About Scale Fish Market

Fresh seafood market serving fresh fish by the pound as well as daily lunch and dinner specials like lobster rolls, crab cake sandwiches, catch of the day sandwiches, chowders, bisques and other seasonal staples.

Located at 45 Coles St, Jersey City, NJ 07302, Scale Fish Market operates as a seafood market serving Jersey City in New Jersey. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as restaurant, so it may cover more than the name suggests.

Store size varies enormously, from a small corner grocery with a few aisles to a full supermarket chain location in Jersey City with a bakery, seafood counter and food court under one roof. Sales and promotions are often posted in-store or in a weekly flyer rather than online, so prices listed on a website may be out of date. Seafood markets sell live and on-ice product and can usually clean or prepare fish on request for a small fee. Specialty food stores in New Jersey may focus narrowly on one category, like a butcher, a rice and dry goods shop, or an import store, so calling ahead to confirm stock for a specific item saves a wasted trip.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. Typical hours are 11 am–7 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (201) 721-5132. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, scalefishmarket.com.

Customers rate it 4.9 out of 5 on Google across 374 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded seafood markets in Jersey City.

Jersey City is in New Jersey, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Jersey City is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New Jersey's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Everything they say about this place is TRUE !!! An amazing fish shop/ restaurant/ Spanish bodega … I loved it all … specially the super fresh oyster from Jersey!! A little pricey but worth it! Do yourself a favor and go 🫢🏻

Scales is one of those hidden gems that makes you wonder how you didn't discover it sooner. The only criticism I have is that they deserve much more visibility because this place is truly phenomenal. We happened to stumble across it by chance, and it has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit a great experience. The seafood is incredibly fresh and of the highest quality, and it's clear that a lot of care goes into every dish. I especially appreciate the generous portions and the perfect seasoningβ€”everything is consistently delicious and satisfying. As someone who loves supporting local businesses, I'm thrilled to have found Scales. I make it a point to visit once or twice a month, and it never disappoints. If you're looking for outstanding seafood and exceptional service, this place is a must-visit. Five stars all the way!

Fresh tuna, generous portion, and great flavor. Really enjoyed it. My only knock is the price. $25 feels steep for a single tostada at a casual fish market. Delicious, but hard to justify ordering regularly.

My experience has been that service is excellent and all products are fresh and the menu options are delicious. Ordered New England lobster roll πŸ˜‹ to go and impressed with the amount of lobster(how it should), added some greens and enjoyed. Love this place!

SCALE Fish Market delivers fantastic quality seafood paired with excellent, knowledgeable staff. The unassuming space completely surpassed our expectations. They’re cranking out delicious seafood in the kitchen just as fast as they’re selling it by the pound in the market up front. We tried the mussels (the broth was so flavorful!), pulpo with papas bravas, and prawn al ajillo β€” some of the freshest shrimp I’ve tasted. The fish and chips platter was huge and easily enough for three people to share. The fritto misto was perfectly seasoned and fried. Another bonus: it’s BYOB, which is always a plus. 🍷 The staff was attentive and offered great recommendations throughout the meal. Definitely worth the trip!
