Don is the go-to for the freshest, highest quality and sustainable seafood straight to your door! I've been ordering from him for a few years and I have never been disappointed with the bounty. My favorites are the Ora Salmon, uni and oysters for at-home sashimi nights. I love the skin because I will fry that up for an extra crispy bonus. I usually buy extra of the Salmon for cooking the next day, or toss into the freezer for another night. Uni is my brother's favorite, and Don went out of his way to source it for me even though it wasn't on his order list. Last week, I ordered Santa Barbara uni. Don replaced it with Hokkaido instead since it wasn't up to his quality standards. I highly recommend Don for your seafood needs!

Fishmonger Don is a Fairfax, CA chef and fishmonger par excellence. The fish and seafood he purveys are always fresh, local, and sustainably sourced. You always get the name of the boat and its location, and often get an actual photo of the fisherman who caught your fish! Don also prepares his own poke (2 kinds) and delicious Miso Cod. Pick up in Fairfax or get delivery to your door.

Fishmonger Don has been one of our treats to get us through the pandemic, we've had super nice meals every 2-3 months consisting mainly of delicious seafood delivered to our doorstep. Every single thing we've tried has been amazing. The seafood is really fresh, and if we end up cooking something we keep it super simple to let the fish and shellfish shine. It's been great especially for having a light preparation but elegant backyard meal with another family. Some highlights: whole live dungeness crab, miso-marinated black cod (my family's favorite: expensive but saves some prep time and marinating time), oysters (I have learned to shuck them though I am slow), cold-smoked salmon (so happy to find this after Creekside Smokehouse shut down), poke (both kinds are gluten-free and delicious), and salmon (yum!). Last weekend I was adventurous and got an entire salmon, filleting it myself and serving three meals worth of salmon to friends over two days (note to self: get a bigger knife). Our neighbors get the trout regularly and love it as well. The weekly email usually arrives late Friday morning. I drool over my keyboard as I put in the order, and a series of texts on Saturday let me know when the seafood is showing up. They've been switching over to biodegradable packaging where possible. Looking forward to our next meal from Fishmonger Don!

~*~*~*~*~*~ FISHMONGER DON ~*~*~*~*~*~ http://fishmongerdon.com FISHMONGER DON CONTINUES TO DELIGHT & ENLIGHTEN !!! His weekly fresh fish offerings sustain me and brighten my days. My weekend deliveries provide nourishment that reach far above the sharing of his passion for sustainable and healthy seafood. All offerings are absolutely fresh & delicious. Don is ever environmentally proactive in improving our planet in a myriad of ways. I can not recommend his work ethic, the integrity of his entire crew, and all of his products... more highly !!! Thank you, Fishmonger Don, for making my life and meals buoyant & satisfying !!! Today's order just delivered & I immediately steamed my beautiful 2+ pound live Dungeness crab. I look forward to cooking my premium grade, Toro Cut, New Zealand Ora King Salmon and also savoring it as the best sashimi ever. Each week brings new and amazing delicacies that are all SUPERB !!! Fishmonger Don Wins my Vote Hands Down... for My Favorite Seafood Resource and Best Local Business.

I've ordered from Don a few times (uni and tuna) and have been really happy with the quality and overall experience. The half pound tuna tray with various levels of fattiness was especially fresh. My parents spoke highly of the 100g tray of uni I bought for them so I ordered some for myself the next time. When the delivery driver came, I learned that the uni for that week was not good and rather than sell subpar uni, Don offered to refund me. I really appreciate that they stand behind their product and will be ordering again. Oh, and please tip your delivery driver!

Inefficient operation that misleads food delivery app drivers and forces them to wait excessive…read moretimes for handling orders. Inconsiderate, poor communication and overall very unprofessional.

Ordered delivery for our team today. All Day Kitchens is a lifesaver when trying to figure out…read morelunch plans. With everyone in the office having different preferences, it's such a convenience to have an all-in-one option. We got the Smoked St. Louis Cut Ribs by Mac 'n Cue which surprisingly came in this big container with bigger ribs sitting inside. Sauce came on the side, but the ribs were still juicy! Also got the Gilroy Garlic Mac (V) by Homeroom with breadcrumbs added. Super saucy and garlicy which is what we like to see. Not overbearing and oily like other places. Had to knock a star off because my order of The 'Tampopo' Ramen Classic by China Live Signatures and Original Combo Poki Bowl by Poki Time never arrived. While my coworkers got their orders in quick, mine dragged on and on. Waited an hour and eventually called the number to ask about it. The person I spoke to from All Day Kitchens was very apologetic and explained the order got canceled due to an inventory issue and DoorDash was suppose to reach out to me which they never did. At least they were able to process me a full refund. Still a bit bummed I didn't get to try what I wanted, but maybe again in the future.

Make Eat Easy - Hardest part...bagging the eggs

What a pleasant surprise! We ordered the duck confit for dinner last Saturday. We love cooking…read moreand try new recipes. With Makeeateasy you can't go wrong. The packaging was excellent, the food was delivered on time and all the ingredients were super fresh. They delivered the exact quantity for me and my wife (no food wasting), and very clear explanations on how to cook the meal. The end product turned out really really good and very fun to cook. Overall experience was great! Looking forward to try a new receipt soon!

Got the Avant-Garde Eggs Benedict (just like previous Yelp reviewer Amelia K.) via HAW. Since…read moredelivery was only within SF, I had it delivered to my fiance's office, so I have no idea if it was the CEO who personally delivered it, but we got the same pretty purple bag with all the ingredients freshly and neatly bagged inside. So far, a much better experience than my Luke's Local delivery (which had dozens of black bugs) a few weeks prior. What really floored me was the included handwritten personalized thankyou card offering me $10 off my next order! Everything I needed was in the bag, I just had to provide my own olive oil, salt, and pepper, saran wrap (but pre-cut strings were provided!), and of course the cooking utensils/pots/pans/water. :) I love kits like these because they let me make one thing without having a surplus of ingredients that take up space, get forgotten about, and/or go bad. The directions were easy to follow and accompanied by great photos, and the only hard part was bagging the eggs in the saran wrap. I don't know how Amelia K. made it in 15 minutes, because it took me a solid hour to make the 4 eggs benedicts. :P Maybe I'm not as talented of a cook, but that's okay, because I was still able to follow the instructions successfully!! My fiance and I don't like runny eggs so I ignored the instructions to boil the eggs for 4 minutes "sharp" and let them boil until the yolks were for sure cooked thoroughly. Handling them afterwards was difficult - they were hot and slippery, and I dropped one on the floor! (still ate it) I also decided to deviate from the recipe by making one of the eggs a sunny-side up, fried in the leftover bacon fat. Mmmmm... The last deviation I made was using garlic-flavored olive oil anytime the recipe asked for regular olive oil -- I used it to oil the saran wrap before bagging the eggs, I spread it on the English muffins just prior to toasting them, and I used it in the garnish. I love garlic. I was really happy with the final product and had way too much garnish leftover, but I mixed it with the excess arugula and it made a FANTASTIC salad. I'd do this recipe again. I was impressed that the recipe was printed on waterproof paper so I could save it and reuse it many times! :) Loved this experience -- highly recommended!
