Many choices and oysters are a great price. It wasn't as fancy as expected by the website. We had kinda hoped for a "farmers" fish market but it really wasn't that. It's basically a local spot to pick up fresh fish at better than WG grocery prices. They do have more choices and prices are decent. read more

Great store; a bit tucked away, be on the look out for signage. Staff is very professional and the selection of fresh fish is very good. Picked up a beautiful whole Branzino, very fresh and cooked up nicely. read more

We used to order the sashimi platter without an issue the day of or day before and they have always been able to prepare the order for pick up. Called today to order and the girl on the phone was rude - she told me those orders need to be placed two weeks in advance. I explained to her that we had ordered from here the same day many times before without an issue. She told me "well I'm the only one here and I don't know how to cut fish so don't know how to help you" Won't be returning read more

The fish are not the ones you normally see and they cook well, fresh service is friendly

Fresh seafood delivered to your door. A wide variety of fish and shellfish. They also have spices and marinades to flavor most fish. My family loves to enjoy the salmon tails read more

Wow I am so happy and lucky to get really fresh fish!!! I love sashimi grade tuna and salmon. You don't go to sushi restaurant any more, because you can get the best quality sashimi at Dry Dock Fish Co!!!! I like to make my own hand roll sushi with my family. My family also love their ceviche!! Shrimp one has more jalapeño and salty than fish one. I like fish one better. But both of them are really delicious!! And don't forget the tortilla chips you must get at the same time!!! read more

Visited their booth at Torrance farmers market - The lady working there was extremely kind and easy to talk to. We purchased 4 oysters that were plump and yummy, and she taught us how to open them with just a screw driver (common item) instead of a shucker (we don't have one :(. ) read more

The dis g is always amazing and Fresh. Picked up some halibut the other weekend and it was superb.

The freshest salmon I have ever tasted in my life! I've eating at some $$$ and $$$$ rated restaurants on yelp and being a home cook, I have never had salmon so buttery cooked before myself. Better yet by my own hands! The salmon also had a hint of fresh sea water with each bite. Crazy tasting sea food for sure. If you want to impress a date or have an amazing quality dinner at the same price (give or take) from major chains such as Trader Joes, wholefoods and etc. then give the never before frozen salmon a try. I haven't been disappointed with them before after trying numerous items. Only item I wished from them were to have fresh octopus. I think they served only frozen, which unfrozen I get at h-mart (yet again, ill rather get what items I can at Dry Dock) Amazing quality here! read more

Love this place! If you want great quality fish, this is the spot. We usually get the sushi grade ahi and whole branzino. It's a lot pricier than other seafood markets but it's worth it to me imo. It's cleaner and the fish look a lot better than the fish you would find at an Asian seafood market. Double check best by dates though because I've gotten a few that we're "best by" the same date I bought them. read more

This place is a gem. Fish is always so fresh and great prices. My family only goes here when we do home made sushi. We often get the salmon sushi grade and have always enjoyed it. Parking is tiny but they're never busy so it's easy to get in and out. They have a ton of options, you can always call if you have any Qs and they're very helpful! read more

Confessions of a Fish Snob. Not an unusual day, just reading some of my Yelpy friends' dissertations, talking fish talk. Interesting. Dry Dock Fish Co. Intriguing enough for me to go to their website like Bob T said. And there it was....the word, "swordfish". I forgot to breathe. Me and swordfish go way back. Struggling to make ends meet some 25 years ago, there was a tiny Japanese fish market, name long forgotten, in Fullerton. Fullerton was where I commuted each day to my humble office cubical. And a couple of times a year, the owner would personally call me (shhhh...on my work phone, no less) and say the magic words, "fresh swordfish steak". That was when I would start searching under the car seats, into the deep crevices of my purse, and maybe cash in a low-yield government bond or two that were meant for my kids' college fund, then scurry on down to procure me some of the butteriest swordfish steaks known to man. Well, sadly that place is long gone. And since then, I have never been able to duplicate their quality. What I didn't know back then was, less than a mile away was Dry Dock Fish Co. Yes, they have been around that long. And they too sold that beautiful swordfish. But sadly, Yelp did not yet exist. So, I didn't know. Fast forward to 2013. Picture this, yesterday, me maniacally speeding down the freeway toward Fullerton. Unencumbered by job, salivating like a mad woman, I found them in a small industrial building, with freshly scrubbed stainless steel counters, wiping the glass inside their displays, hosing down the cement floors, broad smiles on their faces, and with only the smell of fresher-than-fresh seafood permeating the air. Clean! Clean! Clean! There is no more beautiful smell than the pure, clean smell of the ocean. You certainly cannot find that at groceries like Vons. And that is when I really went crazy. Well, let me re-phrase that. Mr. B and I went crazy. While I was grabbing up two swordfish steaks (all pink meat, no dark fishy streaks), a pound of smoked salmon and a little container of fresh seaweed salad, he was busy tossing a small container of smoked salmon dip, a 2 lb. filet of sushi grade Hamachi (frozen, from Japan), and two beautiful large chunks of sushi grade salmon with belly into our basket. We thought we were practicing restraint actually. So, one of the very approachable DDFC family members came out to talk to us. "So, you folks live around here?" Obviously not, and no doubt he had already figured that out. And apparently we did not scare him off with our eyes bulging out of our skulls and our tongues dragging on the (clean!) floor. We get that way, even after Halloween. Nice guy. Told us how they thoroughly check all their fish for harmful bacteria first. Then made sure we were well taken care of, getting us bags of ice to pack around the fish, giving us some wasabi and their homemade aspartame-free pickled ginger, and best of all, a free small jar of Lemon Lady's Moroccan Preserved Lemons (already known to us from the Farmer's Market in Vista). http://lemonlady.net/. Little did I know, this location is her home base, too. Yes, it did do damage to our credit limit. But not bad. The two of us have come close to spending that kind of money in one evening at our favorite sushi spot, and had no regrets. And this time, we got enough to also feed the descendants of this fish snob for several days. The rest of this weekend, we are eating like royalty. Ahhhhhhh. read more

Wowzer. I know they have all kinds of fish and seafood, but what I wanted to try most was their poke. And that's exactly what I did; got all 4 kinds of their poke and ceviche. There were 2 ahi pokes, and 2 salmon pokes. They were either their regular seasoned or sweet. Even though I think the Sweet Salmon poke is my favorite, I'll still get all of them next time around! What I love about their poke is that it's not drenched in sauces or sesame oil and you can actually taste the freshness and flavors of the fish. Most places I've tried always mask their poke with dressing. I'm so excited this place makes it exactly how I like it. I can see how some people would think it tastes too bland, though. So consider yourself warned... You can get poke by the half pound or pound. Unfortunately, they don't do poke bowls with rice anymore. They also have a variety of sushi grade fish which I will definitely have to come back for! And salmon...so much salmon...Everything looked amazing. First time at this place, while I know it's been here for awhile, the location looks new? Service was great, parking may be an issue if you come during busy hours. read more

Been there twice. First time I got some poke and some other items. Was pretty good. Second time I decided to order a small sashimi and some seaweed salad. Called to order on Friday for Sunday pickup (was told previously that the workers who cut the fish don't work on Sundays). When I got there on Sunday, was told that nobody made it. Not getting a order is bad enough, but at least I could have been called (was told she checked the order when she got in) that it wasn't made before I drove over. read more

Their fish is slightly overpriced but good. Honestly, I don't see myself getting poke here again but I would come to try out some of their other stuff. Would come again. read more

Came by this place this past Tuesday. I parked in their little parking lot right in front of the store (only 2 parking spots available, but I believe you could park on the street). Right when I walked in, I smelled a fishy smell, which is definitely not a good sign. Fresh seafood should not smell at all. Anyways, when I came in, I was greeted by the employee behind the display case. I decided to get the following: Ahi Tuna Poke ($15.95 per pound)- I got the mild/ sweet ahi tuna (they also sell a spicy version). I was quite disappointed with this poke. The texture was mealy and mushy, which I suspect is made of old fish. The poke sauce used itself was dry and seemed to have been missing something, but not exactly sure what. The flavor just wasn't there and was a bit bland. Salmon Poke ($15.95 per pound)- I got the spicy salmon poke (they also sell a mild/ sweet version). For the most part, the salmon used was probably a little fresher than the ahi tuna to make this poke. All I could really taste of the poke sauce used was spicy. The poke sauce itself did not have much flavor and was just very one dimensionally. With both the ahi tuna and salmon poke, I decided to make my own marinade of soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and minced garlic. Then I added it to both the poke and let it marinade for an hour. Then I baked both fish and it ended up tasting much better. And with the ahi tuna being baked, the texture was much better and you would not have known it was mushy and mealy before. Salmon Dip/ Spread ($8.95 per pound)- The dip is preportioned and so I decided to purchase two containers of it. The only reason why I am giving this place 3 stars instead of 2 is because of this dip. The salmon dip is quite creamy and better than other salmon dips I have had. There is also a lot of salmon used to make the dip, instead of the dip made mostly with cream cheese and sour cream. -------------------------------- (Total= $45 even) Overall, I am pretty unimpressed with this place and really had expected better. I would not recommend the poke and don't see myself coming back here again. By the way, there are no tables or chairs here so just keep this mind if you were planning on purchasing ready to eat food items and eating at it here. read more

The sashimi grade tuna, hamachi & salmon are amazing! Oysters, clams, mussels & ikura are available! It is truly amazing fish. I go every weekend! Kudos to Dry Dock & Megan. read more

Years ago, we found Dry Dock and have been getting our fish there ever since. The quality and selection are incomparable, and they care about their customers. Personally, I am addicted to the sashimi-grade salmon and ahi. We get a ton for for sashimi, and some to cook, pretty much every week. Before Covid, we used to make a weekly trip to the Fullerton store, but now we usually take advantage of the free overnight delivery, which arrives in a styrofoam chest, packed in ice. And they make sure we get those deliveries, even if they have to drive it to our house themselves. If you appreciate the highest quality and a terrific selection, Dry Dock is the place for you. And they go to Farmers Markets all over various So Cal counties. Find them there, or order via the website. read more

Great quality seafood! One of the few places that has oysters nearby. Just picked up some oysters, salmon sashimi, and calamari steaks. We're definitely coming back for freshly made tuna poke and crawfish tail meat. Amazing customer service!!!! read more

This place is horrible. Placed My order for live Maine lobsters for Father's Day. Guess what we got!!! NOTHING.

I've been going to dry dock for sashimi grade fish for easily the last 10 years. For a while when they open they used to operate out of their back door lol it was really funny to walk in almost kind of like you were up to no good ha ha Ha. Anyway the quality other fish are spectacular. I can't tell you how many times I've gone here just gotten some sushi, went and picked up some fresh rice and enjoyed some fish and rice with a little bit of soy sauce! read more

Great selection of fresh and frozen fish and seafood. Also now have steaks and pork chops, etc. super friendly and helpful!

Mediocre poke, terrible service. We came in today (2/17/19) to grab some cups of poke for lunch, probably around 12:30-12:45pm. It was empty, and when we opened the door- no noise from the back, nobody in the front, but the sign said "open". We walk in quietly and look at the cases, when an older, taller man came out to the counter (he was wearing a blue jacket, balding on top, mustached, and wore glasses) and seemed to be rather cross about something. We walk around looking at all the cases, seeing if there would be any exceptional finds. There wasn't. No big deal. We go to the main counter and say hello, and we get a curt "hello". We took our time looking at the cases, speaking among ourselves, while he stood there, looking annoyed or frustrated. I didn't like the vibe this guy gave off, and neither did my partner. While he didn't attack us in any way, his tone clearly felt like we were taking up HIS time. My boyfriend asked at some point, "how has it been today, a slow da-" before being interrupted with, "I have a lot to do today. Not many customers, but a lot to do in the back. Like a lot to do." We laugh it off uncomfortably. ...Okay? (I don't mind that he was not the cheeriest person in the room, but I feel disrespected as a customer when the only person representing your business is off-handedly rude in what little interaction we had; especially for it being my first time there!) We ask for two 1/2lb cups and proceed to checkout, where I'm just ready to leave with my lunch. I think to myself, "This guy is rude, but it's probably just a bad day, I'll let him have it." He fumbles with my debit card, having to do the process twice "because the reader likes to not do its job sometimes", before telling me my total at a level I couldn't hear. Like any other customer, I reciprocate with, "Huh? Twenty?", to clarify what he had said, and he goes loudly, "NINETEEN. FOURTY. SIX." like I'm an insolent child or something! Really? We finish paying and we walk out. Unfortunately, we should have left when we had, but turning the corner towards the alley I remember I had another question to ask him. My boyfriend goes inside to ask, where he's BLATANTLY ignored. He yells to the back, "Hello???", to no answer. He loudly called out four or five times! He could see the same guy standing in the back with his back turned towards us, and who refused to come up. We know he heard us, because his head twitched in our direction while being called out!! The at this point, it's clear to me our business is not welcome. What had we done, two quiet twenty-y/o's, to piss this guy off? I can't fathom why. We're not coming back to this store. The fish dishes we had were decent, but unspectacular. Nothing grand that would keep us coming back, but decent enough to try at least once. I had no major grievances, except the chunks were slightly on the mushier side. As much as I had hoped to support this business before I came, after today, I'm advising any of my friends or family to steer clear of this location. Whomever that man was, whether owner or worker, he is certainly NOT presenting your business in a way that will attract (and keep) new customers. read more

This is the best place to get ahi tuna that's comparable to Hawaii, and roughly the same price. The fish is not fishy and very firm. The only reason I docked them one star is because their poke sauce is okay, but the fish is really good. Really wish they can import a poke master from Hawaii to make ahi shoyu. I tried to make my own poke and failed hard read more

Not only they have the freshest seafood, the varieties just never ends, u got some hamachi Kama for bbq, amazing freshness!!! I must mention the lady service person is very knowledgeable and attentive to every individual, sharing cooking recipe and advise Customee with better deals, for example, I ask for 50 oysters and she recommend 60 in a bag for $56.

Bought .75# of Steelhead from my local (Encino) Farmers Mkt last Sunday. Jill was great, and the other guy at the stall was a weekly customer. Jill and he were great to listen too about what was available and what he was going to buy. He chose the Steelhead, because there was no Rainbow. I asked him how he was going to prepare it, and he waxed poetic about all the fish he buys weekly to eat 2x per week. Great Buying Experience. Tonight I cooked the Steelhead filet. Pan fried in olive oil and a wee bit of herbed butter. Salt and White Pepper. Forgot to season the meat side before I flipped it, so I flipped it back and seasoned, and continued to cook the skin side down. There are no words for how fresh, delicious, and "un-fishy" this amazing fish was. I may even start going to the Farmers Market just to get their fish!!! Thank You Dry Dock and Jill~! read more

This is a fantastic seafood shop. These folks are proper fishmongers that you see Ina Garten and Martha Stewart using in the Hamptons. Their fish comes in fresh daily, and they break down the fish themselves. The assortment they have is amazing, too. I find that I am so inspired when I walk in. They usually have prepared items available. The fantastic smoked salmon dip (great on a bagel, crackers, or veggies), ahi tuna and salmon poké, ceviche, seaweed salad, smoked salmon, lox, house pickled ginger, and house made fish stock are items you can get on a regular basis. With regards to fish, they always have sushi grade salmon and ahi tuna. I love how buttery their salmon is. Oysters, mussels, and clams can be had, too. I've seen a great variety of fish, too. Opah, branzino, rock fish, cod, trout. Much of the fish is cleaned and fabricated for cooking. They'll usually have one or two different types of whole fish, too. And if you ever want to make your own fish stock, they always have trimmings on hand. Shrimp, king crab, octopus and soft shell crabs can be found in their freezer section. The staff here is great, too. They're super helpful, and can make sure you get I walked in one day and asked for 14 6 oz portions of salmon skin removed. They were able to whip that up quickly. The best selection is always best in the morning. You can also call in and order ahead of there's something specific you want. So happy to have found this place. read more

What a true gem! I've been dying to hit up this place for so long & finally did since I was in the Fullerton area today. We were greeted with smiles & friendly service. The gentleman who helped us was welcoming and answered all of our questions. I was curious to know whether they catch their own fish locally, but he told us that they no longer do. He mentioned that the Opah they carry is shipped from Hawaii, the Ahi Tuna from Sri Lanka, & the octopus comes from the Philippines. They receive them whole, then they cut, package & sell them by the pound at their location. Dry Dock Fish Co. is a family owned business, with the Fullerton location being it's headquarters. However, they also supply fresh fish to restaurants between LA & San Diego, and supply 25 farmer's markets with fish per week in the SoCal area. Check their website to see when they'll be in your area. You can also find recipes on how to prepare and serve the types of fish they offer. We picked up a pound of the Ahi Tuna, which is sushi-grade & very fresh. Some other fish that they sell is Seabass, Ono, Trout, and Salmon to name a few. They also have a Fish Mix, which was a tuna & swordfish combo marinated with onions, cilantro, and other seasonings. Check their website for current selections & pricing. Also, they currently have a special if you check-in, you'll get their $8 Hawaiian poke cup for only $4! "It's okay to eat fish because they don't have any feelings." (Kurt Cobain) read more
