Customer Reviews
Nice place. Seen sign on highway for a couple of years. Went in and got Cod. Thought since says wholesale to public I was getting wholesale pricing. Not so much so as $20/lb there and Stew Leonards retail price was $17/lb for cod same day. That being said nice place and staff was nice and fish gotten was also nice. I love to support Local Businesses when ever I can.
I had been meaning to check these guys out and heard lobster rolls were available Saturday. I couldn't resist and I glad I didn't! The staff over there were very helpful and friendly. Not only did I walk out with 2 lobster rolls but also a 1lb. fillet of swordfish. Needless to say the lobster rolls were hearty and delicious! I will be back real soon. Thank you!
Checked the website and planned my menu. Let everyone know what we would be having. When I got there to pick it up it was double the price I was expecting. When you’re scrolling through the website, there is a picture and under the picture is a price. There is a price so you expect it to be by the pound but it’s not it’s for the half a pound. I was told to click on the picture and go into it further and there it showed you what it was per pound. Why would anybody click into further it if there’s a price right there as your scrolling.
The store front has nice nautical décor and, upon entering, the smell of fresh seafood is pertinent; it takes you to the coast and you can feel the warmth of the attendants who are ready to take your order. The display cases are clean and large, so you can see all the offerings, and there are also several refrigerated and frozen options such as eel and even dog food available in the coolers. There is a large board that has clearly labeled seafood options and pricing, and everything is promptly executed. They even have options of sauces and fresh lemons. They take care to make sure everything is clean and organized. There is ample parking and it is easy to spot while driving down the road.
My husband placed a $400 order with them for lobster and clams for a picnic with friends. The order was supposed to be delivered between 1-4pm. It’s now almost 9pm and it has not been delivered. We can’t get a hold of the company and they are closed tomorrow. When my husband called after 4 they said don’t worry about it, it’s in the truck for delivery. They brushed him off. I now have a bunch of people coming to my house tomorrow for seafood that I don’t have. We ordered from them last year and the order was late (only a hour) but they said the driver got lost and the food was good so we decided to give them another chance. Never again! I’m in a panic with what to do and feel like they just took our money. Don’t order here!
