Seven Seas Smoke House

I really enjoyed Seven Seas products and I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great and unique seafood experience.

I am very impressed with product quality of Seven Seas Smoke House. Having purchased fish products in the past from other manufacturers I can tell you honestly that this place is a winner. Trout and Captain fish is so tasty its making my mouth water as I write this review. I can’t wait to indulge myself with yummy fish, I love it!

The best smoked fish. Fish quality is amazing and the friendly staff with Russian accent is always for your service, ready to help every time and make you feel special.

Really tasty fish. I prefer only the best quality food that’s why I get their products. The quality is great, taste is awesome. Salmon is «real jam». Always going there, getting some fish and enjoying supper with my family. I love their mackerel, that’s my favorite which reminds me of my childhood and my grandmother’s suppers :)

I’ve bought a couple of products from them through «super king». II remember the salmon belly being really salty and it was best used for cooked dishes or mixed with sauces and spreads. I made pasta with salmon vodka sauce and I was perfect. I just had to gage the ratio of salmon with the cream sauce. And cut it in small pieces, I Brought it to a party and it was such a hit. Something about the extra fats being that it’s the salmon belly works great for sauces, plus you need so little that it goes a long way. My friend also bought it and used it for some baked puff pastry appetizer and used it blended with Cream cheese as a filling, and it was the most memorable appetizer ever. I just splurged and bought their assortment package, and that isn’t that salty at all, and easy to eat with bread or bagels. I am Western European, and it’s true the smoked fishes are usually saltier, both in the east and west, but they don’t pile it on thick when they serve it. even when eaten on a cracker or some toast I remember my dad eating smoked trout that was crazy salty and it was really thinly sliced and served with butter, not cream cheese. The thin slices seemed to make it work. Sparingly and thin slices is the key.

Best lox and smoke trout anywhere! I go directly to their main location and they sell directly if you pay cash. You know it’s fresh coming straight out if the factory.
Can’t wait to go back for some more lox!

Sorry Amy… I gotta go with Yulia on this one.
Their stuff is absolutely fantastic! No artificial crap in any of it. Pure Russian goodness. An absolute TREASURE that needs to be appreciated through support.
Their SMOKED TROUT is INSANE! I’ve also come to buy their salmon belly on a regular basis and wow is that stuff good.
Smoked fish can seem a bit saltier to who those not familiar with Russian smoking style. Norwegian or Scottish style is slightly less salty. Styles are different for each region across Europe where it was done.
As far as rudeness on the phone, come on… they’re old school Russians! They don’t take lip from anybody! As an East coast transplant, I totally love that!
BTW, the misspelling on the Mackerel label? That’s a plus! You know they’re authentic!
Anyhow, I’d give them another chance and try some of their other offerings. I think you’d love the trout… it’s sublime!
Nobody is doing anything quite like them in Southern California and they should be celebrated!

This goes to reply Amy’s review. Basically it is hard to know what you are getting unless you have tried it and know what is good. Had you tried their red trout or captain fish, you’d have nothing but good things to say about them. And as far as customer service… well, that’s just how Russians are. Otherwise I’ve been getting their products for many years and have been very happy with them. (I don’t know anyone their or ever been to their store, have also been buying their products from other places)

I had a yen for some mackerel, so I bought the Seven Seas cold-​smoked mackerel at a nearby Jon’s Market. I invited a friend for brunch, went and got fresh bagels, and was then stunned and embarrassed that the mackerel was so salty we couldn’t eat it. I love both smoked fish and salt, but this was positively inedible. Since I saw on the label that they were a local business, I decided to call. I explained to the woman who answered the phone what had happened, and she firmly told me that I was wrong, that the cold-​smoked mackerel was not salty at all. I said that was not true of the package I had bought, so she told me to try their hot-​smoked mackerel instead. I thought that was a rather unprofessional and tone-​deaf answer, so I replied that I would no longer buy any of their products, which I won’t. Perhaps I should have been more cautious from the start, given that they misspell mackerel on their label!
