How We Started
A Neighborhood Gem on 3rd Avenue
AB Fish Market Restaurant was born from a passion for fresh seafood and a love for the diverse, vibrant community of East Harlem. We opened our doors at 1878 3rd Avenue with one goal: to bring the best Sushi & Asian cuisine to New York at prices the whole neighborhood could enjoy.
Our founders drew on decades of culinary tradition — combining the precision of Japanese sushi craft with the bold, warming flavors of Chinese and Asian cooking. The result is a menu unlike anywhere else in the city: authentic, generous, and full of heart.
