After reading mixed reviews, I decided to try out Best Catch for myself. What a joke! Lazy AND rude…read moremakes for a pretty bad combo. They say they are open until 7pm, but when I arrived at 5:43pm, the door was locked, and the 3 employees inside shoo'd me away. I continued to try to ask why they were closing up, and pointed at the sign on the door saying 7pm, but rather than communicate to me - literally trying to give them money- they just continued to shoo me away. When I pulled out my phone to take a photo of the sign on the door and the two employees inside ignoring me, they both (asian and black guy) ducked away to not be photographed. If that's the kind of employees you have, i would NEVER trust them to safely handle seafood. Now i believe the other reviews saying they found worms in the fish and were ignored by the staff and not helped!

It was my wife's birthday. Her family was in town. She wanted to do an oyster roast. They were not…read morein season, but this very well-known fish market in town had them, my mom had called. But my mom and dad warned me, this fish market was run by a VERY eccentric, very ancient woman who would often kick people out just for the slightest misunderstanding. My father-in-law goes with me and we're like 'Okay, just go in, pay for the oysters, get them, get out'. Easy. There are about two dozen buzzards in the parking lot and on her car, just chilling. She called them her babies. The woman is easily 800 years old. The building itself looks like I've been transported to a grungy building in the 80s. The lady greets us with a smile, and that smile fades immediately at my father-in-law. Growling, she tells him; "You take off." and points to his sunglasses. So, he reaches up and takes them off. She smiles again and says, "Now I am safe." She goes on and on about how turtles are smarter than people and she goes down to the pond near her house to talk to them. She apparently has written a few books about them. Then she takes my card. Asks to see my license to confirm the name. Okay, sure. 'James Smith'. She starts calling me Captain James. My father-in-law texts me despite standing right next to me; "Are we being punk'd???" She keeps talking for 25 minutes and does not bring us the oysters. Eventually she asks what I do for a living. I tell her I'm a youth pastor. She says "Ah, I knew you were a man of influence. You remind me of Jim Jones. You know Jim Jones? Good man, good-looking too. Very influential. You are good looking too." She finally waves for us to follow her into the back. Jim Jones. As in the cult leader, Jim Jones. As in Jonestown, the murderer and awful human being who killed an entire town of people, Jim Jones. This was not the compliment she thought it was. My father-and-law and I look at each other, horrified and stunned. This didn't feel real. She leads us into the freezer in the back. There were wet tables and unattended knives everywhere. It looks like it has not been cleaned nor repaired in decades. She tells me to go in and grab the box of oysters. My father-in-law stays outside because he is legitimately afraid that she was going to lock us in. We grab the box of oysters. She continues to talk. Tells me to keep changing lives, just like Jim Jones. We leave. My father-in-law and I do not say a word for about 5 miles, until he just says, "Holy shit." Now the place is closed and I'm very confident it is haunted.

Last week, I called ahead and ordered two branzino with Pete. He cleaned and scaled them for me,…read morewhich I really appreciated since it was my first time cooking this fish. I was a little nervous, but also excited--and Pete made the whole process easy. He was very pleasant to talk to. I learned that branzino isn't something they always keep in stock, so it's best to call ahead and order. While I was there, I also picked up thyme, rosemary, lemon, red onions, regular onions, and honey, which saved me a trip to the grocery store. The shop was very clean and didn't have that strong fishy smell, which I liked. I was greeted right away, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, it was a great shopping experience. I'm already planning to order a whole red snapper next--or maybe even baby back ribs--since ordering here is so easy. I'll attach photos of how the branzino turned out.
