    Awesome customer service. Came here looking for fresh tuna so I can make poke. His shop does not carry tuna but told me where I can go to get some. Saw them frying up some fish and I decided to try the clam sandwich. The sandwich was ok. It was a bit greasy and soggy. I'm giving them 4 stars for their customer service. I also bought some steamers and they were almost all clean of sand. They say they purge the clams before selling.

    The fried clams were perfect. Their Stuffed quahog delish! Customer service outstanding

    Large Side order of fried fish
    Sophie B.

    We got a large side order of fried fish($10) and a side of shrimp($18) Fast friendly service, very fresh fish, fried in front of you, HUGE servings. My only two issues is that the batter doesn't have any flavor, would greatly benefit from some salt, pepper and paprika. And secondly they only have prepackaged tartar sauce which was terrible.

    My honey was just there and I am so jealous!!!!!!!!!!!

    This place has a long history and they're famous for serving up some of the tastiest fish and chips in Fall River, MA. My sweetheart went to a Catholic all-girls school, Dominican Academy, just around the corner for 12 years and she has some great stories about all those Fridays and those fish and chips. Of course, it was a mainstay Friday event for us and then our kids over the years and I gotta tell ya', I miss it sometimes. They are unique as they use pollock fish, which is in their original recipe and serve it with fries or onion rings plus they have a fish dinner that feeds four. It's only available for takeout and you get a lovely grease-stained paper bag. Mouthwatering! Gotta love fresh fried seafood prepared right in front of you, I get that here at Blalock's. Their breading is light and airy despite the greasy bag LOL. This is not a dine-in restaurant, most of the space is retail seafood on display, with about 1/3 of the space being used for fried seafood cook while you wait. French fries wrapped separately from seafood plate items. Also a big deal for me, the seafood platter portions are very generous compared to others around and the prices are reasonable too. They also have some stuffed quahogs nice deals lobster and lobster rolls with other interesting weekly specials. Nice. As for the seafood well they have all my New England favorites, lobster, clams, bay and dry scallops, swordfish, quahogs, cod and more. (I will post an image of their selection) Bottom line: Fresh seafood, professional and friendly folks and This place is the cleanest seafood store I've ever patronized, and that's a lot. Highly recommended!! https://higsonseafoodma.com/ 917 South Main Street,  Fall River, MA 02724 (508) 678-4970

    Still a healthy portion left after I smashed that plate hard while it was still hot and crispy!

    The oil was hot and fresh which in turn meant the scallops and fish were cooked just right. Scallops were absolutely perfect, fish batter was light and fish was fried perfectly. Fries were surprisingly good for what they are, the girls are spot on in their fry game! Now the trick to enjoy the take out to the max. Be prepared to eat right there in your car. If you walk out the store, go straight to your car and start munching you will 100% enjoy every Pennie's worth of this meal. Bring a lemon with you and your favorite sauce along w/ a cold beer and I guarantee the food if eaten immediately will be hot and crispy. The longer you take to get it out of the paper and into your mouth the soggier your experience. You have been warned. It's a 5 star for what it is if the staff is on their game, price was good relative to the market and the main ingredients are fresh! Portions are an excellent size and value. If you don't follow my recommendation your experience will vary accordingly to the time your food spends traveling.

    Excellent customer service! Greasy seafood and they cook it for you. I recommend anyone looking for a massive seafood platter check them out well worth the price.

    This is a great little seafood market! The seafood is always fresh, the prices are more than fair and the service is always great! Higson Seafood always seem to have exactly what you want! They offer their seafood from fresh to fried, however you want to take it home! We went and purchased fresh scallops for dinner tonight...They were scrumptious!!

    Clams that are sweat in flavor.

    My favorite pit-stop for fresh seafood. I can pick from their fresh catch or have one of their fried specialties. With Covid-19 hanging over our lives Higson Seafood gives us a chance to be free to enjoy a meal that's hearty and healthy for the whole family. Higson's has street parking great for drop in and leave. I give them a great thank you for being heroes in this trying time and giving back our humanity for a moment. They follow CCD recommendations so your safe. On this trip I got clams for an old-fashioned Portuguese New England Clam boil!

    Another great experience yesterday at Andrade's Catch. I traditionally make baked stuffed lobsters…read moreon Memorial Day Weekend and this year, with six of us partaking, it was especially important to find lobsters that were high-quality and reasonably priced. I found both at Andrade's. I always shop around, and Andrade's prices were great - significantly lower than anything I could find in the area. The lobsters were properly feisty and Nick was very helpful, selecting six two-pounders for us with equal-width tails. (Important for presentation!) I remove the claws, par boil them, and add the meat to the stuffing. (An old trick I learned from Jed Hanley's Fore 'n Aft back in the day.) Although the claws' shells were thick, and actually required a hammer to crack them, I don't think I've ever gotten so much meat. I also bought a pound of peeled and deveined shrimp and a pound of excellent, fresh and sweet scallops for the stuffing. This year's result was among the best I've made. Thanks to Nick, David and all the staff at Andrade's for your help. We'll see you soon.

    What a great find for us! Our local/regular steamer/lobster supplier was out of steamers, our…read moredaughter and son-in-law were visiting from CA, we always have a clam boil when they visit, I stumbled upon Andrade's Catch and we couldn't have been more impressed. Ryan, Ben and Owen were all exceptionally helpful and personable. The steamers were the best sized, freshest and tastiest we've had in many years and the lobsters were just as great. Andrade's Catch is going to be our go-to seafood source from now on. Also, you may want to try the Stone Soup Kitchen Portuguese stuffies they have, they are also the best we've had in far too many years. We couldn't be happier with our purchase and Andrade's Catch has our highest recommendation! Thank you Andrade's!

    I live in Tiverton and my family has spent not hundreds, but thousands of dollars here over the…read moreyears. I often tip generously and once received a nice bottle opener as a thank you. Unfortunately, I was met with an absolutely atrocious attitude from the young lady who served me today. I asked for two whole filets of Arctic Char from the back cooler instead of the two in the front case. Why? Well, the real answer is that it doesn't matter why...I'm the customer paying nearly $60 for fish and if that's what I want, then the correct answer is a smile and a "no problem, let me go get that for you!" Instead, what I got was a look of utter contempt and an "I mean, what's the difference?" sarcastic reply with one palm raised up to emphasize just how ridiculous my request was. When she returned with the fish, I said "just FYI, all that should matter is that I'm the customer (paying top dollar for a premium product), maybe I'm just a bit OCD." Her response, again with that famous Gen-Z contempt, was "I mean, there's no difference, we just brought it (the fish in the case) out, but anyways, I got you your fish." She just didn't get it. The owner overheard everything and chimed in "all of our fish is fresh here, you don't need to worry about that." Yeah, I know that it's a good product, it's why I shop here, but if my unique brain feels better about having it brought out from the back cooler, why should that merit even a drop of bad attitude?! I told the owner, "I just shouldn't have to explain myself," he retorted "you didn't" and I told him "no, actually I did." So basically, I went in looking forward to a nice experience and left feeling really irritated. Sometimes when I'm passing through Westport, I stop by Westport Lobster Company. I always ask for my fish from the back...and all that I ever get is a smile and a "sure, no problem, let me get that for you." I prefer to spend money in my own town, but I'm not going back to this place and neither is my wife...We don't need to be rewarding rudeness with our hard-earned dollars.

When a friend recommended Kyler's, we knew we had to take a little road trip to check it out. Primarily a fish shop, you know the offerings are going to be local & fresh as soon as you pull up to this harborside location. Fishing boats literally surround the place! But, a huge, inviting outside deck shows that this place is much more than just a fish shop. We were here to eat today, not shop. And, boy, did we eat! On a cold, windy day - that beautiful deck was out. We ordered & grabbed drinks & settled into a small table - one of just a few in a corner of the shop. This time of the year the kitchen seems to do mostly take-out. We started with a New England Clam Chowder & Stuffed Quahog. The chowder was thick, rich & and delicious, though maybe just a tad floury. The stuffie had just the right amount of spice. Loved the thumb print to help aid reheating - an idea I may steal! But, the main event, by far was the amazing Fisherman's Platter! Plenty of food for two to share everything was perfectly cooked & could not have been more fresh. Good, freshly made fries provide a base rather than overwhelming the seafood. The platter included a half dozen each of good-sized scallops & shrimp, fish, more whole-bellied clams than we could count & even a bonus, unexpected crabcake. After sharing the starters, two of us couldn't finish. A walk through the shop after eating continued to impress. Load of prepared items, all manner of local, fresh seafood, huge pools of lobster. On noticing that all of the shrimp were US caught wild & chemical free, I asked if this was true if the kitchen too. So happy to hear it was! While we missed out on them, the extremely knowledgable fishmonger said they often fly in fresh shrimp from the Carolina's on the weekends as well. We'll definitely be making the trip back here to try those, pickupsome fresh fish & to eat more from the delicious kitchen!

    Haven't gone yet but our kids did and said the clam chowder was delicious. The casual vibe was…read moreattractive.
