Do not buy the oysters here. 5/12 of them were dead, and the best looking out of the bunch still tasted funky.

I went to Mission Seafood for Lobsterand crab legs. Valentines day dinner for my Husband and I. I ended up buying salmon and seabass too. The crab legs came out in crumbly little pieces, were tough and flavorless. The lobster tails were at best ok. The seabass was very good. The salmon had a awful smell of being old. I will NOT be going back to Mission Seafood anytime soon!!! Worst seafood market EVER!!! read more

The place rocks. Great selection of seafood at reasonable prices. The owner is great and super friendly. One of the few places around that frequently has live Maine lobsters. read more

Man, this place is awesome. They have all type of seafood, and the prices are way cheaper than the grocery stores.

Great selection, service and prices. Clams were perfect! It's a drive for us but we'll be back.

Quality fresh seafood and a decent selection. Great price on the salmon. Easy to miss but worth it.

Looking for live lobster and that is what I found. Massive beautiful 3 pound specimens! Will absolutely look forward to shopping here again. read more

We wanted some live Maine lobsters for a friend's birthday, so I gave Mission Seafood a try. They set us with some beautiful bugs 2.5-3 lbs. ea. They were fantastic and ours friends said they were the BEST they'd ever eaten and they have eaten plenty. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM and I will be shopping there for lobster and other seafood from now on. Sincerely, Mike Granger read more

Have only come here for oysters. Oysters are $1.25 each for the Blue Point or $1.50 for the Pacific. I noticed today they have live black mussels too for $6.99/lb. Prices are good and seafood always seems fresh! read more

Remember to ask for fresh fish caught today and not any other fish. I tried imported Chilean sea bass and it was really smelly and fishy. They do sell fresh from Oceanside caught in the morning which is better read more

Found this place searching for somewhere to buy snow crab legs.. they are a little hole in the wall family-owned spot with tons of fresh seafood options! The crab we got was so good and not salty and shriveled like what you'd find at Albertsons or Ralphs. The crab legs were sweet and meaty, and fresh! We'll definitely be back for their other selections like oysters, ahi, fresh lobster and blue crab, and more! Also, staff were really friendly! read more

It was my first trip to Mission Seafood Market. I read the positive reviews on Yelp and thought I would give it a try. I bought branzino and oysters. They were fresh and good quality. The service was quick and friendly. I will be back. read more

Love this store and their owners. I'm very particular about the salmon I consume as Atlantic salmon is not healthy. They carry not only a fresh, healthy salmon (believe Scottish), but it is also sushi grade and priced less than you will find anywhere else. Owners are extremely nice and helpful. read more

THANK GOD I found this place b4 New Years Eve... The lobsters were very good, the Ahi was an actual piece of fish.... (unlike FFarms that has become below average...) The Sashimi Grade Salmon was very good and the same price as FFarms... The Lady who runs the place was very helpful and nice and makes me want to drive the 10miles from my Perch next time I make my Japanese Dinner or Lobster... Oh the Oysters looked epic ...next time!! 4 Stars is conservative.... could of gone 5 Stars but no salmon skin for my rolls LOL I felt good buying from a small store too! Maybe a little Japanese Market could move in next door... OH YEA read more

My family cooks with a lot of seafood and it's difficult to find high quality seafood. I use to go to a pescaderia in Vista but it closed down. I google search a fish Market and found this place. I called and received great service over the phone and in person. It's a small location but it had everything I was looking for. I will keep coming back. read more

Everything I bought was great. Friendly people, I do belive I will be going back soon.

DO NOT SHOP HERE. This place sold me 15 pounds of overpriced and dead crawfish. When calling back they blamed me and refused to even speak to me then started raising their voice as to how they went through everyone of them to make sure they were alive. I boil 600-700 pounds of crawfish a year for catering - I'm glad I only started with a small batch. They will loose every bit of business from me and my catering colleagues. read more

Love this place. Great fresh fish, great prices. Service is excellent. Great mom and pop place. Wouldn't go anywhere else for fresh fish.

Got what I needed. Just wish for more variety. Would love to see live blue crab or crawfish.

I'm so very happy I found this awesome seafood market. I needed Dungeness crab for our traditional Christmas Eve meal. All of my usual sources were completely out of stock. They have live crab and lobster. They were kind enough to cook it on request. When I picked it up they had also cleaned it! That really is great customer service! The price was also very reasonable, and the service was very friendly and helpful. What a great find! read more

A few months before this lockdown went into effect, my wife decided she wanted to try her hand at making sushi at home. Starting simple, we had California Rolls and homemade Poke Bowls a few times before making the decision of adding Salmon to the mix. Looking nearby for places that sold it sashimi grade, we found Mission Seafood Market. Small and unassuming, this place is tucked into a strip mall on the side of Mission Avenue, near Highway 76, down in the valley. It was a bit far to get to, but decent Yelp reviews and a cost we could accept sent us out to the coast to pick up what we needed. And when we got there, we found a great selection behind a well-kept counter, with just about anything we could hope for to make our planned sushi dinner a rousing success. The shop had a good handle on that overly strong fishy smell you expect from fish markets that have had some cuts out a bit too long. The salmon we got was nice and pink, held together very well, and had been frozen and defrosted pretty perfectly to give it that safe sashimi taste and look. My lady love was able to cut it into thick slices that held up well in and on every roll she made. In the multiple times we've been back, I haven't had any issues with quality or taste. About the only problem I've ever had with getting fish here is that sometimes they'll cut the skin off the salmon for you, saving you a couple of bucks in unwanted / unused bits, while other times they don't, and you end up getting much less usable fish for your money. Other than that, with crab meat and premade shrimp tempura in the freezer, live crabs in buckets by the door, and a myriad of tuna and ahi behind the counter, this has been a great place to come back to again and again. They've earned our trust with their quality, they've earned our loyalty with their flavors, and they've earned our repeat business with their selection and good prices. We'll keep making great tasting sushi at home and we'll be coming back here for the top notch ingredients to make it. read more

I bought 4 live main lobsters. They were lively. Steamed them for 12+ minutes. Excellent, Note: They are closed on Mondays

I go always for the Lobster always vacuum n frozen. Other stores they are not always good or have been re=freezw. V

Just came here a little over an hour ago because I read they had sushi grade fish I walk in the shop and it smells VERY fishy but, it's a fish market so I try to not think twice. I go to get what was SUPPOSED to be "sushi grade" salmon... it was in the window labeled "sashimi grade" but looked very suspect. I asked the clerk twice if it was actually sushi grade and he reassured me "oh yea man dont worry". I live 4 minutes away so I went home right away, and take it out of the package and it smells very fishy... not a good sign. Cut all the skin and scales off, still smells fishy. I take one bite and it was absolutely not sushi grade in the slightest. VERY fishy taste which immediately tells me it is well overdue and not sushi grade whatsoever... cant believe I just wasted all that money. DISGUSTING. read more

Stopped back in after a bad experience 10 years go...what a wonderful surprise! Was looking for sushi grade salmon and they had beautiful fresh fillets. Great freshness (deliveries daily) and less expensive than other fish markets. The halibut fillets looked awesome and salmon filets were super fresh. Also had large shrimp and many other seafood items. If you are looking for sushi grade salmon locally in Oceanside, stop by! Will definitely be a new regular... read more

Great selection of fresh and frozen seafood and very knowledgeable folks to help and answer questions!

This is my go to fresh seafood grocery. On Mission Ave. in Oceanside. They have fresh sashimi grade ahi, Atlantic salmon, fresh cod, Mahi, red snapper, Maine lobster, blue crabs, crawfish, oysters, mussels mmmm, New Zealand mussels. Crazy good, crazy fresh shrimp - Medium, Jumbo or head on. Friendly service and best seafood and prices in North County! Check out their freezers for Alaskan king crab, snow crab, huge scallops, calamari, gator, fish balls and much more! Use it in my Poke, ceviche, sushi, and crab boils or cioppino! They are the best! read more

Very helpful! Lots of selection. Very fresh seafood. This is my to go place for great seafood! I love their clams.

Rude service, overpriced and they will happily sell you SPOILED AND INEDIBLE SEAFOOD. They literally told me on the phone that the dead crawfish were handpicked at the bottom of the bag and they threw another 10lbs away making it my problem that they can't tell what's dead and alive? Terrible customer service and frankly disgusting unethical business people. read more

Based on previous Yelp reviews I went to Mission Seafood Market for some fresh swordfish to prepare for a family birthday dinner. I'm so glad I did! It was so fresh and so delicious! Everything I saw there looked very good and fresh and there was no "questionable smell" you sometimes experience in seafood markets. Everything was very clean and all the fish and seafood was well iced. Very fair prices for the quality and friendly, efficient service. read more
