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.

Beautiful murals and quirky decor are located throughout this outdoor restaurant. They have a gorgeous bar inside by the bathrooms if you need to get out of the heat.

Some chefs build their menus around what distributors have available. Chef Jason Ruhe builds his…read morearound what comes off the boats. Spend a few minutes talking with Jason and you quickly realize that this isn't marketing copy - it's simply how he lives. He does a lot of fishing himself, works closely with local fishermen and trusted fishmongers, and starts with whole fish that are broken down in-house every day. Almost every fish served at Sea Worthy was swimming earlier that same day. We began with the Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Salad was both colorful and satisfying. There's nothing like the earthiness of fresh beets. They paired beautifully with creamy goat cheese, while grapefruit added bright citrus notes that kept everything lively. Candied pecans contributed a welcome crunch, and the honey beet dressing tied the ingredients together without overwhelming the freshness of the seasonal greens. A drizzle of basil oil added another layer of flavor and visual appeal. Salads often go overlooked. Don't make that mistake here. The Seasonal Burrata with Compressed Watermelon was another excellent starter. Creamy burrata is always a favorite, but the compressed watermelon elevated the dish with its concentrated sweetness and firmer texture. Pickled fennel and asparagus added acidity and crunch, while the balsamic reduction and basil oil brought everything into balance. Fresh mint completed a dish that tasted every bit as vibrant as it looked. The Tenderloin Tostadas proved that Sea Worthy is more than just a seafood destination. Crispy corn tortillas supported tender marinated beef, roasted tomatillo salsa, avocado, chipotle aioli, and pickled red onion. Every bite delivered contrasting textures along with smoky, creamy, tangy, and savory flavors. The Seared Octopus was beautifully prepared, achieving that elusive texture that's tender without the slightest hint of rubberiness. It rested atop a hearty cassoulet of white beans, chorizo, and braised kale that contributed smoky richness while allowing the octopus to remain the star of the plate. Then came the dish that perfectly captures what Sea Worthy is all about. The Rainbow Runner Crudo showcased fish so fresh that very few restaurants could hope to duplicate the experience. The delicate fish was dressed with coconut and lime, accompanied by a green pepper and tomatillo purée, avocado, toasted pistachios, saffron oil, basil oil, and salsa matcha. The result was bright, refreshing, layered, and endlessly interesting, with each component contributing something different without masking the clean flavor of the fish. It's the kind of dish you remember long after dinner is over. For entrées, the Steamed Maine Lobster Tail & House Made Pasta featured wide ribbons of fresh pappardelle tossed in a turmeric cream sauce with shallots, white wine, fresh herbs, and chorizo. The lobster was perfectly cooked, while the chorizo contributed subtle spice that prevented the rich cream sauce from becoming too heavy. Toasted baguette made sure none of the sauce went to waste. The Seared Chili Lime Pork Chop once again demonstrated that Jason's talents extend well beyond seafood. The generously sized bone-in chop was served with smashed fingerling potatoes, braised chard, and an ancho chili demi-glace that added depth without overwhelming the pork. The Black Grouper was another standout. Blackened to develop a wonderful smoky crust while remaining moist and flaky inside, it was accompanied by smashed fingerlings, crispy fried kale, and a vibrant red pepper chimichurri that complemented rather than competed with the fish. This is another one that was just swimming in the waters right outside the restaurant. Sea Worthy has matured into exactly the kind of neighborhood restaurant every waterfront community hopes for. It's casual enough for a spontaneous dinner after a day on the water, yet the level of cooking consistently exceeds expectations.

The tater tots were the best side by far, it is not a usual tater tot that you think, it is a fried potato wedge coated in this buttery garlic combo that will truly knock your socks off! I would drive an hour just to taste that savory glory again. Let's get on to the mains now, I got the salad with grilled/blackened chicken and the shallot vin dressing and side of fries. My fiancé got the BBQ Blackened chicken sandwich with fries. Everything came out hot and fresh. The mayo and cajun seasoned dipping sauce was incredible for the fries. The salad was perfectly crisp and flavorful. One of the best salad dressings I have ever had! The drinks were equally as amazing. We got If you like pina coladas and Gone Fishin for our beverages. I personally loved Gone Fishin the best because it was perfectly balanced flavor wise and would get again. Both tasted like a tropical paradise. The Key Lime Pie was great as well so tart and fresh!

I ordered…read morethe fish and chips for $22 and was surprised to get two pieces of fish that were about the size of chicken tenders, with what felt like 80% of the plate being fries. The fish tasted good, but I expected a lot more for the price. On the bright side, the frozen espresso martini was absolutely bomb and was easily my favorite part of the meal. Definitely recommend getting one if you stop by! Unfortunately, the dine-in experience left a lot to be desired. Our waiter seemed completely disinterested in being there and had a pretty bad attitude throughout the meal, which made the service feel uncomfortable. Maybe we just caught him on an off day, but it definitely impacted the overall experience. If I were to come back, I'd probably just get takeout and skip the dine-in experience. The food and drinks are worth trying, but the portions and service could definitely use some improvement.

What we got: *Mango Meltdown - A frozen drink of mango and strawberry flavors, so refreshing on a warm day at a waterfront restaurant! *Category 5 Crab Tots - neither of us really eat tater tots, but this menu item sounded too good to pass up. I'm glad we went with it because it was hearty and flavorful with all the tots, cheese, and lots of crab! *Crab Cakes - really good crab cakes, with plenty of crab. *Twisted Cauliflower - our server warned us these would be spicy, but we were okay with that. They definitely had a kick from thai sauce and hot honey, but nothing that made it uncomfortable to eat, the right amount of spice. We had ours grilled, and enjoyed every bite. Needless to say, we ordered a fantastic meal of appetizers to split while enjoying the waterfront view on a beautiful day. If you are in the area, I highly recommend!
