Seafood Restaurant’s Best Staples

Looking to taste the rich flavors of fresh seafood? Delicious, seasonal seafood is readily available at the Marietta seafood restaurant, Mac’s Raw Bar & Market! Plenty of seafood can be found on our menu, and we have delicious meal options that include some of the best staples you can find in a seafood restaurant, such as Mac’s oyster bar. 


From the river to the ocean, we have a rundown of the essential things that make up our seafood menu, and why they’re so popular in general for a raw bar. This list is a feast for the eyes, and you may find yourself getting hungry!


Oysters: A Raw Bar Classic

When it comes to a seafood restaurant, especially a raw bar, oysters are the bread and butter of the menu. These bivalves are briny, tender, and delectable, and there are a variety of them to choose from, with unique flavors and varying levels of brininess. 


Here at Mac’s, oysters are a big part of our raw bar menu, and we carry a variety to choose from. Enjoy the salty seaweed notes of the East Coast, or the mild and tender flavor of the Gulf Coast. Whatever you prefer, you can enjoy a fresh plate of them, served with our house sauces, lemon, and butter crackers. 


Shrimp, Crabs, and Lobsters

A good seafood restaurant knows the drill with shellfish: crabs, lobsters, and shrimp are a must! On their own or incorporated into a dish, these types of shellfish are classic and flavorful. There are many ways to prepare them, from low country boil style to having them on a tasty po’boy.


If you’re looking to enjoy any of these delicious shellfish, your favorite Marietta seafood restaurant has you covered! With their versatile flavors, Mac’s provides a variety of dishes for you to enjoy. You can have your shrimp on our fresh blackened shrimp cobb salad, or buttermilk fried with salt and pepper in our crispy Brunswick shrimp plate. If you’re in the mood for crab or lobster, you can have them served whole with drawn butter, or incorporated into delectable lump crab cakes and Maine lobster rolls with Thai chili coleslaw. There are plenty of options to choose from!


Delicious Fresh Fish

Fresh caught fish are a main staple of a seafood restaurant, and for good reason. From trout to salmon, every fish has a different flavor, and a multitude of dishes can be made from them to complement those flavors.


We have a wide variety of fresh fish available at Mac’s, such as grouper, North Georgia trout, and Florida red snapper. These fish are incorporated into a variety of dishes on our menu and paired with fresh and delicious ingredients. Enjoy fish tacos and crispy fish baskets with seasonal catches, like our Florida red snapper, or experience rich flavor with our Italian seafood pasta. These mouth-watering dishes are guaranteed to delight!
