"The fish is fresh, local, so tasty and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The locations for pickup are convenient and the ordering process is efficient. The website has photos of the products and the product has a photo and bio of the fisherman who caught the fish. I love the transparency, the commitment to supporting the local fishing community, and of upholding the belief that fresh, untainted, healthy fish is best! Thank you to all the staff and fishermen!"
