Review from Genre S.

I can't give it a five star review simply because I have only been there twice, and have yet to cover the 'spread' of sea fruits! I can give their various cured and smoked salmon and mackerel presentations each a five star. The traditional indigenous style deep smoked ocean-wash (IE marinade) mackerel and salmon? Both a fiver. The peppered mackerel? Five. The smoked salmon steaks -- lemon or hot spiced -- five star a piece. The Salmon pate? 5 star. The smoked albacore tuna? More than five stars on that golden analogue to butter, wow. Try it all. I may give the whole place a five, once I've 'tapped' the shellfish, and cooked the raw bits up on my own. Service is respectful, professional, knowledgable and makes efficiency look like something anyone can do in a smoking jacket and ascot. Good job, good times!

Is there really a difference in the quality of seafood? OH YES!
I originally bought a pack of smoked salmon from Longliner and the day of the party, realizing I didn't have enough, I ended up buying 1 more pack at Costco. If I didn't eat the Longliner one first, I don't think I could have really tasted the difference. They were both great, but the Longliner package was 10 times better.
I also tried their caviar which was mindblowing! I couldn't afford the $350 jar... yes you read correctly, - $350! I ended up buying the $20 jar and enjoyed it with a small shot of vodka.
If it weren't for the prices, I'd eat like a Queen everyday! -

Maybe 4 giant scallops for $6.30 was a bit of a splurge for my fresh linguine pasta? But after two minutes of high heat searing, I knew I had made the right choice. Sweet and tender. Perfection!
When I am in need of quality shell fish with little time to search, Longliner is always a fail safe source for me. The staff seem to be a happy bunch and are always helpful with suggestions on how to prepare your catch.
Halibut is available here nine months out of the year, and they have local sardines here in the summer sometimes.
I haven't the foggiest idea what to do with a whole sardine, but I am definitely game for a new menu challenge soon.Listed in: Granville Island

Longliner ended up being our choice for buying our Thanksgiving ahi tuna. The staff was helpful and the fishmonger custom-cut the tuna pieces into steaks. A nice touch.
The price were comparable to the other places we'd looked for fresh seafood (although now, I'd go to Meinhardt for the tuna instead...it's gorgeous there.)
The other fresh fish selections looked plentiful and well-tended. As this spot is on the doorstep of the Fishermen's Wharf, it's perfectly position to get the best off the boat. -

In two words, quality but expensive.
When I stayed in Vancouver I stayed at a place with a kitchen so I could cook some good seafood. I steamed some great clams, mussels and sauteed some great halibut cheeks. I took some salmon home with me. They had some great smoked salmon too.
Aint cheap though. -

Longliner Seafoods is more than happy to give you an endless reservoir of culinary inspiration with a fantastically fresh seafood selection, ranging from salmon to prawns, scallops to oysters. If your skills in the kitchen leave something to be desired or you just want an easy, delicious, quick meal, Longliner has taken the guess work out with frozen seafood lasagnas in salmon, halibut or prawn and scallop. Longliner also has ready-to-travel packaged smoked salmon, should you want to take some home with you.
