As far as seafood goes, there is zero competition in Reno for the best place, it's Sierra gold, PERIOD. The Selection here is fantastic and not only what's fresh, the frozen stuff is also equally amazing. Been coming here for years and don't plan on stopping ever.... read more

Sierra Gold Seafood is truly the best seafood market in town! I come here a lot to grab fish to make sushi bake or nigiri at home, but there is many different types of dishes you can make with the ingredients here. My photos don't do it justice, but the amount of great/affordable products is amazing. It may seem a bit intimidating, but the staff here are very kind and helpful. They will always help by answering your questions and providing helpful tips on what to look for. I tell my friends and family who live in the area to stop by here and strongly recommend visiting this local market! read more

Sierra Gold Seafood - Hamachi - Seafood Markets Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Took a recent visit to Sierra Gold before Christmas and the line was out the door this day, which was not an issue and I didn't mind the wait knowing the quality of Seafood the store has. Their website says they are closed on Mondays, but during the holidays to *note they are sometimes open so it would've been worth a call to see if they're open. I did call before I went and I got the back warehouse person who told me the crab was around $60 a pound. It was actually closer to $70 a pound but since this is what my family planned on for main dinner, I stayed in line. Upon getting to the front of the line, I was told that there was only 2 pieces of the larger king crab that was in the $60+ range a pound, and that they had some frozen packages for a bargain price and some of the medium to large king crab was in the $56-57 range. I agreed and got a total of 5 to 6 pounds. What I thought was odd was I was rang up for 2 1/2 pounds at the higher amount and 2 pounds of the lower amount (which was odd since the smaller crab, obviously outnumbered the large) One staff member weighed the crab, and when I got to the register, she told the clerk that I actually had more than what I visibly saw weighed on the scale - maybe there was a difference of kilos to pounds? I'm not sure but I will give them the benefit of the doubt here. I did ask about this and I was told to not pay attention to what was on the scale.. since the line was long behind me, I continued on and just paid. What was more concerning was when I got home and all of the crab appeared to be the same size. Since this is a local business, I really want to continue to support them, but I found their pricing a little bit concerning or confusing the last couple of years I've shopped here and this year the crab definitely wasn't as large as in years past. With all of this being said my family enjoyed the crab as our annual Christmas Eve treat, and thought it was some of the freshest we've had not too salty, and very flavorful. Although some of it was shaved, it still was very prickly and always a challenge to eat, which makes it part of the fun, but it seemed a bit harder than in years past as I think the larger crab seems to break up easier. Crab has gone up every year significantly and it's kind of getting difficult to continue our Christmas Eve tradition but we'll continue to support them perhaps from their freezer section more which is labeled the 'bargain bin'. read more

Sierra Gold Seafood - King crab legs - Seafood Markets Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

This place is amazing. Excellent fresh fish, cut to any size. Friendly staff and quick service. Much better fish than from supermarkets, don't waste your time there, this is where you go. read more

Excellent seafood that is very fresh with a friendly and very customer-oriented staff. Their salmon is wonderful as is the quality of their scallops, clams, mussels and everything in between! I feel their prices are definitely higher than what one would encounter in a typical grocery store, but it is alright since the quality of their product is excellent and you also learn about the history behind seafood and where it is sourced from. I highly recommend Sierra Gold Seafood for your special occasion seafood dinners with family or just great seafood from an excellent local business. Recommended! read more

We stopped in at Sierra Gold to pick up a couple of things; my sister bought some sushi grade tuna and salmon to make homemade pokebowls. I hadn't really wanted anything but I did find a couple of desserts that piqued my interest: a coffee-flavored creme brûlée and a white chocolate-covered, lemon flavored gelato. The gelato was refreshing and not overly sweet. The crème brûlée was decadent and delicious and it took a lot of will power not to finish the two pieces I bought. The proprietors were really friendly and they were so nice to remember us. All in all we has another pleasant visit to Sierra Gold Seafood. read more

The only place in Reno that has consistent supply of seafood. Being not close to the ocean thus is a plus. Of course the cost is higher. Fish gas always felt and tasted fresh...even though it was frozen. You can call in special orders as well. Large freezer selection of prepared dishes. They have a small pantry as well with some specialty items. Nothing beats if the boat products but this is house. read more

My husband and I found the best seafood store to buy New Zealand King Salmon fillets. This type of salmon not only tastes so good, every bite melts in your mouth. The store is clean and the people working here are very friendly. read more

I am a great cook but was intimidated to try sushi at home. Walked into sierra gold and asked some newbie questions, bought a few things and have been back nearly every week since! Julie made great recommendations for me, and trims up the fish in the blink of an eye. Super warm and friendly, very adept and efficient. Christopher answered yet more questions and showed me where some things were, offered ice for the drive home. I've gotten this level of service every time whether they're packed or I happen to luck out and there's no line. They are a small place but between the offering of fresh and frozen, some premade salads/sides, and some accessories, (nori? Sushi mat? Pickled ginger? Yes to all) it's perfect and I know that everything they have is fresh. I think the commercial side of the business supplies most of the sushi restaurants in town, which is probably why Reno has great sushi. You can find more exotic ingredients OR a wider selection of condiments elsewhere in town but they may have a layer of dust or your fish may smell fishy. You will likely not get the friendly and knowledgeable service! Try out this gem. read more

8/6/2024- My neighbor bbq'd some snapper last night.. and the aroma carried over into my backyard.. I had to text her to see what she was grilling.. She mentioned she picked up some snapper and sent me a pic of the poke marinade she's been using.. Of course, I had to check it out. I've been wanting to get some yellow tail to make a jalaleno Carpaccio.. but the piece was way too big.. (I'll wait until my boys come down).. Staff was very helpful and let me sample the poke with the marinade.. Also picked up some snapper- (although I like a cod).. but wanted to try it.. So glad to revisit.. I'll be back for some hamachi and some calamari steaks.. .. read more

First time here! So incredible! The biggest selection of frozen seafood I've ever seen! I'm a weirdo, I prefer to buy my seafood frozen. They do have a small case of fresh fish, and a few fun items to compliment your meal. I got there as they were about to close at 6pm, sorry! The staff was friendly, and helpful. I got the frozen trout fillets, and made a coconut curry with cabbage and pearled barley with mushrooms. Can't wait to go back when I have more time to shop. read more

The seafood is fresh!!!!!!! The salads are great and the customer service is AMAZING!!!!!

You walk in to a wall of freezers. A few fresh options but mostly farmed fish. If you want fresh fish, I would pass on Sierra Gold.

This review is for the king crab legs that we bought from there for our New Year's Eve dinner! Omygoodness! They were fabulous and outstandingly beyond delicious. They were sizable and so fresh tasting. Best ones we've ever had for the 10+ years we've been having king crab legs for NYE dinners. Perhaps because it's the first time we've bought them from Sierra Gold. Although it's pricey ($46 per pound), they will be our source from here on for king crab legs! It's worth it! Service was super nice too---so helpful, everyone helped. Goal this year is to shop for seafood there more often! read more

This weekend we went with Scottish salmon for a dinner party. At $15.99/lb so so much better than Whole Foods: fresh and tasty. Last week we bought 2 dozen Chrome oysters and mussels for pasta. Great service, solid advice, and affordable prices for the selection and quality. read more

I have been to this place a few times. I have also spent over $100 each time I have gone. I didn't have a problem with the food , it was the customer service that makes me not want to go back. Every time I have gone in I get a very cold feeling from the staff. There is no greeting and we just get stared at until we make an order. I got no thank you and I could go spend my hard earned money somewhere else . They act like they couldn't be bothered with our business. It's really sad , they are locally owned and they should appreciate that they have so much business , not like it's a bother to wait on you. read more

Great fresh crab, long lines but if you have a large order you can pre-order and pick up without waiting in line.

I haven't had the pleasure of shopping there yet but very much looking forward to it this week. This rating is simply based on a phone call conversation I just had. Michelle answer the phone very kindly and right away. Transferred me to the correct team member for my question. Christian was not only very knowledgeable and helpful, but had a fun energy about him that maybe look forward to working with their team. read more

Wonderful selection all fair priced . Seemed thdt it can get busy on crab legs are the special as it was the day I went. But the line moved smoothly and. The selection of fresh seafood was awesome. I bought ckss as ms for my mother's clams and rice recipe. She had made it a month or more earlier. We got our clams from a billionaire owned. Grocery chain that smelled of bleach. However the ingredients we got from sierra gold was extremely fresh and the delicious. Go here leave whole paycheck to those that do not have sierra gold as an option. Do yourself the favor. Impress your friends /family with some of the freshest crab. They have had. . The staff all seemed very knowledgeable and available to help as well as willing to. I did not have may questions but heard them answering other patrons questions without getting to wordy as I said the line was/store was packed do they were mindful to keep it moving. . I appreciated that. read more

Are you looking for sushi grade fish for your homemade sushi and nigiri then look no further this is the place! So many choices and so fresh! I took a cooking class and this was the place that the chef told us to go to. I only wish that it was closer. Bring your ice chest and bring home the best tasting fish ever! read more

I still love sierra gold, but the quality hasn't been the same as it used to be for crab. Last couple snow crab buys were comparable to regular grocery store snow crab legs (small, salty) and a bummer because they are double or more the cost from a grocery store. Our latest buy was king crab legs. Granted they were huge, but half of the leg is inedible because it's sooo salty. The leg meat was bordering almost too salty as well. Sucks because there is usually so much good meat in the body, but we had to toss it. So wasteful. They are still my first choice for seafood in town, but the consistent quality is waving and not as much of a draw as it used to be. Anyways. Beware. Lobster tails have been great and the sushi selection is nice. read more

I've been meaning to write a review for years....I started shopping there as soon as they opened to the public. First of all the family is amazing, the customer service is amazing and they will assist you with any questions you have. That's important with Seafood. I use them exclusively, there is no place else in Reno whose seafood can hold a candle to theirs. Their prices are competitive-King Crab was cheaper here than at Whole Foods or Costco! You can find cheaper seafood, but it won't be fresh or anywhere near the quality as here. My regulars are Halibut, Salmon, and Shrimp, and King Crab for holidays! I cannot recommend them enough! Never has a bad experience in 13 years!! The only glitch are their limited hours, so plan ahead - Tuesday-Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. read more

Sierra Gold Seafood - Sashimi - Seafood Markets Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Have been on a search for good seafood, especially crab since moving from the Gulf in Texas to NW Nevada. I happened upon this place when looking for a seafood market. Let me tell you what, the quality of fish/seafood and the price are spot on. When entering the store, they have a huge freezer case on one side and merchandise all around the store. Seasonings, sauces etc. All nice and neat, very clean Here's where it gets interesting. These Bairdi snow crabs are gigantic. I mean 1 pound per cluster. Some of the best I have had in my life. The Dungeness crab were also quite large. We took it all home and cooked/heated them the next day. These things were so large I had to use 2 pots and finagle them to all fit. They also do a small cut off of shell on the king crab legs. Thats a huge help in getting to that succulent meat!! The staff were extremely nice. Assured us they would always have these in stock. I'll never buy seafood at a grocery store again. It is worth the drive to Sparks for pick up. read more

One of the few buffets that serve king crab where many only have snow or dungeness. Huge.

What a great source for home cooks to have in Reno. When throwing a seafood dinner party, it's a must shop store. I bought the most beautiful Chilean sea bass to feed 8 people. I couldn't help but just admire it for a while before cooking it. read more

Wanna eat restaurant quality seafood at home? Easy. Shop here. Yeah. You do need to know how to cook, but if you're shopping at a fish market, that should be a given. This time around we wanted to make our own sushi, and Sierra Gold had the goods and the advice on what to do with them when we get em home. We picked up a whole side of hamachi, a package of minced tuna (frozen), fake crab stick, and some little neck clams to make up for two meals. The minced tuna was so light and fresh, and since it was already minced, it was easy to season up as spicy tuna to use in temaki and maki rolls. For the hamachi, we were advised to cut the piece we wanted to enjoy for this meal before it had thawed and freeze the portion we wouldn't need for this meal, which was a great tip. I cut the filet into thirds and wrapped up two pieces for another night. The piece of hamachi, minced tuna and crab stick was enough fish to prepare a bunch of rolls across 2-3 meals with snacks in between! So much fun and so so delicious and rewarding. Highly recommend this shop! read more

We grew up near the coast so we are used very fresh seafood. I love to cook. I stopped at Sierra Gold for the first time today and picked up some fresh oysters and some Chilean sea bass. They have the best service and the store is stocked with tons of great items to make a fine meal. I've never shucked an oyster before so I watched a YouTube video . Ummm...it's hard when you don't know what you're doing. About an hour later (I literally almost wanted to use a hammer at one point but restrained myself) we had oysters on the half shell that were so good! Is there a class on shucking oysters? I'd pay for that! The sea bass was amazing served with beurre blanc, mashed potatoes, and grilled asparagus. This reminded me of a great night out near the coast...except we did it at home thanks to this great seafood market. read more

I love this place. It's during Lent that I usually shop at this place as I don't really like seafood. I eat shrimp, lobster, and clam chowder, though. They have good prices and great quality products. I have never gotten anything bad from there. My husband eats. More seafood than i do, such as crab, catfish, and trout, just to name a few. Everything I've gotten him from Sierra Gold, he says, tastes fresh and great. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place. read more

Nice, clean seafood market with lots of choices. Staff was helpful and friendly and they have a book filled with recipes that you can take with you. They also have every type of seasoning and sauces that you would need. We just spent a little over $100 and had a feast for 3 with leftovers. We got snow crab legs, shrimp, scallops, mussels and crabmeat. We made crab cakes with the crab meat and threw everything else in the steam pot with some corn and potatoes and it was delicious! read more

A somewhat hidden treasure tucked away in the industrial area of Sparks, but finally I searched it out. I now know it took me far too long to go here for the first time. Totally a positive experience. I was looking for some smoked haddock in particular. A food I enjoyed growing up in Australia and now hoping to find here. I checked their huge freezer but did not see it, however, did find a lovely big bag of frozen smoked trout. I grabbed it as knew that was going home with me. I asked one of the very pleasant ladies at the counter if they had any smoked haddock and she said, do you mean, Finnan Haddie! Yes! Yes! I was thrilled someone knew it was called that. They had one large piece on the very top shelf and was thrilled to be able to take it home. I perused all the other goodies as know I shall return. Two Maine lobster tails for $33 had my name on them so shall have to go back for them at the very least. Super clean, lovely selection of all the seafood you would expect to see and prices that are appropriate as you can see the quality of their seafood. I must say, the warm welcome and assistance from their efficient and knowledgeable staff make as much an impact as the quality of their seafood. I will be back, and often! read more
