This was my first time actually ordering a platter from them. It's in a busy area so parking is a little hard to do. Pack patients. The lady who answered the phone and took my order was very nice. They were very slow. My order took a very long time. I feel like it was overpriced and they give you these little small potatoes and nothing much. The platter was just OK. I was very disappointed. I was looking forward to a really good seafood platter. I also ordered the cannoli and the shell was stale! The filling was good. So disappointing because I love a good cannoli. Overall, I was disappointed and I'm not sure if I would ever get a platter from them again or any cannolis.

Having spent most of my life here, a few familiar joys always come to mind. Now, I'll admit--shopping for fish wouldn't usually make that list. But Giuseppe's Market inside Samuels & Son has changed that entirely. This place is an absolute standout. The seafood selection is unmatched--ultra-fresh, incredibly diverse, and always beautifully displayed. But even more impressive than the product is the people. The team behind the counter is among the most professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, and all-around kind folks you'll ever encounter in a market. They're the kind of people who take pride in what they do and make you feel genuinely welcome every time you stop by. If you're not already shopping at Giuseppe's, let me just say--you're missing out. It's a hidden gem tucked inside a working seafood distribution hub, and it deserves your appreciation. John, the manager, is a master of hospitality and seems to make instant friends with just about everyone. The rest of the crew? Just as fantastic. Three words: Buy. Fish. Here. You'll be glad you did.

I've always had a great experience purchasing the super frozen tuna at Fishtown Seafood but my most…read morerecent purchase was quite disappointing. The frozen tuna saku here makes amazing poke, however, they were out at my recent visit so I purchased the frozen tuna steaks. I was informed by the staff member that although the tuna steak could be eaten raw it is not ideal due to the sinew. Since the difference in texture didn't sound like something I would mind too much, I figured I would purchase the steaks and see how it pans out. I could always give it a quick sear if it doesn't work out. I prepared the tuna shortly after it defrosted in the fridge and noticed that the tuna smelled awfully fishy! I did try a small (raw) piece marinated in soy sauce and sesame oil and it was inedible due to the intense fishiness. So I gave the tuna a quick sear after encrusting the steaks with sesame seeds. Again, waay too fishy. I had to put the tuna back in the pan to cook until they were well done and even then there was still a hint of fishiness. I've gotten tuna steaks at other markets before and they were never fishy, let alone be at this intense level. This is so disappointing because I expected better quality from here.

And, all of the seafood I've bought there has been fresh and absolutely delicious. They just celebrated 1 year of opening this month () and I cannot say enough great things about Fishtown Seafood! --- First introduced to Fishtown Seafood after an oyster shucking course at their Fishtown location, I've become a regular at the Fitler Square location. The fish is a bit on the pricier side due to their commitment towards sustainability and ethical supplier transparency, but the taste is unmatched, so I am always OK to splurge. The staff is always friendly and full of recommendations if you're not sure what seafood you'd need for your dish. I'm a huge fan of their Fish Club monthly seafood boxes. The weekly pickup is some combination of 2-3 seafood items- either being two portions/filets of fish, mussels, clams, oysters, lobster tails, crab, octopus, etc. The pickups are during their store hours, whenever is convenient for your schedule. I splurged on the monthly box instead of going out to eat and it's really great value! I highly recommend it! It let me sample seafoods I'd typically never buy. I can't wait to do the seafood boxes again when they come back. On the shelves, there are sauces for seafood (wasabi, mignonette, yuzu soy sauces, etc.), tools for oyster shucking, and canned seafood (sardines, anchovies, etc.). Their sushi (although on the pricier side as a student) felt fresh and well-portioned. I've yet to try their meal kits, and I'm confident their quality and taste will be just as exceptional as everything else I've had. The oysters are very fresh, but vary in size based on the variety. There is also an oyster shell reclaiming program where they take the shells and use them to help rebuild eroding local beaches! Overall, really great, fresh seafood! I would highly recommend Fishtown Seafood.
