I had biked by Andrade’s many times and last weekend made my first visit. The three young men working were all very friendly and helpful. I had been buying my salmon at one of the big discount stores and after buying it at Andrade’s I won’t be going back to the box store. The salmon was noticeably much better and my guests all positively commented on wonderful the fish was. I am a fan!

I’ve walked by here so many times that I thought it was finally time to stop in. I’ve seen fisherman outside so many times with their boats still attached to their truck that I figured everything was very fresh. It’s much smaller inside than I thought. The selection of fish was also small, but they they did have a bit of all of the common items. It’s possible that there was a lot more in the back that they didn’t have in the case. I didn’t ask. We only bought littlenecks. One thing I didn’t like was that when I got home there were four littlenecks with broken shells that I had to discard. On the positive side, the service was great and they are open seven days a week, which isn’t the norm with fish markets. I would go back.

Great quality, very fresh seafood, reasonable prices, and extremely friendly service. Highly recommended! I will always support our local fishermen and keep on buying from small town places like this!

This place is promoting its business by vandalizing the East Bay with green stickers that have their business name on it. That’s an illegal and obnoxious way to advertise. They are bad citizens, and you shouldn’t reward them by giving them your business. I wouldn’t be surprised if the other two 5-star ratings were posted by shills.

Andrade’s Catch has the best selection of shellfish you can find between PVD and Newport. Dave and his family offer every local clam, lobster, conch and other RI(and Maine) variety. I bought four 1.5 pound lobsters Sunday(ordered earlier in week) for dual birthdays; we steamed them for 15 minutes and everyone raved about their freshness! Last month it was quahogs for chowder — excellent too! I recommend Laura Blackstone’s «The Fisherman’s Table» shellfish cookbook, available at Andrade’s Catch. Bob in Portsmouth

Andrade’s is that rare combination of high quality and great value. The shellfish is super fresh and reasonably priced. Andrade’s staff is also very accommodating — you can order ahead and buy in bulk if you need to. it’s great that they’re open 7 days a week — but they close at 1 on Sunday, so don’t wait too long to get your lobsters and clams!
