Nelson's Meat + Fish

Nelson’s Meat + Fish Scottsdale is hands down one of the best places to buy fresh seafood in the area. The fish is always incredibly fresh, well displayed, and clearly handled with care, which makes a big difference when cooking at home. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to answer questions or offer suggestions on preparation and cooking. The market is clean, organized, and easy to shop, whether you’re planning a special meal or just picking up something fresh for dinner. It’s a local market you can truly trust for quality and consistency.

Went to check out selection and for quick lunch. Ordered the Shrimp Salad Bun, was amazing! Lots of Shrimp, great dressing, bun was excellent! Old Bays chips were also really good. Fish selection looked top notch, high quality, will definitely be back to try other menu items (daily specials) and to buy some fish. Beef looked good as well. Great customer service, highly recommend this place. Update: Went back for lunch was hoping for clam chowder but they had Watermelon Tomato Gazpacho, which was amazing! Got the Shrimp Salad Bun again, also amazing. But the best part by far was the freshly shucked oysters, some of the best I have ever eaten, plump, briny, lots of liquor. The mignonette was delicious, cocktail sauce and horse radish were also delicious. Ordeed half dozen and had to go back and get another half dozen. Can't believe you can get seafood of this quality in the desert. Also, outstanding customer service! Update: Finally made it on Saturday to try the Proper Lobster Roll, drove 40 minutes from Surprise. Was well with the time spent, ridiculously delicious, ton of meat which was, as expected, very high quality. Bun was toasted perfectly. Put this on your Phoenix Must Eat list. Update: Went back specifically on Wednesday to get more oysters, got 2 dozen and still wanted more. By far the best in Phoenix, not even close.

Finally found the best fish market in Scottsdale! Bonus, they make the greatest lobster rolls (only on Saturdays) in the Phoenix metro. Tossed in a light butter sauce, the lobster was the star of the show, not saucy or with any filler. The bread complimented the lobster perfectly and had enough butter to perfect every bite. Nelson’s is a must stop if you love a lobster roll, or are in need of luxury fish. The scallops were HUGE and looked better than restaurant quality. There was also a large variety of other fresh fishes that looked freshly caught. Additionally they had a cooler with other meats, and some fresh bread. They have specials almost every day of the week, I can’t wait to try a different special.

Picked up 4 dozen oysters for pre Thanksgiving, I don’t know where to start, wow, creamy, little brine , medium sized and perfect. I will buy again. They were from east coast Massachusetts. 5 stars

Terrific place to get fresh seafood. Service is very good.
