CTN LLC Seafood Fruit Season

Here is another place I found by accident.
It’s a tradition where I cook a seafood dinner for my «NorCal family» when they come back to town annually. Several years ago they took me to their go-​to seafood stall which is right across of CTN LLC. I noticed the go-​to stall had seafood that didn’t seem fresh by the color and texture. When I took a look at CTN which pretty much had the same seafood it looked better and the prices were about the same so I suggested my friends to try CTN instead. Because I was the «executive chef» (pardon me for bumping up my status) I could call the shots so we bought shrimp with heads and Manila clams for dinner. I made pepper-​salt shrimp and clams with black bean sauce and «I killed» that night. The seafood was really, really yummy and no leftovers…
Since then I have been a faithful customer of CTN LLC. I was hesitant in writing this review as I don’t want the prices to go up with more foot traffic here. But in honesty, I get my shrimp and clams here and I cook for my family and friends on a regular basis. I once cooked 5 pounds of Manila clams and prepared it with black bean sauce and my whole family ate it all!!!
When purchasing your fresh seafood you have the option of the staff bagging your seafood OR you can select your own. If selecting, they have courtesy disposable gloves and plastic bags and you choose the ones you want. For me I choose my own (i.e. for Manila clams the larger ones have larger shell, thus weighing more so I do NOT get the large ones).
Besides seafood, they also carry fresh seasonal fruits. Today they had XL long ngan and there were so many middle-​aged Asian ladies elbowing each other to buy the fruit. I kept hearing the owner tell the customers to not break off the excess stems and/​or leaves as the fruit is sold by the pound.
Furthermore, this place also sells boiled peanuts as they pretty much have a large pot steaming near the cash register. I’ve also noticed some soft drinks in the refrigerator for sale.
Overall, a great place to get your shrimp and clams. I’ve made a lot of great meals with the seafood here and I thank CTN for selling me fresh seafood at great prices.
