I stumbled onto a lil hidden gem in the Tampa area for you fresh-seafood buyers it's named "Ocean…read moreLobster Key West" Seafood Market. After searching for fresh seafood in the retail/wholesale category on the Internet this little gem came up. The place was a classic hole in the wall find. When I got to the plaza, didn't see the name of the market so I asked around and found out it was around back of the building. I walked in one of the first things that I noticed was the place was neat, and I didn't notice that classic "seafood smell " we all know about. The two owners were very gracious and showed me around. I called prior to coming there and ask them for fresh whole grouper, snapper and lobster tails. Upon arriving, the owners proceeded to open up freezer cabinets and showed me an abundance of snapper and grouper varieties in the whole fish category. Looking at the eyes of the fish, you could tell they were super fresh, just the way us seafood buyers like them. I did have them fillet, scale, and butterfly some of my fish while I was there. I also purchased pre- frozen lobster tails had them the next night for dinner absolutely So tasty.. Here is my pro tip of the day : The afternoon I was there, I saw the sign they had a GROUPER FISH SANDWICH with fries and a drink for $10. (The only thing I'm missing is a picture). You cannot get fresh grouper w/ lettuce, tomato, and onion (on a bun toasted) with fries and drink for $10 ANYWHERE I KNOW OF (ask them for a bit of the homemade spicy hot sauce) tell them Jeff P. sent you "thank me later".

The woman answering the phone was very pleasant, and told me they did, then without me even asking, went and checked the price per pound. Since $30 seems to be the going price for a pound of mediums this year (2021), I headed out. I never would have found the place if it weren't for my navigation system. I still went past it, then had to circle back. Inside was clean and bright, and surprisingly, not fishy-smelling. You order whatever you want at the counter, which is backed by boxes and boxes of frozen seafood, apparently for those who want large quantities, or restaurants. I was served promptly, and the man was very helpful. They were also well stocked on items you would need to cook seafood, like seasonings, etc. Check-out was easy, and the woman was even like - oh, are you the one who called? They have their own parking lot, but it's a bit beat up, and people seem to park every which way. There is a food truck in the parking lot which cooks up fresh seafood, and seafood boils. My game plan is to try that option next visit.

While there is parking around the market, it can be a bit of a hassle if there are already 3-4 people shopping. Upon entering, I interacted with the server to discuss different chicken options.

The quality of the meat was excellent, and I appreciated the reasonable prices. Being a family-owned business, Heights Meat Market is a great place to buy premium meats.
