The words “seafood” and “Arizona” aren’t typically used in the same sentence — and for good reason. After all, we are a landlocked state (not to mention the fact that our climate is mostly desert). For this reason, seafood lovers are always pleasantly surprised to learn that the Grand Canyon State is home to a number of restaurants serving up fresh catches flown in from Alaska, New Zealand, and other prime seafood spots. Some of the best seafood in Arizona, including Maine lobster, freshly-shucked oysters, shrimp, and more, can be found at Seafood Market & Restaurant in Mesa. You’ll love this place — guaranteed.
Fresh seafood in the desert isn't a pipe dream. It does exist, and some of the very best is waiting for you at Seafood Market & Restaurant in Mesa.
The restaurant's nautical-themed atmosphere will win you over immediately, along with the fast and friendly service -- and we haven't even gotten around to talking about the food yet!
Why not start off with some freshly-shucked oysters on the half shell? If raw seafood isn't your cup of tea, you can also get your oysters Rockefeller-style with spinach, Mornay sauce, and parmesan cheese. Other appetizers include crab cakes, fried calamari, and many other scrumptious selections.
As far as main courses go, there is something to please every palate. Perhaps a big, comforting bowl of clam chowder will do the trick for you. You can't go wrong with the po'boys or fish and chips, either.
If you're in the mood for something a bit fresher, your options range from Idahoan trout to Pacific swordfish to orange roughy straight from New Zealand. The restaurant also specializes in Maine lobster tails, Alaskan king crab legs, and a variety of other regional favorites.
Other menu options include steak, surf and turf, and south-of-the-border dishes such as shrimp tacos and seafood enchiladas. Most entrees are served with your choice of clam chowder or salad, steamed veggies, and either coleslaw, cottage cheese, fries, rice pilaf, seafood pasta, or a baked potato.
For more information about the restaurant, including current hours of operation and a full menu, please visit the Seafood Market & Restaurant website.
