Chicago’s Premier Fish & Seafood

SUNDAY
10:00am – 5:00pm

CLOSED FOUR DAYS A YEAR: NEW’S YEAR DAY, EASTER SUNDAY, THANKSGIVING DAY, CHRISTMAS DAY

SHIPPING THROUGHOUT THE U.S. IS ALSO AVAILABLE! While we unfortunately can’t be responsible once it enters FedEx’s hands, we do ship throughout the country and are happy to package up fantastic seafood and overnight it to you!

Come on into the new shop!

The shop has doubled in size, in front and in back. We have a great new cooler and freezer plus a bigger kitchen to work with. 19 years in the same old small space and now... You have to see it to appreciate the changes and the new look!

We’ve added another fish display case, 3 standup self serve coolers for vegetables and cheese, a bigger freezer, more dry goods and room to sit down. We have a new prep area for sushi and lunches too.

COOKING CLASSES ARE BACK!

VIEW CALENDAR HERE

We are soooo excited to offer cooking classes again.

-Terry & Dirk

Here is a recent review of our classes, in case you don’t know what you are missing:

“The wife and I went to our now, 3rd cooking class at Dirk’s, and much like the first two, it was simply amazing. We both walked away saying the exact same thing, that at $50 a person, it felt like an absolute steal. Dirk and Terry within minutes are so friendly and comfortable that you truly feel like family. Not only do you get to enjoy the best seafood in the city, you get a detailed demo, the delicious recipes, any and all questions answered, and the best part they fill you up with so much flavorful food that you will be talking about it for a long time. They are totally cool with bringing in any booze you might want, and the classes fit just the perfect amount of people where it’s interactive and fun as well. I highly recommend this to not only experienced foodies/chefs all the way to even just a couple looking for a great dinner. Great experience all around and looking forward to our next class.”
— Happy Customer

FRESH CAUGHT ASIAN CARP

The Dead Meat TV show joins Nate Wallick and Peoria Carp Hunters to see if Asian carp really do fly out of the water and whack you in the head if you're not paying attention. Joining Scott Leysath on the trip are Dirk and Terry Fucik from Dirk's Fish in Chicago and Austan Goolsbee.
