   Price point is higher than other fish markets in the area but the menu is more extensive. I walked in to no greeting and no assistance on how/where I should order. The setup of this market is weird, the counter to order steamed/fried food is right by the door (which I realized later) but I walked right past it towards the back, where the fresh seafood is. A woman back there told me to order at the counter and the girl is coming to take my order.

   I ordered the #64, tilapia fillet with 5 jumbo shrimp and a side for $11.99. The sides options were cabbage, carrots and string beans; I wanted asparagus which the cashier informed me was $3 additional, what?!? After lots of questioning as to why the price was different she just gave it to me for no additional. I was then asked if I wanted juicy steamed or dry steamed, I opted for juicy steamed. I also ordered 24 raw clams on the half shell for $1 each, that's expensive. She then proceeded to tell me how much work it would be……ok…..

   After 20 minutes of waiting everything was ready and I headed to a friends house to dig in. A first glance I was disappointed with the amount of food I received; at first bite I was impressed with how delightfully seasoned everything was. I had asked for old bay and lots of garlic; After my food was steamed she added more powdered garlic, old bay and their garlic sauce. Everything was good definitely satisfied my seafood craving.

   I know nothing about clams, but my friend stated the clams had a fishy taste not a fresh water taste, an indication they were old.

   There are plenty of other fish markets in the area that offer good seafood at a cheaper price, I will not be returning.
