Ballantyne Magazine Touts Carolina Fish Market as Trend Setter

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - March 5, 2015 - PRLog -- From Carolina Boat to Carolina Table®, that's the Carolina Fish Market's slogan. They live by those words. So much so that they trademarked it. So when Ballantyne Magazine highlighted the Carolina Fish Market as the pioneer in creating the ocean to table movement in Charlotte, North Carolina, it was no surprise to its Chief Fishmonger and their founder, Jim Seidel. "Fresh is what it's all about when it comes to fish or any food for that matter", Seidel said. "Really fresh fish should smell like the ocean, clean and fresh just like our fish do."

Seidel said he was surprised when he moved here 10 years ago that there wasn't any fresh fish. "How can we live 3 1/2 hours from the Atlantic Ocean and yet have nothing fresh when it comes to fish", Seidel questioned. So he decided to do something about by opening the Carolina Fish Market in Ballantyne, an upscale area of South Charlotte, NC.

Not only have families and foodies jumped on the fresh fish bandwagon, but also personal chefs are frequent customers say the chief fishmonger. The Carolina Fish Market gets a majority of their fresh fish from the Carolinas on a daily basis. The selection changes daily based off of what was caught the day before and can be seen daily at http://carolinafishmarket.com/current-catch/. The fish market also touts many other sought after local products from the Charlotte area like local beef and grass fed steaks, local cheeses, local farm fresh eggs, Charleston coffee & grits, local olive oil, local marinara and a brand new feature is their self-serve whole grain and rice bar featuring In Harvest whole grains, rice, legumes and sushi rice. Gourmet products are abound in the market. If you're a foodie at heart, this is your place to shop for those specialty items that grocery stores and organic stores just won't carry.

The Carolina Fish Market currently serves Charlotte with two locations. The Original location in Ballantyne's Cedar Walk Center and in the Southpark area in the Sharon Corners Shopping Center.  You can also visit the Carolina Fish Market online for more info, chef made and customer made recipes and a VIP page for cool discounts, promos and first in line news on fun incoming products like blue crab or oysters.
