Atlanta Fish Market Description:
The iconic giant bronze fish all but screams "Eat fish here!" Start with a selection of supremely fresh bivalves from cold and warm waters across the globe. If you want 'em cooked, we suggest the crisp fried version, but there's also an acceptable Rockefeller as well. Alternatively, the buffalo shrimp are first-rate, just spicy enough and served with the classic blue cheese dressing. Pastas, steaks and chops round out the selections in case a patron doesn't fancy fin fare, and the surf 'n' turf concept is amply developed. The core selection of mainstream fish is supported by unusual specialties, such as skate on occasion, that pop up daily, depending on the market. The Hong Kong-style (steamed with soy-sherry reduction sauce and seasoned with ginger and scallions) is to be preferred, in our view, to the fried items, although they're very well done. The lightly breaded calamari (served with lemon aïoli and marinara in a generous portion) are tender and crisp, although only the rings are served, no tentacles. King crab legs and soft-shell crabs when available are not to be missed. The mussels, though, seem small and tasteless. The wine list is thoughtfully constructed and features lots of wines by the glass that work well with the food. Value-driven selections include the outstanding SoloRosa rosé, listed at just $28.
