Arties South Shore Fish Market and Grill 4257 Austin Boulevard, Island Park, NY 11558

"Excellent fresh seafood. Best in the South shore. The sesame encrusted tuna, and the stuffed filet of sole are some of my favorites here. The variety is amazing. If it lives in the ocean you will find it here. Clean and well managed. You will not be disappointed."

"The only place from NY to Florida to get fresh shucked oysters and clams !! It’s October and prime oyster season I’d definitely go it’s worth the trip the price is right and they are so fresh !! Artie and the staff Cara, chris and Noah are amazing!! You feel like part of the family and will not be disappointed get the Pinot from New Zealand to it pairs so well with any dish!! The atmosphere is so relaxed guaranteed a great meal and night out!!"

"A nice surprise with this cozy little seafood restaurant. Not many thrills but good food and good service."

"We went here because so many of our friends told it was so good. Unfortunately that was not our experience. The octopus salad was flavorless and the octopus was tough. My husband order a shrimp dish and when he said he wanted it stuffed the waiter told him only 3 shrimp would be in his dish. He figured it would be 3 large shrimp stuffed . Instead the shrimp was a peel and eat shrimp with the skin still on covered with a clump of breadcrumbs and some crabmeat. The Gorgonzola mussels were excellent, which is the only reason I didn’t give one star . I ordered red snapper oreganata , baked potato and Brussels sprouts. The waiter brought out salmon. When I told him I ordered snapper he was rude but everyone at the table told him I ordered snapper. My meal came out after everyone had long finished their dinners , in an aluminum tin , in a bag! Not even on a plate! And they gave me roasted potato instead of the baked I asked for! I was so hungry by then and didn’t want to wait any longer so I ate what they gave me- out of the stupid take home tin. The waiter never came over to asked if we wanted more drinks or if we needed anything. For the money spent, one of the worst dining experiences. The charge for my dinner was removed , but it just didn’t seem enough for the aggravation."

"I'm so glad a friend of mine recommended this hidden gem. It's a fish market/restaurant. They only except cash and BYOB but it adds to the local owned feel. Everything's always fresh. The Gorgonzola Mussles are a must! Seriously, it's a must. You will want to lick the plate. After your meal, you can check out there market of fresh fish at great prices. If your around the neighborhood hood, you won't regret it. Head to the beach first then go here for a nice lunch before heading home."
