"This review is for the Holiday Pre-Order experience only. Our family has been a long time fans of the place- always fresh and unique products, courteous team. The prices are on the high end, but we always felt it was totally worth it. Until I have placed an order for the NYE celebration- to say it was a disappointment is not to say anything. Traditionally, when we buy oysters from their store we are asked if we need it shacked and then placed on tray, on ice. Very nicely packed, suitable for transportation and presentable to the table straightaway. I was receiving the email notification that "they are still accepting NYE Holiday orders " - to my understanding, they had orders but within capacity. What was my surprise when I came to pick up my order in was given to me in a bag, not a tray. When I asked if the oysters were shacked, I was shown a bag of shells and a plastic container with all dozen oysters "jarred" together. We had 2 dozens of oysters, and 6 clams and all were packed the same manner. We were told that "this is how the Holiday order is done". If I was informed about it at the time I called - I would have shacked my oysters myself,buying it from another store for half the price. We were on our way to the party and clearly couldn't bring it that way. When we "assembled " in the way we were instructed- it was dry and flavorless. The cost of each oyster is equal to the cost at the restaurant, but this was not a restaurant experience. Very disappointing."

"Much respect and appreciation to Collin @ MetroSeafood. Expertly cut and organized our Sashimi night. Metro delivers time and time again."

"Stunning fresh fish, top notch service, and filled with regulars. Fine dining items, frequently busy, and outdoor lines before major meal holidays (like Christmas). A regional star and an essential establishment for quality products."

"The quality and variety of fresh seafood and sushi grade fish is incredible. The service just puts this place over the top. Incredible! Just sad I didn't get to ask the fish mongers names that were helping us scale and portion our haul! Great oyster selection. Gorgeous softshell crabs. Fresh sardines and whole Japanese madai! I'm glad I took the 45 minute drive to load up for mothers day! Thank you guys so much!"
