Atlanta Fish Market

On Katy's birthday we met up with her parents at the 65 foot copper fish in Buckhead.  I hadn't been here in a long time and was excited for the freshly flown-in seafood treat that was in store.  An Atlanta flagship restaurant, the award-winning seafood spot has a cornucopia of fresh seafood to choose from and a menu that changes twice every day.  Just off the main strip and hustle and bustle of the city, Atlanta Fish Market gives diners the local neighborhood feeling you would hope for.

We tried to sample as much as we could because its not everyday in Atlanta you can try scores of different seafood at the same location.  For appetizers, there were the Oysters Rockefeller, Loaded Iceberg Wedge salad, and lump crabcakes.  For entrees, you can go one of two ways: choose one of the many prepared signature entrees which Katy's mom ordered the Trout Meuniere, or you can create your own dish.  This is what the rest of us did.  Choosing between twenty different fresh catches, we were able to choose our preparation as well as sides.  Katy's dad with the Sea scallops, Katy with Blackened Lemon Sole and I chose the Broiled Red Snapper.  Everything about the meal was great and they were executed perfectly.  In my opinion, taking in to consideration the expansive and very fresh menu, this is consistently the best seafood restaurant in Atlanta and worth a stop from any traveler.
