Found this place near the north end of AMI when looking for some fresh seafood on a Sunday to cook at our rental. Just an old style little screened in porch. The couple running the place were a Hoot while taking our order and explaining what they had to offer and how to prepare it. We purchased smoked fish dip, ceviche, some shrimp and a beautiful Grouper filet. We prepared the fish in a foil pan on the grill per her instructions and it was outstanding! read more

What a big disappointment! We ordered the ceviche, and it tasted absolutely terrible. The flavors were off, the texture wasn't right, and it was nothing like what you'd expect for the price. Honestly, save your $30 and try another place--you'll have a much better experience anywhere else. read more

Dude was rude...made fun of us because we had never been to Anna Maria Island before. Also mocked our question about whether they have steamed shrimp. Order through a screen which is beyond weird. Other options so won't be back. read more

The Shack is Back! When we stay on AMI, we always visit Captain Anthony's as fish simply does not get fresher than this. I was worried they might not be there after the hurricanes, but they are back. Yesterday, I got a pound of grouper, a pound of red snapper, and two pounds of large (huge) gulf shrimp. They gave me a great (simple!) recipe for cooking on the grill and everything came out delicious. My mother in law doesn't even eat shrimp and she loved it! Great fish, even better people! read more

We got a lb of grouper and Captain Anthony's Signature dip. Both were to die for and extremely fresh!!! Wish I had a picture of the dip but it was so good we ate it before I could get a picture. So fresh and very delicious. I got to order from captain anthony himself & had wonderful conversations with a local himself that was a true captain. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Capt Anthonys Seafood - Grouper - Seafood Markets Near Me - Anna Maria, Florida

First stop every year once we make it to the island. Smoked Fish Dip and Ceviche are top recommendations!

We were down in Anna Maria Florida and had to get some fresh stone crab (love it) and located this tiny shack near the beach that sell amazingly fresh seafood. It's not much to look at just a tiny screen building with one employee inside. You don't even go in but instead interact through the screen. We picked up 4 lbs of crab claws (they recommended 1 lb per person-was a bit over but not much). We also got some of their house made mustard sauce as well as cocktail sauce. Additionally we got a tub of their fish dip which we enjoyed out on the water with friends in a boat with crackers (really good). That evening we feasted on succulent crab with some fresh French bread and a hearty salad. A meal fit for a king! Large claws were $30/lb so not a cheap dinner but such a nice way to finish a day in the sun. (By the way a nice French Chablis is an excellent pairing) read more

Luckily we found stone crab while at Anna Maria Island! What a great place for fresh stone crabs and seafood. They also offer fishing charters. We wanted stone crab on our last night and Captain Anthony's was closed and they opened up for us on a Monday when they are normally closed. We were so appreciative of their hospitality! The fresh stone crabs were amazing. It is a must try if you are on Anna Maria Island read more

Ordered some grouper to broil at the house. Very fresh and very tasty. Staff very friendly and helpful. Not muck to look at but definitely worth the visit. read more

So glad I stopped by this hidden gem before heading back to the city. I will be back for crab season and I can't wait. Captain Anthony is a man of the sea and will tell you how to cook your fresh seafood selection. All the guys were friendly and shared any information about different catches. If you blink you may miss it which makes it the best & freshest seafood like all good hidden gems in Anna Maria/Holmes Beach/Bradenton Beach area. Keep in mind you are buying the best of the freshest. If you can pay for less fresh seafood at Whole Foods or any of those fancy places then do not blink to pay for these fresh catches! I'm from a family of trollers and fisherman. Fuel, upkeep, equipment isn't cheap so support local and get fresher, better quality than what you pay for at the grocery stores which may have sat on a boat for 2 weeks, then frozen so it can be shipped which can equate to seafood that is 2-4 weeks preserved...hopefully. I'm just saying, "you get what you pay for"! read more

Found this small business while checking out Sandbar. Line drew my attention. Next day went back and got fresh red snapper. Woman who helped us gave us a pan and detailed instructions how to prepare. Snapper was delicious and with her instructions, cooked perfectly. read more

This place is filthy! The owners are rude and crass and the to to go prepared meals are cooked in unsanitary pots and conditions. I want to like them bc they are local flavor, but, ick!! Go to Walt's, Island Seafood Market, or Cortez for fresh fish - this place is dank! read more

Convenience is the name of this place. Our shrimp purchase was 15-20 count @ $25 per pound. Same product can never bought for $10 less a Publix and have less freezer burn. Not impressed like fellow reviews. read more

Just had their Stone Crab Bisque for lunch - Amazing! Definitely a must stop if your in the area. Joann and Anthony are great people that operate a top notch establishment! Do yourself a favor and stop by this great fish market!! read more

Best seafood dip I've ever had - fresh and not too smoky. They even have crackers to go with it. The stone crab claws we got were also delicious with the mustard sauce they sell. The shrimp they have is sold frozen which I assume is for freshness. read more

This has to be hands down the best smoke fish dip I have ever had in my life! so worth the 2 hr drive! Don't go anywhere else!

Yikes - opens at 10 per their sign, but owner and wife chewed us out when we arrived at 10:05 and asked when they would be open. Just looking for when we should come back. But will skip it now. read more

Crazy....I will go somewhere else. Just stopped by and heard the owner/employee giving someone a hard time for asking nicely when they will open. And then a lady came out yelling they will open in 20 minutes. Life is too short for this nonsense. read more

Stumbled onto this hidden gem with an amazing owner who's husband catches all the fish/seafood so she only has what he catches (super fresh)! We were making dinner for my parents at our rental house and the grouper and shrimp were the best I've ever had. Owner gave us some amazing seasoning and told us how to cook the grouper on the grill and it turned out great. Please visit them and give them your business. You won't be sorry! read more

Great quality fresh food- a little pricey- but I went back for the fish dip, shrimp and grouper.....so

The absolute freshest fish you will ever eat, Capt Anthony is the best at what he does. He's been fishing 49yrs and is a legend around here. Ask about the commercial experience and go fish with him, a trip of a lifetime read more

Exceptionally fresh fish and super friendly service. Worth every penny. You can't buy this in the store. Anthony, Cole and Matt!!!

Incredible. Only word for it. Their dayboat brings back fresh fish caught that day, not 4 days ago like other fishing boats that sell to the island. Had an amazing red snapper yesterday and picked up yellow grouper to grill tonight. Don't miss the mango salsa and smoked fish dip! read more

Bar None, the best and freshest seafood in Florida! It's the first place I go on AMI to load up on huge crab claws, red snapper and grouper. My family loves Joann's famous ceviche and fish dip. This is the islands MVP!! read more

We've stopped by twice already to buy whole red snapper and they have the freshest seafood we have ever purchased in the USA - talk about less than 24 hr, caught-off-the-gulf fresh! We got some vegetables off of the community garden in Anna Maria, which was free by the way, to make soup with the fish and fried some parts as well. Met Capt. Anthony this morning; really nice guy. Could not have asked for a better source for seafood on the island! read more

Excellent place for fresh caught seafood. During my stay I purchased red snapper, grouper, shrimp, and their smoked fish dip. The people here are excellent and willing to share their fishing experiences and advice on how to prepare the fish you purchase. Best fish I have eaten. read more

Stone crab claws, ceviche and smoked fish dip....soooo good! Thank you! I wanted to take some home but sold out,
