History of Hienie McCarthy's



Henry McCarthy called “HIENIE” by his family born in 1905 in Chicago lived on the south side of Chicago

In 1947 Henry borrowed $500 from his brother in law to open up a fresh fish store in Hammond Indiana on 726 State Street. They started calling it Hienie’s Shrimp House. After that business was successful, he had all four of his sons working. About a year later h

e moved the business to 9134 Mackinaw in Chicago only blocks away form US Steel Mills. Hienie, Eddie and Bob operated the store till 4:00am in those days, and in 1965 they built a new store at 9101 Mackinaw. Being harassed for protection money son Bob opened up a store on 8450 Commercial, Chicago. In 1983 Bob opened up a Hienie’s on 10359 S Torrence. Hienie’s on Torrence and Hienie’s McCarthy’s in Orland are still doing well today. Still a family business for over 73 years and 3 generations.

It’s time for this old guy to retire and pass Hienies on to the 4th generation. We (Denise and I) have owned Hienies for over 20 years and have been blessed with so many great employees and customers, we would like to thank you all. My nephew Dean will be carrying on the tradition as of April 4th. He has been working for us 10+ years and we’re sure he can continue uphold the name. We’re in our 75th year and and still use the same recipes and quality ingredients and we’re sure he will too.

Thank you all,
Larry Dal Santo
