What People Are Saying About The Lobster Place

Featured Review

Karen Hudes

In Short – Chelsea Market's waterfall provides an aquatic mood at the sprawling seafood store's entrance. Bright cuts of fish laid over ice and surrounded by greens are joined by ultra-jumbo shrimp, scallops, clams and lump crab meat, pre-seasoned seafood and numerous smoked salmon varieties. Enormous tanks of lobster and a sushi bar surprise at the the back of the shop, and whole steamed lobsters, chowders and seafood salads are ready to take out or eat at surrounding counters.

Sublime Sushi

by susanchenelle_citysearch

Don't let the strong fishy smell chase you away, inside this excellent seafood market you'll find some of the best sushi, freshly made to order by friendly, and highly skilled chefs. The pretty rainbow roll tastes as good as it looks. Their tuna is especially good. Hidden deep within Chelsea Market, it's a great spot to find fresh shrimp, lobster and fish, ready-to-eat or to cook at home.

  • Pros: Fresh
  • Cons: Fishy smell
