I love getting fish from Robert and Andy and everyone else at Small World Seafood. Quality is top notch and pricing is very fair and they remember your name (and even the couple of times I’ve messed up and missed ordering deadlines etc they have been super accommodating..

I started ordering from Small World Seafood about 8 months ago and am now a consistent customer and order every Friday I am in the city. I cannot speak more highly of the quality of the seafood and friendly service for pick up. I have tried many varieties which have all been incredible tasting and fresh! Every time I pick up, I always am met with great customer service, including wonderful recommendations for cooking!

On behalf of my sisters and I, thank you, thank you, thank you for an extraordinary experience at SWS.​ We appreciated your welcoming personality, your insight to the restaurant business and of course, your impressive wealth of knowledge of the seafood industry. How lucky were we to get that one-on-one time with you to tour your store as well as the distribution facilities. You were more than generous with your time and Small World Seafood products. I was especially impressed with how you stepped up to the plate during the Covid crisis and used your business to help and support the community. Your passion for good quality seafood is infectious; your emails are educational and enjoyable and your mission is purposeful. You have a new fan base in us. We will be singing your praises to our colleagues in the culinary field.

See you at the Chestnut Hill and Bryn Mawr farmers markets.
We will be looking for the next email and updates.
With Much gratitude,

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!!!

The best fish you will ever eat at very fair prices. Such a fun way to buy fish - Robert cares about every piece of fish he sells! And gives great ideas for prep. I highly recommend.

Great quality seafood at very reasonable prices. $15/10 PEI oysters weekly, and the Coddy Canes and Melmo's treats get rave reviews from our dog as well.
