Can't possibly recommend this place enough! 😍 I am actually a little embarrassed it took me this long to find The Seafood Shop when 1.) I LOVE sashimi & 2.) I already knew about LA Seafood Direct.
After many months of denying myself sashimi because the salmon prices at my usual stores are now out of my comfort zone (not to mention the tuna was always a coin toss as far as freshness goes), I actually stumbled upon this shop when trying to find the hours for LA Seafood Direct - that's when I saw a photo of a sign on their door advertising their "new retail shop." I was so excited to go, I ended up stopping in just hours after I saw that haha.
Prices are astonishing low for how high the quality is. The sashimi grade wild salmon is only like $17.99 a lb, & it is so incredibly fresh & delicious you almost can't believe it. The tuna at $25 a lb is also a steal when you take quality into consideration. Some other places miiiight have marginally cheaper tuna, but I promise you it won't be anywhere near as satisfying or tasty as what you can get here!
Besides other fresh & frozen seafood, they also carry a nice selection of Smoking Goose products, some cheeses, caviar, & condiments. There's also some prepared foods & ready to eat sashimi. Service is always extremely friendly & knowledgeable.
I love this place so much & am always looking forward to my next visit! Go support these guys! ❤️
Update: still love this place... if you love yourself, you need to try the smoked salmon pate....
Read moreGreat little shop!! I don't live close, was in the neighborhood, and have been wanting to stop in the Seafood Shop after hearing great things. I came close to closing time, we're talking about 10 minutes before. Regardless with being practically done with their day, I walk in and was delightfully greeted by "C" (we'll call him, bc I can't quite remember). He was very welcoming, showed me around the shop and mentioned they make lobster rolls. I said I'll take one! C explained the roll and I asked if it was possible to make it with no mayo - I'm more of a Connecticut Style girl and their lobster rolls come Maine Style (a little mayo, celery & chives). C wasn't familiar but was so sweet to make sure he prepared exactly the way I wanted it and together we made it happen! Even though I was the last person, he didn't hang his apron-- he gave a full experience, accommodated me, and educated me about their offerings and their handroll night. The lobster roll is actually an order for two rolls and a side of chips and came out to be $35. Everything in the shop is well curated. I'll definitely return way before closing time so I can properly shop and pick up some great items. The owners are also Filipino so bonus points as I love to support all our...
Read moreI think I went here too many times in one week. Tried their yellowtail poke salad and it was the freshest yellowtail i had for poke. I also got clams and the person helped me made sure I didn’t have dead clams and gave me open bag and Ice to go (making sure the clams didn’t die during 7 min transit). The clams were delicious same as the octopus and calamari they sell. I also tried their Unagi. Although it says on their menu listing its $17/lb, the price went up to 16.95/ 8oz. Which to me is the same as 99 Ranch prices. Unagi tasted good though. What I really love at this place is their Sushi grade Salmon and Tuna. The cut in Salmon is great because its top to bottom where you get the lean and the fatty part of the salmon. It has great marbling and just melts in your mouth. Same with their Tuna. Super fresh tasting. Seaweed salad is seasoned well. Will definitely try their Oysters next time. I guess i’m just gonna go down the list and try all their seafood since its such a great price...
