The Manhattan Fish Market

I have bought a giant platter to share with my friend during out dinner gathering. The platter comes out to be quite big in portion and is really good to serve at least two person. Love the butter rice which is very fragrant and not too soggy. The sotong rings are abit too tough in texture. The fried prawns are very crunchy and fresh. However the side vegetables are abit too dry as well.

I have to admit, before I tried Hooked!, I've been going to Manhattan Fish Market every once in a while.

The place still has rather bad ventilation but it is definitely bustling with business and people.

Staff rather attentive though it was a weekend. Ordered the following:

- Crispy Whitebait

- Fried Country Mushrooms

- Manhattan Seafood Platter for 2

Had only ice water

Whitebait is like meatier ikan bilis, which comes deep fried and served with coleslaw on the bottom and a tartare dip, not bad, but nothing impressive.

Fried Country Mushrooms are not bad, but the batter might not appeal to some. A bit thick.

Manhattan Seafood Platter was huge. Rice, prawms, deep fried oysters, calamari and fillet fish. All was good, except the calamari could've been done better.

My friend add on the soup-of-the-day, which was cream of mushroom and a can of soft drink to his main course. As for me, I
did not add on as I did not want the mundane cream of mushroom soup. His set was the seafood platter which includes 2 prawns, some sotongs, fish fillet, fries, garlic rice and some vegetables. It sounds like a spread but actually a single person can finish all up. I ordered the herbs fillet (forgot the actual name) as I did not want to eat too heaty food that day. I changed the vegetables to fries Fries and garlic rice means more carbohydrates for me to gain weight. I asked for more mayonnaise
as the fries were too dry by iteself. The fish covered with herbs was real tasty, maybe also due to the fact that I like herbs flavoured food. The aluminium foil also contained the 'juice' and also the oil of the herbs-soaked fillet.

Obviously Manhattan fish market is not the place to go when you are on a diet. Everything is fried fried fried. Nope not that I am complaining. In fact I think the food or rather the platter for 2 is not that bad. I mean it is not fantastic, at the end of the day everything taste the same cos it is all FRIED. But i guess thats the reason why it is sometimes quite... shiok to indulge in something like that. Well if you are too overly worried about your health, you could ask them for lots of garlic. Gosh the garlic and mayo do make the meal complete and sinfully good. I repeat it is not fantastic, but not too bad either.

If you have been to Fish & Co, you will think that the concept and food served at this restaurant is very similar. Ordered the Small Flame Platter which consists of a huge variety of food - Flaming prawns, grilled fish, butter rice, fries and steamed vegetable. Though this platter is meant for 1 pax, the serving is huge. Do share with someone if you do not wanna waste food. Generally, the food tastes quite good, particularly the grilled fish and flaming prawns. Yumz...

Fiery Snapper & mussel $13.90

The fresh and big mussel is nice. They grill until just right.
The butter rice is quite nice,i like the herbs taste.
The snapper is also very smooth and tender,it is also very flavourful.
And the chilli also add tastiness for the food.

Rootbeer float $4.50

This rootbeer is just a simple drink nothing special.
But it still ok as i really need it after my meal.

we had their signature seafood platter.. it consist of fish and chips.. flaming prawns.. butter herb rice.. fries.. boiled vege.. fried mussels and fried squids.. the flaming prawns are the best.. i love the sauce especially mixed with their butter herbs rice.. it is a good combination.. the fish were fresh... and it served with nice garlic sauce.. we loved it~

Last few weeks ago, my high school friend came to Singapore and we decided to have a gathering at Manhattan Fish Market with the rest of our friends after both of us finished shopping.

We decided to go for a Giant Fried Platter. The dishes came with very generous portions of squid rings, french fries, crispy deep fried fillets and fragrant butter fried rice with some boiled carrots and veges. The dish tasted nice but not that impressed.

Anyway, we enjoyed the food and the gathering very much. Will visit the shop again!!!

With the Manhattan Fish Market promotion vouchers, we ordered the Grilled Gala Platter that only costs us $32.9. The set consists of two bowls of soup, two glasses of soft drinks, and a seafood platter. The soup of the day was Seafood clear soup. It looks pretty oily at first, but when you dig in, you will find lots of seafood pieces at the bottom of the bowl. Quite a good start of the meal. The grilled gala platter is bedded with the aromatic garlic rice! Nice! All the seafood are fresh, and well-cooked. Personally I don't like the squid, as it's too rubbery chewy for me!

If you wanted to have a big feast with your lovers one but don't want to spend hundreds over dollars for a meal, think this seafood platters is really an ideal choice. With very generous portions of crispy deep fried fillets, squid rings, thicker texture french fries, fragrant butter fried rice, boiled carrots and vegetables and fried prawn fritters, you will be over delighted by the wide range of seafood placed on it. Love their signature garlic chilli sauce as it is really spicy and the chopped garlic in it is really fragrant. Dipped these items with their mayonise sauce is also equally nice as well.

The Manhanttan Fish Market has been building their reputation for so many years with their fresh seafood and quality dishes. Recently it has also been issued with halal certification as well. Love to eat their butter rice as they are really fragrant and not too oily. THe fried squids are chewy and the deep fried fish fillets are crispy and juicy. Crunchy cut carrot are also included in the seafood platter to add on the nutrition value of this dish. This is sufficient to fill up two to three adults as a meal. It is delicious and do not forget to ask from them for more of their signature garlic chilli sauce.

My friend was craving for fish & chips so she brought me over to Manhattan Fish Market in The Central since we were around that area. This was my first time trying in Manhattan Fish Market. I've always love seafood especially crab so i ordered the Crabby Marinara! Its delicious, the crab meat was sweet! So my friend ordered Dory Fish & Chips. The fish was fresh and it was crunchy!

I will always dine in at manhattan fish market, especially when they do have the promotion of flashing their 1 for 1 fish and chip coupon. Although it is a 1 for 1 promotion, the serving for each person was huge! I love how they fried the fish till crispy skin but the meat inside is still tender and juicy. I also love their fries and cheese. In addition, we also order a fried calamari to share. Great!

These icecream is not bad.
Especially the vanilla flavor one,it is abit creamy,so it taste nice.The fish and chips is also quite nice.
The fish is fresh and tasty.
just i not very like the skin,i more prefer the fillet than this.
The fries is also quite nice,and it is really big insize,so feel full after finishing it.
