We are regulars here and can't seem to want to buy our meat from anywhere else…read more We like to buy the pepperoni sticks, packaged sliced meat, steak, and cheeses. During the holidays we do the turkey orders and they are always popular with our family! But we don't just buy meat for us, we also buy meat for our cats. The owner, Lloyd, supplies us with duck that has been ground into cubes so that we can give it to our cats. Because of the raw food, I have been able to take one of our cats off medication for pancreatitis. If you've never been to the meat shop, be ready for a lineup. It is always busy in there, but busy for a reason. The meats are high quality and come from local farms. The animals are ethically raised.

Four of us for lunch... I had the halibut burger which I…read morethought was tasty (grilled with tartar sauce, pickle, lettuce, tomato and onion). Other three had the panko oyster burgs. Hubby defined his as heavily breaded, chewy flotsam. My MIL also thought the oysters were chewy. Hubby didn't give me a bite...knew it wasn't for me. Fries were great...nice and crisp. Cole slaw was bland. Don't bother. Might go back for fish and chips (they can clearly fry things nicely) or the halibut burger. Outside table was nice in the spring sun.

There are about 20-30 colorful floating houses with some buzzing restaurants here. We went on a Saturday evening in August so the place was packed and vibe was amazing.

Supporting local is huge for us and we were happy to find Satellite Seafoods…read more The fresh fish is incredible, sadly the man behind the counter is absolutely horrible to deal with and we have had him serve us 3 times over the last year. He has the worst attitude and miserable disposition we have ever experienced in customer service, his attitude is why we most likely won't return for a 4th visit and more. This needs to be addressed by the owner, other reviews have mentioned the horrible service from this employee.

I just got back from a grocery run at Thrifty's, and it's clear that COVID-19 has transformed…read moresomething so simple and routine into a new experience altogether. I highly commend Thrifty's (and its conglomerate, Empire Co. Ltd.) for its swift response in promoting health and safety in its store. Some noticeable changes to enforce social distancing: - Reserved shopping time at 7am-8am for seniors and immunocompromised customers - Marked lines to indicate where 6 ft is for customers lining up outside the store and at the cashier area - Limited number of customers allowed in the store, as monitored by a staff member at the door (one entrance/exit only) - Sanitized shopping carts given directly to the customer outside of the door - One-way aisles, as marked by arrows on the floor - Plexiglas cashier shields, gloves, and sanitizing spray bottles to protect cashiers For more popular items like eggs and produce, Thrifty's has also placed signs limiting customers to the quantity that can be purchased. I was actually very impressed with how well-stocked the shelves were. With emotions running high as uncertainty sinks in, this is undeniably a trying time now for many people. However, it's important that we appreciate those in the service industry who continue to go to work to ensure that our lives can function as normally as possible in the circumstances. On that note: to the two staff members monitoring the door and providing shopping carts, thank you again for your warm smiles and friendly conversation despite the long hours worked. I wish I had gotten both of your names, but in any case, I see you and I appreciate you.

Thriftys Fairfield Florist- I went into the Fairfield…read moreThriftys Florist to discuss a $3,000- wedding order. The Manager, Petra, told the Service Agent at the front desk that she was too busy to speak to me. And that she was leaving in 5 minutes. She told the Service Agent to tell me to "come back tomorrow." She wouldn't come out of her Office nor take a moment to say hello. I then said to the Service Rep that I would prefer to make an appointment, rather thsn just drop in. Petra told the Service Rep that she would be available at 3pm tge next day to call me. I provided my name and telephone number to the Rep and confirmed that Patra was to call me at 3pm today. Guess what happened? 3pm and NO CALL ftom Petra. 3:15pm and still no call. This Floral Manager was rude, disinterested and wasted my time. I'm letting you kbow so that she doesn't waste your time! Try another Florist or another Thrifty's location.

I got a small salmon chowder which was good but a little too much potatoes for my preference. My halibut taco was also a tad dry and just ok. My cousin ended up getting the fish & chips with a medium chowder which comes with bread. The fish & fries were really good actually. Juicy fish and the fries were fresh and just potatoes. Definitely order that. She said the oysters were good as well but we didn't get to try this time.

Yesterday I was at Vancouver's Winter Farmers Market and one of the vendors there was Iron Maiden…read moreSeafoods. I bought some albacore tuna and we had it for dinner tonight. It was excellent. I looked up Iron Maiden Seafoods online to learn more about the company that brought us this this delicious fish and I am quite impressed with the company. They use sustainable fishing methods. Iron Maiden Seafoods troll catches their fish, which means that they use six lines with up to 20 hooks. This doesn't yield as many fish as other methods, but it's sustainable and ensures that each fish caught gets individually processed. They flash freeze the fish at sea and they guarantee freshness. Mainly Organics on Main Street in Vancouver sells Iron Maiden Seafoods fish. I might just have to head over there the next time I want some sashimi grade fish.

Popular seafood pickup spot in Anacortes…read more Parking is easy as there's enough space for 6 cars. Pretty transactional. Don't expect bubbly customer service like Shrimp Shack. We come here for Dungeness crab. Shrimp are small but good. We usually drive to Deception Pass State Park, find a table, and eat our seafood there. We bring our usual party utensils, seafood tools, gloves, and rice. Make sure you check the Jet Carrier Training Schedule. It can get really loud if you don't time it right.

The pieces are generous. One piece is plenty for the average person. The halibut is BC caught, which is great. Tasted fresh and delicious. I like the fresh tasting coleslaw. It isn't that gluggy sweet sugar & mayo combo you get at many places. It was just a simple cut up cabbage nicely seasoned. Maybe it had a little something else on it. Expect a line whenever you go because the word is out. The wait staff was friendly and working hard to keep the line moving. We found a chair up against a narrow wooden "bar" facing the water. It was quite warm so we appreciated the shade of an umbrella.

I got the albacore tuna and tempura cod tacones which were decently priced and filling - 2 was more than enough for a nice meal. The albacore tuna was prepared medium and fresh and flavorful, and the tempura cod is nicely battered. Both shared similar ingredients like the slaw and it was hard to differentiate the different sauces. Line was long - even on Saturday 4:30pm, it was a 15 min queue and another 10 minutes for food. Lots of ample seating outdoors only, so I can imagine it being more busy on a nicer day like when I visited.
