Made salmon Poke with the sushi grade salmon
Giao L.

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!

Dungeness crab
Julia N.

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!

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.

4.6 stars Ocean empire has some really affordable seafood for sale! $3.99/lb crabs!! Wow!! (2-15-23) all the seafood are fresh!

Crab they sell!!
Grimm R.

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.

Messy homemade salmon/avocado rolls -- looks doesn't do justice to the sashimi grade salmon from Ocean Empire, but sooo delicious.
Grace T.

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!

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.

$5/lb crab!

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!

Kusshi Oysters

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!!!

Salmon Sashimi

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!

Sliced sashimi salmon
Wil L.

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.

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

I ordered the longanisa with egg and rice breakfast. I really enjoyed eating the longanisa. It was sweet and the sauce dripped on the rice to give it a sweet flavor. The egg was soft and cooked well. It was a great way to start my day and left satisfied.

This place is consistently a low quality experience as a shopper and a diner. Just some of the…read morethings consistently low that happen here and is what shoppers and diners should expect: 1.) Hot food line service is S-L-O-W. Typically the servers are what look to be seniors in their 60's and older. They don't move quickly and sometimes have a hard time hearing. That wouldn't be so bad were it not for their policy of keeping only TWO SERVERS on at a time with a cashier. The line to order is typically long and this store does nothing to relieve the long wait times. Sometimes, one will stand there for 15 to 20 minutes before they get their meal. Decision making is tough because there are so many discount deals and plans that take place that you don't know exactly what you're getting and for how much. At one point, I ordered a plate lunch that was supposed to discount at 2pm. When that time came, the cashier couldn't apply the discount because the machine or the app the applied the discount wasn't working. We all waited for 15 minutes until the system cleared. A few just bailed after 5 minutes and left their food orders where they were standing in line 2.) The store mislabels items with the WRONG PRICE quite often. Today, I ran into one pricing issue when they tried to charge me double what the price on the sign on the shelf. The cashiers insisted they were correct but when I showed them the self and they saw for themselves what happened, they refused to honor the sale price. I got the runaround to talking to a manger -- it seems they didn't have one or didn't cop to being one and I was ignored. This crap has happened to me before and where I get to the cashier and pricing is wrong. I usually just tell them to take it off if I didn't want to pay the price and do without it. Today, I had enough and wanted to see if anyone would help me but none did and these people are way out of line. 3.) There is a subtle hint of racism in the store where nearly ALL of the employees are Filipino. I think the bigotry is worse with Filipinos who are considered American by the staff. I've seen it happen where Filipinos will talk among each other about customers who are not truly Pinoy in their eyes. It's petty and trifling but is perhaps one reason the Filipino community doesn't embrace this chain as much as say, 99 Ranch or other Asian markets where this isn't an undercurrent. 4.) The mall on Westborough Blvd in South San Francisco has primarily Filipino business that are owned or aligned with the group that owns Seafood City. The mall stores are ChowKing, Jollibee, Red Ribbon with the large Seafood City store and dining area as the anchor store. There is also an O'Reilly auto shop there. On some days, the store is crowded and lines are long because staffing is short. This is the way it is all the time. 5.) Valerio bakery is V E R Y E X P E N S I V E. For example, a bag of baked rolls (12) is about $9 now. A container of 4 steamed buns (pork or chicken) is $12!! The stuff out on the floor in bags seems like it gets left out for days and most people will order the stuff fresh out of the kitchen anyway and pay the same wacked out prices. To be fair, groceries in America in 2026 is the highest I've ever seen with no chance for slowing down. Ethnic stores typically sell the same stuff in American chain stores at a cheaper price because of their clientele and zero marketing. But, I guess Seafood City thinks they are now a major chain and can charge the same prices, that, frankly gouge customers. I don't think I'll be going back to this particular spot or perhaps bail out on the chain altogether. It's disappointing to see this. They could be so much better, but this form of exploitative, insulting grocery store is getting old.

I didn't even realize this is a Michelin star restaurant but I'm not surprised. It's a casual spot where you can buy seafood to cook at home (the market) or prepared from the Eatery. The prices are reasonable considering how expensive seafood is these days, and they have a great selection of fresh and prepared seafood available. On this visit, I opted for the Knuckle Sandwich, a Dungeness crab sandwich with bacon and other toppings. The chips and Coleslaw are a nice side, I enjoyed the entire meal and it was more than enough to fill me up. They also have beers on draft, and several other drinks available. The casual open seating and atmosphere is what I appreciate about this location, while the food is amazing it feels approachable and enjoyable to dine in.

I did find a place where no meat would be available in SF . Once I started thinking of this place I started to map out hella meal possibilities with me creating dishes like San Francisco's native dish Cioppino and also making some salmon dishes along with some okay shrimp dishes like fried shrimp, skewer shrimps on the barbie, and scallop ceviche. The real feast on Good Friday would be getting the Dungeness Crab paired with some garlic noodles . This place has been a Mission District seafood institution and it's called Sun Fat Seafood company ( a former employee started Basa Seafood Express on 24th street). On a Spring stroll on Mission street between 22nd and 23rd streets I went inside a fresh seafood market. Inside you will see live lobsters in a tank. You will also see Dungeness Crab during crab season and also find of variety of fresh oysters selection along with scallops. You will also see sushi rolls when available along with different types of fishes. This place was the solution I was looking for to replace meat cravings and replace with seafood during Good Friday feast. This is definitely the place if you like it crustaceans and fish cooked or raw in SF. Inside Sun Fat Seafood you find some raw fish "fillet" to make your meal for " Good Friday" as some will "pray" and enjoy the fresh catch of seafood in San Francisco city by the "Bay" It's almost Good Friday so I feel "bless "I am alive and remembering those who passed away in peace may they "rest" I walk the streets of the Mission I "reminisce" and honor them on Good Friday feast as I eat some crab that's "Dungeness"
