Main Street Fish Market - Hempstead

This place is a fresh fish store coupled with take out cooked food. Out of desperation I tried one of their fish dinners. The fish was bland, over coated with whatever they dipped it in. Shrimp you cannot go wrong. Fries? Go to McDonalds. Problem with the community is there are no other stores with cooked food like this so they think they are getting the best! because they have nothing to compare it with. Most locals stop in here for cooked food because the only other place with good tasting fried fish more are in the next town(s) In addition, these people cook their fried fish in the same old grease, !! All I can say if you do not know better you don't realize there is better out there. I give the place a 3! Nasty.

Love the fried shrimp, scallops and salmon. They make it fresh and well seasoned. i would recommend for anyone loooing for quick fresh seafood

Blue crabs steamed and seasoned with shrimp scallops and vegetables before and after

These people truly disrespect us in our own community. you 'll never see one of us even working in this place. They hire strictly Latino--as do the Europeans. We 're never good enough to be seen working for them. Then there 's never a reliable and accountable person ready to take complaints or ask questions. The truth is the majority of patrons are neighborhood people who truly specifically buy what they feel is an economic meal--regardless of its cleanliness or healthfulness. Their Scallop (8pc/$7.00) is total bait and switch. They assume you 'll be satisfied to eat IMITATION processed scallop-like food. when my very adept wife took a look at them she knew straight away they were imitation. When I asked though they were honest enough to admit they were imitation scallops. I railed against her presumptuousness about what SHE thought was good for me--when I unwittingly ordered SCALLOPS . i had no idea I had to specify real or fake.

Good food and good attention the price
