Pacific Seafood Trading Co - Oakland

It might sound a bit funny to have "seafood" in the name of this place, but they do offer seafood—though it's only dried varieties that are meant to be rehydrated for soups. You'll also discover a great selection of teas and herbs perfect for Chinese herbal soups and various teas. They have both pre-packaged products and bulk options available. The friendly staff warmly greets me when I walk in, which is a lovely touch in Chinatown! Just a quick note: they sell Rickshaw loose tea, which I enjoy using to make Hong Kong milk tea at home.

Are you looking for dried abalone, dried scallops, shark fin, dried seahorse, or other distinctive Asian seafood ingredients? This store has an extensive selection! Along with these unique items, they also provide dried mushrooms, lily roots, ginkgo nuts, and popular staples such as dried water chestnut powder and five-spice seasoning.

I believe this restaurant is currently known as A&B Seafood.
