Are you ready to wrap your taste buds around the freshest catch of the day? Each week Midtown Market receives shipments of fresh fish and seafood that tastes great with any of our spice rubs and marinades. Enjoy fresh salmon, tuna and tilapia each week. Or if you’re looking for something a little more intense then join our Seafood Club. It’s free to join and there are no obligations to make a purchase. Simply sign up for our monthly e-mails and Ricky will let you know what fresh fish and seafood is scheduled to arrive each week.

We’ve shipped in everything from live lobsters to King Crab Legs, wild-caught fish, stone crabs and fresh oysters. Every Friday we receive something different, seafood that you won’t find at other local grocery stores in Paducah. Fresh caught seafood is shipped to our market overnight and we make it available to the customer the very next morning. You can’t live in the middle of the Upper South and get saltwater fish and seafood any more fresh than that.

Here’s a little something to try the next time you grill tuna steaks.

Most tuna steaks on restaurant menus are cooked to medium rare. This is easy to do and happens rather quickly. Midtown Market butcher Ricky Rowell likes to cover each steak with a little olive oil and adds a light citrus and herb seasoning. Midtown Market carries a Lemon Basil Thyme herbal rub if you’re looking for something easy to prepare on a weeknight. After seasoning each steak, grill the tuna for about four to five minutes on each side.

Voila! You have now prepared a feast fit for a king!
