Small World Seafood - Darby Township

BEST SEAFOOD purveyor in all of Philadelphia and beyond. Hands down, without a doubt. I have been buying from Small World Seafood/Robert Amar for a few years now and every single thing I have purchased has been amazing. The fish rotates throughout the year and it is top quality and always either fresh or blast frozen on site. Here is a sampling of the many types of items I've bought from SWS: Faroe Island Salmon (sushi grade), Ahi/Albacore/Big eye Tuna, Swordfish, Mahi Mahi, Striped Bass, Grouper, Rainbow Trout, Flounder/Fluke, Spanish Mackerel, Shrimp, Greenland Turbot, Red Mullet, Red Snapper, Bronzino (both whole and filleted), Redfish, Sea bass, Skate wing, Jonah Crab, Blue crab, soft shell crab, lobster meat, mussels, clams, oysters, local cheese, olive oil from Italy, local mushrooms, local pasta, babka making kits, Smoked whitefish salad, homemade fish cakes, local cheese, Lox, and even dog treats made out of cod fish parts! There are recipes posted on the Small World Seafood website that are easy to follow and beginner friendly for those hesitant to cook with fish. I'm grateful for Robert Amar Small World Seafood and I should have posted this review years ago! Sign up for the email list, place your order on Wednesday and you will not be disappointed. Also, Robert Amar is an incredible human being and you are supporting a fantastic local business! Thank you Robert Amar Small World Seafood!

Love their seafood and weekly service. As good as anything you can buy at any high quality restaurant, if not better!!! Highly recommend their related products too, such as labneh, bacon, sausage, and smoked fish, usually from other local businesses. Speaking of such, a very nice way to support a local Philly business, who supports other locals. Highly recommend!!!

My favorite place to buy the freshest fish in Philly! My husband and I love the salmon!

Small World Seafood has the best quality and service of any fishmonger in town.They are an online operation and each week they send out an email to tell you what's available based primarily on timeliness and freshness.Customers then meet their truck at specific points in the city on specific days. For us, it's in front of the Hopkinson House in Washington Square on Fridays.Their products are always fresh and delicious. If the halibut or tuna isn't good that week, they won't offer it. If it's out of season, they won't sell it.Pricey? Yes. But well worth it.Personally, I would only buy seafood from either Small World or the very fine John Yee in Reading Terminal Market. You can't go wrong with either of these great shops.

By far the worst experience I ever encounter. The owner was beyond unprofessional and racist. He kept screaming and yelling at me. Asking me inappropriate questions and demanding me to buy other items on the menu. I tried to leave however he followed me to my car. He kept shouting that “you’s people can’t afford anything” “that’s why y’all are broke niggers”
