The Fish Market - Liberty, Missouri
Liberty, Missouri is a picture of small-town charm with a hidden pearl that locals visit when they're jonesing for seafood. A plastic shark guards the entrance to The Fish Market, which offers up a beach shack/vintage diner ambiance and plenty of delicious fried fish fare. If you're feeling adventurous, order the fried gator bites or frog legs. Otherwise, the 1/2 catfish 1/2 shrimp basket with a side of okra is always a winner. Washed down with a more than respectable selection of craft beers, it's the kind of place that successfully "hits the spot."
