This seafood sales place is not very clean. People are rude. Prices are high. Quality was questionable.

Stopped for carry-out. Thought my friend said they made shrimp ceviche. Instead the young man said she (the chef) makes snapper ceviche. Purchased 2 servings and home I went. This ceviche's flavor has a wonderful spicy kick to the acidic base balanced with diced tomatoes and onions. Generous amounts of snapper to boot! Serve it with a cool crunchy salad... More

Walked in expecting to be greeted by some friendly people but had the complete opposite experience. I don't know what happened here but I believed the reviewers who said the customer service was great and the prices were cheap. I'd say the prices were what you'd expect for a seafood place. I was realllllyyyy shocked by the way the guy... More

We didn't go to the restaurant, we went only for the fish market. We loved the grouper and shrimp we received here, and everything was very affordable. We even came back the day we left and got some to take home with us, and it was just as good the next day. The people here were helpful as well.

I know the reviews said the hours are sketchy, we went there twice but they were closed both times due to maintenance and vehicle problems. Love to try them on our next visit.

Place is pretty decent, though it's not the cleanest. The people working there aren't the brightest, yet they're friendly. If you're done deep sea fishing it's a great place to stop by for something to eat, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to go.

After reading the reviews here, we decided to try the place out. I was expecting to drop by, make my purchase and hurry back to the condo and try to figure out how to make my shrimp boil. They do carry everything here for the boils plus different varieties of fish, and sides. Their shrimp boil mixture is unbelievable. You'll... More
