“ The second that I enter the shop, someone always greats me in a friendly manner (so wonderful). The fish is always fresh, advice and recommendations are on point, and there is an excellent variety. The desserts and the fresh bread are out of this world! Finally, the fresh local produce is a great new addition (in season). ”
“ Ordered the seafood platter DIY kit. Excellent quality, fresh everything. Accurately listed as an appetizer for 4 adults. Plenty of delicious accompanying sauces and we had great fun learning to shuck our own oysters. My absolute favorite was the scallop ceviche, the shrimp were delicious and the crab incredibly sweet. Fabulous service by knowledgeable staff. We'll be back!!! ”

“ It was our first time at Whalesbone. We ordered Baked and Stuffed Lobster Dinner, and Royal Seafood Dip with Cheese. We called in for a pickup, and they were very friendly in answering! When we arrived for a pickup, they also gave us a free book that consists of story of many chefs and their plates recipes. Thank you! And the food. Yum yum YUMMMMMM!! Everything was amazingly delicious The lobster, the seafood dip, the potato salad, the kale salad, the bun! I truly really enjoyed the dinner!! I also loved that we got to cook(bake) them ourselves for the final touch, so that we get to enjoy the freshly baked and warm food! I would say this experience was better than a typical takeout and was very Very delicious! ”

“ I've gone to the Kent street location for lunch sandwiches many times and never been unsatisfied. I got the smoked fish and fries. Fries were nice and crispy and fresh ( no burnt oil taste) the the sandwich was delicious with a tiny bit of spiciness. Not a lot of sittings area at this location. I've always gotten it to go. ”
“ I love love love smoked&candied salmon so it’s great to have a local location to pick up this treat. Also love getting Arctic char and other smoked fish options. I admire the dedication of this business to support sustainable seafood. The takeout sandwiches from Kent St were well-loved in my house, so sad to see they are not available right now, but I look forward to when I can get a smoked fish sandwich again and will support the other locations in the meantime :) ”
