TL;DR
The best selection of fresh and salted fish/seafood is at the 'Fishka' shop on Griboedova St. near Chavchavadze intersection (50m from the sea). For dried fish, check the area near the old brewery; the central fish market also has fresh fish.

About 300m further toward the sea there's a shop called 'Okean' that also sells fish and seafood, offering fried trout in foil as a specialty. Prices here tend to be higher than at Fishka.
