Hookin' Ain't Easy... and neither is deciding what to order!…read more This hidden gem is proof that great seafood doesn't need fancy table service. You order at the food truck, grab a picnic table under the trees, and wait while everything is cooked fresh. The sign says, "Be patient. Be kind." Trust me, it's worth both. The smoked wahoo dip disappeared embarrassingly fast. Creamy, smoky, and packed with flavor. The blackened grouper sandwich was the star of the show. Perfectly seasoned, flaky, moist, and piled high on toasted bread with fresh toppings. The soft shell crab sandwich was crispy, sweet, and one of those meals that requires extra napkins and zero shame. Even the roasted broccoli was charred just right. Come for the seafood. Stay for the quirky atmosphere. Leave wondering why you've waited so long to eat here.

Casual! Whole fried snapper! Fried Wahoo! Local fish! Full menu, full bar…read more Hookin' Aint Easy Seafood Company is a cool house converted into a fish market and patio with a food truck and a bar with chairs with backs. There's plenty of umbrellaed tables and picnic tables. They have a full menu of apps, seafood, and burgers. Their whole fried snapper is one of our favorite fish, and Hookin' serves a generous serving, perfectly tender and sweet, in a light crispy layer of coating, on a regular soft bun, with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Their Fried Wahoo is also well-prepared. We got fried, and it was tender and fresh. Both fish came with a heaping serving of hot crispy fries. You could also get either fish blackened, and you could add various veggies as sides. We ordered our food and also picked it up ourselves at the bar. Hookin' can get crowded, especially when they have a live musician, and parking can get pretty tight. It's just off I-275 at 22nd St, in St. Pete Fl east of Gulfport. They keep their social media pretty up-to-date, but we didn't track down a "regular" webpage.

Unbeatable prices for delicious LIVE blue crabs! My family and I are huge seafood fans and it broke…read moremy heart when my favorite Cajun crab place closed shop post-pandemic. My mom and I were on the hunt for a new place and let me tell you, this place fills the void. I was always under the impression that blue crabs were hard to come by here in Tampa Bay so it came as a surprise to me when my mom saw they were selling it this late in the year. She came across a random Facebook ad after Googling places for over a month. The people are super responsive on social media and helped my mom when she went in person to order. There is an option to have your order cooked at the place or bought fresh. We dont live closeby but are always up to make the drive. They have a nice special for live blue crabs: buy one dozen, get one free, so we decided to just boil our own batch at home and enjoy it with our own sides! The crabs were very clean and the small was not even that small! We have gone back on three separate occasions and were able to request female crabs 2 of the 3 times. We are happy customers and hope they continue supplying blue crabs.

It's doesn't look like much from the outside, but is definitely worth the stop…read more My wife and I split the large spicy garlic crabs with potatoes, corn, and sausage. I added 6 shrimp. The total came to about $25 and was an excellent value in terms of food for money. The flavor of the Cajun seasoning was a party for my taste buds. Seriously good eats that you can't find everywhere. They are takeout only. Crab is a little messy to eat and I didn't have a cracker, so if I came here again, I'd get the shrimp. The shrimp were good sized and super fresh. My corn was overcooked, but still flavorful. The lady who took my order was friendly and they were quick at preparing it. Pro tip- I ordered spicy garlic. There are multiple levels of heat, but I would suggest going 1 level less than you normally would. I tend to like spicy foods and would not have wanted it much spicier. My lips (and even my hands from cracking the crabs) have a slight tingle to them. This isn't a fancy place and could use an exterior makeover, but it earned a solid 5 stars from me because of the bold flavors and quality of the seafood.

They tasted old, almost like they had been sitting for a while and were refried before being served. That's just my assumption, but that's honestly how they came across. What really brought this down to a 3-star review for me was the service. The cashier genuinely seemed like she did not want to be there. No hello, no welcome, barely any interaction at all. When I walked up, she looked at me like I was bothering her and almost seemed to roll her eyes. While I was waiting for my food, there was zero communication, and when it was ready she just stood there silently until I looked up. No "thank you," no "have a nice day," nothing. She just turned around and walked away. The restaurant itself was clean and in a great location, and the food honestly is good for the price. If you can look past that one customer service experience, the food is definitely worth trying. I really do hope whatever she's dealing with gets better, because nobody acts like that for no reason.
