Turner’s Seafood, Gloucester

Just blocks from Gloucester’s waterfront, this seafood market serves up the freshest battered and fried fish around, pulling directly from one of the plant’s processing lines in Turner’s wholesale division, which provides the catch of the day to the emporium’s Melrose and Salem seafood restaurants. It’s strictly to-go, boxed up for a perfect evening at the beach, and the fryer goes daily from noon until they close. 4 Smith St., Gloucester, 978-281-7172, turners-seafood.com/gloucester-market
