Our story
Meet Mikey Fish
Family fish market · Since 2016
Midtown Catch is a neighborhood fish market on East 57th Street, between 1st Avenue and York Avenue, in the heart of Midtown East. Since 2016, Mike — “Mikey Fish” — has hand-selected the freshest fish every single day.
Every fish is hand cut in the shop, and the prepared dishes, soups, salads, and vegetables are all cooked in our own kitchen. Customers come back year after year — some have been buying their fish from Mike for thirty years, ever since they first found him at another local fish market.
“We offer the very freshest, hand cut fish daily, selected by the ‘one and only’ Mikey Fish! We offer prepared dishes daily and can handle all of your catering needs. Please inquire!”
