Gainesville Seafood Market Eatery

We decided to stop by and grab some seafood to cook at home, and we were blown away by the quality at this place. The sea scallops and wild caught shrimp were incredibly fresh and delicious, and the prices were a great deal (the wild caught shrimp were as good as what we've bought in Florida for $14.99 per pound). The shrimp ceviche was also excellent, even better than what we've had in coastal Mexico. We also purchased a beautiful whole red snapper that they expertly fileted for us. We were pleasantly surprised to be offered samples of their clam chowder and seafood gumbo, both of which were amazing, and we ended up taking home some of the clam chowder. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and to top it off, there's a charming Salvadorian bakery next door. We will definitely be coming back!

I give this restaurant a perfect score of 10 out of 10! I ordered the catfish and the portion size was massive. I also purchased hush puppies and lobster bisque to take home.

I was highly impressed with this restaurant. The place was very clean, the seafood was incredibly fresh, and the meal we had was absolutely delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and the atmosphere was very comfortable.

The food and service was excellent! I will definitely come back.

Don’t miss sublime seafood! From the outside it seems like any seafood market but tucked away in the back is the counter to order and a few tables. They were handing out small taster cups of NE clam chowder and lobster bisque – very good and not your typical thick soups. The enticement worked and we ordered a bowl of lobster bisque which had nice chunks of lobster. The mussels in garlic butter was so good that it had all of us fighting for the mussels and the bread to dip it in! Large tasty shucked oysters which included several fresh lemon slices, cocktail sauce and horseradish sauce. The medium sized scallops and large portion of grilled salmon were perfectly cooked. Solid grouper tacos. The large portion of fried flounder was bland but that might be more the flounder’s fault – and at our request they switched out the French fries for red potatoes. Hush puppies were very good if you’re into them. A few weeks later we returned and placed an order to go. We loved the mussels in garlic butter and scallops so much we ordered it again. This time we ordered a bowl of NE clam chowder and grilled grouper. We again were very full and happy.
