“ Outstanding attention to customers, and thoughtful attention to details. All the products are carefully procured or made onsite. The owner even helped my husband pick the perfect cheeses from a huge and diverse selection from different countries. We were on the hunt for a certain French cheese. The feeling inside is calm, pleasant and positive. I adore the gorgeous flowers displayed outside the back entrance!! ”
“ Bryan's has the freshest fish and meat in town. I always buy salmon here. I make it with a light sauce of Indian seasoning and flavor. It's delicious. Subject: Nina's Salmon Recipe For 8 people 8 Fillets of fish (6oz each with skin but scales removed. Farmed is more tasty than wild because it has a more buttery taste) 1 large yellow onion 2 large tomatoes - chopped skin removed (Alternative option use 2 cups or more whole grape tomatoes) 1 Serrano pepper 2 inches finely diced fresh ginger 4 cloves crushed garlic 1 generous heaped teaspoon turmeric 1 generous heaped teaspoon ground coriander 1 generous heaped teaspoon ground cumin 1 generous teaspoon cumin seeds Olive oil (2 Oz Butter optional) Chopped cilantro optional Method: Line large cookie sheet with foil Space out salmon fillets onto sheet- do not wash the fish, Check for bones and remove them- use tweezers to pull them out Carefully Sprinkle fish with Kosher salt - (No more than 1 teaspoon) Set aside at room temperature Turn on oven to high broil Set oven shelf at second level from top Prepare sauce: Medium heat Heat 2-3 tablespoons olive (or avocado oil or grape seed oil) in large frying pan When hot add cumin seeds. When cumin seeds are dark brown add diced onion. Stir onions until soft - do not brown them. Add crushed garlic, diced ginger, diced Serrano pepper. Stir and cook for 3 minutes Add ground spices- turmeric, coriander and cumin Add half teaspoon salt Add a dash of fresh black pepper Stir - cook 2 minutes Add tomatoes stir- and turn off heat immediately. Add butter if you like some. Now put salmon fillets under broiler for 5 minutes - It might create some smoke - open the windows! After 5 minutes take salmon out of oven IMPORTANT STEP: change oven setting to 350°F convect. Spread sauce evenly all over salmon fillets Return salmon + sauce to oven for 4 minutes more. Check temperature in middle of thickest piece - 130°F is cooked. If it hasn't reached 130° return to oven for 1 minute and check again- check every minute It shouldn't take more than 10 - 12 min Don't overcook the salmon. It's better to undercook than overcook Note: it's important to take salmon out of fridge, spread on cookie sheet and salt it before you make the sauce. It should be out of the fridge for 30 mins before you cook it. I always serve it with plain rice, yellow lentil/mung dal and green bean subzi. The salmon is even more delicious with saag. Nina ”
“ Super nice people and reasonable prices . Great cold cuts and produce. I like old school bizs especially to support then especially now that they're struggling so much ”
“ Good quality meats and vegetables. Prepared foods can be hit or miss (mac and cheese had no flavor). However, the sandwiches are all great; one of the best turkey sandwiches ever. I do all my grocery shopping here and the atmosphere is very comfortable. Large enough to have everything you need but not so large you feel like you're in a warehouse. ”
“ Still a gem. Best tiramisu in town. Puts all those North Beach cafes to shame. A prolific deli selection. High quality seafood counter, with prices to match. Attentive service. What's not to love? ”
“ For a small, single store market Bryan's caters to the upscale crowd. There's a meat/butcher and seafood counter. Regulars are greeted by name! The shelves are super well-kept. You can find most things that you're going to need. The standout for me is their floral section. It's in the back (parking area side). The buyer of flowers has an eye for beauty. 'Cause he knows his customers are looking for this. If i had to buy a bouquet of flowers want to arrange a floral display myself, I'll come to Bryan's. They have the most picturesque flowers. ”
