- Locale destination - It's very hard to find this spot: the sign got really pale colors and is hard to catch on your eyes. Also, it's located right next to the house, though it's facing on Commonwealth Ave. (Commonwealth & Cornell Ave in Fullerton.) I went back and forth a lot to find it ;( Don't expect it like a "Santa Monica Seafood" in Costa Mesa... It doesn't look like a "seafood" shop... It's more like "FISH MARKET". Nothing fancy in terms of decor and inside: The main entrance is open but nothing there at the front part of the store ( see my picture.). I used the side door because it said "Entrance"... Once you enter through the side door, you'll see their work area and a white board for the available fish. They'll take you to the fridge and freezer. (See my pictures). You'll see the shelves with fish and sea shells cut and packaged in small bags. They'll cut them even for the small portion - you don't need to buy the whole cut. They can even sell you only 2 pieces of great looking scallops ;) I've already got several other fish for my chirashi, so it was great I could get only a small piece of expensive fish ;) Very friendly staff. And ask questions - because some of the fish are not "sushi grade": you got to cook some fish, not to eat as a sashimi. (raw) If you don't wanna wonder what kind of fish you'll get on your visit, I do recommend to sign up for their email newsletter: info@drydockfish.com They take checks, not a credit card. - Gluttony expedition - All fish and sea shells looked amazing. Great quality. Tuna, scallop, halibut, snapper etc... All looked great. Yellowtail: $29/lbs. It's so worth it. It's a lot better quality than the ones from a Japanese market. - Conqueror's deduction - It's a great place for shopping seafood. Freshness, varieties, prices - all good with quality. Price isn't cheap (seafood is expensive everywhere) but you'll get a better quality for sure. I do feel the value. It's nice that they can sell by the small portion. Great for your sushi at your home!! read more

I am beyond stoked that They are taking in fish you catch to process again! Brought in two blue fin tuna about 102 lbs total to get filet and processed. They told me to wait 15 mins and they all went ham, processing my tunas and bagged everything into three steak size per bag.They left my toro in whole as I requested. Little pricey for 2.5 a pound but totally worth it! All I had to do was go home and vacuum seal everything read more

We were preparing a dinner and thought it would be a nice treat to have fresh oysters. I found this fish market through Yelp and did not disappoint. The shop is a bit small but very clean, and has a nice assortment of fresh fish, shellfish, etc. The Order: We order a dozen oysters, which tasted really fresh and clean. I shucked the oysters myself so I am not sure if they will shuck them for you. Pros: Nice assortment of fresh fish, and shellfish. They have some prepared foods like salmon and tuna poke. They also have some assorted sauces. Very clean. Staff is really friendly, helpful, and patient. Cons: If you're not careful you can drive right past the shop, and there isn't much parking. They have a couple of spots in front and then a few more in the back. Overall: I highly recommend coming here if you want fresh fish. Although we only had the oysters, we did infact try the tuna poke which was really good. I have also noticed that they sell fresh live uni. So I definitely want to try that out next time. read more

Dry Dock Fish Co - Fresh oysters - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fullerton, California

Good: Ancho Chile Salmon - very delicious, perhaps my favorite Salmon to date. I pan-fried the fish (skin side down) in a cast iron pan for 3 minutes and finished it in 400F oven for 17 minutes. Turned out perfect. Loved all the flavors - a hint of citrus, a little smokiness from Ancho Chile and the sweetness from Salmon. Scallops - not cheap but you get the quality you paid for. I simply pan-fried it in butter/olive oil to enjoy the flavor of scallops. Didn't need salt and pepper at all. Not so Good: They close at 5pm on a weekday which sucks for me since I work in LA and do not get to OC till 6pm. Note: They do not sell lesser known seafood like Ridgeback Shrimp, Pacific Saury or Mackerel. read more

Came here to purchase sushi-grade fresh Ahi Tuna. Can't go wrong with fresh seafood. I wanted to try making sesame seared ahi tuna and it came out amazing! The quality of the fish is on point. Much better than going to the supermarket, who knows how long the fish has been sitting there. It's not cheap but it is well worth it for the occasional treat! read more

Dry Dock Fish Co - My dinner made from fresh Ahi Tuna! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fullerton, California

Definitely a gem for anyone who loves quality seafood! Dry Dock offers a variety of fresh fishes, shellfish and crustaceans that changes daily based on what's available. Their sashimi grade ahi is delicious and has great texture. I typically pick it up for poke, seared ahi, or serve it up straight up sashimi style. Their yellow tail is also quite good. Prices are a bit high but nothing out of the ordinary for a trusted fish monger. The quality is worth the price and seafood is never something you want to try and find on sale. read more

Popped in for a peak for dinner without knowing what type of fish to get, they suggested some Halibut. Very fresh and delicious! Easy to cook, and the best part for me, NO BONES!!! Great recommendation on the Halibut. Will be back for more! Thanks Dry Dock! read more

Review is only for the poke! Accidentally bought the Groupon deal ($12 for 2 poke bowls) so finally had a Sunday free with my BF to stop by at this place. There is like 2 parking spots in front of the shop? We came in the afternoon so no one was there. Walked in and the place smelled of fish, but it should smell like that anyway! So walked right up to the display windows and saw that they had 2 trays of already prepared poke. So you have your choice of tuna or salmon in either the traditional sauce of the mild/sweet sauce. All the tuna was gone at the time so we had to get the salmon. It came on top of some chopped of cucumbers. Personally I thought the mild/sweet sauce had more flavor. The salmon was a little bit too slimy for me like it was overly sauced. Sadly the worst poke I've ever had... As for the service, there was one guy working out in the front. Not that friendly...didn't talk much. Gave us our poke orders and then that was it. Would I be coming back? Nope... read more

Dry Dock Fish Co - Traditional Salmon Poke Bowl & Mild/Sweet Salmon Poke Bowl ($12 Groupon Deal) - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fullerton, California

From the road, this place looks like it's under construction but that's to fool the other customers. The secret is that the entrance is through the side door. Once inside, you walk straight into the "market". It's a bunch of stainless steel tables with water hoses where people are working on the fish. I asked for the fresh of the day and they said everything (typical response). Anyhow, I asked where the fish was from and I got the halibut and oysters. Although the fish prices aren't the cheapest, I tried the halibut and I found it to be some of the best I've had (what you pay for is what you get). I'm a big fan of fresh top quality fish and I definitely will be coming back to try the other catches of the day. Similar to: This place sells a large section of "live" fish - Paradise Seafood in Rosemead. read more

This review is solely for their poke bowls. Poke bowls come with cubed cucumbers, not rice. I got the spicy salmon poke and it was flavorless. Not spicy, not salty. The cucumbers were also a little watery and the poke + cucumbers ended up being a little messy to eat. The fish was fresh but just lacked flavor. I had a groupon which was for 2 poke bowls & ginger. They ran out of ginger and offered me a bag of chips which was nice on their behalf. Service was excellent and the man who helped me was really nice. read more

Just noticed my review is super old and incorrect, so I wanted to update. They have a store front now with display cases, you don't have to go in the back anymore. They also take credit cards, which is very convenient. I just found out the other day that you can also buy their products on Amazon Fresh, which is super cool. They are on my way home from work, but sometimes I can't make it by the 5pm closing time, so I will most likely order on Amazon Fresh since we started using that service recently. Love their fish, I won't buy it anywhere else now. I have never been disappointed with anything that I have purchased from Dry Dock. read more

This is the Hole in the Wall Fish Market that masters in some of the best Tuna Poke I have tasted in the mainland. This place is tucked in a small area that you really have to look out for or you won't find it. That says a lot because I don't usually eat Tuna Poke, I prefer salmon poke. Their salmon poke is not too shabby as well. This place is definitely a love letter for people who love to cook seafood. *Tuna Poke - The difference about this tuna is it is super RED and marbled. I have not seen the color and grade of poke like this before. The taste is also damn great. It can be debateably the best Tuna Poke I have ever had. Again, I don't usually like Tuna Poke. I prefer Salmon Poke. **Salmon Poke - What I like about this poke is how they make it. I saw how they make it. They had premade salmon poke with just the onions and garlic. They didn't put the sauce on it yet. They only put the sauce on it when they were gonna prepare it for the morning. That's an interesting way. I might actually do that. ***Sushi Kit - This is about a $26 package that has everything you need to eat your own sushi and be able to cut it yourself. You have about a .5 lb of each Salmon, Tuna, and Yellowtail. It also comes with ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce. You are ready to go. This sounds like a great idea that other markets should be doing. Other market bring out that trash like California rolls and totally premade stuff. This kit sound more appealing to me. ****Fresh Fish - This is the only place that I have seen that says "Sushi grade salmon." I love how they promote the food to be eaten how it should be eaten. Of course I love sushi. They offer a plethora of fish, ceviche, king crab legs, branzini, and a bunch of spread. They have a lot that should just check out. I will definitely be back to get more fish to cook and more poke! read more

Best place to go for fresh sushi grade salmon and/or poke. Everyone is super friendly and helpful.

We wanted fresh seafood today to celebrate my husband's birthday. We found this place on Google. We bought crab legs, jumbo shrimp, cod loin and Chilean sea bass. We were put off initially by the fishy smell when they opened the door. But everything was absolutely fresh. The sea bass was like butter, the crab legs were sweet. The cod was fresh and firm. We are super picky with seafood, my husband loved deep sea fishing. So having to buy seafood is absolutely foreign to us. We will definitely be back to buy more until I can convince my sons to pick up where their dad left off!! read more

I've found my favorite fishmonger. If you can score a yelp deal from here, do it! I tried the sushi sampler packet (tuna, yellowtail, and salmon). You can get this for just $15 ($15 for $25 worth through Yelp). The fish was really fresh. I'd easily pay $25 for this again. Also scored some fresh oysters caught that day. They get their fish from various local fishermen on a daily basis. Check out their website for the seafood available that day. Or, you can browse through their refrigerated section where everything is vacuum sealed. I also tried the Ahi Poke. It was on sale from $8 for $4. This was just okay. It was lackluster and didn't taste that fresh to me, like it might have been prepared the day before. It was also under seasoned. This was a pass for me. It's not a fancy shop. In fact, if you weren't looking for it, you'd easily drive right by. The storefront looks empty so I thought they were closed, but you actually enter through the side. Who cares so long as the fish is fresh right? Also, the floor is slippery inside because they're constantly cutting and cleaning fish on the premises. So don't wear your Prada heels ladies. Overall, definitely not the cheapest seafood around (unless you purchase a Yelp deal, if it's still available) but definitely my go-to place for sushi grade fish and premium seafood. read more

Dry Dock Fish Co - My new BFF, tuna poke, live oysters, freshly cut vacuum sealed sashimi pack - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fullerton, California

What a terrific discovery--fresh seafood in Fullerton of all places! I picked up a few great sashimi-grade quality cuts of Salmon for the smoker. As other reviewers have expressed, it's not at all cheap but worth it given the quality and freshness. Easily much better than the supermarket meat and seafood case. The smoked salmon was delicious and a big hit at a b-day party. Cheers. read more

I bough a large slab of salmon to grill for my family. The salmon was delicious and fresh. I also appreciate the good customer service.

Dry dock fish co...wonderful find by the hubs! I love some fresh fish and this place def has some. Tried the: poke, uni, and bought a slab of tuna Poke: The flavors actually impressed me. The spicy and regular were both awesome. The tuna poke are definitely the ones to get. Uni: This item was incredibly fresh. Well, it IS still alive. We only bought one and cracked it open at home. They are relatively easy to crack open, just youtube it. It was a wonderful golden hue. Tuna: We should have probably picked our own piece instead of having them pick one for us. The piece we got was ok in terms of the meat. I like the pieces more on the 'medium' side, aka chu toro. Will definitely be back for some poke and uni! read more

was super excited to try this place after all of the great reviews. bought a little over a pound of mussels to cook for my birthday dinner. only when it came time to make them that day i opened the bag to find that all of my 'live' mussels were either cracked or expired. tried tapping the shell for them to close up and they did not move a 'mussel' ha anyway. nice people that work there but can't vouch for the freshness of their seafood :/ read more

The quality of fish they serve is amazing. Location feels pretty random, but whatever. The quality of product is superior.

Came by today to pick up some salmon. Grabbed some poke which was buttery delicious not veiny. Good quality. Great customer service.

I went to go pick up some salmon poke but they only had ahi poke left, so I got a pound of that. It was a bit spicy which is fine, but not nearly the same quality of poke you would expect from a poke bowl restaurant. The poke was really dark and squishy - it kind of blended together, really like the leftover pieces of tuna after filleting the fish. It tasted fine, but it definitely wasn't what I had imagined when I set out to get the ingredients to make my own poke bowl. I'm sure the other types of fish there are super fresh, but I didn't love the quality of the poke and would rather just go to a poke place next time. read more

This place is TINY and easily missed. Walked in and it's pretty bleak. For those who have been there, you know what I'm talking about. SERVICE (3/5): The customer service was just okay. He was very talkative to the person in front of us, but once that person left, he was very quiet and not personable at all. SALMON POKÉ (4/5): The salmon was fresh and the sauce was more on the sweeter side. Not bad at all! But I prefer more on the saltier side. Pricey, but hey it's seafood, no surprise. Would go again if I'm in the mood for poké. read more

I've been fortunate enough to live a couple of blocks away from here and I come by every once in a while. You can't beat $1.50 fresh oysters. I believe you can ask them to shuck it for you but I forget to do it every time and ended up learning how to shuck them myself, which isn't the worst life skill to have. The sashimi-grade salmon is always good as well as their poke, especially paired with the chips that they sell. If you go on their website it shows the fresh fish that they have available that day. You have to call ahead to order their sushi-making kits but it's a great price for what you get. It's a pretty straightforward and no-frills operation. The workers are very friendly as well, especially the older gentleman. read more

"Good choice. It just came in." I visited on March 31. When I got home, the stickers on the fish was marked as sell by March 31. Just came in, my butt. Bought 4 half-pound filets of black cod, which the web site marked as over $22 per half pound filet. Bill only came out to $55, and I thought the math didn't add up. After getting home and checking the cost of the black cod filets - which were marked on the stickers for each filet - I realized that the guy sold them to me at half off, probably because the fish was about to go bad... and smelled like it. Was planning on making fish for dinner for my guests, but I refuse to put smelly fish on their dinner plates. Learn from my rookie mistake. If a fish seller says it's fresh, and it's smelly when you get home, you've been had. read more

Low overhead kind of place...my favorite. Looks like a dump from the outside, but they have a tremendous selection of fish and shellfish, and all very fresh! Very accommodating staff as well. This was the first of my many, many visits to Dry Dock, even though it is a 25-30 minute drive. Well worth it. read more

Visited this place after reading all the great reviews... I admit, all the items looked very fresh, but honestly, they are rather overpriced. I was more than willing to buy anyways since they all looked very good, but the employees had no idea what they're talking about and weren't too nice. $50 for a small package consisting of about 40 thin slices of Tuna, Salmon and Kanpachi. Then the other employee says $40... there were no price labels on it. Somewhat frustrating... To the owner: Your employees are asking "Are you ready?!!?" right when Customers first walk in to the store, instead of "how can I help you?" I won't be going back. read more

Anyone who knows me has heard me complain about the current state of customer service. "Who trains these people?" I lament. Yes, I know: I am getting old. But that does not mean I am wrong, and I am guessing there are many Yelpers out there - old and young - who would agree with me on this. Well, Dry Dock Fish Company does not have that problem. Indeed, the woman who worked with me, Jamie, was a breath of fresh air. She is young, vivacious, funny, smart and customer-oriented. She gave me great advice regarding what to buy and was personable and engaging the whole time. And no, this was not feigned customer service. You know what I mean: fake laughter, kissing up to the customer, the use of lots of superlatives (e.g., "that is super!"). Nope, Jamie was just outstanding and the fish was wonderful, too. Drop by Dry Dock for a very good selection of seafood at reasonable prices. If you are lucky, Jamie might be working and will brighten your day. And speaking of luck, Dry Dock, if you are reading this message, please know how lucky you are to have a young woman like Jamie in your employ. Slainte! read more

I walked in the store I looked at the fish. The smell was so bad that I had to walk out and I had a mask on.

This place is great little hidden gem. Calling it a hidden gem because I've lived a block away for about 20 years and never noticed it was still open for business until I actually stumbled across it on yelp! I am planning on coming back to try some of the fresh fish everything looked great! Today I just grabbed a couple poke bowls. I tried the spicy tuna pokè and the sweet tuna pokè!! Both excellent highly recommend. I think tomorrow I will be back for some giant sea scallops :) read more
