was $12 for a dozen. Also bought salmon head for soup, they chopped if for me into 4 pieces as requested and cleaned the fish for me. There are lots of seafoods here, fish, crabs, lobster, shrimps, clams, oysters and much much more. Prices are reasonable. Very accessible. They even have live fish and lobster by the fish tank!"
