It was a special occasion. I spoke to Chef Paul and ordered lobster thermidor, seafood bouillabaisse and the seafood paella. Everything was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The lobster thermidor was to die for, what a treat. The seafood bouillabaisse had big chunks of salmon, several shrimp and scallops and a piece of lobster, it was wonderful. Chef Paul delivered the food himself and took the time to explain how to reheat the food. It was an excellent experience and one that I hope to repeat in the near future.

Quite expensive, quality generally good. I will try to give them the benefit of the doubt that they made a mistake on my most recent visit when I was charged for organic when I ordered and was served a regular item. Realized when I got home. Didn’t make me want to go back. Kind of a shame. Anyways it’s the only place in the area to get such a variety of fish so it has got that going for it. Just be prepared for some sticker shock

As the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Well my wife and I were craving for some fish and we happened to be walking along Sherbrooke Street in Westmount. We could not find a river or lake anywhere on the street and we also didn’t have any fishing equipment with us, so we decided to visit Poissonnerie Sherbrooke instead. The amazing variety of fresh fish and seafood on display was mind boggling. We finally chose the Striped Bass fillet which we brought home and enjoyed tremendously. So even though we did not learn how to fish, we did learn that Poissonnerie Sherbrooke is a great place to go shopping for fish.

This place was my favorite fish monger. It's super cool to see they brought Chef Paul back but I have some issues with my two recent visits. 1. I tried using a service they advertise to do deliveries. There was no option to select skinless/boneless when using this service so I called Poissonerie Sherbrooke who told me and I quote "all of our fish are skinless/boneless". This service didn't end up working out so I went to the store to spend $300+ on fish and sure enough, all of them had skin and bones. 2. Most recently, I purchased lobster meat in a container so that I could make lobster rolls with friends. A significant portion of the container had to be tossed aside because they still contained shells. If I'm spending $200+ on lobster meat, how is this is even possible? The meat itself wasn't that great either, disappointing. Anyhow, I don't know what is happening here but the service I've received ain't great either. For premium pricing, I think I'm going to consider alternatives going forward unfortunately.

I had the privilege of tasting a lobster roll and it was truly divine. Each bite makes you crave for another. The place is clean the fish so fresh as Mark Cere the owner takes pride in serving the very best quality fish and seafood to each and everyone of his valued customers. Mark is so nice and is passionate about his seafood .I highly recommend this place for those who want a ready made seafood meal or for those looking to cook a succulent fish dish!

Bad lobster roll at a steep price Poissonerie Sherbrooke has been my go-to place for a lobster roll the past few years. Being there already, I would occasionally buy other fish products. My impression was that it’s a pricey shop, compensated partly by the quality. But to me it was really about their lobster roll, which was quite satisfying. Unfortunately, not the case the case anymore. When I bought a roll last week, it was quite a let down. Not only the fill was lacking in quantity, the taste was bland, probably because the lobster meat has been hanging around for a while. The sandwich was not grilled, not buttered. All in all, a big fat no. For the price of $25+tax, one expects to have a nice bite. Not this. Moreover, to my surprise I discovered that Lucille’s stand at Atwater market sells them for $16+tax. So, I’ve got a bad one and at an inflated price too. I returned there recently, to give them a chance to remedy this disappointment. The person at the cash was rude and not perceptive. Some places that used to be good sometimes get complacent over the years, and its workers can become arrogant. Seems to be the case here. Pity.

This is by far the best fishmonger in the city. There is always a great selection with the freshest fish. The customer service is excellent.

Sadly I wanted to love this place. This is my 3rd visit and I won t be going back. Unwelcoming service, overpriced and seafood is a hit or miss. Squid was great the first time and then terrible the next. This time clams were poor quality. Too bad I have to find another spot in the neighborhood.

The pea soup was the best I have ever had. They took a classic Quebec staple known for its nutrition and comfort and made it a little lighter and even more delicious. The spicy lentil soup was also the best I have ever had for similar reasons. When I spent three weeks in Nepal years ago, we had lentil soup every day so I thought I had seen every possible way it could be done but I was wrong! This was the perfect combination of comfort, nutrition, spice and density. Fascinating how they can master a Quebec classic and one from the Himalayas at the same time.

I discovered La Poissonnerie Sherbrooke - Delicatessen two weeks ago. Great discovery! Their fresh fish and seafood all looks really, really fresh. Then, they have a food counter prepared by a starred chef. Their fish soup and squid and seaweed salad are real delights. Its worth the detour. It seems that their paella is extraordinary. I can not wait to return to. Congratulations to Chef Paul for his excellent cuisine and to Marc Céré, the owner, for his commitment to offering seafood of the highest quality. See you soon!

I spent over $30 on a piece of organic salmon, after being told they just got it in that morning. I asked to have it cut in 4 pieces. When i got home, and removed the brown paper I saw it had been mangled. It looked like the person had never cut fish in their life and cut it using a dull butter knife! The first piece was not cut straight and had a jagged edge. Then the middle part was cut lengthwise along the middle instead of horizontally... to add insult to injury or didnt taste fresh at all! Dont waste your money.

Bought two bags of mussels in the afternoon to cook the next day evening, they said that itll keep well in the fridge inside an open bowl for two days. They were spoiled by lunch time next day.

After trying a few different places, I found this to be the best fishmonger in Montreal by far. I went there looking for quality fish for ceviche and ended up with delicious, amazingly fresh fish that my guests were raving about for days. I went back for raw-grade fish a few times after that and had the same amazing results. Very consistent quality! If a fish is not fresh enough to be eaten raw, they won t even bring it into the store, let alone sell it to you. This gives me a lot of confidence in an area that I previously found tricky (raw fish). I was blown away by the freshness, but also by the professionalism and level of knowledge of the staff. I m particularly thankful to Sergei for all the tips on preparing and storing the fish, and even some recipe tips that were very useful and much appreciated. He s a really good resource and an asset to the store and its customers. Thanks!
