"She's got a set of gills, like no fish I've ever seen Long…read moreblonde hair and a tail in between I'm in love with a creature from the sea And she's bringin' out the crustacean in me " (Jimmy Buffett) To The Gills brings "fresh hand cut seafood to Litchfield County, CT". They share a funky space with New Curds on the Block cheese shop in an old brick mill building. We climbed a rickety wood staircase in the back of the building to get into the shops. Don't enter through the front of the building or you'll end up in a karate dojo. They sell super fresh fish and shellfish - Atlantic Salmon, Yellowfin Tuna, Black Sea Bass (MA). Blackfish, Sardines, Pink Shrimp, Scallops, Soft Shell Crabs, Steamers, Littleneck Clams, Gem Clams, PEI Mussels, and Crab Cakes. You can order online and pick up at their Oakville Shop, Bantam Farmer's Market, or Washington Depot Farmer's Market. We swung by yesterday and had a hard time deciding what to buy. I was tempted by the soft-shell crabs because I never had them before. But ultimately, I chickened out and went for three of their big crab cakes. They were $7 each and worth every dime. They weighed in at 4 ounces and were PACKED with crab meat and very little breading or filling. A few minutes in the air fryer at 350 and they were as good as any I've ever had. As I said, they share retail space with the New Curds on the Block cheese shop (after all, the two owners are married), and after we bought the crab cakes, a wedge of Dutch Knuckle cheese, a tin of smoked mussels, some addictive Maple Toffee Almonds, all of the purchases rang up on a combined receipt.

ORIGIN: Zachary Redin, with fifteen years as an Institute of…read moreCulinary Education-trained chef and fishmonger, opened To the Gills in 2022. The shop's name refers to an idiom that is used to express something being completely full. CONCEPT: The shop provides a curated collection of seafood, and associated seasonings, to Litchfield County. LOCATION: To the Gills shares a second floor corner suite with a cheese shop and knife sharpener. The suite is located in a building that long served as the site for Seymour Smith garden tool manufacturing. AMBIANCE: The shop is decorated with many unique items, such as an old cash register and oven. Tremendous windows line the time-worn brick walls of the former factory which had been built in the early 20th century. FOOD: The shop sells custom poke bowls and prepared chowder, crab cakes, and seaweed salad for quick meals. Shellfish, fin fish, smoked fish, and seafood seasonings are also sold, including uncommonly found fish such as parrot fish. SERVICE: Service is friendly and knowledgeable. TIPS: To the Gills also sells through the Washington Farmers' Market during warm weather Saturdays. There is no seating in the building, but there is a gazebo with two outdoor dining chairs and a side table in the parking lot. Neighboring Steel Creek has a bench overlooking the bridge. There is no elevator in the building. The second floor can be reached via an outdoor ramp that stretches across one side of the L-shaped building. To the Gills periodically serves raw oysters at neighboring Lasting Brass Brewery. Check the brewery's event calendar. To the Gills occasionally arranges informative events at the shop. In November I participated in a caviar tasting event in which eight different fish roes that are sold at the shop were featured and their provenance described. Follow the shop's Instagram account for future event announcements. A cheese shop (New Curds on the Block) and blade/knife sharpener are located in same suite.

Also great for presents, the bottles are sleek and attractive. There are even the flours to make your own bread and pasta, that's how deep you can get. They also sell fresh forcaccia every Friday, made by the owners, and it's so delicious! If more than one is available, freeze the second. The owner also teaches classes on the weekends - the website has the schedule and brief descriptions of the class. Bring your own apron. She's an amazing teacher, and really invested in people feeling confident in their cooking. I know now I could make my own focaccia!

There are a few differences between the two stores, New Morning Market offers some more healthy options, such as probiotic items like sauerkraut and yogurt drinks. I found the prices to be comparable to Whole Foods, and some of the Primal salad dressings & BBQ sauces happened to be on sale, so I saved a couple of bucks on each one I purchased. Also, I picked up a High Heat Olive oil "On Special" as soon I had walked through the front door, that was a great deal too. I also noticed they have a fairly decent stock of supplements too. Staff was very friendly and helpful, I will be back occasionally to pick up speciality items in my diet.

The parking lot is fair, although a little dark around the edges. Shopping carts are right inside. They have a lot of perishables, so something to consider if you're coming from far.

They have a cookie and dessert area, premade items, a select other hot menu (that I'm sure changes) but had stuffed breads and lasagna etc. . For the sandwiches now, the bread was fresh, good‑sized, and slightly crisp on the outside, with a soft, chewy center that holds everything together without falling apart. It has that perfect give when you press it -- firm enough to support weight, but not so hard that you're fighting it with your jaw. The meat and toppings were fresh. They have a seating area that is full service on one side, or a little area to sit near the window counter. If you haven't had them, it's def worth giving them a try!
