What are the benefits of buying seafood directly from local markets instead of the grocery store?

Buying from local markets often means fresher products, as they typically source seafood directly from local fishermen, reducing the time from ocean to plate. • You also support local businesses and communities, which is a great way to contribute to the local economy. • Additionally, local fishmongers can provide expert advice on preparation, cooking methods, and even suggest new types of seafood to try.
