The prices are much better than Asian markets, the food is fresh, and it's packaged very carefully. I need to buy groceries from Wee every week, but there's no fresh food delivery service through Gofftown, so I can only order through a friend or acquaintance. It's a shame because it's so inconvenient! Hopefully, they will offer fresh food delivery through Gofftown in the future. I'll only buy from Wee and won't need to go to any other market anymore.

Super easy to cook in a pot with broth. It still has flavor even though it was frozen. The meat is tender and breaks apart easily. The steaks are already de-scaled and cleaned so they are a quick dinner option. Just be careful of the tiny bones!
Lan 蘭
this fish is absolutely delicious and will always be one grocery list. I love it, but beware there are tiny bones for people who do not.like bones and be careful with giving to children but it is absolutely divine.
