Excellence in every way along with wonderful customer care and huge variety of products make it now my favorite seafood place in Chicago. They offer many types of fish smoked, big selection of fish, even Bar Harbor brand chowders. Don’t look any further, come shop local in this family owned place. Thank you 🌲
We drove down from Milwaukee so dad could get clam strips for his birthday :) All the food we ordered was phenomenal at this no-frills joint. Some tables out front that wprked just great, loads of drinks in a cooler, and a huge variety of seafood and fish. The chicken is good too :)
Went and got a pound of jump fried shrimp and a pound of fresh not cooked cod for dinner all delish
Finally visited Hagen's, and I can say there's a reason they've been in business so long! I ordered the fried fish sandwich, "lightly fried to show off the fish," as a regular in line suggested. The staff was very friendly, and I was able to choose my type of fish from the case. All the fish are labelled with origin, and farm or wild caught, so I chose a local walleye. The sandwich was simple, but perfectly cooked, and tasted as good as it looked! There are tables out front so you can enjoy your food while it's hot.
A little pricey but well worth it. This was honestly some of the best seafood I've had in my life , the seafood salad was full of crab / shrimp meat and seasoned to perfection with a hint of smoke flavor. The sandwich was extremely fresh tasting and the tarter sauce was perfect, I'll definitely be back.
A long-standing gem in the city, has amazing smoked fish, and any fried fish option. I love the spicy popcorn shrimp, and often buy it by the pounds for myself and friends. Great service and a local business.
NEIGHBORHOOD SEAFOOD FIND…YUM!!! Decades long, family-owned Hagen’s is good eating. I was impressed by the variety of seafood, fresh & frozen, available. Beware, the fish smell is every present. One drawback, but hey, it’s seafood. Prepared to order, which is nice! The food was great! I will be returning for a fried shrimp 🍤 dinner when needed! Everything is served a la carte. No dinner combos here.
Hands down the best fish in all of Chicago. Any of their smoked salmons are amazing. They also have the best fish sandwich fresh off the fryer. All the employees are very nice and always offer great recommendations
Great spot for fresh and smoked seafood. I highly recommend the freshly fried seafood as well. And the staff is very nice.
I discovered this absolute gem of a spot by happenstance due to occasionally working in the area. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They have a large variety of sauces, canned goods, crackers, etc. (basically whatever you could possibly want to go with a seafood meal). Behind the counter, they also have an amazing variety of fresh seafood, in-house smoked fish, and salads.
But the star of the show, for me, is their takeout menu. I've had the shrimp po boy, the crab cake, and fried clam strips - all of which were excellent. The prices are great too. The last time I was there, I was craving calamari but also wanted a sandwich. I asked if they could substitute calamari for the shrimp in the po boy. The lady behind the counter was super nice and accommodating, as they always are there. Best seafood sandwich of any kind that I've ever had in my life!
10/10 would reccomend to anyone. We need to preserve these small neighborhood spots at all costs before there's nothing left but Jewel, Marianos, and Whole Foods on every corner. Great food, great service, great people.
