Seafood restaurants in New York City

  1. A

    Tony’s Pier

    About 15 miles and a world away from midtown Manhattan, City Island is one of New York’s most surprising neighborhoods. Founded by the English in 1685, the 1.5-mile-long fishing community juts into the Long Island Sound and Eastchester Bay, connected to the mainland by a causeway. The Victorian clapboard houses here definitely look more New England than the Bronx, and the island is filled with boat slips, half a dozen yacht clubs and some rowdy seafood restaurants – notably Tony’s Pier, which fries everything but the cocktails.

    Elia’s Fish Corner

    Take note of the counter of fresh fish as you walk into this Greek fish place on the corner (right under the elevated subway line) – that’s your dinner. The chefs don’t get fussy on details – you pick your fish, they grill (whole) your fish, you eat your fish. A host of juicy appetizers are on hand (the grilled octopus is good, and the scallops are particularly tasty). No menu, no credit cards, but there is Greek beer and wine.

    Pearl Oyster

    People line up for the lobster rolls and oyster rolls and the crowds keep getting bigger, even though Pearl Oyster has now expanded its space twice. The wine list is more detailed than the menu, which consists of fresh fish (catch of the day), Maine lobsters, clams, shrimp, scallops and thick-hearty New England chowder.

    Ditch Plains

    Ditch Plains' sleek, metallic interior with wood booths and glossy floors is an inviting place to hang out while you inhale celeb chef Marc Murphy's glammed-up seafood shack food: oysters, mussels, fish tacos, fried clams, po' boys and more feed the masses until 2am daily.
