The Fish Stew is definitely Joe's signature dish (although the twice-baked potatoes are a close second). Has anyone else had their smoked scallops? As loyal customers know, they smoke salmon right there on-site. Well, one day I'm at Joe's and I see some caramel-colored scallops in the cooler. I asked Robin, and he said they were – you guessed it – smoked scallops for a catering job. Nice guys that they are, Robin let me try one. Words still fail me when it comes describing the deliciousness... Good call, Jennifer. The Fish Stew is definitely Joe’s signature dish (although the twice-baked potatoes are a close second).

We are lucky to have 2 fish markets in this one-horse town. Joe's is as close to the old General Seafood we will ever have in Charleston again. BUT - none of you mentioned the Hungarian Fish Stew. It is, what most consider to be, Joe's signature dish. The killer cocktail sauce, the remoulade, the crabcakes and the Fish Stew. Robin told me he has been making that stew for 20 years. Please never stop. You can get a pint or a quart - and it is rarely in the fridge, as it goes so quickly! Most days I get it, I don't even have to warm it up once I get home. Some crusty bread and even some rice or orzo (if you need it to strtech for several folks) makes a meal out of that bowl of goodness. Joe’s is awesome.

I go into Joe's and ask for these exact instructions every time... I'm sure they are feel like telling me to "GET A PEN and SOME PAPER LADY!", but instead patiently explain it again. I love them.

Joe's doesn't always have it, but when they do it's like Christmas. It cooks quicker than the farm-raised salmon (less fat), so I drizzle it with some olive oil, season with some kosher salt and fresh-ground pepper and chuck it into a 400 degree oven for only 7-9 minutes. Incredible! If there's any left over, I say add it to a frittata with some shallots, baby spinach and goat cheese. I, too, could go on forever...

I'm a salmon addict, so that's what I buy there most often. But I've also gotten delicious oysters there. It depends on which kind you get, though - I've had some from Joe's that were just average. Unfortunately, I have no recollection of which kinds they were, but they're really good about answering any questions and offering suggestions, so just ask them what's good. They make a mignonette (a vinegary, shalloty sauce) that tastes awesome with the oysters. Oh, and if you feel like splurging (I've only done it once), get the Chilean sea bass. Yum. Then there's the tilapia for fish tacos...I could go on forever. :) I’m so in love with Joe’s Fish Market. I’m a salmon addict, so that’s what I buy there most often.

And they don't skimp on the crab, either. Oh yeah… the crabcakes are very tasty! And they don’t skimp on the crab, either.

Although my other half is a marvelous chef, just about anyone can prepare the fish from Joe's. I like mine just seared in a pan, then baked in the oven a few minutes, sans sauce. One other great and easy-to-prepare choice at Joe's is their crabcake. I've lived in South Carolina, and Florida, but Joe's is the best I've had!

I'm telling you what, the halibut at Joe's is completely scrumptious. And the fact that it's so mild lends itself to pretty much any seasoning options that you can think of.
