I really had a great experience shopping for my family. The staff was friendly, accommodating and answered any questions we had. They were stocked with everything I wanted and more. I ordered fresh and frozen seafood. Everything was packaged the way I wanted. I just love the seating and the vibe. I give Foremost Seafood a ten out of ten. read more

Best seafood retail in Ohio. They are very knowledgeable about fish and preparation. My big find was Argentina Frozen Shrimp. Huge and unshelled. A very good value considering the size. They also carry wonderful condiments like shrimp cocktail and tarter sauce. read more

Excellent sea food! Their fresh choices are amazing. You can't go wrong with Foremost!

Born and raised in Boston and San Francisco, I was desperately searching for some fresh fish in the area. This place is well worth the trip due to quality and service. At first, I walked in and didn't get it. There was two freezers with food, and I wondered if yelp let me down this time. When thinking of a fish market, I'm use to seeing my fisherman with red boots walking around with fish on ice and in tanks. Nope! This is the deal. The nice women in front gave me the complete tour and explanation. There is a board in the front with the catch of the day and price sheets on the table. You place your order (you can call ahead too) with the women for Halibut, trout, etc. and ask for them to debone it/ anyway you want it. They have all the fresh fish in the back and come out and show you the filets. The quality is exceptional. Yes, it is pricey- but you get what you pay for. I also think it's cool that they have menus of the local restaurants that use their products on displays. All and all- if you love seafood- def need to check it out! read more

Having traveled to Japan and eaten sushi from the famous Tsukiji market, it has been difficult to find a sushi bar that serves fresh fish in the Dayton area. We were recommended by a friend to come to Foremost Seafood to purchase our seafood. They have a wide variety of seafood to select from and the ladies who work there are helpful when trying to decide on a specific type. I typically order sushi grade salmon and tuna from them. After placing an order, they will bring out the cut for you to make sure you are okay with what you will be purchasing. It is great to see what you are buying before you pay for it! They will place your order on a bed of ice for you so that it stays cold on your way home. We like to use our sushi grade salmon and tuna to make nigiri and poke bowls. It's as close as it gets to us for being in Dayton. TIp: There are times when they will have bluefin tuna but you may have to call ahead to confirm. read more

Sushi grade salmon is spectacular for me poke bowls. Got a pound/ 2 8 oz fillets for roughly $20

This is the place you can always count on getting real fresh seafoods. I understand this store serve many local restaurants. I got today sushi/sashimi grade tuna, salmon, red snapper and, of course, my favorite scallops. All were very fresh and tasty. The staff at this store are friendly, very knowledgeable and helpful. I strongly recommend this place for fresh seafood. read more

Awesome service, awesome quality products. Definitely my go to place for seafood whether it's fresh or frozen.

Many great fresh seafood options, better than the grocery store. Friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Very impressed with the customer service and quality of seafood here. This is probably the best place IN Dayton to get fresh seafood. We bought some Tuna (Ahi) and Salmon and made Salmon/Tuna poké as well as some Salmon, sashimi-style. Being from Hawaii and living in Japan for a few years before moving to Ohio, I've missed the fresh fish/seafood and am super happy after finding this place. I'll definitely be back! read more

Best place to buy your fish, seafood, soup in the greater Dayton area. (It's the place that the better restaurants get their fresh fish from). First of all, just in case y'all hadn't noticed, we don't have that many resources here to catch our own fresh fish, and yet they bring in fresh not frozen fish! The other day I stopped by on my way home, and the fishmonger brought out a piece of pollock for my inspection. It had the aroma of the ocean! No slime, I brought it home, poached it in butter and lime and I could have been at Jays or Sweeney's! If I needed help, there's always recipe cards available. My only problem, I didn't just stop at the one piece of fish, got a 16 oz of clam chowder and piece of frozen sea bass for later. (Why pay $35 to 45 for a meal when I can make it for so much less. (Sorry Jays) read more

Top quality, great service. Very helpful to order in advance. I'm certain that I will make them a regular stop. Very pleased to find a reliable source of seafood in the greater Dayton area. :) read more

Foremost Seafood - the entrance to the restaurant - Seafood Markets Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

I can count on one had the number of establishments I will miss after moving away and this is one of them! The customer service is top notch, the selection is surprisingly great, and the seafood is as fresh as it can get in a landlocked state. The icing on the top is that the prices are more than reasonable given the outstanding quality. I have been to the world famous Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, Japan, and this is really the gem of Dayton. If you are in the mood for bringing home fresh seafood at great prices, this is your place! I can't recommend this place enough! Cheers! read more

Seafood was absolutely fresh. Brought my gal from Maine to buy haddock and oysters and she was astounded at freshness after giving me much grief about seafood in Ohio. Oysters were cheaper than Maine read more

What does a Japanese girl do in Dayton but search for the nearest source of fresh fish. I called another Japanese lady and after a 30 minute drive, I found fresh fish. The fish selection here was impressive, some supposedly sushi grade. I'm not going to try though. read more

If I could rate this place higher than a 5, I would! We had never been here before and the staff was more than helpful. I was a little confused when we walked in because I didn't see your typical seafood counter with all the fish displayed. They explained how it worked and that they keep everything in the back in the cooler and on ice. They showed us their menu, helped us pick out sushi grade salmon and tuna to make sushi with, and they brought the items out for us to look at and then packaged it. We were very impressed and we won't be going anywhere else for fresh seafood! read more

Foremost Seafood goes beyond what you can find in cities twice Dayton's size. They have a superb variety and the fish couldn't be fresher... They filet it right off the fish to your exact specifications! Their products aren't cheap, but they're worth every penny. read more

Wanted to try something new. Hard to find good fresh seafood in Dayton. Whelp, my search is over! Ordered 1.5lbs of fresh walleye and 1 lb of sea scallops. Used the walleye for street tacos... Amazing. Then cooked the scallops in a little coconut oil. Absolutely amazing. So fresh. Delicate texture on both! Can't wait to go back tomorrow and see what is fresh! read more
