While the Alamo City has never boasted the kind of mega-sized Asian markets that have popped up around Houston and the DFW Metroplex, Tim’s Oriental & Seafood Market comes damned close. Don’t let the strip-mall location fool you, this market packs in a dizzying abundance of fresh, frozen, jarred and preserved foods representing the cuisines of China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines and beyond. Roast duck and barbecue pork are prepared in house and the live blue crabs and crawfish are available on certain days of the week.
