Westchester County Fishmongers

[menton1]

Looking for a good, fresh retail fish place in Westchester. Seems these places are few and far between. Heard some decent things about Eastchester Fish in Scarsdale. Any recommendations or thoughts? Thanks!

I've never purchased food from Eastchester Fish, but the restaurant serves delicious food. I had their Seafood Risotto and enjoyed it immensely.

Anyway, I personally know of three great retail places for fish. Apple Farm in White Plains Turcos, and there's a new place in Hartsdale Village called Hartsdale Farm. Please note that I'm not talking about the little farmer's market that they set up on weekends in front of othe Hartsdale train station. It's an actual store. My grandma loves fish, and shops regularly at Hartsdale Farm - she said the fish is really fresh there. Apple Farm has some serious fish turnover going on, but be warned, it can get really crowded there. Luckily Apple Farm has some lightning speed cashiers. Turcos has a great fish dept in addition to a beautiful cheese dept, oh and their deli too! THey also have speedy cashiers too.

Apple Farm (sorry couldn't find a phone # for you)

Not sure where in Westchester you are, but Mt. Kisco Seafood is excellent.

Very fresh, high volume, high quality, good selection. Minute parking lot, its like playing Tetris to get in and out of there.

And for desert, as you come out of the driveway, turn left, and about 3 doors down, right at the stop light, turn left into LA Tulipe. Better than almost any patisserie in NYC. Honestly.

I don't know where you are driving from but Bon Ton fish market off of exit 3 in Greenwich is by far the best in the area.

As previously posted, depending on where you are you may have to drive, but

MT Kisco Seafood

is awesome. I believe that Joe (the owner there) has single-handedly raised the bar on what to expect from a fishmonger in Westchester Co.

I mean lets face it, most Westchester folk expect alot from Manhattan vendors, and are willing to pay, but are fastidious with their $ closer to home, and seem to demand less.

Again, no idea what part of the County is good for you, but when we lived there, Yorktown Seafood in Yorktown Heights, NY was excellent. (914) 245-3474. Wide variety, helpful counter staff, and lovely fish.
