Everything is really fresh, but the downside is you have to take it home to defrost (takes about an hour) and cut it yourself besides the uni. Highly recommended if you have that kind of patience! Oh and they have lots of 10% off offers, try looking onlineBand n Klip lol

Bump, so yesterday I had a chance to visit this Black Ocean wholesale place. Got myself a slab of Atlantic salmon for $12 and Tako for $6, he gave me a 10% off too.
The salmon is NOT GOOD. I don't know if it's just me, or I am not doing it correctly. I made sure the fish was defrosted fully in the fridge, took about 24 hours. It doesn't have the oily shinyness that you will see from a restaurant. The fish was pale, didn't have much texture either. I just sliced it into pieces and didn't cut the ends or shave the surface off. Don't know how.
The Tako however was worth the price. It tasted exactly the same from a sushi joint.
Would I go back? Probably not for salmon, I am going to try other products though. The owner was nice.
