About Us:
Anchored in Tradition

STANDARD OF
EXCELLENCE

Established in 1976 by Fred Meisner Sr., Off Shore Pier rapidly became renowned for freshness, introducing the flavors of East Coast seafood to the Capital District. Drawing on his expertise in the butcher industry and his love for fishing, Fred brought the community the finest seafood offerings.

His steadfast commitment not only curated a wide selection of premium offerings but also cultivated lasting connections with our cherished customers.

FROM OUR FISH MARKET
TO YOUR TABLE​

Expanding our horizons in 1979, Off Shore Pier incorporated a cozy restaurant, staying true to the authentic Fish Fry ambiance. David and Nancy, Fred's children, joined the endeavor, upholding their father's commitment to quality and service.

Today, four decades later, they carry on Fred's legacy, serving loyal patrons with the same beloved menu items that define Off Shore's enduring charm.

OUR CUSTOMERS DESERVE THE BEST

As a locally owned and family-run establishment, Off Shore Pier prioritizes getting to know patrons' preferences. The intimate, authentic atmosphere ensures each visit is special, reflecting the personalized touch of a family business.

The Meisner family and The Pier team express gratitude to their extended family of customers, hoping that with each visit, patrons feel as if "the only thing missing is the ocean!"
