No frills, no fuss fishmonger. The perfect place for fresh fish on my way home from work.read more

Reliable, clean, and affordable fish market. I wish they were open a bit longer. It seems as though…read morethey're also expanding or at least undergoing some type of renovation based off of my most recent visit. I literally walked right past them because I didn't recognize them at first. It's not a HUGE selection, it's very small inside but they still have plenty of options. You can get bags of frozen snow crab legs, they carry frozen Caribbean lobster tails (spiny lobster), and calamari, etc in their freezer. They have tanks for live lobsters but I've personally never seen them when I go, I usually do go later though.. so maybe that's why. I like getting whole fish from them, they have Bronzino and red snapper, tilapia, fresh shrimp, fish steaks and much more. They also have a cute little section of seasonings and things to make seafood boils or fish frys, but they're a little pricey. Owners are always extremely nice and helpful.

Foodway is a large gourmet supermarket located in Georgetowne Plaza in the Flatlands section of…read moreBrooklyn. It used to be part of the Fairway family, but was sold to Key Food during bankruptcy. The produce department is so big it puts Farmer's markets to shame. They have a wide selection of tropical items, including multiple varieties of avocados, mangoes, figs, and root vegetables. Persimmon, jicama, and star fruit are always in stock. A large selection of cut fruit is available as well - even dragon fruit. Beyond the produce is the impressive cheese section carrying both domestic and international options. And if they don't have something you can ask the part-time cheesemongers to order it for you. The seafood and butcher staff are some of the most knowledgeable and patient people I've ever spoken with period! They look like they genuinely enjoy what they do and it shows. Live lobsters are available (which is not my thing since I'm allergic to shellfish) and I've noticed them going for $11 a pound lately. Lamb, duck, and goat are regularly available. And the largest turkey legs I've ever seen! Check the pictures. They're huge! Fresh squeezed juices, smoothies, and tonics are available at the juicery. This is also where they keep the kombucha, probiotics, and immunity shots. The prepared foods and Deli are my favorite sections. They offer custom salads to order, pizzas, and stromboli. The hot foods bar is a must - offering a rotating selection of high quality entrees and sides. Two soups and a handful of salads are also on offer not to mention multiple grab and go items. They're not known for sales, but their prices are pretty competitive for the area. There are after all 3 other markets on the same street including a recently expanded Key Food. Go figure!

The service has been excellent and despite today's encounter with a cashier who obviously thinks bagging groceries is beyond their job description- after a few nasty responses it was necessary to alert management; they apologized and told me enough to bypass that individual next time..if there will be a next time.... But it's a great place overall; a worthy successor to the previous establishment.

You can also find the big containers of Vita Coco coconut water for just $3.

My dad told me he was going to take me for a really good fruit drink and when I stepped inside I…read morewas a bit confused. Natural Food sells fresh vegetables and fruits so I was a bit baffled to find a bar that serves the most wonderful fruit and veggie juices. My dad ordered the papaya and I ordered the honey dew drink. Everything is fresh-when you order, they cut up an entire fruit for you and they do NOT MIX IT WITH SUGAR. Fruit mixed with some ice brings out it's natural flavors and makes for a delicious, nutritious and health treat. It might take a few minutes or so for the nice man behind the counter to make your treat but just remember, it's all fresh and delicious!!! 12 oz is $2.99 You can also order fruit smoothies which are mixed with fruit juice and soymilk for $3.99, they serve bubble tea and soy ice cream which is perfect for those that are lactose intolerant. Flavors are pistachio, chocolate, cookie n cream, vanilla, mint chip, strawberry, mango and cherry vanilla. Two scoops for $1.99

Not…read moreonly is their selection of produce well curated and interesting, those guys are working out front constantly, even at 4am on a rainy cold winter night and make the sidewalk both friendlier and safer. There's one kinda jerky guy who works here, I think he's the owner, and everyone else is almost suspiciously nice. You'll find a few little gems in here you wouldn't expect. I came in at around 2am with a toothache not too long ago and got a decent sized bottle of clove oil hidden behind the counter for 4$. They also carry coconut oil, and other asian foods as translated through the West Indies. Neither of which implies dairy foods, mexican foods, or organics, though there are some nods to the 'changing neighborhood' with some cheese, kombucha, and fancy juices in the cooler. There's some good spices, hot sauces, and those little pouches of instant indian food for pretty cheap. The terrible fish smell gets stronger in the front of the store. My friend swears that the salted cod is really good, it's a delicacy?? It's salted so it stays good forever?? I don't know, I don't eat such things.

I love local stores. I particularly love local stores that are practically underneath my apartment,…read moreso allow me to wax eloquent on the glory that is this fruit and vegetable stand. First of all: it is a fruit and vegetable stand. They have a few other things, among them an assortment of spices and sauces that incorporates the tastes of most of Asia, the Middle East, and South America (possibly Africa, too, but I have unfortunately cooked far too little African cuisine to confirm this), but for the most part, they sell fruit. And vegetables. And they're really delicious. Pineapples and mangoes. Fresh coconut. A small green vegetable as yet to be identified (I suspect it is the sort of pepper that makes you hallucinate if swallowed whole. I got one of those in some Texas chili. Bad news bears. But then I had a whole dream about the end of the world, so only half bad news bears. A single bad news bear. Just chilling by himself). And salted codfish, for reasons which elude me. They also have a whole assortment of drugstore items behind the counter at the back, and these really friendly guys who unpack everything and hang around at curb-side most of the day. Everything in the store is also cheap as a West-Oakland hooker. But way more enticing. They appear to never close. I drove into town at five in the morning, all sketched out by driving into Brooklyn at five in the morning, and the guy with a cut on his hand asking for money (which scam I have seen so many times, it's made me cynical, which in turn makes me sad for my wounded romanticism) but the fruit and vegetable stand was open, and how sketched out can you be when you're moving into an apartment with tangelos and yams overflowing onto the sidewalk right next door? Only downside; they do not appear to have any dairy or meat products, excepting a randomly varied selection of cheeses, which are all small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. They have five different brands of soymilk, but no actual milk. They have two brands of COCONUT BUTTER, and lots of magarine, but no actual butter. Which is great if you're lactose intolerant, like my housemate, but not so much if you're a fiend for the cow juice, like me. They're still awesome. And I love them.
