Asian grocery stores and supermarkets stock ingredients, snacks and household goods that general American supermarkets often do not carry, organized by category rather than by country of origin in most stores. Produce and live or fresh seafood sections are usually at the back or side of the store, and weekend mornings bring the largest crowds and freshest restock. Many larger Asian supermarkets include a hot deli or food court counter selling prepared meals by the pound or as fixed plates, useful for a quick lunch while shopping. Labels are frequently bilingual or untranslated, so store staff can usually help locate a specific ingredient if you ask. Cash, cards and mobile pay are all commonly accepted at larger chains; smaller specialty shops may be cash-preferred.
Hours are published for 5 days a week. On most of those days it is open 10 amβ6 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (828) 231-5607. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, momavl.com.

Asheville is in North Carolina, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Asheville follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Today we dropped in for lunch at Mother Ocean We chose the Grouper Po Boy. It was absolutely the very best fish sandwich we've ever had in Asheville or anywhere else. The bun was fresh and crispy; a perfect vehicle for the grouper which was perfectly cooked and hot off the press. It was beautiful today and we dined on the patio outside. It was a very generous sammie and you likely will take 1/2 home. You do not want to miss this summer delight...We are in hopes they hold it over. What do you say Sam?? Top notch and hope you get there to enjoy one.

We had an amazing experience at Mother Ocean Seafood Market. Everything is reliably fresh, and their seafood is truly outstanding. The clam chowder is excellent, and their in-house specials are absolutely worth the trip - excellent shrimp burger and crab cakes! We actually drive up from Brevard because you just canβt find seafood this fresh and high-quality back home. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, which makes the experience even better. On our most recent visit, we tried the green gill oystersβwhat a treat! We had them raw and then Oyster Rockefeller. And if they donβt have something in stock, they can usually get it for you since they receive deliveries twice a day. Highly recommend if youβre anywhere near Asheville!

Best fried grouper ive had in years. Home made tartar and remoulade were delicious and creamy, fries were seasoned and perfectly crisp. I got the recommendation for a hog fish sandwich and will definitely be back!!

We were looking for a local seafood in Asheville when we stumbled upon Mother Ocean. I ordered the fish & chips, my wife got the lobster roll. The food was absolutely phenomenal! The fish, fries, and lobster were cooked to perfection. Oh and they have some of the best hushpuppies around. Five star service! We will gladly drive an hour and a half to come back just for the food! What a hidden gem in the heart of Asheville.
