Baron's Quality Meats Seafood - Alameda

I picked up 2 Porchetta sausages today..yes. I did a double-take. Oh my goodness. The best tasty sausages I have ever tried..and I love all sausages...well maybe not Kielbasa. If you like Porchetta and/or sausages. Grill them..but don't over cook.

Beef Brisket I purchased was of great quality and I received great personalized service at the counter. Prices was very high at $12.99 per Lb for Brisket but it was great tasting and tender.

Although Barons on Park in Alameda has excellent sausages I fell in love with their Herbs de Provence sausages. Fabulous!! I wish they had them all the time. Best. Sausage. Ever!

Worst customer service I 've experienced in years, anywhere. I was shopping to make a seafood stew, looking for 2 lbs of cod fillets. I had to wait, while there was no one else around. Fine, no big deal. I was having a relaxing morning, so I don 't mind. The cod looked kind of thrashed, and there was only a bit of it. Finally, he asked what I wanted. I asked if there was more cod in the back, and that I needed two pounds. He said, Yeah, we got more. and proceeded to pick up the sad-looking fillets, plop them on the scale, said, That it? I looked at the scale, which read 1.75 lbs. Uh, no, could i get more, from the back? He stomped off like he was doing me a favor, got back, plopped a huge piece on the scale, said, That it? I looked at the scale. It was 2.55 lbs. Um, could I get 2 lbs? So could you take some off the fish from the bottom, and leave the thicker pieces? It looks fresher. He looked at me, rolled his eyes and said It all comes from the same place, in the same shipment! I was taken aback, so I just kind of stood there, wondering what to say. Finally, he said, You want to make it 2 pounds? Yeah, that 's great. He took off the top piece, it came out to 1.93. I said That 's fine. He slapped the fish down at the counter. What a terrible feeling he left. It really sucks, because I didn 't do anything wrong. I will never shop there again, even though it 's convenient.

Not a good look to have fungus growing from your meat! It creeps me out every time I pass by it and makes me wonder how everything else is handled. I will remove this review when they remove the fungus)
