Hot Dish

Not just for seafood anymore, TJ's Seafood at Preston and Royal, as well as selling really fresh seafood (clearly marked if it's fresh or flash-frozen), also sells a variety of Dallas' finest locally produced foodstuffs: Raviolismo's ravioli; bread from Empire Baking Company; flower, fruit, and herb-flavored sorbets made by Out of A Flower; cheeses from Mozzarella Company; pat‚s from L'Epicurean. Plus a free lemon in every bag, to offset the inevitable odor of even fresh seafood.
