Where to Find Fresh Seafood on Florida’s Gulf Coast

One of the best parts of vacationing on the Florida Gulf Coast is the access to freshly caught seafood. Stay at one of our vacation rentals in Franklin or Gulf County and find mouthwatering Gulf Coast seafood at local restaurants and markets. Try oysters and shrimp caught right here in Apalachicola Bay or fresh grouper and redfish from the Gulf. Have someone else do the cooking for you or prepare fresh fish in your Cape & Coast vacation rental kitchen. No matter which community you are staying in, fresh Florida seafood is just around the corner: 

Florida Gulf Coast Seafood Restaurants

Dine on fresh local catches at dozens of seafood restaurants along Florida’s Gulf Coast. Try oysters, shrimp, and blue crab caught in Apalachicola Bay or grouper, redfish, and trout caught from the Gulf. Check out the seafood restaurants in the cities of Cape San Blas, Port St. Joe, Mexico Beach, St. George Island, and Apalachicola: 


Florida Seafood Markets

If you are interested in making your own dinner, consider stopping at a local seafood market. These markets sell seafood caught directly in our waters by local fishermen; it doesn’t get much fresher than that. Pick up fresh grouper, snapper, triple tail, flounder, yellowfin tuna, shrimp, and oysters. Bring your fish back to your vacation rental and prepare a seafood feast together: 


Fishing Charters on Florida’s Forgotten Coast 

One of the best ways to get fresh seafood is to catch it yourself. Sign up for a fishing charter and let a local captain take you to the best spots inshore or offshore. There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of getting out on the water, feeling the tug on the line, and reeling in your own catch. Reel in a legendary flounder, redfish, grouper, or amberjack and have your captain clean it for you at the end of the trip. All that’s left is for you to cook the day’s catch:
