This retail outlet is more like a wholesale outlet. The quality of everything they sell is excellent. And their prices are insanely low for the quality. They have a huge selection of every protein known to man. From fish, seafood, every type of meat, and some specialty items, this is the place. Since they are fish mongers, prepare for that smell when you walk in. That just means everything is fresh. Also, bring cash, besides a check, cash is all they take. I think they have an ATM, but bring cash just in case. This is a completely different experience but worth the quality and price. And they have a giant chalk board with their offerings and prices. They are definitely one of those places where you come in for one thing and leave with a bag full of fresh goodies. I don't think I have ever spent less than $100. Worth it! Good job team. read more

Great team, great service, friendly, fast, good selection, they know your name when you walk in and greet you with a smile. We go there for various seafood items, just for dinner and or if we need food to cook for large parties! Easy to call ahead and they will have your order ready. read more

Stopped in today, first time in the store, purchased the scallops and oysters. Oh my, the scallops were nice size and delicious! On to the oysters tomorrow. read more

The clams are hit or miss. This is the second batch That I have gotten that smell like ammonia . I steamed them to prepare for clam chowder. I will be dumping the chowder along with the clams. I should have returned them after opening the bag. Ask to smell them before you leave the store.I will never return there again. read more

Been a few times, the place never looks clean. No excuse for that. You cannot see the fish before you but it. 0 ambiance or friendliness.

Visiting the area and I needed seafood to cook for dinner. Found this place and took a shot. From the moment I walked in -the service was amazing. I had a ton of questions since I was new and the level of patience was amazing. The quality of the lobster and shrimp are top notch and very fresh. We took the managers recommendation and got the crab cakes.!! And let me tell YOUUU -I can't say enough about how amazing they were. If you're in the area. We highly recommend this spot. read more

First of all the service is outstanding! I've only bought seafood and I can tell you it is fresh and reasonably priced! They will even steam them or crack them if you need. Now that I've written this I have to go over there and get crab claws, read more

I went there a few times the service was excellent watch selection of seafood. Their whole lobsters are very fresh. They only take cash so keep that in mind they do have a cash machine on the premises. read more

Always friendly. Always a good selection. Reasonable prices. So glad they are within driving distance.

This place has so many options to choose from, and everything we purchased was super fresh. When we walked in we were greeted immediately and were well taken care of from that point on. Keep in mind that this is a CASH ONLY established, but there's an ATM inside if you don't have cash on you. read more

Great customer service!! Great variety of seafood!! Reasonable prices !! Friendly staff!! read more

Felt like I found a place people Only find out by word of mouth. This place clearly puts quality above the rest because my whole red snapper (easily 3 pounds) looked like it was swimming right before I got there , they have a bigger selection than any grocery store and I'll say probably more than other fisheries in the area too. You could probably try something new once a week for a year and still have something you haven't tried. Last but not least when you're in the waiting room it feels like ur at ur local dock waiting for the boats to come in great place just good vibes with good people all looking for good seafood 10/10 highly recommend read more

Have gone here several times and enjoyed what I bought. Today was a total disappointment. I bought 2 pounds of Nee England steamers that cost over $20. I get them home. They stink and only 4 are alive. I also bought Red Royal shrimp. Coming from Fl I thought they would be fresh, but they were frozen. Won't be going back. read more

Been there many times and never disappointed. Cod and Salmon always great and they accommodate our request removing the skin and cut up in 6 oz pieces. The DON'T accept credit cards only cash or check. They do have a ATM Machine. read more

Fresh fresh fresh. Love this place...fast friendly service, too! My go to for fish and shrimp

Always fresh seafood every thing you would ever want at a good price I recommend to other seafood lovers

Great selection. Excellent friendly service. Very local and the variety of choices is huge.

I've been buying my seafood here over 10 years. I gave the new guys just down the road a shot two months ago and even Green Turtle when they were in business. Not even close. There really isn't a better place for price, quality and service than these guys. You just don't get any better. read more

Courteous and Kind Owners. The fish is fresh, cleaned well and cut the way you requested for the Owners to cut them. The fish is always tasting so good and fresh after I cook them! read more

Got to test out my knife skills with making Salmon & Tuna Sashimi for the first time at home with the best ingredients I could find at Direct Seafood Outlet. The absolute FRESHEST and most buttery fish I've ever had too. Some big and juicy Snow Crab on the side with eel sauce, garlic butter and wasabi soy sauce. The service was quick, friendly and has some great recommendations! Be sure to take cash, but if not, they have an ATM inside. The menu is HUGE! So many fresh and raw meats and seafoods to choose from in any amount you choose. You can't make a bad decision here and the prices can't be beat either. Seafood especially can break the bank, however, this place will give you a damn good reason to want to make dinner at home. read more

Well worth the stop! Jerry is the best as he runs a smooth and seamless operation. He has the process down to a fault. Very clear each day as you read the eraser board what fresh fish is available and the going price. Service is fast and efficient. The store has options for quick additions like homemade crab cakes (delicious) and most anything you need to add flavor to your meal. The cash only option can cause a delay for those who always use credit cards, but there is an ATM on site. Jerry is among the best of owner operators. I enjoy talking NFL football with him. He would be a good odds maker in another life! read more

Great product, great prices, and great people. Lots of fresh and local fish along with fresh fish shipped in from up north. Only place I will by fresh seafood. read more

10/10 fantastic service. They helped us with choosing how much to purchase per person. They were knowledgeable about exactly what cuts they had available and there the product was from. BE PREPARED AS IT IS CA$H ONLY. read more

Bought 50 piece little neck and 50 piece top neck, threw out half the bag of little necks. Twenty out of fifty clams were open and dead on arrival home that day. Box was iced properly and there was plenty of ice in the box. Following day threw out another ten little necks. Top neck were excellent and fresh as expected. We do not blame the front desk for the back room employees but the packer should have known not to give us dead clams. It was pretty obvious that they were dead by the smell and that the clams were open. The front desk did not acknowledge the problem and offer any recourse or offer to make good on the next visit. Recommend if you buy clams check them before leaving. The front desk and back room is not on their game for customer satisfaction. Moe read more

Spent a lot of money here to buy a huge once a year special seafood meal for my family in town. One by one shortly after dinner my family of 6 started to ALL fall dangerously ill off the supposedly "fresh" fish. I have to say worst food poising Ive personally ever experienced in my 54 years of life coming from a knowledgable fisherman who grew up on seafood. Ruined the rest of our family vacation, living in the bathroom and not leaving our beds side to get through the miserable next few days. The only family member who did not get sick was the one who opted out of the fish and only ate the lobster. Shame on you Direct Seafood for selling any old contaminated bacteria filled fish. Beware The fish filets didn't look or smell old and were cleaned & cooked properly. Would never risk my family's health by buying from here ever again. read more

What a great find! I drove from St. Cloud to get some fresh seafood. I want to start right away with the reason for four and not five stars. Like others have mentioned, when you order, they go to the back and pick up and pack your seafood choices. I like to point and pick, as did the lady in front of me. It just seems odd that you can't see it before purchasing. With that being said, we bought a fair amount and it was all fresh and tasty, and would go there again. There were quite a few people there buying seafood, so it has a following, I wouldn't hesitate to go again. read more

It's hard to find fresh oysters anymore. You can find them here, along with everything else. It's all sushi quality.

Great staff very helpful and knowledgeable. This is such a fun experience. The selection of both fresh and frozen seafood is outstanding. Don't let the "Seafood" in their name fool you they also offer a very diverse and exotic selection of other proteins. All selections are listed on a huge menu posted on a wiper board on the sales floor. The selections don't stop there. They also offer a wide range of spices, sauces and batters to support meal prep. As of my last visit, all transactions must be paid in cash. They do have a ATM on site which does offer some flexibility. read more

WAIT till you see their selections written on the wall!!! It's crazy how they provide so many options..... be there soon!!!!!

My GoTO place for all seafood. Friendly service, quality product and a wide variety of domestic and exotic seafoods and meats. Best baby-back ribs anywhere. read more

No nonsense place with an engaged, personable owner. We picked up 100 little necks and a nice piece of wahoo for a decent price and it was super fresh. I bought 100 clams and after cleaning and inspection I didn't have any that were not usable. Packed with ice and a complimentary lemon! We need them in Vero too but I'm willing to make the drive. read more

best place to get your seaf00d. reasonable priced with excellent quality. with fast execution of your order

CASH only! But as good as it can get. Truly the best and highlight of my visit here to Cocoa Beach. I have also attached some pricing that they have posted on the board. Truly a "Gem" spot for locals and tourist that wants to enjoy some fresh seafood! Seriously they even have snow crab legs for $8 a pound ! Like who could beat that! Seriously such a wonderful place. I got some crab cakes 2 for 10 dollars and grilled them. Also got some XL scallops and they were delicious ~ and the oyster were outstanding as well! Superbly a great place to just stop in and prep your own seafood feast ! read more

The selection of seafood here is great. You're greeted by the huge menu right when you walk in - they have mostly everything. I was specifically looking to buy mussels and Yelp brought me to this place where I was surprised by the giant list of clams / mussels available. At about $4/lb, the black mussels are average price. They're not the cheapest I've ever seen but they're also not too expensive (mussel prices for me range about $2-$8 per pound depending on where I am in the United States.) I was interested to see that they had Green Lip Mussels on the menu that they sell in two pound increments - I made sure to pick some of those up too. The Green Lip Mussels are more expensive than the black mussels and are imported from Europe. They come frozen in a small box so they're definitely not too fresh if you're looking for something fresh caught. The interior is plain with a few goods to complement your seafood meal (breadcrumbs, rice, sauces, etc.). It seems a bit old with outdated carpet and a small wooden bench. You place your order with the man at the counter and he asks his coworkers in the back to bring it to you. I would have liked to see the selection of seafood but they were all in the back. I recommend calling the front desk ahead of time to see if they carry what you're looking for - I'm not sure how much of each item they keep in stock but the guy at the front is helpful in telling you what there is. I was really disappointed to see that some of my mussels have gone bad. They gave me the mussels in a brown bag and I didn't open them until I got home. When I opened it at home about 25% of my mussels were already open, which means they were dead. We checked the mussels immediately after we got home (we didn't accidentally kill them ourselves, they were dead at the store) and had to discard the ones that stayed open even after we tapped on them. What a waste of food and money! I wonder how many people come here to buy meats other than seafood. They have a huge selection of duck, chicken, veal, pork, etc. but I wonder if those sell. If they shortened their menu and put a little more effort into selling seafood that hasn't gone bad, I would've appreciated it a lot more. This place does not accept card - only cash and check. If you're thinking about buying a lot of seafood at one time this can be a bit of a hassle. I was lucky enough to have some money on me. There is an ATM inside the store if you forget cash. However, it might require a small fee. read more

If you need fresh or frozen seafood... or any kind of meat- DSO is your place. Jerry is super helpful and friendly and always helps me decide what type of fish and how much I need to buy. His wife is adorable when she has to man the shop and all of his workers get the job done quickly! Best crab cakes ever! It smells fishy when you walk in- but for heaven sakes - what do you expect?! Let's me know it's actually real seafood and not something else. read more

About a month ago, I was trying to get Maryland Style crabs. So, I went on Cameron Seafood site. I ordered two dozen extra-large crabs and they actually sent me small-medium crabs. We were highly disappointed with our order. Yes, they reimbursed me after I complained on their website. So, I did my research and decided to look locally. I did my research and inquired as to the size of crabs who were available. I was intrigued when I was told of the sizes that were available. I was so excited, The staff were very friendly and greeted me with the biggest smile. When I felt the weight of the bag, I knew that I was going to experience something different. When I got home and pulled out the crabs, I was shocked!! They were so big and full of meat throughout!! I was thinking, "I've got to share the good news with Direct Seafood Outlet!! Thank you for the crabs which were so delicious, and it took two days for me to eat them!! I'm looking forward to my next order as well!! so delicious!!!!!! read more

We entered this place through the front door of what looks to be a cottage. There was no fish laid out for us to see or anything that resembled a retail outlet. We asked about fish that they do have for sale and there is a list on the board with prices that are similar to those you find in a grocery store. No bargains. I think I prefer to see. Fish laid out for my review before I start picking from a list on a board. read more

The spot to grab your fresh seafood. Wonderful fresh fish selection, as well as oysters, shrimp, crab, scallops, clams and more. Knowledgeable team is helpful. They also have the basics for preparing if needed - spices and such. We picked up fresh shrimp and fish for a dinner at home. Perfect. Will be back! read more

This place... is the bomb. Best clam chowder i ever had. Best SMOKED FISH DIP i ever had. Every time i come down here to visit, im taking a pit stop here. Prices are reasonable. Btw you should buy the "frozen chunks" of fish. Its very cheap and usually are chunks of fish as big as 0.4 pounds read more
