This is a great spot for fresh fish that is very well prepared. We dine here very often and have never been disappointed. The portions are very big and the appetizers are enough for two or more. The staff is very nice and welcoming.

We came here last Saturday night. Their parking lot is too small but plenty of parking by Aldi's. It was still very packed at 6:30 pm but luckily we got seated right away. They sat us outside which was fine. It did take awhile for the waitress to take our orders because she was the only waitress in our section. After that, the service and food was pretty good. We ordered grilled calamari, poor boy, and fish and chips. They served us complimentary garlic bread. They were very decent. They weren't as hard as a rock. The middle had softness, some garlicky seasoning, and the crust was crispy. The grilled calamari appetizer was enough for two people to share. Very fresh and bursting with flavor. After weeks of trying to find a decent po boy in Illinois, the one at Boston Fish Market has met my expectations. Shuckin' Shack in Naperville was trash and for some reason Pappadeaux doesn't have one that I can get anytime. Boston's poor boy was huge with jumbo pieces of shrimp and fried oysters. It's a lot bigger when you see it in person. It was delicious and filling. Their version of fish and chips was different from the typical ones you mostly see. Boston's was not overly fried, flaky fish inside, and moist. None of the food we ordered was bland. Prices can be expensive depending on what you get. No matter what you get, you can count on having massive portions. Btw Aleks is a great server if you get her.

Great good , Great atmosphere. My friends brought me here for my bday. My first time. Absolutely loved it. Our waiter Maro was excellent. We celebrated my bday. It was amazing

Boston Fish Market in Illinois is unreal--words cannot fully capture how delicious the food is and how generous the portions are. The quality of the food is unparalleled, as good as it gets. Imagine a 50,000 sq. ft. warehouse that supplies seafood to all the top restaurants in the city deciding to open a small grilling area at the back. That, ladies and gentlemen, is this restaurant. Picture just a few hundred square feet of ceiling area, a 50 sq. ft. grill, and part of the warehouse, where the fish is grilled to perfection. The portions are ten times what you'd expect. The oysters are enormous--typically a few inches in diameter, but here, they can be up to seven inches! If you want octopus, they'll get you a fresh one, throw it on the grill right in front of you, and cook it to your preference--grilled, barbecued, sautéed, boiled, or steamed. It's incredible to watch your food being prepared straight from the ice, right in front of you. I highly recommend this place. Every single piece of food I've had here has been amazing. I tried the Reno, and it was fantastic. The seafood gumbo, a delightful mix of fries and seafood pieces, is amazing as well. The grouper sandwich--a piece of fried grouper between two pieces of bread with some sauce--is out of this world. If you ask me, there's just too much food, but that's a good problem to have. I absolutely loved every bite. Boston Fish Market is a must-visit for any seafood lover! The service is quick and amazing as well

Boston Fish Market delivers, YET AGAIN! Where do I even begin with my review? I've been coming to Boston Fish Market for YEARS now - and every time I've had a meal here - whether on my own or with my family - it has been absolutely fresh, delicious, and a wonderful foodie experience. It's time I finally write a review on one of my all-time favorite seafood spots in the Chicagoland area. This place is a GEM! I live a-ways-away-nowadays, but anytime I am in town, my dad will suggest swinging by Boston Fish Market and my family's answer is always a RESOUNDING yes. Whether it be their fried fish specials, salads, appetizers, or their dinner platters, anything you order is guaranteed to be good. Ever since the latest remodel, the dining experience has been incredible! I love that the outdoor patio has a retractable roof - so that we can get the outside-dining experience on beautiful-weathered days and to stay cozy on treacherously cold winter days. No matter the weather, the ambiance here is always comfortable! The service is always exceptional as well. Staff members are so polite, attentive, quick, and contribute to an overall wonderful dining experience! The following are the menu items which I've had, all of which I rate a 10/10 on freshness and flavor: Fried Alaskan Cod: This is one of the first menu items I have ever tried and it is CONSISTENTLY delicious. You can't go wrong with a perfectly fried piece of cod, that is flaky, tender, and delicious. Squeeze with a spritz of lemon and a dollop of tartar sauce and you'll be in HEAVEN! Fried Lake Superior Whitefish: I ordered this the last time I went and was supremely satisfied with the texture of the fish and the flavor. This is certainly something I'll be ordering again. Fried Alaskan Cod Fish Sandwich: When I don't feel like having the fried cod stand-alone, the cod fish sandwich is an excellent alternative! There's nothing like a fried fish sandwich with a bed of crispy and yummy fries.. I'm getting hungry just thinking about this. Swordfish Dinner: This was the first meal I had where I experienced swordfish and MY GOODNESS WAS THIS GOOD. Perfectly grilled, so tasty, and addicting. This is a dish I love sharing with another person - as the portions are large. I'm not the biggest fan of the rice and veggies on the side, but I don't mind. The swordfish is the main start anyways! Fried Calamari: Crispy, fresh, and perfectly cooked! Add a fresh spritz of lemon, dip in the sauce, and you've got yourself a wonderful appetizer! I don't order this often, but have enjoyed it the handful of times I had it. Chef Louie's Charbroiled Alaskan Salmon Salad: This is my sister's favorite menu item to order and it is a LOADED salad! So beautifully loaded with all sorts of yummy accoutrements; feta cheese, olives, hardboiled eggs, artichokes, pepperoncini.. what's not to love about a well-dressed salad with a heaping of freshly charbroiled salmon on top? Also, the garlic-parmesan bread that's brought out at the beginning of the meal is always so warm and delightful to munch on. Overall, I highly recommend Boston Fish Market to all folks that are within driving distance or just passing through the area. It is more than likely you'll have an exceptional foodie & dining experience. Cheers and here's to the good life through good eats!

The Lobster Roll is so Good! Must make mention the best place to purchase fresh seafood to take and make at home.

I came here with family for an early dinner on a Saturday evening. We had a reservation but the guy who seated us didn't ask. It was already pretty busy when we arrived at 5:30 PM. About 15 minutes after we were seated there was a line that went out the door. We were seated in the main dining room which is comprised of shared tables. I had the George's banks scallops which came with a side of rice and grilled veggies. Hubby had the fried lake Erie perch sandwich which came with a side of fries and coleslaw. My mom had a clam chowder soup and a lobster roll while my dad had the shrimp scampi pasta (garlic and wine sauce served with colossal shrimp in fresh homemade spaghetti). All of our dishes were huge. My dish had 6 gigantic scallops that were melt in your mouth and the side of veggies/rice was plentiful. However, I wish it wasn't so oily. My toddler mostly ate the complimentary garlic bread and claimed my mom's clam chowder. My dad normally doesn't eat a whole lot but devoured his shrimp scampi pasta since he enjoyed it so much. Overall, the food was good but the atmosphere was a bit chaotic since the restaurant was busy. However, the other connecting eating area looked nicer.
