A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
Thanks for your support and friendship. We look forward to a great New year!
Make fish and seafood a New Years resolution for 2009. There are so many health benefits and it tastes good too! Sign up for a cooking class this year, we still have spaces available on January 27th. See you at the shop!

Coming in January 2009
Fresh Bairdi Snow Crab Legs.

Live Snow Crab!
These crabs come off some of the same boats that fish for kings. The snow crab is a smaller crab with a more delicate and sweeter meat than kings. The price is substantially less too. Bairdi Snow crab is the larger species of snow crab and should come in around $20.00 per pound. Opelio Snow crab are smaller clusters and should be even less.

Cooked and ready to eat!

This is the crab you can see being caught on the Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch".
We met these captains last year and were very impressed by their commitment to quality! They bust their butts (and freeze them too) to bring you the very best crab!
This king crab is the best of the year!
FRESH KING CRAB IS DONE FOR 2008.
If things go right, we will see our next fresh crab by June 2009 out of Nome or Norway. We will keep you posted.

King Crab for New Years Eve!
GONE!
The boat went out and came back with very little crab! We only received 40 pounds out of 300 pounds ordered. That was just enough to fill our few preorders. Sorry about that. We do have excellent quality frozen King Crab for New
Years if you still need your crab fix.


We were extremely honored that the Chicago Reader
choose all of us here at Dirk's Fish & Gourmet Shop as
"Chicago's Best Fishmongers"!

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.
