Despite the name, this is definitely a restaurant rather than a market, and a good choice for seafood lovers. We enjoy grabbing an outdoor table for the "buck-a-shuck" and Bloody Mary specials on Sundays. (For fresh seafood to bring home, check out their market stall in the Easton Public Market).

A bit of a drive to this spot in Stockton, but well worth it for the thoughtful, French-bistro focused menu. This small, romantic space is often hung with works from top area artists. Don't miss the quenelles poisson if they are on the menu. The blanquette de veau is another favorite. The BYO policy makes it deliciously affordable, too.
