    A real traditional fresh seafood market and whose owner Michael is a real true gentleman and expert. Very friendly and most importantly his seafood choices are fresh and high quality. Unlike a bad experience at a local bakery in Summit on Wednesday before Thanksgiving , Michael offered best in quality and consumer experience. My consumer faith has again been restored by Michael. We purchased the local sea scallops and also added wild shrimp which we made with a fantastic spaghetti white wine EVOO garlic and butter sauce. This fresh seafood market is the real deal and well worth the over 20 minute drive. We plan and returning and I strongly recommend that everyone else do the same. Definitely a Christmas Eve shopping preferred shop! Thank you Michael we appreciate your empathy and kindness! God Bless you!

    Michael is the best ! Such a great personality this guy has . It all started with a simple conversation over the phone . He picked saying Dave ( called from my husband's phone ) what can I do for u buddy but then realized it was a female on the phone . It was so funny from there. I arrived and said I'm Dave and we just rolled with it . He's awesome. We picked up 2 dozen medium crabs and they for sure not disappoint. He made fine selection and we even tried some before we left to Make sure we were good with them . I called that A+ customer service . Now we all know crabs aren't in season all year but they have plenty of other options from different fishes , oysters , clams ,mussels and shrimps . So if you are looking for some fresh seafood come see Michael and he will take care of you . Thanks Mike for a great experience I will be back !

    This was my first visit to this seafood market and it was well worth it, I called to check to see what size the crabs were and the cost. The gentleman that I spoke with was very helpful and provided the answer to my questions. I arrived shortly after they opened and I was very impressed with the vibe and the fact it didn't smell like a fish market which means that the seafood is fresh. I purchased a couple dozen crabs at a fair price and they were wonderful and heavy just like the fish monger mentioned. I will return and certainly recommend this market to my friends and family.

    "Where everyone knows your name!" Isn't that where we all want to be, that place where everyone knows your name? Well since Sammy shut done Cheers, let me tell you that place is now Archar Seafood. I've never though of the seafood market as a place where you'd have a few laughs, get some really great service, get to meet a few new friends, and get a few compliments along the way. I mean, this is a seafood market after all! First let's get the facts out of the way. The seafood is frreeeeesh! I had some oysters shucked for my drive home and dammit, that made me happy. These oysters were so crisp, just the right amount of salinity, nicely shucked and did I mention fresh? I also got a thick cut of fresh tuna that I simply peppered and seared that was OUTSTANDING! Mike the owner also gave me some complimentary fresh shrimp that was just delicious broiled with butter and scallions. Mike, if you are reading this, I snapped a picture for you before I ate them to let you know I did you proud with your generosity! This was my first visit and that being the case I took a few extra minutes to survey the offerings. While doing so, there was no shortage of customers, voicing for their offerings and providing great insights. For me, that definitely speaks volumes about how a business is run if random customers will vouch for and speak up for a merchant like so. BTW, I got the hint, next time, definitely getting some crabs! Now having said that, I saw firsthand why other customers were so quick to vouch for Mike and Frank. I've never shook hands with my seafood guy more in less time. This guy Mike is like my new best friend. I've never had so much fun buying seafood before between the playful banter/jokes/stories with random folks and the complimentary nature of Mike. Everyone that walks in is on a first name basis with Mike it seems! If I lived closer, I'd be here every week but I'll definitely be back again! Mike, if you are reading this, you sir are the classy gentleman. Stay fresh in Somerset!

    Archar is our 40 yr local seafood store. It's easily located from surrounding towns Piscataway, New Brunswick, Franklin, Somerville to name of a few. The friendly servers always pleased to see you even if it's your first time. They have a variety of seafood readily available with great market pricing. I ordered crab legs, cod, Salmon, scallops, and clams. I couldn't wait to get home. You can't beat freshness!! My family and I enjoyed every delicious bite. Can't wait to go back!

    This was so good! Nice and meaty male number one.

The issue is that the sandwiches sound delicious on the menu but the reality doesn't live up to my expectations. My husband order some spicy Mexican inspired fried catfish sandwich for himself and a fried scallop sandwich for me. The sandwiches presented well but both lacked flavor, salt & seasoning in general. Even the soups; one was supposed to be red lentils but looked mostly yellow lentil and again desperately needed salt for one and would have been improved with additional seasonings. Whoever made the manhattan clam chowder got the recipe correct. It was the only thing that was tasty without needing alteration. The owner is nice and after my first poor review offered to make me a replacement but I didn't take him up on the offer. If they only get it right while someone is watching over their shoulder, what's the point. It is NOT a cheap lunch so to be disappointed is a real bummer. Better to stick with the raw seafood items or some prepackaged items (hummus & great flatbreads).

Best part was finding the premium meats. A5 Wagyu, pichana steaks, sweetbreads, elk and bison meat just to name a few things. They also sell marinades, condiments, frozen fruit and vegetables. Beverages and salad toppings too. It's literally your local grocery store but better! This is the spot to grab proteins you need ahead of time for that BBQ you're planning or that family feast you will host. The variety is really the draw here. I saw lobster tails, scallops by the pound and coolest part, pre-made frozen goods for those that just want to thaw and reheat. That is great for when you didn't plan your meals ahead. I highly recommend this market for finding the unique, the premium, or for your everyday groceries. The model is simple: flash frozen, freshly sealed, and shipped or in this case, delivered to your local store. They own farms themselves, have huge bunkers and they work with the locals to source the goods.
