A near fatal car accident in 2019 made me realize it was time to make my dream come true. Not in Queens where he had his market, but right here in Wading River where I have lived for 25 years. Within a couple years there wasn’t enough room in my Dad’s store for the number of dishes I was putting out.Īfter my Dad retired, I dreamed of having my own place. We would never let fish sit out for weeks like they do in the supermarket just to make a buck. I used only the freshest fish that we would get right from the docks. I started off making three or four different items – homemade New England Clam Chowder, Traditional Fish and Chips with Flounder and Cod, and Lobster Roll. I feel like I could just watch them for hours."I fell in love with cooking at my father’s Queens County fish market.

My favorite is - if you park in the back parking lot, and enter through the rear door - right when you walk in, on the right, is a massive tank full of huge decorative goldfish, just doing their thing. And they have a few large tanks that are absolutely mesmerizing. While Fish Planet is a relatively small place they a full stock of fish and supplies. I know, because I've talked to them multiple times about my tank and my fish.

Who know how to take care of fish and tanks and systems. No undernourished fish, not even any lackadaisical or bored fish, no dirty tanks, not even any empty tanks or empty shelves. I've been holding off on this review because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do the place justice, I'm kind of an aquarium novice.įish Planet is such a great little shop - full of hard-working knowledgeable friendly employees, and full of beautiful, colorful fish and the sound of clear rushing water.
