Got really sick eating the lobsters. Meat smelled spoiled.

He can definitely be called an unscrupulous seafood merchant! It's easy to make a difference with a good thing. This is my experience every time I visit. When you find that you have a problem and ask a question, you will get the boss's slick excuse, and the casher's answer is that you are mentally retarded. I will tolerate you. . The most outrageous time: Not only was the box of air-freighted shrimps that I ordered not delivered in the original box, but they also pretended to be stupid and forgot to bring me a batch of nearly dead shrimps from the tank and the price was 15% higher than the reserved price. I understand the seafood business model very well. It’s a rule of thumb, but it can’t be so outrageous! The fresh shrimps that were originally used to entertain relatives and friends have turned into garbage and their meat quality has been greatly reduced! Strictly speaking, I ordered the shrimps. You opened the boxes and sold them in order to make money. I will never patronize such an untrustworthy merchant again!

Ordered several kinds of seafood from the Instagram and requested the same day delivery, everything went smoothly, seafood is so fresh and alive when I got them! Amazing experience! Definitely would come back again!

Was looking for a lobster for Thanksgiving dinner. Once in the store, we were surrounded by all the different tanks full or live lobsters - I had no idea what I was supposed to do first. What size should I buy for two? What is the best one for simple steaming? Where is what I am looking for? What is the difference among these different tanks? A gentleman who was working here caught me and answered all these questions, and located a perfect size, super lively lobster suitable for steaming! He was knowledgeable about different cooking options, and as soon as he knows we are Japanese, he showed me different sashimi grade seafood and handling tips. We bought - A live lobster (1.5lb) about $30 - 6 sashimi grade shrimps $ less than 10 He was so kind to make sure all the shrimps are the same size. Sashimi was beautiful, fresh and naturally sweet, melt on the tongue. I deep-fried the shrimp head and tail as the gentleman suggested - crispy, thin! And lobster was full of meat, juicy and perfect size for two of us. Full! Yum!! Cant wait to go back again!!!!

Great price. Sometimes they don't have variety of fish. I would recommend it for salmon and lobster.

I bought some spot shrimp from that place, the woman always pick up the died shrimp and trying to put them into the bag if you don't check carefully. Horrible experience.

I've been to this market over two years for their spot prawns which were always quick, easy and efficient. But it's like over time, their service and efficiency is out the window. I've had minor issues in the past - placed order & paid with pick up time but still having to wait over an hour during busy time or missing items.Today after receiving a new price list, I placed an order and went on my way to pick up. Just to be told that 6 of the different items I asked for are sold out. This price list was give to me yesterday and was for yesterday. No one at the front to help and when I received help, they didn't even know what I was asking for on the price list. Just so so so disappointing.

4.5 stars Came here yesterday to see what to bring over my parents house for bbq. My mom already got steak, lobsters and crab, but I was really craving for some oysters. Got there and it wasn't busy, but a lady asked me what I was looking for and I saw the oysters. They had small, medium and large sizes. I opted for the medium size and got myself 3 dozen. Each dozen of the medium size were about $34 I believe. So I paid a total of $102 which I thought were a steal. The lady at the cash told me it would be ready within 15 minutes, since they do half shucking (they will crack open the oyster shell for you, but you still need to remove the shell fully and still need to separate the flesh from the shell as well). Got to my mommas house and started to fully remove the shells right away. Took me about 20 mins to remove all 3 dozen oysters (not too shabby, if I say so myself)! Grilled some oysters with some garlic and scallion oil mixture and added a touch of butter at the end. My goodness were they delicious! My family enjoyed the oysters so much, I think I may have to grab some oysters every time there is a bbq.

I was there first time as i am a junior seafood man ; the man who working the store was very helpful for my boxing Mighty Lobsters on board flight. Without his ambitiously advises, I would not make it my self^^ Thank you for the helpeness!

I absolutely love this seafood mart. We only get our seafood from here. Everything is super fresh and fairly priced. You can purchase oysters and they will shuck them for you. You can buy sashimi grade fish or geoduck and they will sashimi it for you (I think there is a surcharge of $2 for the sashimi). During the season they have live spot prawns (image attached) they are super sweet and delicious. If you hotpot and looking for oyster meat they usually have it. Their clams and mussels are the best, tasty and meaty. Definitely worth checking out!

Nice fresh choice of seafood at competitive prices. A bit of a drive for me but that's to be expected in a city the size of Toronto.

Bought two dungeness crabs with four legs missing. The clerk hastily picked the crabs and put them in the bag. The crabs had black spots and smelled foul during and after cooking.

Great seafood store with lots of fresh selections of all things seafood. I picked up some salmon here and it was fresh and well prepared. Prices are competitive, service is efficient. Cash or debit only.

Fish was great, the store has a good selection, and they included the salmon skin and bones in a separate package.
