Island Pacific Seafood Market

Super happy that this place exists and it's reasonably close to my home. I was looking for a specific item that my wife needed for a recipe and was unable to find it anywhere, including Seafood City and some of the larger Asian Grocery Stores. Sorry I'm not going to be helpful here by saying what it was but I'm not looking to have their shelves cleared by others who are having trouble finding this item. The employees were super helpful and they had a nice variety of all the things I would normally purchase from an Asian Market. Great place and we'll shop there frequently!

I love this place for its large selection of Fresh fish & meats. Also an excellent place to get authentic asian goods, bakery and grocery items.
Only down side.... The butcher and seafood counter people seem to help all the Asian shoppers before they will even acknowledge a Caucasian waiting. Been here 4 times, happened 3 out of the 4 times.
Still the best selection of seafood, meats and produce in my area.

Here you will find a lot of things Filipino/asian. Fresh fish, variety of meat and among other things you won't typically find in American groceries. A bit small for a grocery store with restaurant inside hence it might seem crowded often times. Clean little shop and well stocked.

You know you're in the right place when you frequent an Asian supermarket and you are the only Occidental in the place.
Island Pacific has all things Filipino specifically and Asian generally.
I love fresh fish but the local supermarkets just don't cut it. That's why I drive to Island Pacific's seafood market. They have everything I want packed fresh under ice, from the exotic to the mundane.
I discovered salmon backs there. There was a queue to get to the bin so I knew whatever it was had to be special. Salmon backs are just that--the back side of the fish. There are plenty of bones. However, I have never tasted salmon that sweet. Yes, sweet. Definitely worth the battle of the bones. I am now hooked. You can keep the salmon steaks!
You pick out and bag the seafood you want to buy. Then you take the bags to the worker at the end of the meat counter to weigh and tag. There are instructions posted so read carefully. My first visit was confusing until I knew the rules.
My favorite fish restaurant in Aruba is Zeerover. There you buy whole fish the owners caught that morning. Then the chefs flash fry them. That's what they do at Island Pacific Seafood Market too. At the fish weigh station you can pick from six different ways to prepare the food. (My favorite is garlic.) Then the chef flash fries the whole fish while you wait. Just as good as Zeerovers.
I never shop there without having the chef fry me up lunch.
THE best seafood market in the Southwest also has a great selection of fresh beef and pork products.
The supermarket has everything you need to prepare Asian food--from woks to vegetables. As you can see, I am intrigued by quail eggs. What do you do with quail eggs?
This is the place to buy green tea ice cream....
The Seafood Market has its own restaurant in the front of the store. There is always a line every time I've been there.
Tuesday is seniors day.
The only problem with the place is its popularity. You get in a single-file line to check out. Sometimes that line wraps halfway around the store.
But I keep going back, so it's worth the wait.
