Waltham Fresh Fish and Prime

I keep coming back to this place year after year because the fish and chips is something like $ 10 and it’s super tasty, satisfying and LARGE!
The owners have always been super friendly and the turnaround time for orders is amazingly fast– very professional.
One thing that’s also pretty cool is they carry boutique sodas and juices.

Oh my goodness… do NOT go there.
So my fiancée and I have always known that this owner has a chip on his shoulder (he’s incredibly rude, dismissive, etc) but we’ve kept coming back as much as it pained us because his Tilapia is quite good. That’s of course until what we experienced today.
Ahead of us in line were to older black women, likely Ugandan. Their English was fine although you could tell that they are not originally from this country. He’d already weighed their fish, stickered it, and taken it to the register. The two little old ladies asked «sir, how much do we owe you?» which he just completely ignored the first and second time they inquired. The third time they asked he dismissively answered with «Obama’s over there» and pointed to the other end of the store. Of course that response made no sense, but I think they wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and wandered over aimlessly to the direction of his pointing looking for this mystery price on other side of the store. They asked him again and he pointed away saying «Obama’s over there».
It still didnt make sense but it was apparent that he was not being respectful — he’d stickered the items. He knew the price. He was going wayyyy out of his way to be disrespectful. At that point my fiancée had enough of it and stepped in to say something along the lines of «Why are you being difficult? These women are old enough to be your mother and they just want to know the price and noone understands what you mean by Obama». The situation quickly escalated to the guy saying we should mind our own business and that he doesn’t «want to do business with trash like you». So at this point he’s lumped me, my fiancée, and those two older women into what he’s termed as «trash». How my fiancée kept his cool is beyond me, but we made it very clear that we’d do our best to let people who patronize him have some insight into his feelings about «trash like us»…which I’m taking to mean black customers… which gives some context into our experience over the years in dealing with him.
Like I said earlier, his fish is quite good, but I’m urging people to not do business with this guy. If you are a close friend or family member of his — maybe take some time to coach him. He’s not doing anyone favors — people are PAYING to do business with him and with that in mind he should operate respectfully.
I’m of course not a close friend or family member of this miserable man and will never be shopping there again.

Wow. Freshest fish ever.
We bot a piece of catfish, added a little seasoning and tossed it on the grill. Probably the best fish we’ve ever had!
And the prices are really good too.
Keep it up George!

We love the fried whole fish here! It’s a little salty but it’s goes well with salad or rice !

I just called them 3 time and there was no answer at all. What kind of business is this? Who doesn’t answer at 7pm on a Thursday when they close at 10?

Love this place!
I was walking down Moody St. one day looking for some where to get a quick bite to eat when i looked down the street and saw this giant neon sign which reeled me in.
This place has everything! Tons of seafood dinners, cold subs, hot sandwhiches, appetizers, and deserts. I ended up going with the Lamb and Beef Gyro with a side of fries. Probably one of the best gyros ive had and the fries were really good too. My mom reallly likes the friend fish dinner she always orders it with her friends.
My family always come here to get seafood and other meats and grocerys whenever theres a big dinner like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Owners are Greek so they have a bunch of stuff thats harder to find somewhere else. Owners are also really nice everytime i come in and are quick to help me out.

This place is nasty!
I ordered fish with rice and beans and as I waited, I walked around the shop. They have a number of items so I decided to take a look at some of them. The majority of packages were filthy — some pasta bags and bottles had a dusty sticky film on them. Of course, this made me curious and I started looking for expiration dates — no joke, there were salad dressing bottles with «use by» dates from 2011!!! Usually when I find one or two of these «expired» products I bring them to the owners attention but there were a number of products that were expired so this is negligence on the part of the business owners.
This should have clued me in to the quality of the cooked food but instead I paid for my food and left. The fish was soft and mushy. The rice tasted like smoke AND I found a body hair in my food.
Never again!

This place is quite the hidden gem. Its selection of foods and groceries is very unique and very good. Its far from a large store, but if your looking for a more of unique ethnic Greek product, you’ll find it here. There selection is amazing and I can always find something new that I want to try here.
Not only is this place great for finding unique grocery items, but you can also order food here such as fish, meat, subs, sandwiches, etc. The times that I have come here to order food its always been delicious. It tasted fresh, it was well prepared, and she made it to my liking and made sure that it was to my liking.
Then finally the owners of the store are very kind, always enjoyable to talk to, and they make you feel welcome. If your looking for a great place to find great Greek food, you def have to come and give this place a try, you will not be dissapointed.

Wanted something fried and passed by this place a few days earlier.
I ordered the clam belly platter, it was good, the french fries were the best part. My boyfriend ordered the fisherman’s platter… the fish was rather gross, you could tell it was frozen, there was no flakiness of the meat once you split the fish apart. :(
Overall just OK, just kind of a random hole in the wall place.

I’ve read the negative reviews… I don’t know about that… they had really good catfish and I started getting takeout every weekend while living in Waltham. (No tables, but they also deliver).
Big tasty portions (for like $ 7 or $ 8) and always greeted with a «How are you my friend» from the owner in back doing the cooking. His wife was nice to me as well, and encouraged me to try a small piece of goat meat she carved off and heated up for me… never had goat before and it was actually pretty good… but catfish is so hard to find in New England so that is what I always got. One girlfriend (who is something of a foodie) really loved the grape leaf roll they had, said they were excellent. Don’t know it’s called, but if you like that sort of thing, apparently they are excellent.
If you like catfish go in and check it out… decide for yourself. My kids and several girlfriends liked it.

Food poisoning!!! I purchased some clams to make a nice pasta linguine dinner. After a few bites of the food, I realized that my clams didn’t smell quite right. It was too late — my stomach was so upset in the next few hours. Gross! Do not shop here!

I stumbled upon this new place, as it located right next to the post office, on a side street off of Moody. The owners are super friendly and the food is high quality. They always have homemade soup hot for take out, and the spinach pies are amazing (ask them to heat it up). Nice greek import goods and the seafood and meat looks really good as well. I reccomend stopping n for some authentic foods and you will be treated like family!
