[@MattDV]

Thanks Porchia. Thanks to you and your husband for supporting our channel. -Matt DV

[@cookieschocolate1130]

Yes, this is my husband‘s favorite fish market. He grew up right in those buildings so this is where he will always go to and still go to get his fish sandwiches.

[@MattDV]

Nice! Georgia King Village. Yes!

[@shellysworld1222]

Man do I miss brick city. I'm born and raised there. It feels good seeing a KZbinr representing my home town. You got a new subbie. Thanks for sharing.

[@ainmuhammad1523]

[@romeredubost6971]

That porgie at $7 bux and change cleaned and fried is a super bargain ! Clams bring it to 14…can’t beat that.

[@MattDV]

Yes, I should have stressed that more in the video. That's a good deal right? lol Thanks

[@Willa4420]

I went there yesterday !!! You are true to your word. The fish is fresh. Great portions at a reasonable price !!! Great spot to enjoy seafood :)

[@toneywalker41]

Nice.. thank you.. much love to you all the way from Fort Worth Texas....ie... great road trip

[@MattDV]

Thank you Toney!

[@MattDV]

Couldn't agree more!

[@omhusain1714]

Thank for sharing that . Will visit soon .

[@MattDV]

You are welcome. Thanks for tuning in to the channel.

[@RogueBurn]

That's a nice size porgy, a nice sammich. Wait...WHAT? You put the hood on that fish. Hot sauce and tartar then wash it down with some grape soda. That's Newark.

[@djcapone973]

I just went here for the first time on Friday and got the fried fish combo so good! Might have to make a return trip, the parking lot is kinda crowded tho!

[@MattDV]

Yes the Parking lot can get congested. Especially on Friday. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@Stuyside]

I used to get a whole Tilapia fried with fries & a couple of slices of whole wheat bread & a complimentary wedge of lemon 👍

[@luissantana4909]

It's one of the best fish spots in North Jersey. 2nd spot is in ChillTown Jersey City at the beggars lot towards the end of Monticello Ave. They have the "ling" whiting fish there as well.

[@MattDV]

Thank you.

[@Bebe777333]

Thanks! I will check them out!

[@sims2paper]

Mmmm those clams look so good and fresh and that fish…whoolaud that’s some good eating.

[@UberAV]

We use to deepfry fresh porgies (from Hyannis Port) and cut up potatoes at the speakeasy in Brewerytown Philly.

[@davidtrent1245]

That fish look fye as hell.

[@MattDV]

Yes! I was thinking of going there today for some fresh...

[@4seasonsbbq]

Great video brother 👍 I do love me some clams, but I like hot sauce on mine. I've never tried ketchup, I'll give it a try. NOW! The Porgy looked & sounded absolutely amazing, man o man, that crunch. You about to make me move to NJ. Have a great weekend, brother. 👍

[@charlita25]

That porgie 🐠 looks amazing 😋 especially since I’m am hungry

[@realestjokeinthedumpster5172]

I'm living in Colorado currently...but been there last year at the same area visiting...more power to you my brother 🙏🏿

[@MattDV]

[@jeffpittman8725]

I am a hundred percent out on raw clams. The porgie looks good!

Hello and good day to you ladies and gentlemen watching this video😄😉

[@jeffjones8955]

[@ivonneleaty8501]

I never heard of that type of fish 🐟. Looked yummy 😋 another great video.

[@MattDV]

Thank you.

[@romeredubost6971]

Y’all probably call it by a different name, although it might thrive in the Atlantic Ocean.

Wow 😮 you can see the steam coming out of the fish 🐟 . Piping hot ♨️ best way to it.

[@MattDV]

Yes I agree, along with a little hot sauce and boom!

[@benciaali6104]

Matt DV I live right behind there GKV🤣🤣🥂🏙️there porgie's and the cod and fried crab 🦀 whit'es in the bag

[@MattDV]

The Village! I get the bags when family come from out of town. It's something about picking out the fish, having them clean, and fry it. This place is a hidden GEM in Newark.

[@shericekoonce4277]

That whiting price was good. $2,99/lb. In Plainfield, we paying $4.99/lb.

[@MattDV]

I agree. It was a hard choice then the manager helped me decide lol. 3.29 for Porgie, 2.99 for whiting. Oh yea Red Snapper a whopping 14.99.

[@haaniymccoy2587]

That's my spot!!!!! They use to make deep fried veggies that's was banging!

[@kevinfields7500]

Yo I love Porgy's. That one looks well seasoned and delicious

[@chrisconklin873]

I feel bad for people that don't have access to fish markets like that. Nothing beats picking the fish you want and having it prepared right there.

[@MattDV]

Facts! It's definitely a blessing to have access.

[@sonyabuxton]

[@davidlaskey5348]

One thing that I know about up north is that you can find fish markets easily. I don't eat clams raw. But do you prefer ketchup over hot sauce?

[@MattDV]

I prefer both ketchup and hot sauce, but I normally eat them with hot sauce and lemon juice.

[@sheilaprice6192]

Normally I don’t mess with porgies because of the bones but im tempted to go there tmw after visiting my nephew in the hospital.😂😂😂

Yes, go for it. Also, I hope your nephew is ok.

Hi Natasha. One of my favorites.

[@deedeetaylor124]

Hi Matt, Porgie is known to have a lot of bones, but you don't seem to pick out the bones. I am scared to eat fish have a lot of bones. I have to say look so good. I also wish that I had the nerve to buy fish and keep the head for broth, but it gross me out.

[@ronniemosley9784]

Didn’t know they would cook for you…

[@davidtrent1245]

Us chicago people say "pop" too.

Hi Taffy,

[@gerald542]

The last time I will ever patronize this place was on September 28th and 2024. I have patronized this place before a couple of times five or six times. I felt like some fried fish on this day. I walked in, it was a little busy it's Saturday. There was at least five people online in front of me. I said this could take a minute but I'm a patient man. I walked up a little bit just to see what type of fish I was in the mood for. The first person was taking his time as if he knew nothing about fish, the four people behind him was making suggestions to him. 7-10 minutes later I find out the people ahead of me wasn't purchasing anything wtf, fine I'm next. Still waiting because there's only one person cleaning the fish the other was steaming fine still waiting. Another person walks in off of the street, he walks up and start looking at the fish, then he touched two the fishes now I'm just observing everything and I want to see just how nasty this place can be. Although he touched two of the fishes I said those are his two fish. The other guy who was steaming walked over to help out. Thinking he's going to ask who's next. He proceeded to help person who was touching all the fish. He again touch one more fish different breed left the other two and I said I had enough, walked out. I didn't mention how the four or five guys who were online how everyone was talking and pointing not touching but talking over the fish. Never again will I walk into this place. And going forward I will read all the reviews. Any person say anything about the establishments cleanliness even one person I'm going to take him/her word for it.

[@MattDV]

Thanks for sharing your experience.
