About Hillsboro Seafood Market

Hillsboro Seafood Market has undergone some changes, now featuring shelves of products and still offering fresh crab and lobster. It remains a nice store focused on selling fresh seafood, depending on the season. Customers appreciate the market's fresh offerings, with many praising the quality and longer-lasting freshness of whole fish with heads intact. The market also has live crabs, and the staff is friendly, though knowing Spanish is helpful since the owner/worker doesn't speak English. The market brings a nostalgic feel, similar to a corner shop from childhood neighborhoods. Customers often bring their own bags, as they will pack the fish or crab with a polythene cover, and extra bags require a small fee. Visitors can find a variety of frozen seafood like calamari, octopus, and shrimp, along with snacks such as awesome Chicharron. Many customers recommend calling ahead to confirm availability of live lobsters. The market is family-owned and offers a great experience for those wanting to practice Spanish while shopping for oysters, which are known to stay viable for days in the fridge with damp towels. The service is praised as amazing, and customers enjoy the opportunity to buy and cook oysters, especially for holidays or special occasions.
