As a foodie on a budget, and in these time of INSANE food and gas prices, I was so chuffed to find out about this place. No, it's not a regular market, it's a wholesale spot and the staff are obviously there to do their job as wholesale purveyors. It's a blessing that they sell to individuals who walk in! I got a huge lobster that was about three pounds for less than $40. This is gonna be my go to spot for shellfish!

This is NOT a retail outlet, so don't expect white glove service. This is mainly a supplier to restaurants etc. BUT they are willing to sell direct to the public and they are very responsive to enquiries on email. So if you have questions, mail ahead and come prepared. The deals on seafood if it's in stock are amazing enough to compensate for this being a busy workplace where you're not the center of attention.

Fresh fish at a very decent price (we got lobster and two crabs for Xmas). As long as you don't mind that what you're after is not always available.

I found this place online by accident. I called and they answered and then I had a few more questions so I messaged them and they answered within 20 minutes. The crabs were in multiple sizes as well as the lobsters. They were very helpful and gave me a price far below any of the public stores including Costco, Safeway, Luckys or the Ranch 99 . I bought the lobsters that were less lively as well as the crabs. I will be back once a month. I was extremely happy!

I haven't ordered from this business yet, but I tried calling them a couple of times towards the end of their working hours and no one was able to pick up. I thought it was a long-shot, but I tried to shoot them an email instead and the owner promptly replied to my inquiries the next day at 6AM with the pricing of the seafood that I requested. The prices seemed very reasonable and I am hoping to check them out this weekend! Definitely shoot them an email if you can't reach out to them through phone calls!

How can I be the first to give them a review?? They have quite the following on fb, so hmm...Maybe their fans don't want others to discover their "secret" select purveyor of fresh seafood. Norcal is a wholesaler, which also does retail, so you're getting it almost outta the ocean--other then buying it off the boat or fishing it outta the water yourself. So yeah it's all fresh and live. Nothing on ice here. They have huge holding tanks in the back of all the faves: Dungeness, New England Lobster, Spot Prawns, and Red King Crab, the King of the Kings, of which I've already bought two for my family's now annual indulgence. Btw, the Kings are from Norway, not Alaska. So they don't have the Deadliest Catch celebrity, but they do have the same DNA, taste and snarl. And prices are competitive. The Red King was $3 cheaper per pound than a shop in Oaktown Chinatown. (I'm Chinese, of course I comparison shopped!) They also offer some exotic fare. (Turbot anyone?) Check their website for a list. So come by and load up the suv with crates for your crab feast or any of the other kinds of sea feast. Or just snag a single crustacean for your couple's meal. It's all the way live...until you sink it into your boiling pot. And for those of you who had been keeping this place under wraps, sorry if I blew the cover off of this "secret."

Horrible customer service, you get there and aak for help they will just walk pass you and ignore you. Ive never experience such horrible customer service anywhere but here. They only help their Asian people. Im never coming to this damn place.

Unbelievablely huge lobsters & crabs, tough to park, bring your own cooler, but our Covid Seafood feast rocked!

I drove alongside their driver on Highway 80 eastbound at 10 AM on a Saturday morning and their driver was on the phone the whole time I was next to them. They need to address this situation ASAP. Hopefully the photo I took of him will be published on this site soon
