I've become a bit lukewarm about Small World Seafood. While they were selling sustainably farmed…read morefresh Faroe Isle salmon, and despite the convenience of local pick-up, it's quite pricey compared to the local ShopRite which sells exactly the same Faroe Isle salmon. Also their frozen haddock fillets were not very good-seems like they'd been deep frozen for ages, they didn't defrost very well and were truly water laden. I can't speak for the "blast frozen" as I haven't tried it. Their fresh turbot fillets were delicious but only saw then once on offer some months ago.

I have been spreading the gospel of Small World to literally everybody I've met for the past 2…read moreyears. Finding them has really changed my life in so many ways, including finally feeling like we live in Philly now, ya know? The fish they have is SO fresh, and cheaper than WF/Costco. Once you have the salmon from here you will never go back to anything else. We stopped ordering sushi too bc we eat our fill with pounds of tuna poke and sashimi, and always have a Hamachi loin in the freezer for when the craving strikes. They have the staples, and weekly fun stuff and have branched out into quite a lot of non sea food artisan items from other local small businesses. I always look forward to Robert's preview email when I wake up on Tuesday mornings, to see what fun we might have in store for the weekend. Most importantly, they are like neighbors serving neighbors, and so kind to accommodate special requests (like leaving branzino whole for me). They have suburb farmers markets, pick ups in the city, and you can always stop by the northern liberties shop on Thursday afternoons OR ask if they're around on a different day doing prep. I've done all of this, they're very accommodating and easy to order from. I stopped buying fish from anywhere else, and bring coolers full of fish 2 hrs away for my family. Absolutely life-changing!

I oftentimes pass by the Fishtown Seafood on Pine street and wanted to visit. Since I was in…read moreFishtown I decided to visit the one on Belgrade St. I wanted to get their various onigiri, but I got there a little too late so the only ones left was the lobster onigiri. Also picked up smoked salmon to try. I have not tried the smoked salmon yet, but I did like the onigiri, but was slightly disappointed. I liked the fact that the filling was placed throughout the rice (instead of traditionally placing in the center only); however, I felt it lacked in flavour and did not taste too much lobster. Also felt $8 for this onigiri was a bit steep. I would like to go back and try other onigiri and also buy some sushi grade tuna and salmon. I am still giving this place 4 stars because I know the quality is good, and until I taste other onigiri I don't want to be too hasty in giving them lower stars.

The tuna texture was smooth and had the right amount of firmness. Best of all, not a hint of fishiness. I ordered from a different online company for sushi grade tuna and salmon before and the quality was just okay. I am glad I won't need to do that anymore because I will be going here from now on. AND the price point is very reasonable here for what you're getting. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to make sushi/poke at home!

We had breakfast in the Reading Terminal Market and found the Golden Fish Market stand. They specialize in everything seafood, expertly showcased in several display refrigerators. Whiting - $4.98/lb. Because we bought in bulk, we were given a discount. They even cleaned the cooler of fish within 15 short minutes! When I returned to pick them up, they had it neatly packed in a flat styrofoam box and topped with bags of ice. SERVICE: You'd expect the staff to be curt and rude but they were the complete opposite. Everyone was friendly, professional and extremely patient (especially with the numerous phone calls we did while trying to decide on how much to buy). OVERALL: Seafood fanatics, rejoice!

My usual fishmonger (at the Rittenhouse Square Farmers Market) didn't have oysters yesterday, and I…read morewanted 2 dozen for a dinner party. I went here, was taken aback by the choice of "open" or "live" oysters, but assured the live ones were closed. The staffer who counted and bagged them didn't pay much attention to them. When I arrived home 20 minutes later and opened the bag the smell was truly overpowering. I immediately picked through and washed them individually. Almost all were in fact slightly open. The smell was horrible. All $35 worth had to go in the bin. I'll not be back.

The 15 lbs of Salmon came in convenient (approx.) 1 lb portions. With my first lb (I have gotten 3 lbs so far) here's what I made: Karen Flam's "Grilled Gravlax". Since I hadn't the time to do a proper "cure" here's what I did: Dry-rub the clean, thawed salmon with: 1.5 tsp. Penzey's Shallot Salt 1 tsp. Penzey's Vanilla Sugar (yes, really) A few healthy shakes of granulated Garlic A few cracks of fresh black pepper LOTS of fresh or dried dill. Then, squeeze on the juice of one (or two) fresh lemons, or use 3-4 TBSP of bottled lemon juice. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4-6 hours (I couldn't wait any longer) - ideally - cure longer (and add some juniper berries - I didn;t have any). Heat a skillet with 1-2 tsp of good olive oil and pan-grill (or use a real grill or grill pan). I seared mine (First with skin side down, then flipped and seard the flesh side). Slice thinly and serve. Do not over cook! My 6 year old gobbled up the small slice I gave her and asked for more right away. She proceeded to eat about 4 oz!

Finding whole live crabs in the area has been quite the challenge for me this summer. I've tried places like Anastasi and Phil, but their prices are just way too high. I decided to give Dawn a try. I called her and asked how much it was for a dozen of her smallest, and she told me $15, which is pretty darn good, so I went. When I got there, I didn't realize it was a food truck, but it was still easy enough to find as she has an awning and the truck clearly says "crabs" on it. She pulled out a huge basket of shelled beauties and, as I described to her that I like the bodies and not just the legs, she told me that these guys were doing to have good stuff on the inside and that you can tell by the darker color(I never knew!). I brought my dinner home, cooked them up in a special secret crab sauce (I'll never tell!) and as I cracked the first one open, I was oh so happy. They were full and delicious and everything I dreamed they would be. I realize that the proprietor doesn't catch the crabs, and they also don't really control which ones they get, but I can tell you that these were very very good. They were small (I asked for the smallest ones) but when your goal is to sit there for hours eating crabs, the small ones are better for me. I usually go to the Vietnamese grocery store by me for crabs, as they equate to about $1 each, and while they are larger than Dawn's, they are nothing compared to the flavor and insides of hers. Dawn has my business from this point forth. Forget the other places, come here. Keep up the good work!
