With an eye on your health ...

Only the freshest fish!
Fish and seafood are essential ingredients to a healthy diet. There are so many health attributes (Health Info) for all parts of your body that you would be remiss in not including the recommended 2 serving per week in your diet.

NO MORE FRESH RED KING CRAB LEGS.

The quota has been caught.

We will have fresh frozen red king crab from Dutch Harbor. These were frozen last month and are the next best thing to the fresh!

Direct from Dutch Harbor, Alaska,

FRESH ALASKAN RED KING CRAB!

Incredibly sweet!

The crab in hand is worth two in the sea and

the one on your plate is the best of all!

Great catch, Steve!

Dirk’s Fish and Gourmet Shop

The nose knows: a quality retail fish shop should have a light scent of the sea. And stepping into Dirk’s is like taking a sunrise walk on a sandy beach with a firm-fleshed, red-gilled snapper in hand. Dirk Fucik has been mongering fish for 35 years, 5 under his own shingle, and in addition to an ocean’s worth of pristinely fresh seafood he and his knowledgeable staff offer prepared items including sushi,heat and eat fish dishes, salads, spreads, and on-the-spot crab and lobster steaming. Cooking tips, seasonal suggestions, and general goodwill abound, and every summer Saturday from noon to 3 PM Fucik sets up a charcoal grill for an impromptu cooking class and free sample session.  2070 N. Clybourn, 773-404-3475, dirksfish.com. —Gary Wiviott

This is the crab you can see being caught on the Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch".

This king crab is the best of the year!
