Blue Horizon Wholesale Seafood & Retail Market in Houston

This market is a true Houston gem.  Hate writing about it because of fear they'll sell out, but maybe I'm the last one to know about Blue Horizon.  Everything is fresh, the selection is varied, the people are personable, and the prices are comparable to grocery stores.

Tried this place today after all the glorious reviews of how 'fantastically fresh' all the fish is at this store.... After opening my packages to start preparing dinner, I can only deduce 2 possibilities for the fish quality:  1)  today was an anomaly and the fish is not usually this terrible; or 2) the majority of people using Yelp have never had fresh fish. I guess it's my fault for not insisting on smelling the fish at the store before purchasing. Also, I was curious as to why the dude was wrapping my fish in plastic and using 2 lbs of ice on it...I thought he was just being nice!  Turns out that if he hadn't, I probably would have passed out whilst driving home from the ammonia stench emanating from the shrimp and scallops.   The salmon was OK, the shrimp were borderline smelly and mushy (although I choked them down after cooking them well done), and scallops reeked so bad I ended up tossing them away.  Never again....

This is a no frills seafood market that sells some of the freshest seafood in the city. We decided to come for some salmon today for dinner. Prices were reasonable and they had a wide variety of fish in their case. They also had a freezer stocked with fish and frozen pastas. The employee recommended that if we wanted sashimi or sushi grade fish to purchase the fish that was frozen cause it was ready to eat. Will come back here next time to get some fish for sushi. Nice and helpful employees.
