Fish market is ok. They have different fish and other seafood. The steaming portion… ok so the ingredients to me aren’t so tasteful I mean they throw a lot of the«medium» seasoning and garlic into your food but in the end I hardly taste anything at all once I’m home. 2nd time coming and it’s always paid for by a friend so I guess. But to come here and spend my money? Probably not.

This place is actually really close to my house. Its about a five minute walk to Church Avenue from Legion. It’s an okay seafood spot, not the greatest but not the worst that I’ve ever been to. I’ve ordered their steamed seafood on more than one occasion and they have different selections of different fish and shrimp. Unfortunately they’re not too big on live crabs which is a big dissapointment for me. Their steam seafood is okay. I’ve ordered their steamed salmon with steamed shrimp with broccoli and corn and it was really mushy like overcooked. Everything was falling apart and you have to be careful to tell them how much butter and seasoning you want because they will deffinitly give you a heart attack. Talk about extreme thirst. Also a little pricey. I’d say skip this and buy your own seafood to steam or take a dollar cab up to the street to fun city seafood! Deffinitly worth the save of money! !

Very great and popular place ! I love the fresh fish and veggies. I usually get steamed tilapia and shrimp with okra and corn, finished with seasoning and garlic. You can tell them how little or much you want before its steamed . There’s a variety of veggies, fish and shrimp!

I love Longwoods for fresh seafood and veggies. Always crowded but definitely worth it. I can say I’m one lucky gal to live so close to Longwoods. I recommended this place to all seafood lovers. Once you try it you will be hooked.

I don’t know why the same location has two business pages but oh well! This is a duplicate review: Well since I’m a regular here( Unilocal words not mine) I might as well write a review. Let me start by saying I love this place sooo much more than the fish spot in Harlem(read my reviews and you’ll know which one I’m talking about). Yes the wait is long especially if you go during the lunch and dinner rush but its worth it. here’s my favorite part: They actually season their food!!! When I say season I mean Cajun spices, old bay, garlic, black pepper, etc. The other spots just drown your food with butter and send you on your way. They can be slightly expensive but again its worth it($ 11.99 for one piece of salmon, not including the sides). My whole office is hooked. This is our«pay day lunch spot». Also they accept EBT cards so if you have food stamps stop on by. Minus one star: They don’t have rice. I don’t know about you but I love me some rice with my fish! Overall: See you guys on my next pay day!

One would say Longwood is «aiight». This is a mediocre fish spot. I have tried their fried fish and steamed veggies. The food is satisfying and with your guidance can be tasty. You have to inform the staff how much seasoning butter, garlic you would like. They have a tendency of being heavy handed and don’t mind serving up clog arteries with loads of butter. Watch your dish and be mindful of your health. I strongly dislike the fact that this place does not accept, debit or credit but gladly accepts EBT. WTH? This has HOOD written all over it. I understand that they may have many patrons that use assistance but there are others who visit the neighborhood. Get with the times.

It makes me happy to write the first review of this non-traditional take-out only, seafood eatery. It is an utter hole in the wall, that at first glance looks like a typical fish market, but those who follow the crowd and explore the insides, you will find a fascinating made-to-order seafood spot that does not disappoint. LFC is one of my favorite take out spots in Brooklyn, and I will drive from Bed Stuy to get it when I have a hankering. The big draw — a sultry industrial sized seafood steamer — that cooks your choice of fresh seafood and veggies, seasoned exactly the way you want it, in about 15 minutes. The menu is simple — 1) fried seafood made to order(love the flounder with french fries); and 2) steamed seafood, cleaned, seasoned, and steamed to your exact specification(love prawns and sweet potatoes tossed in lemon, garlic, Old Bay and drenched in butter). The first time navigating the ordering process can be daunting, so I’ve included a cheat sheet below. The prices are very reasonable and their selection can’t be beat. Ask questions and you’ll get exactly what you want(including delicious crab legs which they keep in the rear). Takeout only and cash only. Tip: Don’t be scared… Tip: Don’t wear good shoes(the floors are always wet) —— Ordering Cheat Sheet — — - There is a science to ordering. First, decided if you want steamed seafood or fried. FRIEDSEAFOOD 1) Walk through the door 5 paces 2) Turn left 3) See menu above 4) Order 5) Pay 6) Condiments… and done. STEAMEDSEAFOOD 1) Walk through the door 8 paces 2) Turn left and pick up plastic basket 3) Proceed two paces towards the rear 4) Peruse ample steamed seafood selection 4) Place seafood selections into basket 5) Check out produce offerings 6) Add produce selection to basket 7) See man in the rear of the store standing next to the scale and register 8) Wait as man weighs selection and calculates price 9) Pay man, take receipt and order number 10) Turn right and walk 2 paces 11) Watch as man cleans your seafood 12) Pick up seafood basket 13) Return to front of store 14) Place seafood basket on counter 15) When asked, decide on how you’d like your seafood seasoned 16) Watch seafood go into steamer 17) Wait 10 min 18) Wait for order number to be called 19) Add butter and additional seasoning(optional) 20) Leave with tasty steamed seafood, made to order and seasoned to you exact specifications.
