For more than five decades, Famous Fish Market in Harlem has stood the test of time—growing and succeeding without investors, social media buzz, or traditional advertising. This family-run staple has built its reputation on friendly service, fresh oil changed daily, and reliably flavorful fried seafood.
Customers queue up each day for a no-frills classic that never disappoints: fried whiting on white bread. “It’s about being consistent — every single day,” said owner Sterling Eric Strickland, who samples the batter himself to ensure it meets his standard. At 75, he’s still hands-on, packing takeout orders and serving the same brand of tartar sauce the shop has offered since day one.
Take a look at how this legendary New York sandwich comes together — and discover how it earned its place as a true Harlem favorite.
