Madara's Seafood - Newtown

Such an amazing experience! The food was amazing and Shaina was so great and personable! Constantly checked in on what we needed and was so friendly! Food was amazing! Will be returning

I’ve purchased fresh seafood and prepared seafood several times here and usually it’s very good. An exception were the fried clams. They were very tough and hard and I had to send them back and ask for something else.I had another bad experience today though, when I decided to try their fried scallops. After cutting into them, I suspected that the scallops were fake. They were very dense, uniform in size and when I cut them open, it looked like they had been made with pieces of fish that had been pressed together. I asked someone specifically if they used imitation scallops in place of real ones and they assured me that they did not. They said that they were a lower quality than the scallops represented in the case that they sell by the pound, but they came in fresh and then breaded and fried them in house.I didn’t take a picture to post unfortunately.I asked if I could please have something else and I ordered the fried shrimp. They were better but not outstanding.I asked to speak to a manger. They said that he would come out to speak with me, but he was busy in the back cooking. I waited for 25 minutes and then I decided to leave.I wouldn’t have had felt the need to post a negative review if they had been upfront about their ingredients and honest when confronted.

Fresh fish is always outstanding and their prepared food is even better! Staff was super helpful and very nice!

I've bought fish here several times and it's always good, but today I actually ate their prepared food and a couple oysters. The food we got was great. We got clam strips, the fried shrimp platter, the stuffed blackened salmon platter and 6 oysters. Everything was very good. I would definitely recommend it to scratch that seafood craving itch.

Just passed by. They have good looking seafood, are quite expensive.
