Groomer's Seafood

We were just here Saturday morning to buy crawfish and salmon belly to cook for our early Saturday dinner Mother's Day celebration. As usual, we were satisfied with the freshness of the seafood items they sell here, the cleanliness of their store and on top of that the great customer service. We were always happy to get assistance from their staff and each and every one we met were very warm, pleasant and helpful.It's always a great experience shopping here plus the free food samples are always tasty and satisfying.

If you are looking for fresh seafood, then I highly suggest Groomers. My fiance and I got oysters from the other day, and they were really good.We did not have any trouble finding any parking. We went during a week day this time. Other times, we have gone during weekend and had to park on the street.The customer service there is always helpful and quick. We put in our order at the counter, and they called us over when it was ready. When we got the oysters, we thought it might not be enough, so we asked for another order of oysters. They were very accommodating and added it to the order without issue.The inside is decorated with items related to sea and ocean. It was disappointing that at the time, the website was down for taking orders. I considered lowering the rating to a 4 because of this. In the end, I decided to still give 5 stars and considered all the great service they gave in the past.

Seafood Friyay!! Just finished stopping by for some 10/20 Scallops, Yellowfin Tuna Sashimi, Mixed Cuts Salmon and a package of Lobster Empanadas. We had the Scallops and Lobster Empanadas just now. Seared the scallops in Kirkland Grass Fed butter which we got 1 pound and yielded about 17 pieces and baked the Empanadas for about 25 minutes at 420º. The scallops were sweet and I ended up splashing some lemon juice to bring out the sweetness. The Empanadas were spicy according to the hubs but he liked the spice. I remember that from the tasting we had a few months ago. I've got the Yellowfin Tuna cut up in slices for Sashimi but I want it nicely chilled so will dive into that in a bit. Will make Salmon Soup with the Mixed cuts tomorrow. We passed on the Crab Cakes & Ceviche this time. There was a female vendor out frying some samples for folks to try: Crab Cakes, Grouper, Catfish & some other stuff. I noticed they offer Deluxe Crab Cakes now which has scallops added to the recipe. Service is always swift.

Daughter wanted steak and lobster...Where can I find really fresh high quality salmon, shrimp, lobster tails and crawdad meat???Groomers!! My wife being a San Antonio native has been talking about Groomers for years...no I did not listen. But a close friend of mine is neighbors with Rick...he bought a ton of crawdads recently and we put on a boil for a men's gathering. I was floored at the quality!If you want really excellent quality fresh seafood, Groomers is THE place to get it in San Antonio. I went on Saturday in preparation for daughter's family coming in for a visit.Needless to say we spent an hour just talking with people and my wife and daughter and grandson ran around sampling everything.The service, the atmosphere, the friendliness of literally everyone was incredible.Blake and the team took such great care of us!I bought Canadian Salmon..mind blown. Lobster tails in 4 sizes, alligator sausage, jumbo shrimp, crawdad meat, seasonings...it was like a movie.I told Rick he won me over and I will be back ...Groomer Team...such a fantastic culture of customer service, knowledge and caring. I will be back often.Reagan R

You can't get fresh seafood anywhere in San Antonio other than Groomer's. The selection of items is amazing. They have plenty of spices for anything you are cooking, equipment to include Large boiling pots, burners and grills and utensils. The staff here is super friendly as you walk through the door. They will walk to you and ask if you need help. They even take your order for fresh food and have it brought to the counter and will call your name so that you can see what you are getting before you actually pay for it. The items that you buy and packaged well in a bag, with ice if needed, and then in to a box that is sealed with tape. You don't have to worry about that fresh seafood smell left in your car on a hot San Antonio day.I like my H-E-B, but for fresh seafood and at a less expensive price, I will come here for everything I need.

***Added after original review.... Funny story... I've been cooking salmon for as long as I can remember which means my almost 6 year old dog also gets an unseasoned portion as well. This dog is SO spoiled that when I give him a new food or treat- he has to take it outside to taste by himself. Again, he's almost 6 and gets salmon at least 1-2 times a month. This salmon was so tender and amazing, he thought that it was a new food. He picked a piece up and took it outside to try. He immediately ran back inside to get the rest. This is how freaking amazing the salmon was. I've never had fish so good in my life and I'm from the state that you know... everyone hates. So ya, I'm a forever customer! ***Fantastic customer service! Top notch!!!This was our first time here and we were so surprised at how busy it was as well as how large the building is! We weren't exactly sure what to get or how to order so we just kinda stood there lol. An employee asked if this was our first time and proceeded to explain e writhing to us as well as taking us over to the cases. We ended up ordering lobster, shrimp and salmon. We made the shrimp last night and it was so fresh and delicious! Oh how I've missed fresh seafood! We're having the salmon tonight and I'm so excited to try it since the employee explained to me how much better it's going to taste. I will for sure be back. Probably weekly. I'm in love with this place!!

We drive to Groomers every Friday. The fish is so fresh. If you want crabs or crawfish they have that as well depending on the season. They have reasonable prices for the quality of the food.

Excellent variety of seafood - staff very helpful - our first time and we will be going back - in the meantime tried the crab cakes which were delicious.

Ordered $300 worth of items for pick up on 12/24. Received email from them confirming my order. When I showed up to pick up my order I was told that it had been canceled with no reason why.I tried to buy off the shelf but wad told by E their main b....h that I was rude to them so that refused to sell to me.The manager there is a joke and has no idea what customer service means.He should go and ask for his job back at macdonalds employees like him are what make companies close their doors.

It was so clean! And everyone was so sweet. The for was also really good!I def recommend if u want a fun night out with ya peeps‍
