first time coming here and they had a great selection of fish. we came towards the end of the day so we had limited options but still had a lot. we got mussels, shrimp, and scallops. they were fresh and very sweet in flavor. they also had cake there too! so we had to indulge in those. we got the blueberry lemon and chocolate cake. the staff were friendly and professional. would definitely come again! read more

Fresh seafood steamed at the location. A few things to remember. Please make sure you get what you ordered. They did not give the corm cobs we ordered but we realized it after driving several miles away already. Also, it you choose a fillet that is too thick, make sure they cook them sufficiently. Ours were a bit undercooked. Not too bad given the freshness. They are also very friendly and nice. read more

My husband and I were craving crawfish while in Destin, so we decided to visit Sea Market, which had boiled crawfish. We called ahead, and a woman on the phone told us the crawfish would be ready in about 15 minutes. When we arrived, the place wasn't too busy, but there were a few other patrons ordering seafood. We placed an order for 2 lbs of boiled crawfish with corn, sausage, and potatoes on the side. They reheated everything, and since the potatoes needed to cook a little longer, it added about 15 more minutes to our wait. Sea Market offers an assortment of fresh seafood, and while we waited, we saw them cleaning and preparing various types of fish. When our order was finally ready, they finished it off with butter. Everything was piping hot and fresh when we received it, and we couldn't wait to get to our destination to eat. The crawfish was packed with flavor, while the corn and sausage were juicy, and the potatoes were delectable. This was our first time trying crawfish from Sea Market, and it certainly won't be our last. We thoroughly enjoyed everything! read more

I saw a sign for red snapper for $15.99 per lb as I entered so I ordered 2 lbs thinking it would be $32 plus tax. It was more like $32 per lb! The bill was $69! I was asked if I wanted the skin off without being told I would be charged about approximately $5 for 30 seconds of work removing the skin! I was also charged $1.98 for using my credit card but was not given a choice to pay cash. The fish was good quality but the way this place interacts with customers is what I would call "passive" by not providing needed information to customers. I don't recommend since they take advantage of tourists. read more

This place is amazing. We ate fresh crawfish, lionfish, clam, bluecrab, shrimp, seafood gumbo and loved everything. Highly recommend. read more

I was very excited to find this spot after Blalocks closed. The owners were super nice to talk with, and found out the husband runs his own fishing boat, which is where his fish comes from. We had Old Bay seasoning and their homemade garlic butter on our steamed order, and everything was delicious. I will be back the next time I'm in Destin! read more

Originally went to YELP to find a good fresh seafood spot while on vacation in Destin. This place didn't even pop up, but I felt compelled to submit their first post. We were on the hunt for grouper. The owner asked a couple questions and then brought out a big fresh grouper. He was going to cut fresh filets from the fish. He then realized the first one he brought out was not large enough. He went in the back and brought out a larger fish that would work for the amount we needed. He cut the fresh grouper to the amount we needed and then cut in to filet sizes for our crew of 14. Prices were better than most places we shopped and this was the only place that was literally cutting to order. It's worth the drive regardless of where you are coming from in the Destin area! read more

I walked in and was immediately greeted. The owner then took the time to describe all the offerings they had on display; which I appreciated. They had a wide variety of seafood. Given the crew we were vacationing with, I went with shrimp as a common denominator. They were some of the best I've ever prepared. Very fresh and had a slight saltiness to them naturally. Light years ahead of anything frozen. I highly recommend this husband wife team; they're great! read more

Found this little gem on a work trip where I was staying in a hotel and couldn't cook. Went for lunch to get some steamed shrimp. I found them to be VERY helpful and nice. Shrimp was excellent, so I went back for dinner! Wanted fish, and they were very patient and friendly explaining the nuances of the fish and which ones would steam best. Turns out about all of them, but I tried cobia. Outstanding!! In talking with one of the owners, turns out they are looking into opening a location in middle Tennessee!! I hope they do!! Fish was so fresh! Market was extremely clean and did not stink like a fish store!! I will be back every time I am in the area! read more

My "go to" seafood store in Destin. Fish is always top quality and staff is super friendly! John has even shared some recipes with me to help when I wanted to try something new. He even went to the back to get me some of a specific spice that I was not familiar with. read more

Some of the best quality seafood period! Went there twice and had a variety of everything (snapper, grouper, salmon, shrimps, clams, mussels, crabs) steamed with garlic butter.

We stopped in here on our visit to Destin based on the 5 star reviews and the comments that were written by previous visitors. We're so glad we did! The assortment of fish, shrimp, scallops, mussels, etc was amazing and everything was so fresh. The owner was so great to work with and she let us know about several types of fish that she didn't have room for in the case so that we were able to pick from their entire variety. We highly recommend coming here and will definitely be back! read more

The reviews have the same theme - welcoming, great variety of fish and obviously they (John and Araya - hope I have spelling right!!) love what they do. This pace is a find. We ordered shrimp (Cajun) for a grouping of 40 people - excellent. Went back for seafood to take home (9hrs drive) - packed well. Highly recommend the crab cakes. John says they sell 18K a year and now I know why. Also, try Araya's sauce - goes great with shrimp. Be careful easy to be engaged when you enter the place - and also be ready to wait as people know this place exists for great seafood. It's no longer a secret!! Related to wait - they do not push you through as a transaction. They will give you as much time as you need to ask, ask and then ask again. read more

We were surprised to discover this gem of a seafood market. First we brought home the shrimp he steamed for us and of so delicious and fresh. Went pack before heading home and John packed both shrimp and grouper for us to take back to Atlanta! It was a treat to enjoy the freshness of the sea back inland. We highly recommend this place read more

Great little Seafood Market but, with a nice variety of fresh seafood. They offer prepared items as well such as Crab cakes, which are delicious.. The store is clean! The owners are very nice, personable and helpful. They recognized me from a previous visit. They helped me choose the right size shrimp for a dish I was making for a large dinner party. Their prices are reasonable too. I highly recommend Sea Market for your fresh fish and seafood. read more

This guy is top notch! He cares about the seafood- eyes of the fish are clear and vibrant and gills are red showing just how fresh his fish is! Crawfish are just like the best in Louisiana! Very impressive! Having been a chef years ago and having bought large amounts of seafood for high end clientele in cities by the water, I know what I'm looking for and this guy speaks the same language. I was extremely impressed read more

What a welcoming, generous fish market! My husband definitely made a friend in the owner, and as someone who is so into cooking this made him so happy. The owner is a chef and would throw in some sauces and seasonings or just something to try. You can tell they love what they do and live to build connection with others. Such incredible seafood caught that morning and so reasonably priced! There are so many more things we wanted to try and we tried it twice and are thinking about tomorrow too. We are from Michigan and would be broke if we lived by here, but wouldn't be sad about it. You have lifelong customers!! read more
