Buckhead Restaurant Week-Atlanta Fish Market

Buckhead Restaurant Week is here from May 17th-May 25th 2014 where you get to enjoy $15, $25 & $35 three course brunch, lunch and dinner menus from participating restaurants such as Veni Vedi Vici, Buckhead Bottle Bar, Coast, Cook Hall and more. Throughout the week I will be bringing you a taste of a few restaurants participating in this amazing foodie event.

Over the weekend I visited the Atlanta Fish Market located on 265 Pharr Road. With a flashy marquis and unbelievably huge coy fish located outside the building, this restaurant is not one to miss. As you drive to the entrance there is valet waiting upon your arrival and gives you a ticket. Parking is $2 with the exception of a tip. As you enter the restaurant there is a waiting area and the hostess. The staff is very generous and the interior décor is as if you are dinning on a ship with wooden tables and cushioned seats. In the dining area there is a display of a variety of seafood that is on the menu. Atlanta Fish Market sells the fish as is and you can take it home to cook.

This week Atlanta Seafood Market brings you a $15 lunch menu three course dinner menu for $35. For my first time I decided to try their dinner menu.

Appetizers

Yummy-Yummy Roll

Buffalo Shrimp with Blue Cheese

The first course was an appetizer with the choice of Caesar Salad, Savannah Blue Crab Chowder, Spring Rolls and Yummy-Yummy Sushi Roll.

    Entree 

Sizzling Platter

For the main course you have a choice of Sizzling Platter which is “Shanghai Style” shrimp, calamari, scallops, and fish filet with stir-fry vegetables. I greatly enjoyed this entrée. The seafood was tempura served with sweet chili sauce. So mind you this dish is sweet.

Smoked Atlantic Salmon

Cedar Planked Short Smoked Atlantic Salmon which is whipped potatoes, corn chowder sauce and mango papaya salsa.

Blackened Tilapia

Blackened Colombian Tilapia with grilled spring vegetables and whipped potatoes. I have never had tilapia that tasted so good. The fish was fresh and moist and vegetables well steamed.

                                                                Desserts

        For desserts AFM had a great variety from sweet to savory.

Strawberry Res Leches

Your first choice for dessert is the Strawberry Tres Leches which comes topped with strawberry ice cream. It’s a very moist pound cake with some sort of crème.

Key Lime Pie

                     For your second choice you have the key lime Pie.

Chocolate Toffee Crunch Pie

Third item on the dessert menu is the Chocolate Toffee Crunch Pie which is to die for. It’s a very rich chocolate toffee with an Oreo crust topped with caramel sauce. One bite and you can’t stop.

I greatly enjoyed my experience at Atlanta Fish Market. What I loved about it is that the staff is very friendly and the managers are very hands on. It’s not at many restaurants where you see managers on the floor, at the hostess desk or in the kitchen making sure that their customers are happy, people aren’t waiting too long to be seated and that the food is always coming out hot, fresh and on time. I would like to thank our waiter Bobby for his great service and knowledge of the menu. I would definitely be back.
