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.

There are two main ways to buy your fresh fish. The first is to buy them whole, which is what many gourmets and locals opt for. While this may seem like more work because they still need to be cleaned, it means you have the freshest catch available. See, the guts only last about a day after capture before they go bad, which would spoil the whole fish. So whole ones have to be sold immediately or frozen. So if you see whole, unfrozen ones, that means they 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.
