I lived in Kansas for a year and missed this so much....fresh seafood is one of my favorite things. In the last week Ive had:

Friday - fresh trout, deep-fried

Tuesday - fresh shrimp (i headed 50lbs worth, then had scampi for dinner)

wednesday - fresh blue crab, steamed and served with buttah and old-bay

fresh seafood is one of the few things about where i live that is worth a damn.

now to find some scallops...

QFT! Methinks someone needs to find a better fishmonger.


This thread makes me miss living in The Keys. Fresh mahi mahi is the junk fish down there. Up here it's the semi-exotic import!

*dreams about conch chowder and bigass shrimp*

yup go to asian markets with large seafood sections.
low turnover is esp bad for seafood..fresh is best. many american markets, you see their dinky fish section with few customers ....stay away.
asian markets sometimes have them still alive in a tank🙂 thats fresh as it gets.

Sea not found.
 
Sorry but I rather eat rock than ocean fish. It is garbage.

Fish here, on the Mediterranean however, mmmmm delicious 😀
 
I had king crab and top sirloin with mashed potatoes on the side last night, with an appetizer of clam chowder and bread. Washed down with a Firestone beer. Plus our table was outside about 50 feet from the ocean.
 
There's a sushi place right inside the Tsujiki fish market in Tokyo. The food was literally caught the night before - it was delicious and very fresh.

must... resist... crabs... joke...


Anyways, to what someone said before. Most fish should never smell or taste fishy. It should smell like the ocean, like seaweed, like a salty breeze. Also make sure that the fishmonger keeps a clean workstation. Too may times I go into a place that has fresh live fish being cleaned/filleted on a pretty dirty table. Also, fish blood usually stinks too, make sure the fishmonger cleans and drains it out.

Darn you! I found the perfect restaurant on the edge of the ocean that serves some awesome fresh seafood in an outstanding atmosphere. If the price of gas wasn't so high, I'd drive down for dinner tomorrow night (except it's 10 hours away, so a lot of gas.)

When purchasing "fresh" seafood, you need to be careful - some places advertise "fresh" meaning "previously frozen, but it was frozen within a day or so of being caught." One of my local grocery stores does this all the time. (And, it smells pretty bad in the seafood section. I don't know why people fall for that "fresh" thing.)
