Not very impressed

by giljab

I read the reviews on here and being a seafood fan decided to try the store. Being for the East Coast I am a big fan of FRESH seafood, but after seeing the selections on this Friday I will continue to shop at Whole Foods. WHY? In the case was "fresh" Chilean Seabass which when pressed for details they inform me it was "refreshed" cut from previously frozen whole fish. Next with asked the origin of their Blue Point Oysters (which are native to New York) I found the shellfish tag to read product of Chesapeake Virgina. For the normal customer, this may not be a problem but I have a serious trust issue about a company that misleads people in this manner. Just be honest !!!

• Cons: Mis-leading fish items

Great Customer Service

by Emma24

My husband and I are incredibly grateful to have such a wonderful establishment in which to buy our fish. Today, my husband brought our daughter to Bob's where the lady behind the counter (I believe Barb) showed her the lobsters and crawfish. When she told my husband that she never eats scallops in the form of sushi, she offered him some free scallops of a type we'd never tried and asked us to report back. The tuna, salmon, and scallops are ALWAYS fresh and flavorful! The customer service couldn't be better!!We would never consider buying our fish from any other store or market.

• Pros: Excellent fish with excellent service and knowledgeable staff
• Cons: NONE!

Yummers

by marymarynotcontrary

I went to Bob's for the very first time this past weekend -- and I will never buy seafood at the grocery store again!!

The service was great -- I was greeted before I even had a chance to "take a number". I was given a tour of the lobster case and ended up purchasing two of the lovely lobbies. I am not a big fan of cooking them on my own, but armed with the 2 pages of instructions/suggestions that they gave me, it was a BREEZE!!

I was also given a short talk on my other favorite -- Chilean Sea Bass -- by Barb.

Best of all, it is only a hop, skip and a jump from my casa in U City.

SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Pros: Clean, bright, well displayed
• Cons: none except that good, fresh fish can sometimes be expensive

Freshest Seafood In The Midwest

by C481

I've been buying my seafood at Bob's since he first went into business over twenty years ago. You won't find fresher, higher quality seafood anywhere else in St. Louis. The prices are reasonable and the employees are customer-oriented. Barb is there everyday. Stop in and say hello. You'll wonder how you could have ever gone anywhere else for high quality seafood.

• Pros: high quality, friendly service
