Hooked Market & Kitchen - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food is excellent. I have had several dishes and keep coming back. The minor downside is the cocktails are poured short.

Love food and services on Hooked Market & Kitchen, highly recommendations

The best fresh seafood in the Capital Region run by people who know what quality and service mean. My highest recommendation.

Great place for fresh fish. In addition to the menu can we can order out of the fresh fish cabinet. Any varieties of oysters. Usually need at the bar and the bartender's awesome.

Always have the freshest, most tasty PEI, NB, oysters. Delicious. Perfectly grilled roll with hot lobster 🦞 . Fries are the best.

We were passing through the area and I was craving a lobster roll, so I googled restaurants in the area that had them on the menu and found this gem. What an amazing place! Fantastic service and incredible food. The warm lobster roll was delicious, and the bun was so buttery. The crab cakes and fish and chips were incredible too, as well as the local beer and wine selection. Highly recommend!

What a hidden gem! With a vibe and seafood quality it feels like you’re dining at a spot on the Boston harbor. The hot lobster roll and fish tacos were delicious. Calamari was perfectly fried. We will definitely be back. The only thing I’d say is that it would be nice to have cocktail sauce or a spicy mayo for the calamari as it comes with a marinara, and the bun for the lobster roll is pretty dense/thick. Definitely wouldn’t stop me from getting these two items again though!

My friend and I were very excited to have the daily special which was linguini with white clam sauce. The dish was tasty but very very skimpy. Lots of bread served with the dish but didn’t make up for the small Amount of the clams,sauce and pasta for the price.. A small salad would have been nice.

Hooked is a great seafood restaurant and store. Not only is the seafood fresh and delicious, but so are the innovative salads and soups.

Always excellent fresh food. Service is friendly and professional. We dine here at least once a week.

Small with just average food. There’s six of us in a group and still have to wait about 30 mins. or longer after making a reservation although she said they don’t take reservations she did anyway. Gave enough warning. Friendly staff. Parking is also small.

Absolutely phenomenal. Was really blown away. Had oysters and the fish special which was halibut and my mother had the fish and chips. They normally prepare the fish and chips with cod but they were happy to substitute haddock for her. Everything was absolutely delicious. Papo was tending the bar and the service was terrific and he was friendly and knowledgeable. Will absolutely be coming back

Great lobster roll and some of the best oysters I have had.

Fish and chips were popular items 😋 salad varieties with the one tangy dressing and touch of capers. Pretty special, it was nice to explore adventures menus.

A super small but cozy restaurant offering fresh and creative seafood fare. A bit pricey but I think it's more than worth visiting for some unique and well-prepared food. Also has an on-site market and prepared food counter.

We just came here for the first time for our anniversary and I have the day the food and the service was spectacular. Our waitress was one of the sweetest person we ever met! She makes you feel so welcome! I totally recommend coming here!

10/10. I took one of my Italian vendors here a few months back, and the waitress was incredibly helpful and courteous. The food is dynamite & the service is excellent. What more could you ask for in a restaurant? I always go with the scallops, and have never been disappointed. Recommend highly to those looking for a new place to eat!

Delicious oysters! Loved the fish and chips, as well as the crispy baby octopus app. So fresh and so good!

Certain bites here were delicious: the hush puppies with the hot honey, and the pickled mushrooms served with the tuna were great. The service was good and the food came out of the kitchen quickly, even with a mostly full dining room and bar. The positives, however, end there. The swordfish tasted like someone looked up what blackening was, but had never tried the technique before. It was bitter, dry, and lacking salt in such a pronounced way that it was difficult to eat. The side salad was a relief on the plate only in the sense that I could take a break from eating the fish. The cocktail meant to be infused with a rhubarb and raspberry jam, was soda water and gin with some unappetizing detritus floating about. It exemplified the kind of laziness that made me say “how could they serve this?” several times during the meal.

Had a great dinner celebrating a family birthday.

We really enjoyed the fish tacos! The fish were grilled, and spiced really well.

Everything is fresh & tastes amazing

Wowowow, best fish place in the Capital Region!!

Made us feel like we were on the Cape. This was our first visit. We'll certainly make it one of our go-tos. Not your typical fish sandwiches, which is a nice treat. Felt bad for our Waiter who seemed to be the only wait staff during lunch hours. He did his best and was friendly and polite. Maybe add an extra person to help him out. Overall, we are now hooked on Hooked.

Food was great. Service was great

Very few places live up to the reviews and pictures, this place exceeds them. We are traveling to Albany from Boston for the NCAA tournament, and found this place based on reviews. The creativity of the menu, the flavors, the freshness, the cocktails, the service- all five stars. Every dish we got- the cauliflower, the octopus, the scallops and the tuna- each one 5 stars. The little details like the fried capers, the crunch of a chickpea, the seared buttery edge of the scallop- all meld perfectly. And Beth was the sweetest, attentive with great recommendations. Worth the drive from Albany! (And Boston)

The food and service here was excellent. I also like that they have a market where you could buy stuff and take stuff home.

From the moment we walked in treated like family! Apps, entrees and desserts all amazing. Desserts all homemade! Our table had several apps shared. Entrees for us Ahi Tuna, Winter Halibut, Fish Tacos and a Lobster Roll. One land Lubber had the burger with crispy onions and some of the best fries I ever had. And. THE OYSTERS! We did the Shuckers Platter. AMAZING! Waitstaff was awesome. Laid back casual comfortable atmosphere with soft perfect dining lighting. This place will be a regular stop for us as well as picking up fresh fish to go for home cooking.

Great menu and food is always fresh!

Great food and service. Pricey but i am going back!

Sometimes Google Maps needs a 6th ⭐... This place deserves a 6th star. I enjoyed a generous cup of Seafood soup that included clam, shrimp and squid with hominy, tomato and radish with a subtle broth with just the right touch of acidity. From there I dove into their raw oysters. Great selection! The Recompense oyster from main has been one of the best I have had. I finished my meal with a light vinegrett salad that was only topped by a massive lobster roll that was fresh and stuffed into a large slice of buttery bread that simply made it! It was a pleasure to have Jason for our server. Friendly, knowledgeable and prompt! I'll be back again soon and you'd be cool to sleep on this place if you enjoy seafood.

Went here with my girlfriends for the first time on Saturday. They don’t take reservations but you can call ahead 15-20mins in advance and put your name on a wait list. The staff were really nice. The food was great. We started off with the crab dip, harissa cauliflower and the mushroom bruschetta. They did not disappoint but I think my favorite was the hot crab dip. I got one of the best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time as my dinner. The fried haddock had a light crispy coating. It wasn’t greasy at all. The fries were so nice nicely seasoned and the dips of cocktail sauce, tartar sauce were really good as well. My friends got the fish and shrimp burger and the scallops. I tried both of their dishes and they were also very tasty. The scallops were cooked perfectly, with a nice sear but still very soft. Overall very pleasantly surprised. Great casual spot for dining with high quality food. Cheers!

I was so surprised by how fantastic the fish tacos are!! Amazing!

I almost want to keep this place a secret, but everything on the menu is excellent. Service was spot on and prices are reasonable for fresh seafood.

I have been wanting to stop here for the longest time and what a treat! Lovely oysters, soup, lunch and craft cocktails. Can’t wait until my next visit and will definitely have to get dessert too!

Clams on the half shell are a briny perfection! Sublimely done Calamari over an exquisite salad! Ty!

We recently moved down to the Niskayuna area and this has immediately become our favorite spot for delicious fresh seafood.

I've been a regular for quite some time, visiting at least once a week often with clients due to the great service I usually receive. Unfortunately, my recent experience left much to be desired. Despite expressing concerns about the food, the manager failed to address our issues. While they attended to other tables, our concerns were disregarded. For instance, there was another table right next to us experiencing the same problem with the quality of the food. Although our waitress was very supportive by trying to resolve the issue but she was unable to do much without the manager’s support. In fact, the (New to me) manager not only went to that table to address the patron’s concerns, she also comp’d their bill! She never even bothered to approach us to address our concerns or even apologize about the issue at hand even thought we requested assistance from a manager. The only difference I could see was the other patrons were of a different race. As someone who spends an average of $100+ per visit at this establishment on a weekly basis and consistent quality service is of importance to me, this experience fell short of expectations and left a sour taste in our mouths LITERALLY.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hooked, I ordered the fish and chips, which were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The batter was light and crispy, and the fish was flaky and moist. I also tried the Asian shrimp and fish burger, which was equally delicious. The burger was juicy and flavorful, and the Asian sauce added a nice kick. For an appetizer, I ordered the swordfish skewer, which was grilled to perfection. The swordfish was tender and flavorful, and the accompanying dipping sauce was delicious. I also ordered a dozen raw oysters from the bar, which were fresh and tasty. The drinks were also reasonably priced, and the service was friendly and attentive. The place wasn't that busy when I went, so the wait was very short. Parking is available outside, and the location was very clean. Overall, I had a great experience at Hooked and would definitely recommend it to others. Rating: 8/10

authentic and fresh seafood. very good, reasonable prices for seafood.

My daughter and I came here for a much needed night out and we were apprehensive about choosing a place we haven't eaten at before. We walked in and immediately I felt the vibe and it was great, welcoming, and comfortable. We sat and our waitress was amazing we noticed that for all we were ordering she didn't have a pad or pen. We were Impressed. she was knowledgeable and so down to earth, very professional. We ordered oysters (three types), cajun shrimp w/cream sauce, and crab cakes, and margaritas, Everything was DELISH. Everything fresh (small menu). I asked our waitress what her name was and we found out that she is the owner (Katie). Love her. Bottom line you want to eat here. I recommend a hundred times. We will definitely be back and so will you. Cheers to you Katie. Much love sis.

We called ahead tonsee if we needed reservations, and they said that they would place our name on the wait list. When we arrived, a table was just being cleaned off, and we were seated. There are about 25 seats, maybe less. There is also bar seating of 4-5. Our waitress was ready to take our drink order, and after asking a few questions, we ordered a pint and a bacon bourbon cocktail. We were able to have a conversation without hassle. The menu font was a bit small, and I wish they could have been more readable. We ordered the 6 fresh oysters, Harissa fried cauliflower, jerk mahi mahi, and paella. The harissa was heavy with cumin. Everything was perfectly seasoned. The bill came to around 120 without tip. They had dessert but decided to skip for now. The tiramisu was vanilla bean flavored. When we left the restaurant it was pitch dark, there were no lights on. We went back inside to let them know, and they turned them on, as they were on a timer and hadent adjusted them yet.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service! We had the crab cakes and the fish sandwich.

Delicious food. Looking forward to our next visit.

Starting to compromise in taste and quality. Was looking forward to the Crab and Cod Bisque. Disappointed with the grossly overabundance of Celery. Way toooo much that there is no balance. When you've started using filler you've made a turn for the worse. Lobster Roll is best with no Celery. When I go there I want to treat myself to something good and not care about the price but when it's filler you're wasting my time and money.

Love this place! Food is so good. It's a great place for girls lunch or date night out.

You know it’s a good restaurant when one of the top chefs of the capital District comes to it on his night off. @dominickpurnomo !!!❤️

Food was piping hot,freshly cooked. Was absolutely 💯% delicious 😋. Will definitely recommend and return.

I'm delighted to share my experience at Hooked Seafood. Their incredible seafood offerings left me speechless. From succulent shrimp to perfectly grilled fish, every bite was a taste of the ocean's finest. The freshness of their ingredients was evident in every dish, making it a true seafood lover's paradise. But it wasn't just the food that impressed me; their service was exceptional as well. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. Attentive and friendly, they made us feel right at home. And let's not forget about the desserts! Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the desserts proved me wrong. They were truly to die for, providing a sweet ending to an already remarkable meal. In conclusion, Hooked Seafood not only offers incredible seafood that's bursting with freshness, but also provides top-notch service that enhances the overall dining experience. If you're a seafood enthusiast looking for an unforgettable meal, this is the place to be.

Chose this meet up location for the fresh fish. The outstanding service, fresh food, and atmosphere were worth the hour and 1/2 drive to get there.

OMG. Food is absolutely delicious. Try the Asian shrimp/fish burger & their soups are excellent.

I'm from Boston. I don't joke around about seafood and I would go to Hooked every week if I could afford it. The service is stellar, too!

Everything was on point as always. Had the special which was squid ink seafood risotto, just amazing!!!

Food was delicious. They were out of one of the dinners we wanted early in the evening. Kinda small inside but the service was very good. I would definitely go again.

We originally came here to try their raw fish, planning on taking it home to cook. We noticed they actually have tables and a full menu as well. We sat for lunch one day and my wife and I were blown away with how fresh and tasty the menu was. My wife insisted we try their raw bar, with a wide selection of oysters. I've never been much of an oyster person, but once we tried them, I was (sorry for the pun) hooked. We come back regularly now and make it a point to have their oysters. Recently, we were in Atlantic City, staying at a 5 star hotel. We tried the oysters there since we've been on a kick. I can say that hands down, the oysters at Hooked are considerably better. Best fish market and restaurant in the Capital District. Definitely make it a point to visit here!

Kudos to the chef for blending such great flavors. The food was fresh, well thought out and bursting with flavor. We live in South Florida, and have some of the freshest seafood. Hooked restaurant seafood was not only fresh but it was layered with flavor. A must go

After driving by this place hundreds of times, I finally decided to stop in. We will back over and over again! The seafood pasta had more seafood than pasta, and the cream sauce was light and flavorful. Absolutely delicious. The poke bowl was full of flavor, so much better than many poke bowls you’ll find just anywhere. The oysters were fresh and delicious. The service was phenomenal. Everyone was friendly, on top of it, and clearly working very hard without letting us feel it. I also got the white sangria, which was great! We had so much fun just being there and enjoying the atmosphere and the food. Such a pleasant surprise and a somewhat hidden gem! Definitely recommend.

*💚After hearing back from Hooked- the owner, Luke?, I decided to change the star rating from 2 to 4 stars, mainly bc the food was great the first and only time, so far, we have eaten there and the fact that we were told by them that a 2 star rating could really hurt a small business. 💚* We loved everything about Hooked when we ate at their Galleria location, except for the Frozen Lobster Mac and Cheese, which had a thumbnails worth of lobster meat. I talked with Luke about it and he graciously offered a credit. However, I just tried to order To Go at their new location 3x! I was on hold for 10 minutes the 3rd time and could hear everything going on in the kitchen / restaurant. They completely forgot about me...

Best raw bar in the 518. Shucked perfectly, clean, and oh so 👌. Had the Cajun Shirmp appetizer. The bread was amazing, the broth even better. Just wish they gave you two loafs of bread. Then had the cold lobster roll, which also was on point.

Dining in house is so much better than take out, highly recommend dining in when you eat here. Loved it

6/24/23- I just had to come and add to my original review. We have been visiting Hooked since they opened and to this day have yet to find a better place to get oysters. They are always clean, cold and perfectly shucked. This visit we finally tried the paella, and I can tell why it is one of the menu items that stays whenever the menu is changed. The rice was so delicious, very well seasoned with such fresh seafood. They have an option to add the house made chicken sausage, you’re going to want to add the chicken sausage. It was amazing, just the right amount of heat and juicy consistency, not dry. The scallops were seared perfectly, served over creamy cauliflower mash with a chorizo crumble and a hint of lemon. The dessert was an absolute WINNER, mixed berries macerated with basil on a warm honey biscuit with the most amazing lemon curd cream. I love when a dessert is not overly sweet and this one hit all the marks of a perfect dessert. Our server, Tori was such a gem, happy, welcoming and really added to our already fabulous dining experience. 1st Review: Hooked hands down has the best oysters in the capital district. They’re selection of delicious cold water oysters is abundant, the staff is extremely knowledgeable and willing to help in your section process, but we just try them all. The oysters are kept ice cold, they’re clean and shucked properly to not leave shell shards or lose any of the delicious brine that makes oysters so addicting. They also offer fresh seafood and delicious fish tacos. They recently started serving beer and wine.

Fresh quality seafood. Care given for gluten free options. All the staff I encounter were very friendly

Took husband to lunch a little early for Father's Day. He ordered the fried fish and chips- which also came with jicama slaw. I ordered the fish tacos- which came with homemade tortilla chips and salsa. For an app we ordered 12 oysters from the raw bar with a vinegar minuate sauce and hot sauce on the side. Everything was very fresh, very good, and there were many items on the menu that I wanted to try.

Lobster roll for myself, crispy fish sandwich for my adult daughter who does not love seafood like I do. Both lunches were nicely plated, and tasted as good as they looked! The bowls of fries we each received were hot, crispy, and tasty. Coffee was fresh and hot. Delicious all around! Definitely going back. Cost? $75 total. It’s not a fast food joint. It’s quality, it’s local. Like I said, going back!

The fish was superb, the dessert fantastic and the staff incredible.
