The Fish Market has long been a staple for locals seeking affordable seafood away from the coast. Guests enter a large market area where orders are placed at the counter from the extensive menu. Wine may be selected from the racks or cooler at retail prices, and opened in the dining room without paying a corkage fee. An oyster bar graces one side of the market. Among the Greek-influenced dishes we like the Greek Islands shrimp with feta, garlic, green bell pepper, tomato and olives. We also suggest the shrimp and pasta, trout almandine and citrus-grilled orange roughy. Southern sides such as fried okra and green beans are offered, along with Greek potatoes and Greek salad. Do try the John’s Slaw, finely shredded with a tangy French dressing. Desserts include red velvet cake, German chocolate cake, Key lime pie and cheesecake.
