FRESH FRESH AND FRESH!!!
Came by Seafood City on Saturday to pick up some Sea Urchin for only $10 a piece. Seafood City will even open it up for you and scoop out the uni, and place it in a container for you to take home and enjoy.
You cannot beat the price, and did I mention it's fresh ;)
Enjoy...I sure did. -

Definitely my usual for seafood on Granville Island, Seafood City knows their stuff, as they should after 25 years in the biz. There's something good about buying Kumamotos and Kusshis from a kind elderly Japanese woman, and that sashimi-grade tuna looks delish, though I've yet to try it. The oysters, manilas, local spot prawns, and everything else I've had from here is top notch - reliable and exceedingly fit for fine entertaining.
The only unbonus I can think of: they're heavy on the unsustainable packaging - sometimes double or tripple bagging in non-biodegradable plastic bags. Switch to biodegradable bags and that last star might be in order!Listed in: My Favourite Island that Isn't

I picked up some delicious wild salmon here. The lady on staff offered a lot of help for me to make my decision and she was really perky. She explained the different types of salmon they had in stock, pointed out which was farmed and which was wild and also noted whether the fish had been previously frozen or not. There were also steaks and fillets to choose from.
These are all important factors in fish shopping and in the price of the fish! I chose wild Coho steaks and they was absolutely delicious. It cost $15 for two big steaks. -

OK, I comparison shop when buying seafood, it's all about the quality and source. I picked up some Saltspring Island mussels one Sunday and many were dead (didn't open when steamed, they were DOA). Weeks later I was back for more mussels and carefully picked through the holding tank and filled the scoop then had it dropped into the bag by the fellow at the counter, while he was weighing them I mentioned these looked better as the last batch had allot of dead ones in it. He handed me the bag and wouldn't take any money, THAT IS SERVICE. I wasn't fishing for a deal I was just telling him for his information. He said "enjoy these".

Despite there being 2 other fish shops on the island, I always come here. Partly because they carry things the others don't (like mackerel and herring when available) and mostly because the family that runs it is so attentive and friendly. Always, always, always they are smiling and helpful. Even when busy they offer to clean your fish if it is whole. When I get service like I do here, I will always come back.

Seafood City is a great place to get fresh seafood on Granville Island. They have a good selection and a friendly staff. If you have more shopping ahead of you, they are happy to hold onto your purchase and keep it refrigerated for you. Just don't forget to pick it up before you leave!
