Ridgewood Nj, Just got word that FISH in Ridgewood has closed . Fish was located at 54 East Ridgewood Avenue.
Patrons of seafood restaurant have been greeted by a sign in the window that they will be spending the summer upgrading their catering venues.
Their Facebook page has gone missing and phone number is no longer working. The Fish in Asbury Park closed back in October and at that time rumors were denied by Fishes management of an imminent closing.
Patrons were general lukewarm to the venue not bad but not great and as previously reported on this blog the restaurant was surrounded by controversy from the very start.

Ridgewood NJ, Chef and co-owner Christine Nunn has shuttered her Ridgewood restaurant after nearly two years to focus on catering full-time.
The writer of the “The Preppy Cookbook” told the Bergen Record she wanted to focus on catering and more writing. The original Picnic closed in Fair Lawn also after 2/1/2 years of operation.
Nunn said she will run her catering operation out of the kitchen of Picnic on the Square located at 26 Wilsey Square until her lease expires.
While the business is winding down we are not sure of the fate of the cooking classes held at Picnic.
HUDSON STREET LOT CLOSED FOR TESTING – SUNDAY, JUNE 7TH
To learn more about the ground conditions at the Hudson Street Lot the Village will be doing some testing. This is in preparation for the potential construction of a new parking facility. The testing will take place this Sunday, June 7th.
A consultant working for the Village will be performing ground penetrating radar (gpr) survey of the Hudson Street parking lot. To do this survey the lot needs to be free of cars to be effective.
The Hudson Street Lot will be closed at midnight Saturday, June 6 with several barricades to deny access. The lot will be reopened at 2:00 pm on Sunday, June 7. No cars will be permitted to park in the lot during that time period. Vehicle access to the rear of the properties on East Ridgewood Avenue through the lot will be maintained. Emergency access through the lot will be maintained.
The gpr equipment is small, makes no noise and does not take up much room.
Please share this information on the short term closing of this lot with friends and neighbors.
