Kate's Fish

The best Fish market ever! The seafood is so fresh and high quality. The staff is so friendly and helpful. One of our favorite food to get there is the cooked lobster meat and they always have some for us even after their lobster roll Saturdays.They’re also always happy to reserve stuff for you if you call and pay over the phone. We got some great soft shell crabs from there.

We have been buying fish from Kate’s for over 20 years visiting about 2x per month. Always helpful and have never had a bad experience. While I miss Kate working the shop her son is kicking ass implementing new ideas. Definitely one of the most important anchor shops at the WSM.

Purchased some Lake Erie walleye earlier today, and yes I did fry it. Was excellent. The lady even offered to filet the whole fish when I asked because I didn’t know they already had some filets cut up. Ended up just buying those, but still to even offer was very nice of her. I’ll be back to try everything to be honest. Thanks Kate fish. Oh and she also let me leave it in their fridge until I was done shopping. Great service from someone who’s in the food industry themselves.

Thanks to Kate’s Fish, we can enjoy seafood as good as New England and the West Coast, in Cleveland. Ocean trout from Scotland, and king salmon from BC— stunning! Blue fin tuna chutoro is worth the splurge when available— follow them on Instagram to know. Also LOVE the oysters from Maine, it’s a real treat when they get those Glidden Points— briny, sweet, and clean— as good as but so much better value compared to Salty Girl in Boston. Finally, Boston mackerel grilled with sea salt and a piece of lime— perfection. Plus— the staff here are knowledgeable fishmongers, and nice!

I stood at the counter for several minutes before being acknowledged. When the employee finally approached me, there was no greeting or basic courtesy—she simply asked what I wanted. While I was waiting to check out, she continued chatting with coworkers and taking her time instead of helping customers. When I politely mentioned that I was in a hurry, she responded under her breath. I commented that her behavior was rude, and the interaction only became more uncomfortable. I shop at this fish market about once a week, and unfortunately the service is very inconsistent. There are a few employees who are friendly and professional, but other times it feels like customers are an inconvenience. The quality of the products keeps me coming back, but the customer service is definitely hit or miss. A simple greeting, attentiveness, and basic professionalism would go a long way.
