Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are your store hours?

    We’re open daily, with slightly shorter hours on Sundays and Mondays. Check the hours listed above for the most up-to-date times.

  • Do I need to order ahead, or can I walk in?

    You’re welcome to walk in during store hours and shop from the case. Many customers also pre-order to be sure they get exactly what they want, especially around weekends and holidays.

  • How do I place an order for pickup?

    You can place an order online through our ordering form and choose either in-person pickup or shipping where available. If you have special requests or questions about your order, give us a call during business hours.

  • How far in advance should I order for holidays or large gatherings?

    For busy times and larger orders, we recommend placing your order several days in advance so we can reserve product and prep it the way you like.

  • Do you sell cooked or prepared meals?

    We’re primarily a fresh seafood market. While we may carry some ready-to-use items and simple accompaniments, our focus is on raw, high-quality fish and shellfish for you to cook at home.

  • Do you clean and fillet the fish for me?

    Yes. Our crew can scale, gut, and fillet most fish and will do their best to prep it to match your recipe or cooking plans.

  • Where does your seafood come from?

    We buy from a mix of local boats and trusted producers, focusing on quality and careful handling so what you take home is in peak condition.

  • Can you help me choose what to buy and different ways to cook it?

    Absolutely. Ask at the counter and we’ll help you pick the right fish, offer simple cooking ideas, and suggest alternatives if something isn’t available.
