What To Look For At Fish Market Miami

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.

Thankfully, Miami is right near the Atlantic, where a lot of great sea catches are available on a daily basis. Though there are only a handful of markets that are actually located in Miami, they are all high quality and offer you the ability to buy whole or already filleted fish.

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.

There are times when you will be in a hurry, so you will not have time to clean and fillet a whole fish. You can have the fishmongers do it for you while you wait, but this takes up time you may not have if you are in a rush. All the markets have e remedy for this because they sell fillets that are already cleaned. You can even get some that have the skin still on them if you like.

There are also crustaceans for sale, such as shrimp, which you can buy either deveined or with the shells on. In addition, there are also crabs, lobster and oysters for sale. Some things, like the lobster, might be frozen because they come from much further up the coast. A lot of the other stuff is fresh since it can be caught either in the lower Atlantic, Caribbean, or nearby Gulf of Mexico.

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.

You can also find a fairly broad selection of items that are not local to any of the three bodies of water near Miami. For example, many places stock the popular Branzino, which comes from the Mediterranean. Farmed shrimp from Asia or Alaskan salmon are popular as well.

Some vendors also offer a few items liked fried fish and chips or even seafood dips to give you something you can eat immediately, rather than having to cook it yourself. With all of these choices, it makes sense to check out these markets today. Your taste buds and your family and dinner guests will all thank you.
