Why is your fish better than grocery store fish?
We order in small amounts daily from reputable suppliers who know
our stringent standards. Some items come direct from the source.
Most of our fish we buy whole and cut them to order. Dirk has
had almost 30 years in the fish business and was one of the owners
of Burhop’s Seafood for 12 years. Erik, Jerry and Chris
also have years of experience in the fish biz. We know fish and
love to cook it. You will never walk out of the store wondering
how to cook your purchase.

How fresh is your fish?
Our fish comes in everyday, except Sundays. Depending on the variety
it is usually 2 to 4 days out of the water. Most of our fish
is cut when you need it. Our lobsters and crabs are flown in
directly and are live when you take them home. Our multiple varieties
of clams, mussels, and oysters are live and ready to eat. You
will get at least a 2 day shelf life out of all our fish. Eat
it sooner the better!

Why does your shrimp taste better than grocery
store shrimp?
To begin with, we carry a wild caught Gulf of Mexico shrimp. We
think the flavor and texture of these shrimp are superior to most
other shrimp, especially farmed varieties. Our shrimp are cooked
here at the shop daily. We also have a great cocktail sauce to
go with!
