This is the worst grocery store. There is clearly no management that is worth their paycheck at this store for years. If any regional or corporate management ever actually visited this store they would be appalled. Avoid.

I stand by my original review. Over the years when visiting Homer, Safeway is your only choice for…read moremost items. Today they were out if bagged ice. Thats a big problem during fishing and camping season. The store is perpetually out of things, which is a real problem when you are remote and the only choice. That is a reflection of poor management and planning. Anyone who looks at seasonal fluctuations should know what to expect. I believe what part if the problem is shipments coming to Alaska are very limited and they don't have a storage place to pull from. They, and other smaller grocers should really pull together to find a way to address this issue, because Safeway is not the only grocery that faces this problem with running short of perishable items in between shipments. Get it together guys.

I just want to say thank you to Coal Point for an exceptional experience with packaging our fish. I…read morehad contacted them the day before our scheduled charter and they were very informative and told me to just give them a call as soon as our boat comes in and they would meet us at the dock with the totes. I informed our captain that we would be utilizing Coal point fish processing so they let them know 20 minutes prior to arriving at the docs and the worker was there waiting for us to pull in to retrieve our fish. I gave him my name my number and off he went. The next day, I called in to make sure that the fish would be ready for pick up as we were heading out of Homer that afternoon. When I was ready to pick up the fish, they pulled it out of the freezer and found the best way to have it packaged to be sent home. We were not leaving till the following day and overnighting in Anchorage. As I did have a cooler with me but our fish weighed 45 pounds and with the cooler it would have been over what is allowed for a bag through the airlines without incurring overweight charges so they suggested to ship it in a box and ensure that it would stay frozen for 36 hours, which gave us enough time to overnight in Anchorage and fly home to Hawaii without being thawed. Because we arrived in Anchorage so late we did not have an opportunity to put it in a freezer overnight, but when we reached home and opened the box and cooler that Coal point had packed for us, all the fish was still rock solid. We were also staying on Homer spit so earlier in the day. I did stop by to check out the location prior to having to come back later to pick up our fish overall such a great experience and I will definitely recommend them to friends and family and also would utilize them again if I ever came back.

The town needed a store. A meeting was held: The Children smelled of mudflats , the women smelled of hydraulic fluid and boat bilge, and a fish jumped out if a mans rubber boot , and a volunteer stepped up. The owner of the store needed a wife, so goes the story, he wooed a damsel across the pacific in the Philippines. The time came to meet the dad and tie the knot. He travels the sea to the Philippines, meets the father and his mail order wife to be and....... she says ......uhmmmm. I've changed my mind. BUMMER DUUDE! Her Sister , " Ta-Ta" pipes up ..., "I'll marry you" We now have Ta Ta, manning...oops, Wo-manning the store. The store is decorated with her children's water color renditions of living in the bay. From toothbrushes and knives. To pots and pencils. From tomato paste and chili powder to rice noodles for stir fry. ( check, sesame oil for the fry) Baking powder , cream of tartar, muffin runs to limes for your corona. Is it Safeway fresh. Well, on ship day YES..,, The selection dwindles some in between ferry trips to/from the Road system. Linoleum artwork on the floor, wood shelves with at least ONE of everything. Do you want dill pickles for that peanut butter pickle sandwich ? They got em. You might take the last, or only, jar, but they got em. We stopped flying down our own food when we realized we didn't have to. Besides... Support local or loose it! After a few years of patronizing the crab pot, my wife said to the clerk/owner..... " are you Ta-Ta?" Says she" Yes, I'm the sister"

When you are in a "food desert" of sorts it is super nice to be able to grab a necessary item if you need it. Maybe that is a sweet treat you are craving or rice to complete a meal.

My suggestion is to not rely on the store for your needs when you travel to Seldovia but know it is there if you need it.

Horrible customer service, I never need to be reprimanded by a, what seems to be super unhappy, deli guy. I asked to speak to a manager and the guy at the other counter said he was a manager, however, didn't really seem to care about what I had just experienced.

I ordered King crab legs and scallops ($813.38 total) for overnight delivery for our Christmas eve…read moredinner. Order was placed a week before. They were expensive, but understand they were very good. They shipped the day before, ended up going through Fed Ex. I found out the 'day of' that my shipment would not arrive in time. I had to go out and buy more - at higher prices because before Christmas. That was ok, these things happen - not sure if shipper or Tanner's saving money on Fed Ex - didn't matter, I was the customer and ordered to get this on time for Christmas eve dinner. Tanners rep was very insistent that I check and take pictures of the shipment when it arrived so they could take care of insurance. I did take pictures for them - received shipment about a week late and it smelled so bad that I had to dispose of it. The main issue was - I did get a refund but not a full refund of my USD - shorted my original amount - was 813.38 and got 790.93 less than that and no product, just the hassle of being told I will not be refunded if I did not send pictures and threatening e-mails that I must not refuse the shipment when it arrives. Issue with this company. 1. Does not refund your full amount - buyer beware - you can end up getting nothing and may not get a refund if you refuse the shipment (per company statement) 2. Small apologies - for the delay did't really care- not for the miss of the promised delivery for Christmas eve. 3. Not even a coupon or credit to buy more at a discount. 4. When it happens, they threaten you that you must take the shipment, open it up, take pictures and send or refund is null and void - even if the item was obviously 5+ days late 5. When I responded back in text and requested the payment difference on the amount -shorted (sent a picture) I received no reply to the text even though responses were very quick earlier. You may say, oh - ok, you did get a majority refund so don't complain, but the time I spent on this on the phone and e-mails back and forth was not worth the order in the first place.

November 9, 2025 It has taken me some time to write this…read morereview of Tanner's Alaskan Seafood. I ordered Salmon Roe, Alaskan Venison Sausage, Alaskan Smoked Halibut, Smoked Jalapeno Salmon Spread, Alaskan Smoked King Salmon Traditional Flavor, King Salmon Bellies, and Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Premium Portions. I will describe the products in the order we tried them. We tried the first five items the first week we received the package. The last two we tried yesterday and today. After trying the first five, I lost interest in trying more but yesterday I thought I would try brining the roe. 1. Smoked Halibut. Awful. They overly brined the halibut and did not smoke the fish. I took one bit and spit it out. No smoke flavor. It was mushy and salty beyond belief. Opened another package same problem. All went in the trash. 2. Smoked King Salmon. Very little smoked flavor or salmon flavor. There are several things that can cause that. 3. Smoked salmon spread. Impossible to tell exactly what it was. Did not taste like salmon and had just the slightest smoke flavor. Went in the trash. 4. Sockeye Portions. Average quality. We fried those okay. 5. Venison sausage. Tasted like the cheap sausage you can find in any convenience store or truck stop. It was impossible to tell what it was by taste. Went in the trash. 6. Salmon roe. Opened the package and the eggs were very small and all were very mushy. I brined the roe but it was impossible to remove the eggs from the skein (the membrane that holds the eggs) because it was all mush. Went in the trash. I still have one bag of roe left. 7. King Salmon Bellies. All bellies had fins attached. It is a common and accepted practice to remove the fin when the fish is filleted. There was a total of 9 pieces in the last package. The pieces I received were small. Below is a picture of pieces in the last package we had left which had not been fried. I put a tape beside the pieces to show how much meat we actually received. You can fry the bellies and remove the fin easier after they are fried. They tasted great. My point with the salmon bellies is that what I received is nothing as Tanner advertises in their picture below of salmon bellies (on their website). I spent around $500 for the product. I lived in Alaska for 18 years. I went all over the state fishing and many times fished various places on the Kenai Peninsula, which is where Tanner Seafood is located. I had a 206 on floats used it a great deal fishing in the 12 years I owned it. I bought seafood from other business in Alaska. I know what good quality seafood is and this from Tanners was the worst I have experienced from any Seafood business in Alaska. I suppose the risk of buying online and receiving what I received is more common these days because what recourse does anyone have except write a review; especially when you live 2000 miles from the seller. Notice on their website, they have positive reviews but go Yelp and you will read many more negative reviews.
