Seafood Kitchen

My husband and I ate here last week. He grew up in the area so he’s had it before. He had a two way combo with trigger fish and snapper. I had a boil. The trigger fish was literally the only seasoned food we received. It was our first try but was really clean tasting. The snapper lacked flavor. Our oysters was poorly shucked but very fresh. The boil was a horrible over priced meal. The corn on the cob tasted just like freezer corn with the No flavor. I did not finish this terrible $40 meal. No amount of butter nor Cajun seasonings at the house could fix this disaster.

Special's on the online menu have not been changed. Was told manager didn't want to spend the money. So the oysters I thought were .75 were 15.00, the crab legs for 10 for 1lb were 27.00. The food was ok (not very flavored. Oil needed changing). The beautiful and tasteful fish was missing half of it's underside. Went a long time ago and you got a lot and it was great. This time ok and not what I expected. The oysters were not shucked correctly ( too much black specks all over). Excellent fried green tomatoes.

Stopped in here based on reviews that I read. We had a large party of 11 people. Waited about an hour and 10 minutes until we were seated. Not to big of a problem, because I figured about an hour wait before we arrived, thanks to a call ahead of time to the restaurant. There is no reservations here, she first come, first serve. For our apps, we got the calamari, fried gator tail, raw oysters and mini blue crab bites. Oysters were good, crab bites were extremely good, gator tail was just ok and the calamari was not a hit. On to the main dishes. Crab Stew, baked stuffed Grouper with Scallops, steak, shrimp tacos, etc. The crab Stew was absolutely delicious and packed full of crab meat. The stuffed Grouper was very good, as well as the seafood stuffing it came with. The scallops were a complete miss. We got them broiled and they were way overcooked, shriveled up and a bit chewy. The shrimp tacos were very good. Also had a fried flounder dish at the table and it was cooked well and tasted great. The steak was a miss as well, but I told my wife not to order steak from a seafood restaurant anyhow, so not points taken for that. Overall,it was a pleasant experience and the food was good. We will definitely go back. Our waitress (Brooke) was on point, attentive and pleasant to talk to. Very helpful. Give this place a try!

I live in Kentucky so fresh seafood is a must when vacationing in Florida. I have been to 2 other seafood restaurants and left mildly satisfied. This place came up on Google search, so we tried it. The Swordfish was the best fish I've had, better than what I tried in Plymouth Rock from a fresh caught place. The lobster boil platter was incredible, not sure what the shrimp was cooked it but I believe I did shed a tear. The misses got the steak and shrimp, her steak beats anything from a chain steakhouse (Texas and outback). I'm trying to decide when to visit again just to eat here. Service was on point and super friendly.

I love living here so I can get delicious fresh local seafood without going to chains. Today, it was worth driving 45 min from the westside to mayport to get my favorite crab stew in Jacksonville. Prove me wrong. There is chunks of crab in every bite I take, which is why I order the bowl vs cup. No joke, I've ordered this dozens of times, one time I simply had 2 bowls as my entree. It is packed with crab every time. Think of really good clam chowder, but with lots of crab added to it. I also had the daily special of triggerfish which was lightly fried and perfectly flaky. Ask for the pink sauce which is made in house, and no, it's not a remoulade. I prefer it vs tartar for all. Crisp crinkle fries and Debbie my attentive serve made a perfect late Friday lunch.
