There is no shortage of great seafood restaurants in New York. With our proximity to both the ocean and the Great Lakes, we have seemingly endless options for fresh seafood. One spot that we love is a little seafood market and restaurant tucked away in Syracuse. The Fish Cove receives fresh shipments every single day, so the food you eat is cooked practically right off the boat. Some of the freshest seafood in New York is served up here, so stop on by next time you’re craving shrimp or seafood!

This doesn’t look like the typical beachfront seafood shack you’d expect to find fresh seafood in. Instead, it’s hidden unsuspectingly in a Syracuse strip mall.

The Fish Cove opened up in Westvale Plaza in 1948. The family-run restaurant is now in its third generation of owners. It doesn’t look like much inside, with a simple counter and small area for dine-in, but it sure is delicious!

Shipments are received daily. You can purchase raw seafood at market price. There are a variety of shrimp, clams, fish, and lobster to choose from.

Don’t feel like the hassle of cooking the fish yourself? No worries, The Fish Cove also has a selection of cooked dishes available, including weekly specials served up at lunch.

Fried seafood is their specialty. It’s perfectly battered and never greasy, fried to just the right consistency.

Don’t skip out on the sides, either. The seafood may be what this place is known for, but there are plenty of great dishes like fried mushrooms, fried cauliflower, and macaroni salad available as well.
