You might not expect it, but this place has product diversity. Despite the area. Of course there…read moreare plenty of Caribbean foods and products. But, other cuisines have entire shelves dedicated to Asian and central & South American foods and household items. Need a good tortilla press? They've got them. How about imported from the far east rices or spices? They've got that too. The staff is helpful and not on their cell phones. There's plenty of parking in their own parking lot. Prices are reasonable. The shelves are kept well stocked and faced off properly. Labels facing forward. It's well lit and the aisles are wide.

I didn't know what to expect from Associated, was pleasantly surprised! The store was spotlessly…read moreclean and orderly. Prices were normal and checkout fast and friendly. Crazy huge selection of Jamaican and Latin American foods, it seemed an entire aisle was dedicated to some fantastic Hot Sauce and curries. The produce wasn't the best but everything else looked fine and I was able to get everything needed conveniently close to home. Will return when I have more time to crack open a can of Big Bamboo Irish Moss Peanut have a good look around! ~first!~

Walked down a few blocks and found exactly what I needed plus lunch (sub sandwich for just $8.99, chips and diet coke). Found out that they make breakfast sandwiches and only $3.55 for egg, cheese and bacon on a roll. Add to it the owner is great! It only makes me want to go there more often. Just nice I don't have to hop into my car or use an on-line shopping service for a couple of items.

We had heard about this being a good fish market so we tried it Saturday August 30th. As soon as…read moreyou hit the main entrance your senses are assaulted with an overwhelming smell of what seemed like cat urine and fish. My wife started gagging immediately 2 steps inside so we took 2 steps outside. Our shopping trip here was over before it began. Shop at your own risk.

The entrance is in the back of the store, in an ample parking lot…read more We heard about the fish dept. through a casual conversation with a mutual acquaintance. So we went for a ride. The neighborhood is a little sketchy on Main St. Poughkeepsie, but don't let that put you off. Once inside you wend your way through a maze of aisles, going past rows of recognizable produce and exotic produce. There's loads of fresh herbs, several types of mushrooms, and vegetables. It's not fancy inside. The shelves carry mostly Caribbean and Mexican products, produce, and household items. But, there are also the same items you might find in a local supermarket. There are Asian items on the shelves as well. There aren't many fish markets up here, compared to the City. The fish section is quite impressive. Whole fluke, mackerel, gigantic porgies, and other whole fresh fish. Further down are fillets and seafood. There is no fishy smell anywhere. The clams close when tapped. Today I checked the eyes and gills of a few fish - clear and bright red. The way there supposed to be when fresh. Bring your own shopping bags.

Drove by the store twice this week and it appears to be empty. Per the website, the storefront is…read moreout of business. It looks as though they are transitioning to an online and pop-up/farmers' market model, which makes me sad, because I was looking forward to shopping there in person. I haven't had the chance to patronize them, and only gave one star to get this comment posted.
