Fisherman's Fresh Seafood Market & Grill

Don't let the outside fool you - this place is VERY good.  With a couple of improvements it will earn five stars, and I will certainly be back to update it when appropriate.

After seeing it on Yelp and wondering if maybe it was closed for years or something, I called to find out where it was.  Turns out it's on the main drag from Baldwin into Cornelia across from the Skyland motel in the building where a bakery used to be.  I pass by there all the time and never knew there was a seafood place.  They SERIOUSLY need a better sign.

Anyway, we went in late (8-ish) on a Wednesday night before a holiday and were the only patrons in the place.  It was hardly impressive from the outside, to say the least.  We nearly passed, but I said "the worst it can be is awful", so in we went.  I'm glad my dire prediction was wrong.  But it was an inauspicious start - we were quickly informed that the only drinks were water and sweet tea, there were no oysters (no loss there for me), and they were out of clam chowder.  The menus were really cheap laminated paper.

My daughter loves Tilapia, which she had grilled and licked the plate.  My mom had fish & chips; she loved the fish and was ambivalent about the chips.  My sister's popcorn shrimp was OK, per her.  The hushpuppies were a hit with nearly everyone, though I thought they were a bit greasy.  

But the Asian fare was a real hit.  As with everything there, the eggrolls are made from scratch, and they are excellent.  And they have Pho.  In Cornelia.  My GF loves Pho.  So we each had one: beef and seafood combo.  And they absolutely rocked.  

We got to talking to the chef, who studied at Le Cordon Bleu in California.  How she wound up in Cornelia I can only marvel at, but am thankful.  She has an obvious talent and affinity for good food.  They are in the process of revamping the menu and starting a lunch buffet.  We'll be back for more.  Soon.
