5+ stars! The Fish Club is a great way to get your hands on the best seafood around, and they offer delivery on this monthly subscription, which is handy if you live in Edmonton Rob and the team go above and beyond - from the variety, sustainable and top notch products, quality packaging and customer service. I highly recommend that you support this small business! You will not be disappointed.

Service was so good and the lady helped us get some different oysters. Never seen fresh oysters for such a good price. Definitely a little far from downtown but completely worth it!

Great seafood. Don't even bother asking him for "sushi grade" fish - everything he has is SUSHI GRADE! Best selection of oysters in town as well, and great service.

Spectacular kindness and knowledge shown by the staff. Has a huge selection of great quality fresh seafood, and amazing made in house items.

You won't find friendlier service or more knowledge about seafood. The owner personally drives out to the airport to get the freshest fish within hours of it coming off the boat.

Great quality seafood, knowledgeable and friendly staff, fair prices; this place is great. Definitely one of St. Albert’s hidden gems.

Great experience every time, so nice to have quality seafood so close to home. The staff and owners are the real deal, they know Seafood and take pride in everything they do. Recently starting to make regular visits on the weekend even if it’s something small with dinner etc My personal go to and must have are their fresh clams! You will not get better clams in Alberta.great in their own or mix in with your own style of Pasta with Clams

Amazing store stocked full of a wide variety of high quality seafood. They have fresh and frozen options and a lot of delicious already prepared meal options. They were happy to offer advice on cooking the seafood we had purchased, which I found to be super helpful. Definitely worth a visit!

I LOVE this place! My sister and I visited the store twice. Both times were a little adventure, woo hoo! In these times, it was a fun, friendly, and informative experience. They know their stuff and seem to love to share! The adventure and experience shared reminded me of “the good old days”. The food was amazing and we used the tips received at the shop. I would recommend this shop to everyone I know. Don’t forget to meet a smile with a smile, you won’t be disappointed!

Effing seafood offers the highest quality in fresh fish and not to mention the owner Rob is super friendly. Great local shop

Was a happy customer until a recent very disappointing purchase of frozen scallops. When I defrosted and cooked the scallops, I discovered that they had an ammonia smell which indicates that they were rotten and had gone bad. The scallops probably were beginning to build up toxins. It is extremely dangerous to sell spoiled seafood, as someone should never eat items like this, since it can cause great sickness or even death. Even more disappointing was that I immediately contacted Effing Seafoods about the problem but received no response. Extremely disappointed.

Please confirm.

Rob is a passionate, well educated professional in his industry. The quality of product in his store is second to none in the province! Worth the trip from Edmonton and surrounding areas for sure! You won’t regret going to Effing Seafood and you’ll have a hard time buying seafood from anywhere else once you’ve experienced the quality and freshness here!

Thank you

We got some fresh scallops and the seafood lasagna. SOOOO DELICIOUS. Best scallops I've had in a very very long time. We will definitely be back to try some other things

Such a wonderful store to have in our community. It’s always fresh, the service is always friendly, and it’s a great experience.

I've been dealing with Rob for several years and have always found him and his team very informative and customer oriented group.

Best fish I have ever had with really knowledgeable staff. You can really see the passion they have for their products.

First time in the store today. Excited to try it but beware it's not the "cheapest" place in town. Hoping there's a good reason for that Great service from the staff!

Very clean beautiful store with a bathroom worth checking out! Lots of selection for fresh fish, live crab, and even an oyster bar.
If you are like me and know absolutely nothing about fish, Rob the owner takes the time to make sure you get what you're looking for. He and his staff are very knowledgeable about all the products they carry so I learned a lot.

Even if fish aren't your thing they have a freezer that is stocked with local products like meat pies, bone broth, dumplings and even ice cream (I recommend the pistachio!)
Well worth your trip into St Albert, just make sure you ring the bell on your way out!
26 February 2019 17:27
Best quality fish amazing staff that can answer all your questions and offer suggestions and Rob the owner goes out of his way to make sure you leave happy with your purchase and if you ask Rob will serenade you while you shop. Love this place!

Suggested that my parents check this place out for a big family dinner coming up. Service was amazing and the selection of fresh seafood was astounding!
