Think of Citarella, and fresh fish comes to mind — thanks to the relationships that Joe (Citarella’s owner and original fishmonger) has built with his trusted fishermen and crabbers over the past 4 decades. Joe’s fresh-from-the-water seafood arrives at the Fulton Fish Market whole, where his experienced fishmongers handle it with extreme care. They skillfully cut tuna and organic salmon into steaks and fillets (packing each one on fresh ice) and they gently transport live lobsters and local oysters to each of Citarella’s seven locations in a fleet of refrigerated trucks.
"Our fish is shipped whole to the markets where it is filleted on site — one more way we preserve freshness."
When you arrive at Citarella’s seafood counter you’ll find an impressive variety of culinary gems: everything from subtly sweet shrimp and wild halibut to perfectly mild tilapia and cod. Citarella’s dedicated, in-store fishmongers are happy to clean and cut your special selections for you — and offer helpful tips for preparing your fresh seafood at home.
From the fishing boats, to the Fulton Fish Market, to the hands of our expert fishmongers — when it comes to freshness, Citarella does it best.
