Customer Testimonials:

A nice warm fall evening with a grilled trout for dinner. You can't get any better FRESH fish than at Empire Fish Market. Easy to get to - always fresh and they have tons of recipes in the shop too. Easy to find and good parking lot. Prices are good and the market has an efficient way of waiting on the customers.
