Hill’s Quality Seafood

I still have some confusion about this place. A seafood place in this area that doesn’t sell live blue crabs? That’s like a cheeseteak place with no grill.
Gives me pause too. Just how long ago where those crabs cooked? I was told they cook them as soon as they get them. I can’t be the only one that prefers to cook my own crabs, so why not leave some alive for us folk to kill them ourselves?
Other people are correct in that this place is very clean. Prices seem a bit higher than many places, but then again, the fish looks better. Fish is presented very well.
Customer service was terrible. I almost walked out for not being acknowledged, but I was really having a hankering for some blue crabs. It wasn’t that they were busy with other customers, I could understand that. It was that two employers had some lovey-​dovey thing going on and the girl was feeding her (I guess) boyfriend. Giggling included. Get a room! A few seconds later I got a half head nod instead of the normal, «what can I get for you?». or even «waddya want?» from some other guy who was either annoyed that his coworkers weren’t working, or mad he didn’t have a girl to feed him and giggle with him. Felt sorry for the poor lad.
That brings me to another point somebody else mentioned. They had enough people working but they all seemed like they were teenagers still in high school. What high school, or even college kid knows enough about seafood if somebody had a question about cooking a cetain kind of fish? It just seemed strange.
I guess if really wanted some high quality fish I would go here, but usually when I want seafood I want the basic stuff. Blue crab, salmon. Salmon you can buy anywhere.

I went to Hill’s tonight for a piece of salmon and left with that and 6 AMAZING & DELICIOUS shucked oysters. Scott was so kind, helpful and packaged it up like a gift! What a treat for me! I am so grateful to have this store in my neighborhood!!!

In my opinion, Hill’s Seafood IS the indisputable place for seafood. Many would agree. I’ve purchased a variety of seafood and never experienced disappointment. Accessories, pastas, and salads complement the experience. The college aged employees are always helpful.
The Feast of the Seven Fishes («Fish» for the grammarians) remains a popular observance. The Feast is observed on Christmas Eve — December 24. The popularity of Hill’s prompted me to call and ascertain IF ANY seafood remained. I was quickly reassured that plenty of seafood was available but no such assurances apply on December 24
I arrived about 45 minutes before closing and was immediately greeted by an eager employee. I purchased seafood strudel, clams casino, salmon, flounder stuffed with crab meat and a small tub of cucumber salad.
I served the seafood, salad, my world famous clam stew, and my bruschetta (pronounced brew-​sket-​ta). No, it’s not seven but, who’s counting? Add family and friends to complete the Feast!

Best Place for Seafood in PA!!! Great selection and excellent service. Always a great experience!

Nice little spot for some seafood. Service is good.
Just really don’t think the seafood there are as fresh as they are claiming it to be.
Crabs really had no meat in the shells, scallops seemed not very fresh when I purchased them. Although this might just be a once in awhile thing. Will give it another go when craving.

Definitely not my favorite place to grab fresh fish, but one of the better locations outside of the city. Service here is great! I picked up two pieces of fresh tuna steaks that had great coloring and tasted fresh as can be, which was definitely reflected in their pricing. I’ll be back if running into the city isn’t an option.
Notable observation: While I didn’t get any of the salmon, it was possibly the pinkest, most beautiful pieces of salmon I’ve ever seen.

You can never get fresh picked crab at Hill’s. I was told because the shelf life is short. Fresh crab will last 2 to 3 days, which leads me to ask how old is the other fish at Hill’s? Nothing in the store should be older than 2 or 3 days. I’ve purchased what I thought were fresh scallops, only to cook them and realize they had been frozen, and had mixed results with other fish.’ Don’t mind paying the price, but I expect the quality to match what I’m paying.

This has got to be one of the best seafood stores that isn’t on a seaside pier. The selections are fresh and in addition, they have an entire section of rubs, sauces and dressings, along with dry side dishes to accompany seafood.
I had been looking for some time for salted codfish (Bacalao, Baccala) to make a Spanish escabeche dish. They had it in boxes. Awesome. Their fresh specialties also included Mako shark and large pieces of swordfish, along with several varieties of salmon, grouper, and snappers. The place is also immaculate and it generates trust as to its management’s emphasis on healthy seafood. Friendly staff.

Their seafood is wonderfully fresh. Quality is great. Staff always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Alaska king salmon is superb. Blue fish is delicious and very inexpensive. If you love fish and other fruits of the sea you’ll love this place. There’s something good here whether you have a lot to spend or are on a tight budget.

Clean and lean but never mean is Hill’s under the sea selection. Always kept pristine in crushed ice, you’ll find mollusks aplenty, crustaceans apace and other glorious gilled goodies just waiting for your hot pan.
No joke, it’s cleaner and brighter in here than an operating room. Piles of clams in all sizes, Maryland blues steamed and spiced to redness, and fillets both farmed and wild are on offing, for prices neither a great bargain nor a great insult.
The staff is helpful and knowledgeable; they will gladly give advice when asked, and process credit cards for any amount. Highly recommended when sourcing ingredients in the suburbs.

This a great place to get seafood and fish to cook at home. More expensive than the grocery (of course) but the fish is always fresh. Most of the time you can get a whole meal here because they will have one or two green vegetables, baggettes and pre-​made soups, salads. They also have a large selection of marinades and rubs. In the summer, the best blue point crabs can be found here, in 3 different sizes and spiced perfectly.
