Anybody ever buy salmon or seafood online? Started looking around for some places to buy in bulk but prices are crazy high compared to Kroger and sams.

    Just bought some lobster tails from Maine Lobster Now.  Got some 24-28 oz Giant lobster tails, and the lobster Mac & cheese for 4. Delivers in 1 day to your porch in a styrofoam box!

    This place is great. They vacuum sealed and flash froze some salmon and halibut that we caught. Shipped it on the date we wanted. A year later it was as good as the day we caught it. The key is to cook it as soon as it thaws. Don’t pull it from the freezer to the refrigerator days early like you would with beef. Just pull it from the freezer a couple of hours before you want to cook it and put it on the counter.

    We have purchased Salmon from this place at Pike's Market in Seattle - No they don't throw fish around!  We have also purchased from them online. It shipped to us on the east coast and arrived safely.

    Price isn't the best way to judge online shopping.  We can get seafood a lot cheaper locally, but the quality is kind of dodgy and the source is suspect.  I would much rather spend the money on a good piece of beef from an online source then a less than choice cut locally.  As for seafood, freshness is foremost in my mind followed quickly by source.

    Do you folks live 1,000 miles or more from the nearest Costco?  The online vendors are priced so exorbitantly, I have no idea how they sell anything to anyone.

    Every year, we get the reports of Copper River sockeye going on sale at Pike Place for $25-$30/lb. and next day, we can go to Costco and get filets for $10-$12, depending on the year.

    I thought about ordering some from Jonathan Hillstrand. Reasonable priced. www.jaws.fish

    Another vote for Costco. We buy Salmon there about twice/month and have always been very happy with the quality and freshness. They sell an enormous amount of the fish and it is always very fresh. They usually have several varieties - some wild, some farmed, some with or without antibiotics, some with and some without skin.  They also carry other fish depending on what is in season - Halibut, Cod, Tilapia (yucch), Tuna, etc.

    The sockeye from Hillstrand is still $22/lb. delivered, for what Costco sells for $12/ lb. this year, and some years, as little as $10/ lb.  This does not meet my definition of reasonable...
