The Fruit Stand Seafood - Manchester

Was my go to store for seafood and produce not anymore. Bought some shrimp on Friday and opened and cooked some Saturday. My son said it tasted funny I smelled it and the cooked and 2 out of 3 bags smelled like ammonia. Took them back and the lady was very nice and understanding especially after she smelled them. My issue is with the owner/wife . She stood there heard everything but would not make eye contact or offer any kind of apology. But when the young lady went to the freezer to replace what I brought in she said something to her. I heard the lady say just one and 4 more. She was more concerned with the lady giving me something extra than me having to drive back from St. Peter’s to return rancid shrimp I bought the day before. And I lost because what I cooked and threw away didn’t get replaced. You would have thought there would be more compassion especially after those bad oysters that made the news a few months ago. But it wasn’t worth anymore of my time. You learn more about a business when you have an issue over buying on a regular. SMH this isn’t the 1st incident i had with the customer service the other was with the old lady always that’s always there. No point in going into details you get it. Hope this post helps anyone on the fence about going. Unfortunate because I actually like the owner posts on Facebook and believe in supporting local businesses but you have to appreciate ALL CUSTOMERS…

Great selection but poor customer service. We were not greeted or asked if we needed assistance. Were barely acknowledged during check out. Most likely will wait and get my favorite southern delicacies when I visit family on the gulf coast instead of returning.

Just got my seafood boil kit from there for my 4th of july get together everyone loved it! my first time having the royal red shrimp they were amazing! plus the crab sales are the best around! staff is always so friendly helpful as well :

Love this store!!! Very family oriented. The staff is super helpful and friendly. The selection of seafood and unique fruits and veggies are off the chain! Follow them on Facebook, they’ll put a smile on your face everyday

This is a great locally owned small business that strives to provide quality products and excellent customer service!!!!! The staff is always friendly and very helpful!!! Will even make suggestions for food pairings if u ask them
