What To Look For At Fish Market Miami

By David Martin


Frozen seafood is a great time saver, and only requires a trip to your local supermarket. However, if you really want your seafood dish to shine, you should go for the freshest fish possible, which means that a Fish Market Miami is the best way to go. You can get the freshest shellfish and so much more there to really make your dish shine.

The city of Miami is right on the water, so you would expect there to be a fish market on every corner, but that is simply not the case. While there are only a handful of markets in the area, they all have something great to offer, and the locals know exactly when to go to get the best catch.

Many locals who know about fishing opt to buy all their fish whole. This means they the entire thing, heads, guts, scales and all. They either opt to clean it themselves at home, or they ask the fishmonger they bought it from to do the filleting and cleaning for them. The reason so many go this route is that you can only keep them whole for a day before the guts go bad, so if they are still whole, that means they were caught less than 24 hours before, and so are super fresh.

Of course, if convenience and a quick in and out trip is absolutely necessary, then you can buy the filleted pieces, which means they have already had the bones, scales and guts removed. In some cases, the skin is also removed, though many gourmet cooks insist on still having the skin on for extra flavor. You can get it either way, all you have to do is ask.

In addition, you can also buy shrimp and other shellfish such as crabs, oysters and even lobsters that have likely been flown in from Maine or another region of the Atlantic. The great thing about Miami's location is that it is so close to the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, so it can draw from the offerings of three different bodies of water, giving you a near limitless selection of items.

The owners and vendors of these markets realize that you may need a few extra things related to the meal you are going to cook with your purchase, so they offer them there so that you don't have to make an extra trip to the grocery store. You might find wine to pair with your meal, as well as sea salts, Old Bay seasoning and more.

Although many of the markets specialize in local catches, they will also likely stock a supply of nonlocal items in order to give you an even broader selection. Branzino from the Mediterranean, salmon from Alaska and even shrimp from Asia may be had.

There may also be a small selection of precooked foods, which takes the hassle out of preparing it yourself, in case you are short on time. You can buy fresh dips, fish and chips, and other delicious dishes that are ready to eat as soon as you get home.
