Best Place to Buy Scallops in New Orleans?

[Vineaux]

My wife and I enjoy cooking fresh scallops and to date have only come to trust those procured at Whole Foods. Any suggestions on where else we can.

Is there anywhere decent near Uptown? How about Rouse's? I have been wondering this same thing.

I'm not as picky as OP about my greens, but I find that the Mid-City Rouses has a much better selection of greens than the Tchoupitoulas Rouses. In fact they have a pretty great produce section. But of course the real draw is the walk in beer cooler.

I have been trying to find the very best place to buy fresh fish - especially LOCAL LA.

Hoping to hear about that in your thread.

Whole Foods is just so grossly overpriced and they have few local choices - bought some local drum there and it was good but that was the only choice.

Forget Roberts - everything as far away as Vietnam. Makes me so mad that it's cheaper to ship across the world than sell from here.

We need to promote and support local

Call Harlan Pierce..he's been in the business as long as I can remember...I haven't seen his trucks around--or him for that matter-- lately but someone in the business will know where he is. Then, too, you could always gop down to the docks at 0400hrs and pick a truck to follow, as a college friend used to do. Once, though, he woke up (at about 6:30) to the fact that the shrimp truck he was following was heading North, probably to Maryland (where I had spectacular Louisiana shrimp one time).

Widest selection of local fresh fish is at Hong Kong Market in Gretna, on Behrman Highway. Yellowfin tuna ($8.99/lb), pompano, snapper, cobia, grouper, live carp & catfish, live crabs...
