Giovanni's Fish Market - Customer Testimonials

Read what our customer's are saying!

We were accustomed to buying fish at Giovanni's when we lived in Cambria, but when we moved down south, to Pismo Beach, we went more locally...which didn't work out too well.
We did drive up to Morro Bay to buy fish from G's on occasion and then, because of the virus, we stopped "live" shopping, anywhere, and I tried Giovanni's online with delivery.
The first shipment brought back memories of shopping at their store because their fish is The Freshest in the area. Or, any area. We moved up here from San Pedro, which had wonderful fresh fish, being on the water. Giovanni's is The Best and the overnight shipping (which costs, yes, but so does driving up there!) is amazing because the fish comes to the door as fresh as if we bought it in the store.It is packed on a lot of ice packets; yes your paying for it, but it is reuseable and it does protect the fish investment!
Our favorites are California salmon (the alternative when CA salmon is out of season is always good too...just not quite the same fish), halibut cheeks and ahi (when available) and sometimes swordfish.
We freeze some of the fish and when we eat that 2-3 weeks later, that too is delicious and "fresh."
I'm not being paid for this review, I went prattling on because I love Giovanni's fish so much!

I placed a first time order last week for 11 pre-cooked Dungeness crabs. They arrived last Friday, and I have to tell you, this was a fabulous experience for me all around. The packaging was top notch, the crabs were cleaned & cracked, individually wrapped, and were absolutely full of meat! We had seven of us eating them, and everyone was talking about how good they were! I will definitely be placing another order for them in the future! Thank you for such an exceptional experience, hard to find that today!!

This is a belated message from my order about two weeks ago. I placed an order (invoice #2982187) in late August for my father's 75th birthday. Due to COVID, I couldn't be there for it and I wanted to do something special. My father and I used to go salmon fishing together in the 90's and we have great memories of mostly not-catching fish and hanging out together. I ordered him a King salmon fillet and everything went smoothly, the fish arrived right on time and he loved the fish, appreciated the gesture and called me three times to tell me how wonderful the fish was, how well packed it was and that it was the freshest fish that he'd had in years. I wanted to say thank you for making my father's birthday special with your prompt delivery of a super fresh delicious fish that were packed really well.

I just wanted to let you know of the excellent service I received when I ordered from your company. I placed two separate orders and ask you to combine in the Special Instructions and you did that and saved me almost 60 dollars and I truly appreciate that. My order came a day late and I was fine with that because you left me a message advising me of this due to inclement weather. The packaging of the items was perfect. It took me a few minutes to get into but that was just fine. The products looked packaged perfectly and cannot wait to cook using some of the recipes on your website as I have never eaten some of the products I ordered. Tonight we are having the Clam Chowder with a Grilled Cheese as it is going to be in the teens tonight in Northwest Georgia. Keep up the Great Work and keep appreciating your employees as I can see they really care about you guys and your customers. I will talk to (yall) (as we say here) again.

Just wanna thank y'all for being a constant and reliable source of my favorite fish (Sand Dabs). While many people east of the Mississippi "strive" to represent a west coast lifestyle, they fail to learn about delicacies like sand dabs. In the 80's I use to camp out on Jalama Beach with friends. We would eat all of the sand dabs that we could see. Thanks for keeping a memory alive for an old dude from Compton, CA. living in Chesapeake,VA. after a few various stops along the way.
