Hagen's Fish Market

My brother and his friends started talking about this place many years ago, so I wanted to check it out. I'm glad I did. You can't eat inside, so you get everything to go. During nice weather, there are a couple small tables and chairs outside the store. They are famous on the Northwest side for their fresh fish. You can buy shrimp, catfish, any other variety of fish you can think of, as well as fried veggies by the pound. They also sell cole slaw, macaroni and potato salads, as well as a small selection of snack food items and condiments. I love the shrimp and cod pieces, as well as the salads. The best thing is that they are NOT "the man." They are an indie store and they deserve our attention. The only suggestion I have for them is that their employees need to be a little friendlier and inviting. They seem kind of rushed and impatient at times. more

This is a fish store. Short and simple this is a place to walk into and buy your fish. I have no idea how good or bad their selection of fresh fish. I worked for several summers at Luther North High School nearby and one of the best places to go for lunc was Hagen's Fish Market. You have to try the fish sandwiches. I honestly do not know how to put is any better than that. The little triangles of fish covered with breading and then put onto a fresh bun and smothered with tartar sauce is one of the finest things you could possibly eat. Get a little cheese put on it or, better yet, just a side of fries (chips). The prices back then were unbelievable. You could get two fish sandwiches and an order of fries for under $5.00. I have not been back in many years, so the prices are probably quite a bit higher. Still, I am willing to bet the price of two sandwiches and the fantastic fries is probably still cheaper than a trip to McDonald's. The place is a little deceptive. You walk in and you are probably sure you are in the wrong place while you wait behind some people ordering salmon. Still, look above the counter at the menu and order the sandwiches. Trust me, you will NOT be sorry. more

A little mom and pop store that are more popular in small towns. They specialize only in fish. They will even smoke the fish you catch in summer months for a fee of course. You can smell the smoked fish for a block or two on a windy day. It reminds me of a store in Michigan I used to go to. They have a few grocery items for sale that will acompany your meal. more

They have wide selection of seafood to choose from & offer raw and or cooked items for your convience. They also offer smoked fish,which we love to buy and for those who have their own fresh fish they caught,they do offer to smoke yours for you.Whether your looking for a snack or dinner this place aims to please..Service is great and prompt.
