I stopped by Make My Fish Saturday evening and they were already out of the chicken. I was going to order chicken and catfish and had to "settle" for the catfish. This is my second time trying to get the chicken, so I gotta do better next time. Third time should be the charm. My order of just the catfish, four generous, flavorsome, and crispy fried fillets to perfection, plus an added side of fries is the arguably the best fish and chips in the City, but I have not had the full range of the others and fish and chips is usually cod, not catfish. However, catfish is eminently more satisfying. The way they Make My Fish, it's hard to argue against the catfish proposition and, at under twenty bucks for the catfish and fries, that seals the deal. Add the hot sauce on top and tell me something different...smiles all around and people keep coming all night. They know what they are doing here. Let me add one thing: sometimes you need to listen to Brothas in these streets. I was walking uptown direction on Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd one afternoon passing by another fried fish spot and said out loud that it smelled good. A brother passing by in the opposite direction overheard me and said, "Go to Make My Fish." Thanks for the rec my Brother and thanks to the folks at Make My Fish. Next time Make My Chicken. Four Stars!

I still think about the catfish dinner I had from here. Catfish was perfectly seasoned and remained crispy! None of that soggy fish business over here. My leftovers even heated up nicely in the air fryer. I chose the grits w/cheese and Mac sides which were also delicious. I wish the grits had less cheese but that's a preference. Next time I'll get the plain grits and lemonade. Shoot I'll add a dessert if they have it too. Cash only! But there's an ATM.

This spot has been a beloved landmark in Harlem for decades, known for its delicious seafood at prices that won't break the bank! I usually try to avoid fried foods, but every now and then, you just have to indulge and enjoy a little cheat day!

Imma have to marry some damn body in there lol.this fish sandwich is EVERYTHING. My sister in the back of the car ranting and raving over her meal which was fish mac and cheese and collard greens and ice tea. Plus she want to go back lol me too. Told bae this our first stop after turkey day

Had a taste for fish and grits and heard about Make My Fish in Harlem. The restaurant opened at 11:30 am, and I was 3rd on line. It was just a regular take-out spot- not very large. The music was fine, a bit loud, but as I mentioned, it's a take-out place. After I placed my order, it took 15 minutes for my order to get ready. There were 4 pieces of regularly sized Whiting fish, and a container of grits. The fish was lightly browned, but crispy. It was seasoned, and the grits were hot and creamy. It was filling, and I actually had more fish left over. I would go back. If you are ever on 116th, in Harlem, check out Make My Fish. Till we eat again...

Loved this authentic Harlem spot. Probably the best catfish and whiting in the world. The portions sizes are huge! Can easily share. Please note that they only accept cash but there's an atm on the premises. The staff is lively lovely and amazing truly! You will wait especially on Saturday up to an hour for food but it's worth it! Delicious delicious. I got a little bit of everything and I loved it. Now my favorite spot

Great place with some fresh amazing fish for takeout. Not really a spot to dine in. Not too big of a place either. They are CASH ONLY! We ordered the catfish and shrimp with fries. And whiting and Mac n cheese. The catfish was mouthwatering. Seasoned to perfection. Shrimp were cooked perfectly and tasted so good. The whiting also was delicious. Mac n cheese was scrumptious! Wish we lived closer cause they would definitely see me often! There was about a 15 min or so wait once ordered. They're pretty busy. But it's worth it!

This is my second favor fish spot in Harlem. I have been coming here for years. Years years. It's a great spot to get while fresh fish you can take it home and prepare it yourself and u can have it steamed there. This time I came in the the fried snapper shrimp and fries. The fry station is also we're the steam station is located. The fish is pre breaded in individual bins Whiting snapper blue fish scallops shrimp. This is a what you see is what you get the service is cool those Latino men work hard for the money and still give u service with a smile. The fish is always. Cooked well. The fries or the crinkle cut and the condiments are out front so you can pick what you want and add them before they wrap it up.
