My partner ordered the lobster roll and was pleased with the the quantity of lobster, size and taste of bun, as well as the side salad that it comes with. I had the fish and chips. 3 decent sized pieces of a thinly coated fresh perfectly cooked cod. A good stack of crispy french fries and side of coleslaw. The plates are smallish rectangles.The fish sits stop the fries. Condiments were individual packets. What I wish I knew about eating the fish ahead of time. The thin battered crust broke apart very easily which led to the fish flakes falling out. Couldn't dip in tartar sauce without it disintegrating. It was a struggle to enjoy it the way I normally eat fish and chips. The trying to squirt out tiny amounts of ketchup for the fries was an additional pain. We enjoyed the seafood and will be back with my own bottle of ketchup and will ask for an additional plate to separate the fries from the fish.

I stumbled across Locals Seafood while visiting the WNC Farmers Market looking for veggies, and I'm…read morevery glad I did. It is a branch of Locals Seafood at the Raleigh Farmers Market. Almost all the markets in the Asheville area only carry frozen/defrosted seafood. I was born in a little fishing village in New England, three houses from the docks, and am used to buying fish directly from the boat, so frozen just wasn't getting me what I craved. Locals Seafood has its own trucks to bring in fish fresh from the boats on the North Carolina coast. This might lead to slightly higher costs than at the megamarts, but premium quality is always worth at least that, if not more. Over the last month I have tried their Tile Fish, Swordfish, Snapper and Black Drum, and every meal was wonderful, the fish was pristine fresh, firm and flaky. The staff is great, very friendly and attentive, and always willing to share cooking tips and tricks. the store is squeaky clean, all the fresh fish resting on ice, which they pack with your fish to keep it cold on the way home. I have subscribed to their weekly email announcing what is going to be available on the weekend.

A few months ago, I noted that this was a fresh seafood distributor. Or, as the owner Jason Janson would say, "your personal seafood purveyor." Which is both really cool and convenient - really cool because I have always wanted a personal seafood purveyor, even when I didn't know that I needed one (kind of like the ATM before there was an ATM) and convenient, because he is on my way to and from the gym every Saturday morning at 11AM (opening time). Prior to this first visit, I had scoped out his seafood offering on Facebook. There are several good selections, mostly all from the Carolina Coast, with the exception of some lobster tails, or halibut collars, or such specialty items. What makes this personal is that you can go to www.broadwatershrimp.com and join their email list and do pre-orders from there. This is a handy piece of information. I arrived for my first visit after seeing that they had live soft shell crab available and it is peak season right now. Fortunately for me, there were only six available soft shell crab that had not been on a pre-order. And I showed up at 10:30AM, so I was a bit early. They had pre-orders for 32 crab and had 38 on hand. My lucky day. Even at $12 each, still a bargain for this delicacy. All the other seafood looked fresh and excellent, but I was tapped out on seafood for today's budget. Other items are reasonable, but this is special. Jason also sets up on Friday's at the Swamp Rabbit Cafe from 11AM to 4PM but check his website or FB page as this is a full mobile market but also a pop-up location situation that may change. Jason mentioned he is also a personal chef and will be doing a full on Master's golf food spread for a client come this Sunday's final round of the Master's 2024! This seafood market and his personal chef are his primary income, so get out to visit and support this excellent market so we can have it around as an option!

Order at the counter and they give you cups for your self serve beverage and a number for your table so someone can bring out your food when it is ready. Megan and I both ordered off the specials menu. I had the flounder and shrimp platter, Megan had the salmon Bahn mi. My plater was was one thin flounder filet (flounder are flat so that's ok), five shrimp, four hush puppies, and fries. The flounder was corn meal breaded and kinda bland. The shrimp were not shrimpy. Not bad but not good and with a thicker batter. The hush puppies were small but very good. The fries were batter coated and looked like typical food service fries. Megan's sandwich looked good but the salmon was over cooked and tasted earthy. Salmon is a fish, salmon live in in the ocean. How are they earthy? Anyway Megan said the best part of her meal was the fries. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing. This place gets a lot of love but I'd eat at Captain D's for better food for way less money. My plate was $27 and Captain D's is currently advertising a fish and shrimp plate for $7. I will be reviewing that one soon.

This restaurant is simple and the signage and decor represents many of the current events of this community. The lunch special today was a 12 Oz hamburger steak with two sides for $13.95 which is such a bargain in this day and age - most of us chose the lunch special with different sides and the conversations all stopped when the food arrived and only resumed when it was time to order pie.
