Today I went to buy artichokes. They have been a part of our family's Easter tradition for a long…read moretime. When I got to Whole Foods I saw only 4 artichokes, and I needed 12. I went to speak with Jose who works in the produce department. I explained what I needed, and although he didn't know what they were, he was eager to help. He went to the back room two times to find these jewels. Good service is a state of mind followed by good intention. Jose is a fine example of both!

WHOLE FOODS (WF) CHILEAN SEA BASS (CSB)…read more TL;DR Seafood Department. Disappointing. Unscaled Fish. ******************************************** I'll start with saying that there are plenty of positives to this store, but it's time I share my unfortunate negative experiences, specific to the Seafood Department. Spring of 2023 I was lured in by a radio advertisement touting WF Chilean Sea Bass being on sale. Went in. Saw that the Sea Bass didn't have that stark white gleam and looked absolutely grey. Asked for a sniff test, and it was nauseatingly full on ammonia...virtually spoiled. I felt sorry for any unsuspecting consumer not knowing how to identify bad seafood. Fast forward to January 2024, I'll blame myself for this one. I always ask my fish mongers the same question, but totally forgot once here. My thought was probably being in a 'gourmet' high end supermarket that they should know better. Actually I should know better, no matter the store. Smh. No sale today, which I knew and okay with as I was determined to get my CSB fix. The two pieces I chose thankfully passed the sniff test. So I made my purchases and was ood to go. While home, I lightly rinsed, cause you know old school. Then lightly seasoned in preparation for a quick broil. As I'm prepping I noticed those dreaded SCALES! Scales on a prime piece of seafood?! I know this might not be serious to anyone else but this is a pet peeve of mine and an annoyance that I cannot get past. Knowing that I've purchased, seasoned and now have to scale these suckers myself?! Aarrgghh!! I can't even express my disappointment. Yup, my own fault for forgetting and not asking if they were scaled. To all of you Fish Mongers. If you don't know, you need to know that scaling should be a part of the process before selling a $32.99/lb piece of premium fish. Or any fish for that matter that involves the skin to remain intact. Anyway, after a bunch of curse words I calmed down, put the CSB back in the fridge, took out a nice big piece of fresh Cod I purchased from Super Fresh, which I also had prepared. And happy to announce that Super Fresh preps their seafood appropriately. I tried to scale (no pun intended) this review down but needed to get this off of my chest. In conclusion to my experiences I will say, "Whole Foods you carry a high reputation. Live up to it and do better especially within the Seafood Department!"

But when you do find it you find the Mecca of fitness supplies here. The original owner was so nice he gave me a sports bottle that I use to this day. NYB offers huge discounts on all the products they sell. It's a place you goto when your real serious about working out. It's not a pretty looking place. It's cluttered, it's not lit well, and it's covered in commercial carpet. This place is not for the fate of heart. If your looking to buy workout equipment they sell that too. They don't have a large selection but it's enough to get started. All the protein bars they offer there are new too. They have a huge selection. They offer a ton of Quest Bars, but where were the Cliff Bars? I bought a 7.5 lbs. Isopure Protein for only $98.00. That's the best price around. GNC sells the Isopure 3 lbs Container for the same price. I'll stick with NYB! If working out is your life, give this place a try.
