Fantastic seafood at a great price. Just checked the quantity that you walk away with. I walked away with five oysters and paid for six.

No better than Stop and Shop or Market Basket.Weird vibe here,like they re doing you a favor selling mediocre product.

Things are changing for sure, AP used to be the best around for years. I have bought smelly old cod two times now. It was supposed to be the "daily catch", how about last weeks catch? Not worth the trip, just go someplace else for fish.

I love cooking seafood and trying out new recipes. I cook some form of seafood usually about twice a week. Often I'll find recipes I want to try out, but the fish or shellfish needed is tough to find in grocery stores. That's why I wanted to find a local fish monger: I thought it could be my go-to spot for more obscure seafood. After going to this place a couple of times though, I've realized it isn't really worth it to make the extra trip. The selection isn't much better than Market Basket. The only item they seem to carry that MB doesn't have every week is catfish. However, A&P only sells whole catfish with the fin on. I need fillets as I like to deep fry them. Now, maybe the staff would fillet for me if asked, but those dudes don't seem to want to be there. I don't want to ask them to fillet for me. I'd rather just substitute MB Tilapia the weeks that MB doesn't have catfish fillets (the weeks that Market Basket DOES have catfish fillets, they are excellent quality). I went there today looking for Black Cod (also called Sablefish or Butterfish). This is something MB never has. A&P doesn't have it either. I asked the guy behind the counter anyway. I figured maybe he would give me more info: like maybe they sometimes get it in, or maybe he'd suggest a good substitute. Like....Idk! I'm going to a small specialty store because I figured I'd get more specialized service. Guy just looked at me with a bored expression and said "Nah." The service at MB seafood counter is much better. They've often made conversation with me about when I could expect certain fish in or suggested substitutions. The only items A&P carries that Market Basket doesn't always have are the live crabs and lobsters. So if you make these a lot, A&P might work for you. As far as the types of fish: Market Basket carries all the same stuff, for comparable prices, with better service. Neither MB nor A&P carries soft shell crab and I'm still on the hunt for a fish monger where I can semi-regularly buy this. All in all, I decided to check this place out to see if it would be worth the extra trip. Would the fish be better quality? Nope. MB has similar quality. Would there be a better selection of items? Nope. MB selection is huge. The only reason you'd need to go to A&P is if you needed live crab or lobster or whole catfish. Are the prices better? Nope. I compared all of my most frequently bought items. The prices are identical to MB in most cases and only a dollar or two off in a few cases. If Shrewsbury hadn't gotten a Market Basket, this store would probably be worth the trip, because Shaws seafood selection stinks. But since MB has such a big selection, and since A&P doesn't have more obscure items, higher quality, lower prices, or better customer service, there just isn't any reason to make a second trip. If A&P ever starts carrying soft shell crab, catfish fillets, black cod, and other items that I can't get at Market Basket, then I'll check them out again.

I went in the mkt. This afternoon. Rude employees. Like l was bothering them. Fish was good. The coleslaw is a disaster. Too much horseradish and Red onion should never be in it. Not sweet at all. I had to redo it when l got home. Not balanced at all. Where ever u buy it, cancel it. Or whomever is making it, stop them.

Great seafood to go. Reasonable prices. It's our Fish store I've heard Christy shops there, or so I've been told

I bought 6 pound and a half lobsters. When I got home there were two pound and a half and underneath, there were 4 chicken lobsters. SomI paid the pound and half rate for 4 chickens. Never again.

Excellent selection. Decent prices. Being handicapped, they assisted me with shopping.
Been going there for over 10 years and for the second time I got bad fish and didn't say anything the first time as we all go sick the first time but I cooked it and decided maybe wasn't them. The second time my family said it smells disgusting and i didn't cook it. I put it in the freezer till I could go there and talk to them. I went 4-5 days later and the employees went out of there way to make me uncomfortable and chastise me as much as they could. They said were your receipt and I said I throw it away per usual when I buy something they said well no receipts no exchange or refund. Despite what I said and the fish being the original packing with the sticker price displaying the name they kept doing there best to make me uncomfortable and saying non-stop things like learn to take care of your fish and everyone saves their receipt (really? nobody does). I left my name and number for the owner to call and to no surprise he never called. I will never go there again as I through away over $50 and on top off got severely harassed by the employees and ignored by the owner. Shame on AP as I now know your true colors, never again.

The best fresh seafood around. The variety is excellent. Keep up the great work. Our family tree is spreading and it's definitely part of our roots.

We have been coming here for years, buying fresh shellfish that we love every other month. However, today we go there and find out they are selling cherrystones and little necks by the bag! I don't know the reasoning for this is, and also they always would go in the back to get the fresher seafood, and now they were taking it from the front case which we objected to. The help is always changing and they don't always know how fresh the seafood is or when the truck will be coming in. We have waited so long to get crab, nothing available all year, until today when we called yesterday to find out if they had any. When we paid for our order and went to the car we noticed they forgot our crab! The raw oysters that were taken from the front case looked dry, so we like to eat them raw and they were as such on the dry side. No one is perfect in determining how they fresh they will be, but if in the front case the help should know when they arrived! Beginning to re-consider to not go anymore..but will give benefit of the doubt and try once more soon and see what happens. The manager should be out front making sure the help are working well. A few years ago they had the best help, now..not so much!

Our family shops here often for fresh seafood, and in hopes of supporting local businesses. We've never had a bad experience. However yesterday I left feeling really uncomfortable from this place. While I was there yesterday, it did not appear that they are abiding by COVID rules. Another customer was allowed to be in the store and make a purchase without wearing any face covering. In addition, the employer behind the counter was wearing his mask below his nose, barely hovering over his top lip. Given that they are handling with food directly, it was quiet a shock to me since numbers are currently spiking Worcester, MA.
