| - I love this type of of deli grocery with prepared foods concept. There is every kind of fishphernalia you could ever want: fresh and frozen seafood, condiments galore, fresh baguettes, and a case of seafood treats for taking away or eating in at a small table near the window. I came in for a quickie lunch, and was greeted by a very patient and friendly fellow behind the counter. Definitely a good front of the house type. I chose the deep-fried large shrimp plate which includes fries and coleslaw ($7.99) and spend a few minutes browsing all the goodies. I will definitely make this my go to spot for fresh fish and seafood, after being disappointed with some other Madison sources for same. I doubt I will ever have to sniff the goods before I buy them here.
My order was delivered by the friendly counter chap no more than 10 minutes later. The battered shrimp was perfect-serving of six. Delicious batter. Very crunchy outside and buttery clean hot shrimp inside. The bed of fries were fine, and the thimble of coleslaw OK. I asked about the batter, and as it turns out they sell the batter mix. I doubt for the reasonable prices here that I would try to make my own at home. I'd prefer to come here. Everything comes together quite nicely here, the high quality fresh ingredients, the fair prices and value, and most important, the flavors. Seafood Center will be on my tops list for everything fishy.
