Palmers DTY Market is the best place in town to buy meat and seafood. For your meat needs, you can find pork, lamb, veal, chicken, and Angus beef(multiple cuts and burger meat). Seafood offerings include fresh fish filets (selection varies based on availability but salmon, tuna, monkfish, seabass, cod, halibut and orange roughly are commonly available) shrimp, oysters, clams, mussels, crab (snow and king) and lobster. They have a frozen section with lots of items including langostinos, crawdads, bones for making stock, shrimp, frozen filets of fish, ect.
They will also offer speciality items around holidays... For example corned beef around St Patrick's day. They also occasionally stock dry aged delmonicos and strip steaks (which are delicious!)
There's a large selection of various brands/flavors of BBQ and wing sauces, marinades, select seasoning mixes like Montreal steak, olive oil, vinegars and specialty salts.
They also have a large cooler of various cheeses and typically have desserts available from cheesy Eddie's. The prices can not be beat, I can get just over a pound of chicken breast for $5. They also have a rewards program that is actually worth using-usually every third trip we get $15 off. Employees are friendly and knowledgeable, so if you have questions on preparation or need recipes they are happy to offer suggestions.
Check it out the next time you need to stock the freezer!
New since late 2021: they have expanded their BBQ /marinade sauce and seasoning section. They have tons of brands from dinosaur to some smaller specialty labels. There are also a few coolers near the back that have special premade daily offerings-things like taco dip, lasagna, mashed potatoes, ect. They have also added more cheeses-excellent aged parmesan, Asiago, Romano, ect. I like the buy them and shred them at home to save on buying it...
Read moreGood food, I guess. But all prepared foods and even lobster tails do not follow their directions they're just wrong. If you follow the prepared foods directions on the package the center will be cold you need to add 10 to 15 minutes and 25° to 50 degrees which is double the time. They pass out a brochure that tells you how to cook lobster tails they say 1 minute per ounce at 450°, if you try that you will ruin your dinner if you go on Google they will double the time to 12 to 15 minutes by then it's too late you can't keep taking Lobster in and out of the oven and testing it and eating it and poking it around. It's a dead, bottom feeder disgusting animal you're going to get turned off if you don't get it right the first time. This is not just a "casual thing" where you just give wrong cooking directions when you're a store selling food. And no nothing's wrong with my oven I've cooked 50 to 100 dinners in between the Palmer's foods and everything comes out fine. These are dead animals they need to get the directions right this is not a "casual thing". I can't tell you why other people are not writing in that's not up to me to figure out, it's not my job. They're obviously more passive. then again I'm not in the food business it's not my job to know. It's there job to know. Stop giving directions if you don't know what...
Read moreVery disappointed. When it comes to food my husband & I are not fussy. We found Palmer's to be extremely overpriced with mediocre food. We specifically went there for a fish fry. For starters they only serve a breaded fish fry. We prefer beer battered. The fish fry we got was $12.99. It was Ok but not worth &12.99. The Coleslaw that came with the meal tasted nothing like the Coleslaw we've had before. It was terrible. It also contained wilted lettuce. It was not the usual "sweet" tasting coleslaw you get with other fish fries. We also ordered a bowl of Lobster Bisque & Seafood Chowder. For $7.99 a bowl you would think there would be some decent chunks of lobster or clams. The Lobster bisque appeared to have "pureed" lobster in it. You could have drank it through a straw. It also tasted sour - on the verge of being spoiled. Being a seafood place, you would think they would splurge a little bit on ingredients & make it worth the money. Service was friendly & the place was clean, but hardly worth the price we paid ($48.00) for a lunch. Brought the "barely" touched soup home. Even the kids thought it sucked... We will not be...
