The staff is super cool and accommodating. Went to order lobster for a party and they actually sent the lobster with the group before I paid for it. Complete trust in my word. It's a seafood store and the ambience is that of a seafood market. Fresh and frozen treats from around the world. Prices and super affordable. This will be my annual stop. read more

Man what a deal I got on salmon and steelhead there! And he boxed it all up neatly with ice, so I was able to get it home in fresh condition hours later. I also noticed he had a good selection of scallops at least average market price or lower. I'll be coming back to stock up when I throw seafood brunch parties. read more

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff, very fresh seafood and they are now open Saturdays.

Get ready to feel good by stopping by this fine seafood deli. Pacific Seafood is one of the largest seafood distributors in the Pacific Northwest and perhaps the world. They supply your favorite fresh seafood to local restaurants and grocery stores. For such a large seafood distributor, this is their humble retail location where they have been on SE Powell Blvd since the early 40's. Their fresh selection of seafood comes from as far north as Alaska and as far southeast as the Gulf of Mexico. The selection changes based on what is available fresh based on the season. Don't see what you're looking for? They can order it for you! In addition, there is a large selection of frozen seafood. Some of it is self-service in a deli freezer, or you can ask for it and they may have it in the back. Service is as good as it gets. They're experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly. If you like, they can box your seafood and pack it in ice. This is above and beyond. My personal favorite are their fresh steelhead fillets. It's from their own sustainably raised steelhead farm on the Columbia River about 5 hours from Portland. Light, flavorful, and flaky. I could eat it everyday, and sometimes I do. They are open Monday through Friday, so plan accordingly for your weekend seafood meals! read more

This is absolutely the best fish market I have ever encountered. They always have a good selection and the fish is always very fresh. The people who work there are friendly and helpful, the prices are reasonable and the fish is excellent. read more

For Thanksgiving this year I planned to make a dish with whole founder. Problem is, while flounder is a staple on the East Coast, it's not popular here and nobody had it. Except Pacific Seafood. "No flounder, but our buyer says there's some big petrale sole that's running around 3lbs each. Will those do?" Indeed they would, and did. If you're looking for something specific, do remember to call in advance; if it's being caught anywhere in the world, PacificSeafood can probably get it for you with a few days notice (PS is owned by possibly the biggest international fish company in the world). The staff is helpful and friendly and can suggest alternatives if something is just not going to be available. Do keep in mind that they primarily sell wholesale to the restaurant trade, so you generally get whole fish, crab, shrimp etc. and it's up to you to clean and filet them. PS is also the only place I know in Portland that regularly stocks deboned butterflied trout, useful for a number of recipes. read more

Always a selection of local in season catches at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. I love supporting this longtime local owned independent business. read more

We purchased a whole crab at Pacific Seafood on Friday and decided to eat it the next day. The nice people at the shop had cleaned the crab and packed it in ice for us. We went to eat the crab and discovered that the center section was all black and the crabmeat was gone. Well, upon cracking the tiny crab legs and pulling out the meat we found it to be in pieces and stringy. This crab had previously been frozen and then thawed out. Freezing a crab destroys the crab and makes it inedible. I had known that regular supermarkets sell previously frozen crabs but did not know that a seafood outlet like Pacific would stoop so low. read more

Although the seafood we purchased seemed decently fresh, we found an inch-sized piece of plastic that was pulled out while chewing crab. Any freshness of food does not account for allowing a large amount of plastic to be missed and included in human consumption. Its totally and utterly wrong. It means the food was not inspected properly and questions the practice of this establishment's quality control. I greatly hope the owner sees this as an opportunity to change their lack of attention to a customer's well-being. read more

Pacific Seafood - Large plastic found in seafood. Totally unacceptable. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Portland, Oregon

That lucky Capt Hook! He's the scourge of the bike lanes again & the holy terror of mud puddles everywhere. So why does this bad boy get sweet, tender dungeness crab risotto with crimini mushrooms & asparagus tips for V-day? Because it's still dungeness crab season & for $5.99/lb there's no need to schlep to Costco, get run over by 5 SUV's, 3 shopping carts, & the random stroller or two to get 2 crabs for the same price when I only need one. Did I mention that the lovely lady behind the counter will not only clean the crab for you (She removes the back with one quick snap AND pulls out the scary monsterish appendage-shaped lungs so you don't have to do it later while thoughts of, "OMG. Did that just move??" go running through your pretty little head.) but also gives out cooking tips. (Octopus is cooked when it bobs up from the water, or oil if you're so inclined, just like gnocchi!). That lucky Capt Hook, maybe it pays to be bad after all.... read more

I'm mixed on Pacific Seafood. I have friends who ocean fish to support their families. Some have lost their life fishing. Pacific has been a very rough bargainer with fishers. Pacific Seafood is no doubt supporting families of employees. Eating fish customers are all in supporting their own same family values. For the fisher view, an independent news source is http://fnonlinenews.blogspot.com/. If you can buy direct from a fisher, recommend it. For salmon, if you have a chance to buy from a native fisher, that is ideal. Salmon are literally part of the spiritual fabric of many Northwest tribes. And of course you can catch fish yourself! Pacific is next best. They understand sustainability better than most and can tell you where the fish are sourced. If you are near one of their coast cleaning factories the fresh packed shrimp is sublime. Small Oregon pink coldwater shrimp are in season April-October each year and are fished sustainably. If you are buying "local sustainable" seafood at a store, question. Who caught when. Where. Does the fish go by other names. Likely you are getting fish from Pacific. This particular store is small. It has a selection of the most common local fish and shellfish, fresh and frozen. The Pacific Foods website, with a bigger selection, is maintained by the warehouse in Clackamas. The warehouse is focused on filling wholesale and restaurant orders, there is no retail there. But if you see something on the Pacific Foods website, phone ahead a day in advance to the Powell store to see if they can special order it for you. read more

Freshest seafood in Portland. Because it comes from our coastal waters. Staff is eager to sell sole, cod, salmon, oysters, crab, halibut, lobster tails, etc.. A little spendy sometimes, but isn't fresh worth it? No Wi-Fi (that I could tell) Open on weekdays only till 6:00 pm Public parking lot. Good for kids because they like looking at dead fish. read more

If you want the freshest seafood possible ( other than dropping your own line and hook or crab pot) this is the only place to go! They never fail to make me happy! read more

I love this little hole in the wall joint! Its very reasonably priced, has a great variety and is usually being operated by weathered old fisherman types. Its the first place I think to go when I want a decadent meal at home. read more

Every seafood item is TOP quality. The people working there are SUPER PROFESSIONAL and NICE. Buying from this establishment is always a joy. Highly recommended. read more

Oh hell yes. I am so excited to have found Pacific Seafood. When your loved one has frequent hankerings for seafood of all varieties, and you both find the oyster cravings are coming faster than you can earn the dough to buy them, Pacific has got your back. I love this place for so many reasons: -great friendly service. They are matter of fact, helpful, quick and funny. I always rush over right after work to grab a dozen oysters before they close at 6, and they always serve it up with speed. -prices are off the hook. Most oyster varieties are 6.95 for the dozen, and they will order whatever variety you want if you call ahead. Lobster tails are almost too cheap NOT to buy, and tuna steaks are crazy affordable. -great selection. They have pretty much any variety of shelfish and seafood you can think of, and you can order with short lead time anything else you want including live crawfish. If you even remotely enjoy seafood, promise me you'll make a trip by here. If you don't see what you want, I'm willing to bet that crack team of seafoodistas will hook you up. read more

I hate driving on Powell or in this part of town in general, but I go here to get seafood from this market. It is well priced and always fresh. The people that work here are wonderful. They are SO helpful and willing to do just about anything to help you and your new seafood purchase make it home. They always offer ice and last year, they completely packed up an order of Oysters for us (box and everything) for no extra charge so we could get them to Idaho for Christmas at my in laws house. It's rare to find service like this anywhere in Portland, so I wish I could give them an extra 6th star just for their customer service! read more

I've been using Pacific for 25 years, I rely on them to provide the majority of my local seafood. Their service and quality has served me very well through the years. I highly recommend them. read more

Excellent service and quality seafood is available. Fresh and frozen. Great selection and reasonable prices.

The most awesome place in town to get fresh oysters. They also have fresh whole tuna in the month of August you gotta love it it's much cheaper to buy it there. Its an extra dollar a pound more than it is to get a Newport. So save the drive go to Pacific seafood it's the best place in town. read more

AMAZING Red King Crab legs. Such a difference. I bought Golden King Crab legs at Whole Foods at $27 per pound, pretty skinny, not alot of meat. Pacific Seafood had Red King Crab at $23 per pound and another local market had Red King Crab at $39 per pound, way out of my price range! Pacific Seafood Red King Crab was so delicious and sweet! It's the ONLY place I'll go in the future! Thank you for my delicious dinner!! read more

You can always tell fresh seafood by the smell. If it smells slightly fishy, like being at the ocean, you know it's probably safe. But if it stinks to the point you gag when you walk in, you know something is probably wrong. Luckily, Pacific Seafood Company is the first of these two scenarios. Although a little deceiving from the outside, this little shop sized business with counter service harbors some of the freshest seafood to come out of the Northwest Pacific. With always-friendly service and consistently reasonable prices, Pacific Seafood Company is also one of the main seafood vendors to local eateries, including most of Portland's upscale, 5-star restaurants. read more

Looks are deceiving, indeed. Tucked away on skanky Powell Blvd, Pacific Fish and Oyster storefront and interior looks and smells like a complete throwback. More than slightly fishy with your standard bins of assorted seafood. Difference is, everything is absolutely fresh with a good variety of fish and shellfish. I usually opt for their incredible cuts of Copper River salmon in season and OYSTERS........ 8 visits and never a letdown. Between ABC Seafood and this place, my eastside wants are taken care of, both business run by down to earth friendly folks. read more

When I move to to a new city the first thing I look for is an honest butcher, and a great fishmonger. For the latter, anyone who enjoys cooking with fresh delicious ingredients should look no further than Pacific Fish & Oyster. The shop provides the kind of welcoming "Old Neighborhood" atmosphere which has always included patient, knowledgeable staff who are happy to see you and happy to help. read more

Love!!!! The freshest seafood, great prices, great selection and great people. We make it a point to stop here once a week.

Never impressed with the selection. Raced over there after work today before they closed. Would you like the smoked salmon or the smoked salmon? Waste of thirty minutes driving. read more

I love this place, I just wish they were open on the weekends. Very friendly and the quality is outstanding.

Stumbled across Pacific in early January - very happy to have found it. Prices are reasonable and the staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Wish they were open on the weekends! Will be back for salmon ends and poke very very soon :) read more

I have consistently shopped here for 20+ years. I have never been disappointed with my order. The service is polite and helpful. The fish is fresh. Nothing else to say. The owner still uses a pencil and paper. That is always a good sign for me! read more

Far and away best/freshest seafood in Portland. We've shopped all the others, and Pacific Seafood has the best: ling cod, crab, mussels, dover sole, petrale sole, tru cod. Great and knowledgeable service too. read more

I bought a live dungeness crab today. The employee didn't show me the crab before weighting it, I trusted the establishment so kept quiet. One claw and one leg missing pitifull crab at the end. So disappointed, will never go back. There are 2 more sea food places on Powell, Pacific seafood should take care of their customers better. read more
