Many people enjoy the interaction that we engage in at the post office, the gas station, the barber shop, the butcher, the fruit store, etc. Here there seems to be a very definite history of the great staff members moving on, sometimes with little or no notice, and it has impacted the comfort level for me, and for many of the people who also frequented the store. The product has been good, at times excellent, but the overall experience has been greatly diminished by some real nice people who were employed there leaving. I don't feel the same joy supporting a business that seems to have a pattern of upsetting what appears to be excellent employees, and this is by no means a negative statement on the new people who come in to replace the one's who leave. I sure the new ones are very nice too. It all just creates this sense of sadness and negativity about and towards the ownership and overall establishment. I guess in life some of us reach an age, or a point, where what we put in our body has to do with more than the food itself. It connects to the vibe, the humanity factor, the trust, etc. I have stopped going to Local 130 after the last person left, almost without exception. And I am a customer who was there a minimum of once a week for several years.

This is my second review. First one wasn't good and unfortunately this one isn't much better…read more My husband stopped by looking for whole fish, which they happily had but it was larger than he wanted so he opted to buy me lunch since I work nearby. The issue is that the sandwiches sound delicious on the menu but the reality doesn't live up to my expectations. My husband order some spicy Mexican inspired fried catfish sandwich for himself and a fried scallop sandwich for me. The sandwiches presented well but both lacked flavor, salt & seasoning in general. Even the soups; one was supposed to be red lentils but looked mostly yellow lentil and again desperately needed salt for one and would have been improved with additional seasonings. Whoever made the manhattan clam chowder got the recipe correct. It was the only thing that was tasty without needing alteration. The owner is nice and after my first poor review offered to make me a replacement but I didn't take him up on the offer. If they only get it right while someone is watching over their shoulder, what's the point. It is NOT a cheap lunch so to be disappointed is a real bummer. Better to stick with the raw seafood items or some prepackaged items (hummus & great flatbreads).

Our hotel didn't have the tools we needed to prepare any of the gorgeous fresh fish in the counter but we loaded up on prepared foods and dried goods. The fruitti di mare was awesome, just like my Grandma used to make! The octopus salad was dynamite as well, all super fresh, and delicious. We snagged some caviar as well, made for a perfect picnic at our hotel. Everything is impeccably fresh, their prepared seafood salads are next level. Not only do they have an incredible array of fresh fish, but their shelves are also stocked with a thoughtful selection of dried goods, sauces, spices, and specialty items. So glad we stopped in and keep kicking out the awesome content Mark!

We ordered half a bushel of LARGE male crabs on Saturday, and unfortunately, what we received was…read morenowhere close to what we expected. The box contained a mixture of sizes, with several crabs being noticeably smaller than what we ordered and paid for. I completely understand that crabs can vary somewhat in size, but there is a difference between a few variations and ordering large male crabs and receiving a box with so many smaller crabs. If I wanted mixed-size crabs, that's what I would have ordered. I actually called to address the issue, and I was told to bring the crabs back. The problem is that this was purchased for our last girls' night of the summer. My best friend, my cousin, and I split the half bushel between us, and we do not live in the same city, so bringing the entire order back was simply not realistic. I wasn't expecting special treatment--I just expected to receive what I paid for. Once we realized the size of the crabs, it was extremely disappointing, especially because this was supposed to be a fun evening together. The picture speaks for itself. We paid for large male crabs, and I don't feel like that is what we received. I'm leaving this review because customers should be able to trust that when they pay for a specific size, that is what they're going to receive. Please check your order carefully before leaving, especially when ordering by size. Unfortunately, after this experience, I would not order from here again.

Best part was finding the premium meats. A5 Wagyu, pichana steaks, sweetbreads, elk and bison meat just to name a few things. They also sell marinades, condiments, frozen fruit and vegetables. Beverages and salad toppings too. It's literally your local grocery store but better! This is the spot to grab proteins you need ahead of time for that BBQ you're planning or that family feast you will host. The variety is really the draw here. I saw lobster tails, scallops by the pound and coolest part, pre-made frozen goods for those that just want to thaw and reheat. That is great for when you didn't plan your meals ahead. I highly recommend this market for finding the unique, the premium, or for your everyday groceries. The model is simple: flash frozen, freshly sealed, and shipped or in this case, delivered to your local store. They own farms themselves, have huge bunkers and they work with the locals to source the goods.
