OUR PICKS
1. Buford Highway Farmers Market
The AJC dining team’s specialist in International Cuisine Gene Lee says, “Let’s face it, Atlanta is a landlocked city, so local markets have to import our seafood. The criteria then becomes: who handles seafood the best and adheres to quality standards the highest? My choice is Buford Highway Farmers Market. I’m consistently pleased with the store’s quality and large variety, which includes some live sea critters still perky with a lot of fight left in them.”

5. Super H Mart

Definitely Dekalb’s Farmer’s Market. Although I must admit I haven’t tried too many other places because YDFM is only five minutes from my house. We don’t cook seafood at home very often. So the convenience of YDFM is nice when the mood strikes us. I’m sure there are other good places to get fresh seafood around town. I’m anxious to hear about some.

DeKalb Farmer’s Market — I’m a fresh seafood snob and this place rocks with its many options. Fantastic shell fish!

If you want fresh seafood, make the quick 4 hour drive to Hilton Head and visit Barnacle Bills….the experience is worth the drive! If you have not met Bill and Greg then you’re missing out! Very one-of-a-kind!! Fresh local Low Country Seafood with deliveries daily!!!
