Gimli Fish Market — Restaurant in Winnipeg

Stopped in at the Gimli Fish on Pembina Hwy, for the first time to pick up some smoked goldeye for Father's Day. I noticed that there were only a couple smoked goldeye left, I asked if they had anymore and was told they wouldn't get anymore until Monday. I said I would take the rest of what they had left. As I walked around waiting for the store clerk to wrap the goldeye up I over heard a couple other guys talking about getting smoked goldeye? Another clerk had mistakenly informed them that they still had smoked goldeye, which I was told they didn't??? With no correction from the store clerk that was helping me, the other clerk started filling they're order, not knowing that I was paying attention to all of this. . . I had confirmed the quantity they had left when I said I would take the rest of what they had. When I was going to pay I was told that there wasn't as many as I ordered originally and all of a sudden they had more that they sold to the other 2 guys that were looking for smoked goldeye too? Personally in my opinion that was extremely rude of the clerk to cut my order short due to a co-worker not confirming stock on what they actually had. I usually shop at the Dufferin store, and will probably continue doing that as the service at the Pembina Hwy location has some...

Basically it's "Buyer be ware". Once they have your money, you are not getting it back. As many have said Gimli Fish Market has a good variety of product if a little pricey. I went there to purchase some large shrimp (prawns) and got some on sale. When I got home I opened the bag only to find that it had a strong 'fishy' smell. Thinking that it was because they were fresh water shrimp I decided to cook some anyway hoping they'd lose the smell in the process. They didn't. And , on top of that , they had a mushy consistency to them. They were pretty much inedible. I went back to GFM to return the shrimp and was told that they don't allow returns, only in store credit and that the shrimp "smelt fine" to the lady I was dealing with. No where in the establishment is it indicated that refunds are not allowed and no where on the receipt is this indicated. So I was forced to pick something of equal value instead of getting a refund. I ended up getting Pickerel for $15/lb which is on the high side. I hope they...

Good fish, yeah, excellent fish, love the fish. But here’s the problem every single time I catch a whiff of it, I’m not just smelling dinner, I’m smelling Claire. Claire! Since 2009 this woman has been carrying around the exact same scent. And I gotta ask why? Why does she smell like fish? What’s the routine here? Is she showering in chum? Is she storing tilapia in her purse? Is she rubbing salmon on her wrists like it’s perfume? I don’t know, buddy, I don’t know! Nobody knows! You walk by her and it’s like, boom, Red Lobster lobby, table for none because I’m out the door! And then I’m sitting there with this beautiful piece of halibut in front of me and all I can think is, “Claire. Claire’s here. Claire beat the halibut to the punch.” It’s confusing, it’s upsetting, but it’s also… kind of impressive. I mean, consistency since ’09? That’s dedication. Disturbing dedication, but dedication...
