    Super Fresh Live Oysters $16/dozen *shuck yourself*
    Madison M.

    I LOVE that this place is away from the touristy downtown traffic. It's located at Pier 39. You can drive your car over an old wooden pier; very narrow, but wide enough to have 2 respectfully cautious cars pass each other without having to wait. Parking is limited, but we didn't have a problem finding a parking spot on a weekday afternoon. We wondered around a met a friendly man named "Tom" who knew where to find our requested fresh live oysters.... I thought he was awfully generous with his time as he escorted us to the an area that opened up into a small restaurant looking set-up, right over the water. Then he proceeded to get behind the counter and took our seafood order *lol* Yes, Tom is the fisherman, the owner, the cook (pre-covid) and the cashier! I ordered 1, then changed my mind and ordered 2 dozen live fresh oysters ($16/dozen). Tom inquired on my transport details and I told him that we had a 6hr drive straight through. He seemed concerned (due to fresh live seafood). Without asking, Tom hooked me up BIG Time and handed me a big 'ol plastic bag with ice at the bottom, then a thick net contains the live oysters. He advised me to add more ice immediately before heading home AND don't seal the bag, let it breath. I had no idea. I probably would have knotted the top of the plastic bag and continued on my way. Tom basically saved my oysters from suffocating on our trip home *Whew, Thanks Tom* :D They are not preparing hot food at this time, but the deals on super Fresh high quality seafood is are better than expected (changes daily, with advanced notice you can make requests and see what happens). You never really know what you have until you crack the shell... Every single oyster had lots of juice, so I KNOW that they were super Fresh. I will be back for more *** 5-stars ***

    Hanthorn is definitely a place I can recommend over and over again! They close early though so we weren't able to catch them for dinner - I wish we did. We stayed in a suite upstairs on Pier 39 and was able to pop by before we checked out the next morning. This place was definitely an experience - I felt like Anthony Boudain eating at a crab stand on the pier. We ordered the crab melt, currently not on the menu cause Tom (owner) got tired of making them and decided to erase it off the white board. But he did say that if you want something, just ask! Most likely he'll be able to accommodate and make it! And boy we were glad we asked cause the crab melt was delicious! Full of mayo and cheddar cheese, fresh crab was folded in and baked on top of some bread! Rich and fantastic!!! While we waited for the crab melt, I ordered 3 fresh Willapa Bay oysters - what makes them special, they are grown as "floating oysters" and not on the sand, which gives them a fresh non-gritty flavor. I liked them so much, I asked for 3 more to make my half dozen. Tom was chatting with us and kept shucking them for me - you can tell he was passionate and very proud of them. Don't ask for Tobasco! You don't need it and it'll just offend Tom! Just some lemon juice and you're good to go! I could eat these all day!!! Tom, the owner, was friendly; cracking jokes (some which we didn't understand) and giving us pointers on where to eat! You can tell he has a passion for food, very proud of the food he offers, and is a local to Astoria. He also serves crab cakes, but make sure to order these in advance cause they are not readily available. He has these large crab tanks so if you want fresh crab, live or cooked, this is the place to get them! They can pack it on ice to-go or cook it on the spot and serve it to you on-site (approx 30 mins cook time). Thanks for such delicious food and hospitality! We will definitely visit again if we're ever back in the area and recommend this place to all our friends!

    A little hidden spot on Pier 39 that we went to for our 2nd anniversary. Don't be afraid to get your hands messy. Dig into the crab! We ordered: - a dozen oysters w/lime & cocktail sauce - 2 fresh boiled crabs with lemons & butter - a bowl of chowder Spent $78 + tip It's a casual lunch place run by 2 local guys, where the food was fresh, cooked wonderfully, and we enjoyed chatting with Tom, the owner. Grab a beer and enjoy the sea breeze while looking out towards the ocean. If you're coming with a group of 4+, call ahead and put in your order. Even though they might have some boiled crab on ice to eat, if you want fresh boiled crab that's warm, you will need to wait about 40 mins. It's well worth the wait!

    Tom The Crab Man. If you want crab go no where else. Want it cooked? He got it. Want it live and fresh? He got that too. Great prices, big crab and his conversation is on point too :-) Recommend you call before stopping by if you want the cooked crab.

    For my money, this is one of Astoria's true gems. Being from Louisiana (although currently residing in New Mexico) I grew up eating oysters and I've been doing my best to eat my weight in oysters while staying here in Oregon. Unfortunately for me, most establishments seem to want to serve "oyster shooters" these days. Not how the good Lord intended man to consume oysters by my way of thinking. Tom thinks so too. You order them and he shucks them for you, right then and there. Good and fresh Willapa Bay oysters. They are open when they're open. Try and catch them when you can. It's worth it if you do. And spend some time talking with Tom. He's a good guy and a pleasure to talk to.

    This place is great! Very hard to find but worth the effort. My wife and I had some freshly shucked oysters, crab cocktail, and their famous crab melt. Was to die for! Owner is great and wonderful to talk to. Knowledgeable about seafood, the area, and just a warm and pleasant guy. If you're looking for great seafood, this is your place in Astoria. The owner even invited us back to try a freshly caught salmon that evening. The picture is of that salmon. Wow!

    Great Dungeness crabs. Amazing crab meat melt!! Tom who runs the place is a great friendly guy! Will definitely come back.

    Our favorite stop of the entire Oregon Coast trip. We were staying at an Airbnb on the pier and just so happen to walk by Tom's 'corner' - thank goodness we did because it was by far thee best oysters we've ever had. Tom, the owner, shucked them fresh right in front of us, the coolest guy ever (but don't tell him I told you that haha) - we also got the crab cocktail and jeez that also made us swoon it was sooo good. Not to mention there's a nice view!

    Best oysters on the half shell.  So fresh and delicious!  Wish we had ordered 6!

    Have the prices of fresh crab come down to a reasonable price? The last time i was there the price was $12.99 a pound but at the local Freddies it was only $8.99 a pound for FRESH crab.

    When the crabs are in season, the price for shrimps & crabs on September & October are lower.

    No! This place was…read morereally disappointing. Came here based on reviews, but I. would caution anyone to steer clear of this place. It started with flat champagne drinks. That's just a fail, and it suggests a place that doesn't bother keeping things fresh. It kind of went downhill from there. We were looking for nice fresh fish and chips, wile we were out along the coast. We live near the coast ourselves, and are no strangers to good seafood. We decided to do the Cod and the Halibut fish and chips. While the halibut seemed fresh, the cod was waxy and looked old, and frankly i found it somehow mildly nauseating. I couldn't bring myself to teat it. The batter was crsipy, but lacked seasoning and tasted really flat (cardboard?). Aside from that, the coleslaw seemed pretty old soggy. Gross. Not impressed at all - some of the worst fish and chips I have ever had. Some people may like this kind of food - but i will actively avoid this place the next time in Astoria. Hard pass. i'm nauseous just thinking back to my experience here. Could hardly get away fast enough...

It was a good decision. Note for fellow travelers: their menu is small. They are a smokehouse that oh by the way has a small dining area as well, which they call the Chowder House. Small can be beautiful. Specialization has its benefits. We ordered the chowder and smoked salmon on rye. First, the chowder. It's the real deal, slightly thinner than some, but not too thin, and boy howdy delicious. Seriously, its some of the best. I would say it's up there with Gracie's Sea Hag in Depoe Bay. It does not skimp on the clams, and is chunky throughout. The smoked salmon on rye exchanges a bagel for rye toast, but keeps the rest of the traditional deli staple intact. There is cream cheese, capers, red onion, and, of course, the salmon. (I don't know where smoked raw salmon ends and nova lox begins. They seem to be the same.) This is where we begin to understand those benefits of specialization. It was simply the best I've had. It was well smoked and tasted fabulous with the rye. If you have passed this place by for years as well, stop it, and stop by. It's good stuff. They also ship their smoked salmon.

Because we were driving through on our road trip, we decided to make a stop here for a late lunch this last Tuesday afternoon, around 2:15 pm. After we parked, we walked inside and headed towards the salad bar/ hot bar food area. After looking around (there is also a counter that you can order made to order sandwiches and burritos), I ended up deciding to purchase the following: Peanut Chicken Sesame Noodle Salad, $8.99- This was quite a massive portion so I only ended up eating about 1/3 of it and then had the rest over the next few days (I ended up mixing it with some chopped cucumbers and tomatoes that I had to make a large salad). I loved the peanut sesame dressing and noodles in this salad but wished there was more chicken. Mayak Egg Noodle Bowl, $8.99- My husband picked this salad for himself but I didn't have any. He thought it was good and appreciated something fresh, as his bowl had shredded cabbage, like my salad, and cucumbers and shredded carrots. Pumpkin Pie, $6.99- My husband saw this small pumpkin pie and decided to get it because he is such a big fan of it. I actually don't like pumpkin as much as when I was much younger. But I did like this pie and thought the flavors were well balanced, not too overly sweet. ---------------------------------------- (Total= $24.97) I really appreciated that the little dining area (there is also an outdoor dining area as well but because it had rained previously, we opted to sit inside) had plastic bowls and plates available for you to put your food in. This was helpful for me to be able to thoroughly mix my noodle salad since the dressing was mostly on the bottom. Then after I mixed it, I just put it back in the plastic container and only left about 1/3 of the salad in my bowl to eat. If I lived in this area, I would definitely be a regularly of this market (specifically for the prepared food area).
