H & H Fresh Fish

For the last four years, I bought my fish exclusively from H&H. I moved to California four years ago from the East coast. The fish was fresh and delicious. I had a toxicology study done before I left the East coast for other reasons but my doctor suggested I have another suspecting mercury poisoning. Lo and behold, I have mercury poisoning and the only way I could have gotten it is by eating H&H fish.

They used to bring high quality fish to the Farmers Market on California Avenue, but the quality and service has progressively deteriorated over the last year. Now the prices are seldom displayed and the fish is not labeled or mis-​labeled.
We used to buy the Poke, and found it tasty and fresh; now it is old and heavier levels of sauce and spice are added to cover it up.
One of the market vendors told me that they had stopped trading for fish, but I remained loyal and was willing to pay the premium prices to support a vendor who we had patronized since the market began.
Still, we had become increasingly wary about what we purchased. Yesterday was the end for me. The very expensive flounder was clearly quite old — the flesh was breaking down. and though it didn’t smell bad, we couldn’t eat it all.

The best fish in California!

Great people and great fresh seafood. They have the freshest seafood, I guess it’s because they buy direct from a lot of the local fishermen

Got their smoked salmon from the Live Oaks farmers market, it was awesome! I’ll definitely be back for more.

Food poisoning. :(My partner and I both tried the oysters at the farmer’s market this weekend. They were delicious and plump and minerally. 8 hours later… what a nightmare. Vomiting, arms & legs tingling, fever, the works.

We bought some fresh black cod that was caught locally (in Moss Landing) and sold by H&H. It was fresh, buttery and fantastic. We prepared it in a savory Wine-​Miso sauce and … awesome.

There aren’t enough stars to describe how incredibly awesome and fresh H&H’s fish is. Nothing else comes close.
I buy from H&H at the Grand Lake Farmers Market in Oakland. They’ve spoiled me for any other source, and I’m incredibly grateful for the hard work they do to bring such beautiful fish to us city folks.

Moved to the south bay from Alaska where there is no shortage of outstanding fresh fish, unfortunately the same can’t be said for the choices around here, until we found H&H! We are so happy to pick up the excellent quality, sustainably sourced fish every week at the Campbell Farmer’s Market. The fish and service never fail to please and we have enjoyed MANY fine meals thanks to H&H! Thank you so much!!!

Great, high-​quality local seafood and friendly service. Prices are competitive with other local vendors. Heidi and the gang are simply awesome!

I was in need of some REAL fresh fish… these guys made it happen! I hit them up at the Felton Farmers Market and my dinner turned out WONDERFUL. The Sashimi was great and the Halibut was perfect… thanks guys. Let me know when you get some Blue Fin Tuna!

Ah, H&H… if you were to dream up the perfect local fresh fish hook-​up, family owned and run by two of the friendliest, smartest, sexiest, most helpful and hardworking people… and their baby… they would be IT. Yes, that’s right. Hans and Heidi are the power couple, holdin’ it down on the bomb fish front, with the help of fish-​slanger-​extraordinaires Evan, Brad, Dereck & Tessa (learn more about the heros behind the fish:
