The Best Fresh Seafood Markets Around Connecticut

If you enjoy the frozen farmed shrimp from Indonesia that the local market sells next to plant-based burgers, good for you. I'm at the point of my life that when I indulge, it's got to be the best, I don't care about the price.

If I want fresh seafood, not frozen, we're lucky here in Connecticut, because it's available year-round. I love shopping at the many specialty fish and seafood markets around our beautiful oceanfront state.
