    Awesome customer service. Came here looking for fresh tuna so I can make poke. His shop does not carry tuna but told me where I can go to get some. Saw them frying up some fish and I decided to try the clam sandwich. The sandwich was ok. It was a bit greasy and soggy. I'm giving them 4 stars for their customer service. I also bought some steamers and they were almost all clean of sand. They say they purge the clams before selling.

    Large Side order of fried fish
    Sophie B.

    We got a large side order of fried fish($10) and a side of shrimp($18) Fast friendly service, very fresh fish, fried in front of you, HUGE servings. My only two issues is that the batter doesn't have any flavor, would greatly benefit from some salt, pepper and paprika. And secondly they only have prepackaged tartar sauce which was terrible.

    The fried clams were perfect. Their Stuffed quahog delish! Customer service outstanding

    My honey was just there and I am so jealous!!!!!!!!!!!

    This place has a long history and they're famous for serving up some of the tastiest fish and chips in Fall River, MA. My sweetheart went to a Catholic all-girls school, Dominican Academy, just around the corner for 12 years and she has some great stories about all those Fridays and those fish and chips. Of course, it was a mainstay Friday event for us and then our kids over the years and I gotta tell ya', I miss it sometimes. They are unique as they use pollock fish, which is in their original recipe and serve it with fries or onion rings plus they have a fish dinner that feeds four. It's only available for takeout and you get a lovely grease-stained paper bag. Mouthwatering! Gotta love fresh fried seafood prepared right in front of you, I get that here at Blalock's. Their breading is light and airy despite the greasy bag LOL. This is not a dine-in restaurant, most of the space is retail seafood on display, with about 1/3 of the space being used for fried seafood cook while you wait. French fries wrapped separately from seafood plate items. Also a big deal for me, the seafood platter portions are very generous compared to others around and the prices are reasonable too. They also have some stuffed quahogs nice deals lobster and lobster rolls with other interesting weekly specials. Nice. As for the seafood well they have all my New England favorites, lobster, clams, bay and dry scallops, swordfish, quahogs, cod and more. (I will post an image of their selection) Bottom line: Fresh seafood, professional and friendly folks and This place is the cleanest seafood store I've ever patronized, and that's a lot. Highly recommended!! https://higsonseafoodma.com/ 917 South Main Street,  Fall River, MA 02724 (508) 678-4970

    Still a healthy portion left after I smashed that plate hard while it was still hot and crispy!

    The oil was hot and fresh which in turn meant the scallops and fish were cooked just right. Scallops were absolutely perfect, fish batter was light and fish was fried perfectly. Fries were surprisingly good for what they are, the girls are spot on in their fry game! Now the trick to enjoy the take out to the max. Be prepared to eat right there in your car. If you walk out the store, go straight to your car and start munching you will 100% enjoy every Pennie's worth of this meal. Bring a lemon with you and your favorite sauce along w/ a cold beer and I guarantee the food if eaten immediately will be hot and crispy. The longer you take to get it out of the paper and into your mouth the soggier your experience. You have been warned. It's a 5 star for what it is if the staff is on their game, price was good relative to the market and the main ingredients are fresh! Portions are an excellent size and value. If you don't follow my recommendation your experience will vary accordingly to the time your food spends traveling.

    Excellent customer service! Greasy seafood and they cook it for you. I recommend anyone looking for a massive seafood platter check them out well worth the price.

    This is a great little seafood market! The seafood is always fresh, the prices are more than fair and the service is always great! Higson Seafood always seem to have exactly what you want! They offer their seafood from fresh to fried, however you want to take it home! We went and purchased fresh scallops for dinner tonight...They were scrumptious!!

    Clams that are sweat in flavor.

    My favorite pit-stop for fresh seafood. I can pick from their fresh catch or have one of their fried specialties. With Covid-19 hanging over our lives Higson Seafood gives us a chance to be free to enjoy a meal that's hearty and healthy for the whole family. Higson's has street parking great for drop in and leave. I give them a great thank you for being heroes in this trying time and giving back our humanity for a moment. They follow CCD recommendations so your safe. On this trip I got clams for an old-fashioned Portuguese New England Clam boil!

A great selection of Portuguese products (from mainland and the islands) and home ware / kitchen ware. Incredible selection of fish, salted cod, cheese, tinned fish, wine, etc. The worker in the wine section was super helpful and attentive. There was a large selection and told him what we typically enjoy drinking and he showed us multiple bottles. We went with two of the options he suggested and he hit the nail on the head. They were exactly what we like and wanted!! For imported products the prices are fair. Even the box of Queijada from the Azores price wasn't far off from what I paid on the island right from the source! They have a cafe as well, we didn't try it this time around but everything looked great. We will definitely be back and will try it the next time!!

Highly recommend..

Unfortunately, I was met with an absolutely atrocious attitude from the young lady who served me today. I asked for two whole filets of Arctic Char from the back cooler instead of the two in the front case. Why? Well, the real answer is that it doesn't matter why...I'm the customer paying nearly $60 for fish and if that's what I want, then the correct answer is a smile and a "no problem, let me go get that for you!" Instead, what I got was a look of utter contempt and an "I mean, what's the difference?" sarcastic reply with one palm raised up to emphasize just how ridiculous my request was. When she returned with the fish, I said "just FYI, all that should matter is that I'm the customer (paying top dollar for a premium product), maybe I'm just a bit OCD." Her response, again with that famous Gen-Z contempt, was "I mean, there's no difference, we just brought it (the fish in the case) out, but anyways, I got you your fish." She just didn't get it. The owner overheard everything and chimed in "all of our fish is fresh here, you don't need to worry about that." Yeah, I know that it's a good product, it's why I shop here, but if my unique brain feels better about having it brought out from the back cooler, why should that merit even a drop of bad attitude?! I told the owner, "I just shouldn't have to explain myself," he retorted "you didn't" and I told him "no, actually I did." So basically, I went in looking forward to a nice experience and left feeling really irritated. Sometimes when I'm passing through Westport, I stop by Westport Lobster Company. I always ask for my fish from the back...and all that I ever get is a smile and a "sure, no problem, let me get that for you." I prefer to spend money in my own town, but I'm not going back to this place and neither is my wife...We don't need to be rewarding rudeness with our hard-earned dollars.
