Billingsgate

I don’t think they know what they’re doing. I bought a fillet once and it still had bones. I bought a whole fish and the cut for the gut was poorly done. They did ask if I wanted it scaled, but when I went to clean it before prep, the gills were still there. If you want fish, the quality is nice, but you’re better off going to other options in the area.

I’ve been shopping at Market Hall for over two decades. While Billingsgate recently took over for the previous seafood shop, I am so happy that Michelle and Pedro have continued to work in this department over the years, as their customer service is totally top notch! Michelle really goes above and beyond. It makes my day to see her and know that she will absolutely take good care of me. Pedro is also very knowledgeable and greets me with a smile. Fresh seafood, helpful staff and some really yummy offerings if you’re in the mood to have a bite right there. Thanks so much guys!!

Amazing seafood. The crab in the prepared salad was beyond excellent. This vendor has pristine products and a nice choice of made-to-order food. Sorry to hear a number of folks had poor service (I’ve been ignored too at worthy food places—just give them a chance; they are very new). One person gave a one-star rating because her sandwich from the former vendor was not on new vendor Billingsgate’s menu. Really? This is a much more sophisticated business than Hapuku. I thank Billingsgate for their excellent seafood, takeaway offerings and professional staff (that might still be so new they just need tines to be better).

Contrary to the previous reviews, I actually had a pleasant experience with this merchant. Keep in mind that Rockridge market is packed, especially if you go on a weekend. I waited patiently, asked for recommendations from staff, and kept my interaction concise to keep the flow of traffic. Food was fantastic. Clean, simple, and fresh. Price is as expected because of location and caliber of seafood cuisine

I have been a patron of Market Hall Foods for almost two decades, I love how everything is fresh and how the buyers keep finding new exciting things to try. In these years I enjoyed getting fresh fish and prepared foods from their fish and seafood counter. The clam chowder and fish and chips were excellent treats! Well… there’s a new kid in town and they are not friendly to me (I figure to anyone who looks like me). I was reading their menu today -poorly displayed with tiny font- and I was excited to get some ceviche, until I saw another lady being cheerful and aggressively pursued by a man and a woman who were awfully close to me but had completely ignored me. They greeted her, offered to answer her questions and gave recommendations, to which she started walking away… I was looking at them, still invisible. Now, IDKY but I no longer spend my money at places where I am not welcome, or where anybody is being treated as “less than”… I took a picture of the scene and the man immediately jumped and said an intimidating “good morning” staring at me. Should you remember that money comes in all shades and purses in the Bay Area, try to overcome your color blindness (blind only to col
