I have heard many excellent things about ABC Seafood (SE 65th and SE Powell) so I had to check it out for myself. They are mostly wholesale but they have a retail front so you can buy what the restaurants buy. This place is like a damn aquarium. Let's check it out:
Here is a shot of some squid, yellow fish, and snails (I think). They also had a tank full of live clams and mussels but I neglected to take a picture.
Here are some fresh fish. There are catfish to the left and striped bass to the right. I don't remember what the ones in the middle are. They will totally clean and fillet any fish for you if desired.
Here are some live ling cod that were piled on top of each other in a tank. They are fucking huge and I have no idea what people do with them.
Here is the crappiest of like six crab tanks (the other pictures didn't turn out). These are all loser amputee crabs and since we all know the money is in the claw, you would be a retard if you purchased these. The huge live crabs were only $4.59 a pound which is unheard of around here. That is just super fucking cheap for live dungeness.
Here is the lobster tank. These guys were stupid big and $9.50 a pound. I am not sure but I think that is abalone in there with them.
Here are the two fine specimens I brought home. They were insanely frisky which is a tell tale sign they are going to be very tasty little buggers. Cook them like I did in
this post.
They really don't want to get in the boiling water so make sure you have a wooden mallet nearby to beat them into submission.
Here is me being cruel. All in all this place was fucking awesome and you should totally check it out. Patronize it.

LOVE that last picture! Legit LOL.
This place sounds pretty awesome, although how does it stack up to Uwajimaya's seafood section? I don't know if you've been there but it's super cheap and very good as well. Got myself some prawns at 4.99 a pound there and I got dungeness crab, perch, and king salmon on the cheap as well. I live in downtown so 65th and Powell is pretty much as far as Uwajimaya is for me.
I have never been to Uwajimaya's but I think it is bigger than ABC. ABC is in a pretty tight space. Do they have live fish at Uwajimaya's?
Oh, yeah...looks kinda like the 99 Ranch Market in San Diego. It's about 30 miles, but well worth the drive! It's a huge store, and the meat and seafood counters take up about 1/4 of the building. The produce section is loaded with all kinds of lovely, exotic stuff, one enormous aisle is nothing but different kinds of noodles, both fresh and dried, and the sauces section would bring you to tears of joy! There's even a pretty damn good little restaurant inside the place, and Huby and I will have a good lunch after shopping. We're usually the only tall honkies in the joint...LOL!
=^..^=
"Do they have live fish at Uwajimaya's?"
Oh yeah, definitely. Live crabs, lobsters, and other goodies. A lot of whole fish too, which is sad for me because it involves something I'm really lacking in my cooking skills- filleting fish.
I bet if you ask nicely they will fillet the fish for you!
I'm crying inside. You're a mean, mean bastard of an Asshole... *single tear running down cheek*
Enjoy Utah?
haha! you are one random motherfucker, I'll give you that=) Yes... Utah is grand this time of year... lots of sunshine one minute coupled with a little lightning/snow the next. Who the hell can keep it all straight. I've been having weird dreams about OR though... like, living out in the forest! WTF
