Walked in to get oysters and shrimp. The seafood smelt amazing and was so fresh. The owner was very welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend will be going there again.

Awesome service and spot-on recommendations. Attentive and accurate with suggestions. Loved the recommended oysters and was really surprised with the weekend email responses. This place should be a staple and will be for this local!

I went to Pickford’s to buy some Atlantic Cod for a dish I planned to make that night. They were out of cod! Was there another fish I could buy in place of the cod that would work with the cream sauce it bakes in? They only had Rockfish, which I was unfamiliar with. It was described as sweet and delicate. So I had to decide — go to a supermarket for uncertain cod or try the fresh Rockfish. The answer was clear. I bought the Rockfish and indeed it was delicious as a fish and in the sauce. Last month i bought some Salmon from Scotland and it was the best I have ever had. So Pickford’s is two for two; I really am looking forward to my next purchase there. Thank you Will(the owner) for your help because I am not a confident cook and am very glad I took the risk to try something new.

While visiting the area and wanting to cook a seafood meal in the condo, I saw a review saying this place had the best crab cake. Althou the sales guy went on and on bout how they prepared it, I was very disappointed. Although it had plenty of crab, Something about the texture it was more like a biscuit than a traditional cake. I’d also change the $$ rating to a $$$$. when buying fish u expect it to be pricey so when I saw only 2 $$ thought it would be REASONABLE. $ 15.99 for an 8 oz smoked salmon spread which was good but really. The rest of the fish some offerings unordinary like tuna, sea bass, while fresh, was all over $ 15.99 a pound leaving me to believe a local grocer would probably hav most of the same cheaper.

Pickford’s recently started selling hand cut beef and since I love the seafood there I decided to give this a chance. Like the seafood the beef was excellent. I got five ribeye’s that were individually vacuum packed. Upon opening I noticed they seemed more tender to the touch than other steaks I had gotten at the grocery store and had nice marbling. The steaks grilled up very nice and everyone at my dinner table commented on how good they were. I would definitely order these again! A side note, as far as I know, the beef products are currently a pre-order only item so you will need to order ahead instead of just swinging by the store.

Always in for a treat whenever I come by. Don’t be fooled by the small storefront, this is definitely the best fishmonger I have visited in the area. Will is incredibly knowledgeable about all that he offers, and the selection is really great. Sign up for his newsletters to get a weekly list of what fresh fish he has to offer. The selection is truly spectacular, with Will offering fresh specialties from far away. This is my go to place for oysters in particular, with some from even as far as Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, as well as local varieties. In the summer he has blue crabs also which I haven’t yet had the chance to try.

Excellent seafood from a friendly man who knows his fish. The Texas shrimp for $ 14/lb is a steal.

3rd year in a row we have used Pickford’s for both our New Years Eve party and our Autumn Crab Boil. Their seafood and service CANNOTBEBEAT! The owner is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, always goes above and beyond to make his customers happy. We have tried a huge selection of what they offer and have not been disappointed yet, he even turned us on to some new stuff we had never heard of before, as usual, he was right and it was delicious!

The owner is very knowledgable and his customer service is impeccable. I called him for Monkfish on Tuesday. He didn’t have any, so he ordered a pound for me & called me to let me know it was in. Any other person would’ve just told me they didn’t have any and hung up the phone. He’s a very nice guy. I’d definitely shop here again & I’d surely recommend getting your seafood @ Pickford’s.

I’ve been driving by this place for a while and finally decided to stop in. What a great surprise. This is a very helpful place with an amazing selection of seafood you really cant find anywhere else. I used to live in a large city and never saw the types of fish in Pickford’s case. The selection is small, but well chosen, and changes each week, so this is a great place for adventurous cooks who are always looking for new things to try. The owner was incredibly knowledgable about his selections and the best methods for cooking each fish. Everything looked and sounded so good, it was difficult to decide what to get. We ended up getting a fillet of Blue Moki, a pacific fish I’d never heard of before, and two types of oysters. The oysters were local and tasted amazing, and the fish was one of the best I’ve ever had.
