A health inspector found several violations at a Marietta seafood market during a recent check-up.

Cajun Crawfish and Seafood on Windy Hill Road failed its March 10 inspection with a score of 54/U due to issues with greasy sections of the kitchen and a mildew build-up around pipes under a sink.

Any score 69 or below is considered failing.

The inspector reported that some employees were not properly washing their hands and sometimes didn’t have soap to use.

There were also issues with frog legs, catfish and corn being kept at too warm a temperature, the report said. The fryers had a build-up of grease on the hoods and along the pipes behind the hood.

A layer of mildew along a leaky pipe was also reported.

The market earned a score of 81 during its previous two inspections in February 2016 and July 2015.

Phong Le who works at the market, which also fries and boils food, said he was there for the inspection.

He’s confident they’ll pass their follow-up evaluation. Those usually are usually done within 10 days of the original visit.

“They wanted us to clean and we (did) it all,” he said.

234 Windy Hill Road, Marietta, Ga., 30060
