Greenpoint Fish & Lobster (114 Nassau Ave.) turned ten last month. The popular seafood spot celebrated the July 30 anniversary with specially-priced oysters, fish tacos, and lobster rolls.
Behind the beloved shellfish and fish dishes is Orion Russell, the executive chef and partner at Greenpoint Fish & Lobster, who was once an aspiring musician that hung with Courtney Love. Luckily for locals, his music career took a turn and his focus shifted to fish.

Wonderful profile of this man. I heard and read great reviews re this place. The issue is price with these seafood restaurants. The lobster Joint was a great example. Loved their lobster rolls and linguini in white clam source and even their hamburger but the prices kept going up especially the lobster. Combined with other issues, they closed and now the one millionth wine bar in Greenpoint has opened.
Hope this place doesn’t meet the same fate. We need a good dedicated sea food restaurant in Greenpoint.
