They have great customer service and lots of fresh offering. A little pricey but worth it.Saw they were offering a lobster tamale and had to try it. It was amazing! The green verde sauce was so good I would drink a cup of it.

If you live in Phoenix and want some of the freshest seafood in town, Nelson's is your place. If you are getting something from here to dine-in, the shop isn't really set up for that which makes it a little inconvenient. We came here right at opening and while The Wandering Tortoise next door wasn't open yet, we were told we could still sit on their shaded patio to eat our lunch. We decided to split the Half Nelson seafood tower.The tower was an amazing sight! We oohed over the freshness of all the seafood and had no trouble polishing it off. After our hour of tower, we headed back inside to get some items to take back home. i had never seen uni compound butter sold anywhere so of course I had to get some along with some monkfish and a package of Sonoran Pasta. Service was polite but a bit standoffish and gruff from one person who took our tower order but a lot more friendly from the person who rang up our take home items.

Came down to Nelson's after a couple friends called it the best lobster roll in town (not tons of options) so i figured i would be the judge of that. NAILED IT! Big chunks of meat and the celery bits on in the sauce was awesome. Bread buttered to a perfection not to greasy and had a nice crummy bite. Yes price is high but it's fresh lobster in phx az think about it.I'll be back tomorrow for oyster Thursdays, $2 a pop meet me here!

best fresh fish in AZ. Been coming here for about 4 years now. I only get the salmon or tuna Ban Mi, its my favorite fish sandwich in all of AZ and probably only challenged imo by the capital grill Steak Sandwich for overall best sandwich in AZ. Go 1/2 Jalapeno or none when they are in season or your mouth will be burning.

I haven't officially sat in for the dining experience yet, but I just got finished eating my piece of salmon that I purchased from here and it was so delicious!!!! The customer service was excellent, they have a nice variety of seafood, they also sell a select variety of other meats as well, AND they even sell eggs!!! Which I will try the next time I go there, which will be soon.I also purchased their chilled shrimp, they were good as well, the cocktail sauce that accompanied the shrimp was oh so very good. I definitely will purchase again.

I wish I had more money so I could get all my meat and fish from Nelson's lol. I've been venturing to the Phoenix location monthly for the past year and it's something I really look forward to. The fish is flown in twice a week so everything is super fresh. They even have an email list so you can keep current with what they have an oh my, the options are as endless as they are diverse. I usually have no idea what I'm doing most of the time when I walk into the store but the employees are SO helpful with cooking instructions and recommendations which is so great for a fish novice like me. There are a ton of fresh provisions so if you want to get a quick to go dip, marinade, or spread, they have those too. I think one of my favorite parts of the store is the meat section. The other month I got lucky and picked up Australian Wagyu picanha and I've been dreaming about it ever since. So many choices!!! Nelson's, please sponsor me lol.

I'll start by saying that I do like their lobster rolls. My main issue is the price. It's very expensive to spend over $30 for a single average size lobster roll with a bag of chips. I have eaten here twice and even though the lobster is tasty, the bill does leave a bit of a sour taste. I have also tried their oysters and they tasted fresh and delicious. Service is fast. I heard that they bring their lobster from Maine on Tuesdays and that's why the lobster rolls are only sold on Wednesday. I get that seafood is pricey but this would be more attractive if it were not for the price tag. There is no seating area but most people go to the bar next door to get a drink and sit there. All in all it's a good roll but not an amazing out of this world roll to justify the price. Funny thing is all probably come back because it's so close to my house however you've been warned.

Kind of an odd place, we drove 30 minutes to get here thinking it was a restaurant/ market after seeing a very misleading instagram post... once we arrived it like you have your choice of three things and nothing cooked... So we had a poke sandwich, which was good but no way was it worth driving thirty minutes to get what basically is a tuna sandwich... won't be back

Got ripped off by clerk. Had $100 gift card. Bought $85 worth of seafood. Clerk says there is a zero balance come back next time and see if there's a balance! I was born at night but not last night!
