I absolutely love everything about this place!! My boyfriend booked a tour for my birthday (best surprise ever!). Jimmy took us out on the boat, explained everything in so much detail, and just enlightened every square millimeter of my brain. We learned everything from how they grow oysters to how they harvest, clean, and prepare them! When we returned to the storefront we were greeted by Norm, who took us to their neat little museum containing all things oysters! We learned so much about the history of eating, shucking, and farming oysters. The shop in the front has so many cute things I had to contain myself! We left with lots of merch, fresh lobsters, clams, and oysters, and seriously had the best day ever. Thank you, Bloom family! You are all phenomenal and made this birthday the best yet!

If a more delicious oyster exists in our parts, I'm not sure I've found it. Copps Island Oysters, harvested from beds in the Norwalk/Westport Island Chain, are plump, but not overly large, and perfectly balanced: equal parts sweet and briny, not nearly as hard hitting on the saline as many East Coast oysters. Given the excellent flavor and the texture (ranging in my batch from silky to medium chewy), these are oysters that I want to chew and savor rather than slurp down whole. And although I generally love my oysters with a little squirt of lemon, these are good enough to eat without accoutrements. Copps Island Oysters are bottom "planted" (seeded?), rather than grown in cages or floating trays. That rough-and-tumble upbringing makes for a much bumpier shell than their gently floated counterparts, which can make shucking a little bit more a challenge. The medium-deep to deep cups do hold in a lot of that wonderful liquor, but the irregular shells can make it hard to work an oyster knife into the hinge at just the right angle. These weren't as hard to shuck as Mystics and Wellfleets in my experience, but weren't as easy as those nice, smooth Fishers Island Oysters, either. Fifty oysters were a jaw-droppingly well priced $40. Shipping to me (within CT) was a touch north of $23. Sixty-three dollars and change for 50 delicious oysters is a good deal, folks! My one and only negative comment: There were more dry oysters in this batch than in my last shipment of oysters from Fishers Island Oyster Farm. Not sure if that was particular to my batch, attributable to the fact that they were not shipped flat. The dry ones were still ok to eat -- just not as good as their liquor-filled counterparts of course. Overall, though, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again. Copps Island oysters are absolutely luscious!

Nordic Fish has been on my must try list for a while, so when I was recently in the area and found…read moremyself a few businesses over, I knew that I had to stop in and try something. I was immediately impressed by the space. It was extremely inviting, open, high ceilings and bright. The sushi counter is front and center. I immediately approached their case of freshly prepared, and was warmly greeted by one of the hard at work sushi chefs. I picked out one of their "Tokyo plus" sampler packs that included 3 pc each of salmon and tuna nigiri, and a spicy tuna roll for $18.95. Everyone there was beyond friendly and sweet, even as I just bought my sushi pack to go and left. Super impressed by the customer service. As for the sushi itself, it was incredibly fresh tasting and obviously extremely high quality fish. Super buttery. I was wowed for the price as well, which I thought was reasonable to begin with. If I lived closer, I would be here all the time. It was an all around incredible experience. I look forward to trying more from them. Can't overstate how much I loved my first experience with Nordic Fish. A must try.

Fantastic little fish market/restaurant offering fresh seafood, sushi, and prepared meals. I loved…read moretheir fish & chips and lobster rolls! I stopped by for a quick lunch and was impressed with their fast casual hot meals. My group mentioned that the fish & chips were some of the best they've had! The lobster roll was also tasty, and it comes generously sized with plenty of lobster meat and sides of coleslaw and your choice of fries, veggies, chips, or corn. The brioche bun for the roll was also perfectly grilled and buttered up. In fact, we learned that the restaurant gets their buns fresh daily from a nearby bakery. Since we had arrived for an earlier lunch and the bread wasn't ready yet, there was actually a ~20+ min delay in getting our food. Regardless, the food was delicious, and the staff were very apologetic and offered to serve our sides while we waited. If we lived closer or brought a cooler, we'd probably bring fresh seafood back home. Would definitely love to stop by again one day!

Honestly, I've been coming to the Norwalk Stew Leonard's for over 20 years now, and it never gets…read moreold. Pro tip for anyone trying to avoid the absolute chaos of the main lot: pull in using the George Ave entrance and park over there. It's a total game-changer for getting in and out fast. Most people know this place because it was on Ripley's Believe it or Not! back in the day for being the world's largest dairy store, but it's honestly just an institution. Right when you walk in, you see that huge stone tablet with their customer service rules--basically saying the customer is always right, and if they're wrong, re-read rule number one. Supposedly the founder, Stew Sr., put it up after arguing with a lady over some sour eggnog decades ago until his wife checked him. It definitely stuck, because in two decades of shopping here, I have literally never had a bad customer experience. The staff is always so solid. They have everything--a great bakery (the Apple Cider Donuts are legendary), a massive seafood section with fresh lobster rolls daily, a killer meat department where I usually grab lamb steaks, and a seasonal garden center and "Little Farm" with goats and ducks that the kids love. They even have a food truck outside now. But if I'm being completely real? Half the time I roll up here, I am solely there for one thing: the hot bar. They have the absolute best wings around, specifically the Spicy Italian ones. I will literally drive over just to grab a container of those wings for lunch. A few quick heads-up things: download their app before you go because the loyalty program rewards actually add up pretty quick, and definitely remember to bring your own bags. Oh, and grab a soft serve on your way out. Essential Norwalk experience.
