Greenpoint Fish & Lobster Co.

Greenpoint Fish and Lobster Co is a decently good American seafood restaurant in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

The ambiance is simple and clean, and the service was friendly and somewhat efficient.

The food was all okay to good. The oysters were solidly good. They had only minimal bits of broken shell, and were delicious. They even had a great west coast oyster- and I typically don’t enjoy the minerally taste of west coast oysters. That was a recommendation of our server, so thanks to her for that.
The fish chowder needed some salt, but was also simple and delicious.
The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the Maine-style lobster roll. I lived in Boston for about four years and so just got super spoiled by amazing lobster rolls up there. The one served here is small in size, and bland in flavor. It is admittedly of good quality ingredients from what I can tell, but just needed salt/seasoning/butter- something to give it flavor. Again, it was okay, but isn’t a lobster roll I’d return for.

All in all though, the food is good overall and it’s a place I’d recommend and will return to.

The seafood is good, but the portions and preparation is a little disappointing. One of the best parts of a scallop includes the side muscles and row. When I asked for this to be prepared, the parts should have been thoroughly washed of sand and grit before pan frying. In part, it was my fault for asking and conversely the side muscle should not have been served if the cook has never prepared it before.

It’s too bright to enjoy a meal. Having said that the seafood is fresh if you want to pickup and go

Really, really, really good seafood food, decent price, and nice ambiance. Kudos to the server: he turned around a 'rough' reaction he had with us at the beginning, and made sure the rest of the experience was SO good and genuine, that we ended up being very pleased with him. Someone give him a raise: he acknowledged his error, and fixed it beautifully. Will be back!

Totally fresh seafood. I was visiting so my friend brought me there, saying it is the only place he will buy, not even Whole Foods where he had bad experiences.

We bought: clams, 1.5 pound lobster, oysters and scallops but they had a brought variety of ocean fish also.

One thing to know is that they have a happy hour-discount on fish! And with shellfish, if you are shucking/they are selling you direct- there is a discount.
