UPDATE REVIEW 8/5/2026: After reading Aqua Best thoughtful reply, we decided to give them another chance. We also like to believe it was unintentional. I came early this morning and got my usual fishes ($154.70 total and I got correct change). The guy in the cap was patient and nice. I'm pleased to say I will be coming back every month and continue to show support. We've been coming here for years to get seafood, mostly fishes. This morning (7/16/2026) was the worst encounter with the cashier (older gentlemen with glasses). My total came out to $131.50. I gave him $201.50 in cash. And he gave me back only $10. I thought this doesn't add up. I took my phone to double check the math. I was supposed to get back $70. I wasn't sure whether this was a honest mistake or if he had ill intentions. If I didn't double check and spoke up, I would have went home with $60 less today. Just WOW. I hope anyone that shop here double check their change!!!!!!!! I attached my photo recpiet here. We don't know if we'll come back...

I would give these folks ten stars! I was in a bind and needed a last minute delivery. The folks at Acquabest took care of me with professionalism and care. Their products are excellent and their prices are great. I cannot recommend them enough!

excellent fish market in downtown manhattan. there's a very expansive array of fish here, from more luxe options like kumamoto oysters to more everyday salmon belly steaks. we've picked up king crab, snow crab, razor clams, mussells, and oysters here and they've all hit it off amazingly as main entrees in for our home dinners. the prices are reasonable and the fish and shell-fish are fresh (you can observe crab in the tanks, some fish that can be caught right before you buy, etc). the staff are super helpful and you can go in-and-out rather quickly if you know what you want. they also accept ebt, which is great if you're an amateur cook that wants to cook with some more unique and fresh seafood options. love coming by just to see what they have available during the day. the space is not the biggest but they truly make the most out of it.

When I'm in NY and looking to impress my guests or treat my loved ones with a delectable dish, Aqua Best market is my go-to spot. With the freshest selection of fish, scallops, lobsters, shrimp, and squid, it's a culinary paradise. The attentive staff, acting as knowledgeable consultants, consistently assist me in selecting the perfect delicacies, catering to even the most intricate culinary visions.

Aqua best is one of the best! Very good service, they clean and can chop fish on your request. Bought oysters here and they were delicious and fresh! It was $12 for a dozen. Also bought salmon head for soup, they chopped if for me into 4 pieces as requested and cleaned the fish for me. There are lots of seafoods here, fish, crabs, lobster, shrimps, clams, oysters and much much more. Prices are reasonable. Very accessible. They even have live fish and lobster by the fish tank!
