Make Fish Market Miami A Part Of Your Grocery Purchases

By David Martin


For certain dishes, you might be able to get away with seafood that has been frozen. But it will never taste the same as fresh fish that has been caught that same day. If you live in the Miami area, you can go to a Fish Market Miami to find a wide variety of fish, shellfish and more to make a fantastic dish where the freshness adds to the taste.

With its close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, you would expect Miami to be teeming with fish markets. In reality, there are only a few that are around, but they are large, well stocked and have everything you could possibly desire, plus a few extra items as well.

When it comes to getting the freshest catch available, you should only buy whole fish. The reason why is that the guts of each specimen go bad about a day after being captured, so they must be either frozen or have the guts removed within a day. That means that if you see whole, unfrozen specimens, they were likely captured that very same day, so they are the freshest available. The difference getting the freshest available makes in the taste of your recipe is huge.

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.

Miami is on the Atlantic, but also very close to the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, which means you can get fresh catches from three bodies of water, giving you lots of tasty culinary choices for your next seafood meal. That includes shellfish such as shrimp, oysters, lobsters and crabs. All of them are still relatively local and ensure that you could cook up a storm and never get bored with your choices.

Each market likely also has a small selection of grocery items, most of them related to some kind of seafood dish. For example, many have a selection of sea salts or flavored salts to bring out the flavor of your purchase. Old Bay and other seasonings might be available, as well as wine to pair with your meal.

Most of the catch that you can buy are caught locally, but some may come from much further away. In addition to lobsters that have to be shipped in from the North Atlantic, there may also be salmon from Alaska, or shrimp from Asia.

While this already seems like a wealth of choices, there are still more available at some locations. A few vendors will sell already cooked meals such as seafood dip or fish and chips to give you the chance to nix cooking and relax instead.
