The Lobster Pot

Hands down the best place for seafood in Metro Detroit. Katie is awesome and is always willing to talk about the products with you. Fresh options change all the time, which gives you a great chance to try fish you haven't seen before. I can't recommend this place enough. I'm in there pretty much every week, and I always get great service.

This is the best place you can get seafood anywhere around. It’s always fresh, they don’t beat around the bush. Best tuna, lobsters, oysters. Everything you want. It’s worth the drive!

Enjoyed the crab carbonara but there was barely any crab meat. My ginger ale was a small glass bottle costing 4$. I was really expecting more for my money and first time visit.

If you want the freshest seafood around than you need to check out the lobster pot. I travel past multiple other fish markets just to go there. As you walk in you'll more than likely be greeted by Katie behind the counter. Her customer service and knowledge on all things seafood is top notch. It's so hard to narrow down what I like the best from there, weather you choose fresh oysters, scallops, or tuna, you can't go wrong. They also have frozen items that are great to keep on hand. It's so easy to pull a lobster tail, frog legs, or even the colossal king crab legs out of the freezer at a moments notice and have a great dinner in no time. Lastly I have to mention the ready to eat cocktail shrimp and sauce that is made fresh on-site. Sooooo good! So what are you waiting for, ditch the supermarket fish section and give the lobster pot a try, you'll be happy you did.

I love the Lobster Pot so much and I love the owners even more. Katie is the best. It's like this hidden gem. I want to spread the word because I love small businesses but it's like our own private impeccable fishing hole! So knowledgeable; fair pricing and freshest of fish!

The only thing better than the owners and employees is the product! Always fresh Seafood and Shellfish. The building has character. The neighborhood while it has seen better days, is captivating and charming. The entire staff understands the bigger calling of keeping the area inhabited their loyalty to the location is part of their DNA. I always enjoy a quick visit to shop there and I have total confidence in the product quality and freshness.

So glad I found this place! I’ve found the seafood to be a better quality and freshness with a lower price than the local markets. The Scottish salmon is so buttery. Their house made crab cakes are packed with real crab. Scallops are dry packed so don’t have to worry about sand. And the best part is Katie! She goes above and beyond. Whether it’s recipe tips, knowledge on a fish you have yet to try or bringing your order out to your car it’s amazing customer service.

All I can share at the moment is how easy and comprehensible it was to order lobster tails from the Lobster Pot online. When I went to pick up my order, I could see that it would have been just as easy in person. I was surprised that I didn't need to pay for my order until I picked it up, but I realize now that the weight may be +/- an ounce or so, which explains that. Their pricing was better than any other quotes I received (again, I can only speak on behalf of the tails). The people were so friendly, helpful and even flexible considering it was only a week before Christmas. Will get back to my review after Christmas Eve dinner 😋

The products from this place are fantastic. It seems to be a family-run operation, and they're super professional at the counter--no pressure, just helpful service. You do your thing, get what you need. I picked up six pounds of lobster claws and knuckles for $250--still a solid deal for high-quality meat. Yes, it comes frozen, but that's how it goes. Let it thaw slowly, then toss it into some rolls. Whether you're going butter or mayo, grab some Pepperidge Farm side-cut brioche buns from Kroger, toast them up, and go to town. Add a simple topping if you want--whatever you do, it's money. Thanks for being here! The building is fine, with street parking available. The area is a little sketchy--it's Detroit. But don't let that stop you. This place is worth the stop.

Only the best here at the Lobster Pot Detroit! From fresh to frozen to service it's always spot on. For larger/special orders it's a good idea to call a few days ahead like we did with our Lobster sizes. It's well worth the drive from the burbs, we will be back!

Recently purchased a catch of the day, halibut. It was delicious! Service was great and very friendly.

Fresh seafood at its best , I have purchased lobsters and shrimp, and cod fish, it was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful, prices were high but where are you going to get cheap fresh seafood in the middle of the united states.

Simply the BEST, FRESHEST seafood in metro Detroit! Literally everything here is delicious! And their prices are extremely reasonable. They will always tell you the truth & never try to upsell you. A sure fire indication of their incredible quality is the fact that they wholesale to many of your favorite pricey seafood restaurants around town. We are always especially impressed by their scallops. Always fresh, large & amazing- especially the fry scallops. Nice people too.

Wow!! This is the 4th year in a row we've used The Lobster Pot and the seafood was outstanding!! Our 50 live lobsters were gorgeous as was our muscles, clams and shrimp. Thank you for the best service ever, freshest seafood and outstanding delivery. Scott you and your team and incredible and made our annual dinner a huge success. Thank you!

Best place to buy fish and seafood. Local service for retail and service to many restaurants and businesses. Ok to ask for anything not in the store, it might be in the back or available for order. Phenomenal quality, price, and service. I'm

The Lobster Pot is the BEST seafood market in Detroit and the metro area!! The seafood is so fresh, tasty and a huge selection. They have live Maine lobster and they will even cook it for you upon request! We just had some of the best lobster I've ever eaten. The owners are just fabulous. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly!! If my seafood does not come from the Lobster Pot I won't eat it!!

We highly recommend Lobster Pot. Their shrimp is fantastic. The customer service is excellent.

The very best seafood in an old school location with great service and value! Love this place!

This place is AMAZING! The best shrimp, white fish pate is to die for! Fresh as fresh gets! Highly recommend! Tried some new things this year... will report back after next week!

LOVE the lobster pot. The service is impeccable. Everything I have ever ordered has been outstanding. My kids will not eat shrimp from anywhere else...sooo good! My dad even drives in from Ann Arbor to get his seafood from here.

Bought 22 live lobsters from here for a cookout. They came just as big as advertised for a great price. My family is from Long Island and are lobster enthusiasts, and they were all impressed at the quality of these lobsters. The employees gave me clear instructions on how to cook them and were genuinely interested in the success of my party. Fantastic find on the east side of Detroit.
