Oceanside Seafood

Just moved to the Pinckney area and was missing my local sea food/​fish place. I don’t like buying fish and sea food from Busches or Krogers so I went looking for something else. The reviewer below me (Clayton) convinced me that this was what I was looking for. The truck looked clean no funky fish smells and guy was very friendly. There were a couple repeat customers waiting for their stuff and they all had positive reviews. I bought 2#‘s shrimp, 3#‘s snow crab legs, 2#‘s Mahi, 2#‘s smelt and a bag of fry mix. Cost me 80.00.
Had the smelt and shrimp for dinner and it was awesome! Much more fresh tasting then what I have been buying lately. The bags are flash frozen to preserve freshness.

Have you ever think that seafood in Midland grocery store stinks? Salmon in Kroger smells like rotten fish? Scallop in Walmart is tasteless? Not satisfy with seafood from Jack’s or LaLonde? You need to try the fish truck that comes to Midland once a month from Oceanside Seafood. They park at the dunkin donut parking lot on S. Saginaw once a month. Check their calendar at their website:
They sell flash frozen sashimi grade salmon, tuna, scallop, and other fish. I have tried many of their sashimi grade fish. when you thaw them out and open the vacuum package salmon, tuna, and scallop smell fragrant. I have made sushi with these sashimi grade seafood many times and had no issue with it. The salmon and tuna are also great in the oven. Simply put some kosher salt and pepper on the fish, bake in and you are good to go. No need to add extra spice to get rid of smell, as there is no rotten smell to the fish. The tuna also taste great with a light sear.
I have also tried their sable fish, it is great with kosher salt and ginger in oven.
Just tried their snow crab legs today. $ 9/​lb is a great price in midland. We got a three pound bag and that was a lot for two people. Huge piece of meat from the legs and even the body. Much better than those in kroger.
One thing though, I do not recommend the seafood combo (squid, shrimp mix) it is not fresh and it tastes terrible. just buy seafood combo at local grocery store.

This is the famed Fish Truck that can be found at various locations in the Detroit area. You have to check out their website for the schedule of where the truck will be.
I go to the Redford location on certain Saturdays each month. They park the truck behind the YWCA on Grand River and Beech Daly.
But this is the thing. The Fish Truck is AMAZING. They have the best fish I’ve ever had at extremely reasonable prices.
I eat a lot of raw fish and have never had a bad piece of fish from the Fish Truck. It’s all frozen, so if you’re one of those snobs who thinks never frozen fish is better, more power to you. Go spend 25 bucks a pound at some yuppie store and I’ll grub on the 10 buck a pound Tuna/​Salmon variety pack that melts in your mouth (literally if you eat it still frozen). The quality is unmatched and everyone I’ve ever referred to the Fish Truck has been impressed.
All the Japanes people I know get their fish there (hint: they know a thing or two about seafood — you think?) and I’ve never met anyone who said — «man their fish sucked»
Because it doesn’t suck. It rules and the Fish Truck is a rolling monarchy of seafood satisfaction. The friendly guys who work there will tell you which of their fish is sashami grade (you can eat it raw) and which you’ll need to cook. Most of the stuff I’ve had can be eaten raw. But some of the fish/​seafood does need to be cooked, so make sure you check if you aren’t sure.
They sell a pretty wide variety of seafood, including prepared soups and chowders. They usually run a special, so ask about that also.
And it’s all so easy. They park the Fish Truck in a lot and you drive up, buy your happiness and drive away. They don’t take Amex, but they do accept Mastercard and Visa (at least Mastercard for sure).
If you like fish, you’ll like the Fish Truck from Oceanside Seafood. Trust Clay. C. — I eat a lot of damn fish and they’ve never let me down.
