Merivale Fish market is always good for Moules and fries.
Tuckers marketplace had 2 kinds of mussels in their buffet last week and they were replacing the dish every 10-15 minutes, so was super fresh.
Also had Thai Basa fish and saw them replace the dish at least 5 times while there-they would put maybe 2 or 3 smaller fillet and as soon as some was taken thye would add another dish.

Pelican has somewhat bad service sometimes and also a few shady practices (I was a long-time customer and see how they have changed many things).
-the take-out counter, well it is supposed to be take-out but if they are to busy, they will just take your order and then not bother making it (happened to me a bunch of times).
They changed the quality of their shrimp and no longer carry any shrimp that are phosphate or preservative free.
I looked through their freezer and everything has preservatives.
They do not know the ingredients of their "salmon sausage", someone local makes it for them and they do not have that info, they will "try and get the info for you" but you won't hear back or they will forget.
Downtown, Vineyards is good for moules/mussels
