It's not a easy place to find but it does have good quality seafood to buy~ I like to come here also for their fresh chicken ! It is super yummy ! read more

Good place for seafood lovers, all kinds of goods from all around the world, a bit expensive but you'll feel it's worth!

Fabulous seafood distributor with amazing prices (follow their posts on social media!) During crab season last year they had some of the freshest, cheapest crab prices around. They consistently bring in high quality uni and other shellfish critters. Service is relatively fast if you go early and they're found at the Burlingame Farmer's market too! read more

Truly the best seafood plug in the bay! They have extremely fresh and high quality seafood as well as Asian fruits and vegetables. They also have the best prices. Must get's: - Dungeness crab ($3.99/lb during crab season !!) - Maine lobster (also great price) - Manila clams - Hokkaido uni - Lychee (one of the best lychees I've ever had, they're so sweet) I would highly recommend going to ocean empire for the best quality & priced seafood! read more

Such awesome service and such a wide variety of seafood! O R D E R E D - Hawaiian Longan - Australian Lychee - Santa Barbara Uni V E R D I C T I love exotic fruits and I'm so excited Eric has the best in stock! He always updates his customers of his latest inventory via wechat, instagram and his website - then you can go directly to his website to order and then pick up in in person. His South SF shop isn't hard to find, you just need to look out for the big seafood flag outside of his shop then park alongside it. I've seen so many of his customers post the dishes they make form his seafood, I can't wait to buy some next time and make dishes of my own as well. He's also at the Millbrae and Burlingame Farmers Market on the weekend. read more

Deep Catch Seafood - Seafood Markets Near Me - South San Francisco, California

I stumbled upon Ocean Empire through an Instagram ad and for once, I'm so glad to have been targeted! I've only gotten their sushi grade salmon and beef bones here and I am OBSESSED with the salmon. It melts in your mouth! I make poke with it and it's so hard for me to not eat it all up while cutting it. I also used the beef bones to make pho broth and it turned out delish! It's a fraction of the price you see at Ranch 99. If I have other seafood needs, I'm definitely checking with Ocean Empire first. My first pickup was on Thursday and it was a very awkward pickup. Being my first time there, I wasn't sure how the pickups were supposed to work (and I still don't). The guy there must not have been in the talking mood because he didn't walk me through it either. There was a lot of "um ok, so what do I do?" muttered from me. Nevertheless, I got the goods and will endure as many awkward moments as needed, as long as I can keep getting this salmon! read more

So I swung by today after seeing this ad a few days back. Super excited. Well let me just tell you they don't honor the price advertised. I was told since I didn't pre-order and walked in. ( this ad doesn't say anything about this) I would be charged $7 a pound and not the $6. Pretty lame, I asked for explanation why and after getting the lamest excuse of the truck being late and they were having problems filling the pre-orders and I didn't place the order ahead of time and I walked in. If I didn't just drive all the way from San Francisco and would have walked out. Some advice to Ocean Empire, change your ad you're lame. Put a disclaimer on there "prices change daily to suit our needs". Really hoping the seafood is good, because your business model isn't read more

Please check your crab before you leave,, they will give you a dead one and starting to smell BAD!!! And of course they will also give you missing legs. read more

Freshest, sweetest clams I've ever had! And I do not say that lightly, bc I am a HUGE snob. Check my profile, I give very few 5 star reviews, but this place deserves it. I like to tell people how to best enjoy a place, so I'll start with DO NOT EXPECT A GROCERY STORE. This is essentially a distribution business. There is almost no signage (I passed it twice and had to check the address). You walk in, and there is a table with some produce on it and a guy behind a desk. What you see on the website is most of what they have, and next time I'll probably shop that way. But today I just walked in. I bought about $70 worth of stuff: shiitake ($5/lb), bok choy, lychee, oysters, Manila clams ($6/lb), hot pot meat... So far I've only eaten the clams and I literally put my dish down mid meal to write this. read more

I drive out to Foster City every Thursday just to pick up some super tasty sashimi grade salmon! Such amazing quality (and great price) that I feel a bit bad mangling it with my non-existent knife skills. I've used it to make sushi, sushi rolls, and also been caught eating it as I cut right from the fillet -- it's that good. The sellers are also lovely people who sometimes give complimentary beef bones or have meaty salmon bones for sale, great for soups/stock! read more

Deep Catch Seafood - Messy homemade salmon/avocado rolls -- looks doesn't do justice to the sashimi grade salmon from Ocean Empire, but sooo delicious. - Seafood Markets Near Me - South San Francisco, California

This review is so overdue. This is one of the best places to get really fresh seafood in the Bay. The Dungeness crab was sweet, plump and delectable and they let us know it was local. Mussels and clams were also great. Their uni was also delicious and tasted very fresh. They also have a fresh selection of prized Asian fruits and veggies on rotation. Their lychee was very firm and delicious (highly approved by me and my parents and is totally comparable to the lychee we used to get fresh in the homeland) and their pea shoots were nice and tender for stir fries (compared to the stringy ones you can rarely get locally or from 99 ranch). You can also message them on ig if you want to know if they have anything in stock since their stock changes pretty frequently. If you are looking for good seafood, this is definitely the place to check out and it's great to support a local small business! We will definitely be back! read more

Saw the $5/lb Dungeness crab advertised. Got 3 crabs for $28! The crabs were a bit on the smaller side but still delicious. Great for a crab feast! The head/brains were inedible but we found that with other live crabs we've purchased recently are in similar condition so must be the time of year. These were excellent and we'd get them again! read more

Ocean Empire is the best place to get fresh and live seafood in the Bay. I highly recommend them to all my friends and family

I ordered from Ocean Empire for the first time about two months ago during the pandemic. And, I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted their Uni and their sushi grade salmon. If you get a chance to order from them, don't hesitate to do so. Their seafood is really fresh and reasonably priced. I hope they continue selling seafood wholesale once the pandemic ends. read more

Eric is very knowledgeable about his seafood and was able to answer all my questions. He recommended the Kusshi oysters for Father's Day. Everyone in my family loved the oysters. They were very sweet and fresh. We also got it for a great price. I highly recommend to everyone. I'll definitely order more seafood to try in the future!!! read more

Affordable and FRESH salmon sashimi?? Say less!! It was so easy to order and pick up. Service was great!! Eric, the owner was so kind. He had shared with me different ways to prep the salmon since it was my first time. I ended up having the salmon sashimi with rice and seaweed at home and it tasted delicious!! My craving satisfied. I highly recommend. I can't wait to go back and try other seafood on the menu! read more

I recently made a purchase at Ocean Empire and I was really satisfied with how fresh all the seafood were. I am a fisherman myself and I expect high-quality and freshness from my seafood. Ocean Empire offers just that. The sashimi grade salmon literally melts in your mouth. The Dungeness crabs were crawling and the live oysters were the best I have eaten. For the quality that you get, the prices were very decent. The staff was also very kind. I would highly recommend giving Ocean Empire a try if you are looking for high-quality seafood. read more

My favorite way to buy fish! I visit almost every Thursday at their open air stand at Edgewater and love the sushi grade salmon for our weekly Friday rolling sushi at home parties. These guys offer a grand variety of fresh and frozen seafood, and it is always fresh. Just stay away from the oysters - I want them all for myself ;-) Dee from Foster City Moms read more

Found this new seafood gem in San Mateo area. Love how fresh the seafood is. Didn't get even one bad clam from my purchase. I can taste the sweetness and sea flavor for my steamed seafood. When I get seafood from other places, there's always bad ones, torturing my tastebuds, but haven't happened from Ocean Empire. Will come back again. read more

Love this place for fresh seafood. I have only tried their sashimi grade salmon and it is SO fresh and delicious. They are located at the Edgewater Place Center on Thursday's and at the Foster City Farmer's Market on Saturdays--plenty of parking. I got there at around 12:20 and waited about 5 minutes to order on Thursday as there were a few customers ahead of me. Highly recommend! Eric and the rest of the crew are very helpful. Just wish they were open more days and had longer hours--hopefully they will be able to once the business expands! read more

important to know how to find the best fish markets. this market is easy to locate. address dumped into gps makes it easily findable. I was lost only for a few moments and then located the market. good fish selections. read more

Amazingly fresh seafood at a very reasonable price. The sashimi grade salmon is so buttery and smooth . We usually have it as sashimi the same day and save the rest the next day for BBQ. They are at the Edgewater shopping center on Thursdays and at the Farmers Market on Saturdays in Foster City. read more

The team members are very responsive on Facebook when I have questions and tried to place my first order. I ordered manila clams, salmon ( sashimi grade), crabs, and some razor clams. They all tasted to so fresh and their price are super affordable. read more

Amazing service and amazing food! I highly recommend Ocean Empire! If you're looking for a good place to eat in the Bay, Ocean Empire is the move! read more

WOW! If there was an option to give 6 stars I would. I have gone to a good amount of sushi restaurants in my life, but this has to be some of the freshest sushi that I have tasted in my life. Order the sushi grade sashimi, I ate most of it just by itself, but then I took the rest of the salmon, mixed it with some spicy mayo and made a homemade poke bowl! Make sure to keep your Thursdays and Saturdays free so you do not miss out! read more

We've been visiting Ocean Empire weekly to satisfy our fix - seafood at its freshest and finest, all reasonably priced. I've purchased clams from them 6x now and have not had a bad one yet -i.e., they all open when cooked. I usually get one or two that are bad when I buy from other purveyors. The salmon is delicious served as sashimi and the rock cod perfect when steamed. Other items we've tried and enjoyed are their Dungeness crab, Arctic and white shrimps, small conch and croaker. An added bonus is the excellent service Eric and his team provide. read more

The seafood is very fresh here, and the price is very reasonable. I have been buying seafood from them several times, never disappointed. Another good thing about this place is you don't have to buy large quantities like other places. This is perfect for a small family. read more

Bought 3 times already. High quality beyond expected! Tried clams X3, white shrimp X2, oysters X1, dungeons crab X1 and some frozen products. Very satisfied! read more

I don't normally give many reviews out, however, Ocean Empire accommodated all my needs and more. I would give this market 6/5 stars if I could. They have a wide variety of the freshest seafood I've ever had in the city. After shopping here and experiencing the difference in quality, I haven't gone back to the local grocer. Not to mention the management at the establishment was very animate to help me pick out what seafood I should try. That night I ended up cooking the razor clams they have, and that was some of the best razor clams I've had in a while. Anyways, definitely give them a shot, you won't regret it! read more
