How Tallahassee’s favorite
seafood market got its start
It is the Fall of 1991, two Florida State Graduates and a friend with a Commercial Fishing Boat catch more Fresh Gulf fish than they can eat. Cleaning fish at their apartment, pool side, fish carcasses in the dumpster, ticked off residents, hustling to do something with the fresh catch, an idea is born, and an opportunity is presented. Market Square has a spot open for a turn key Seafood Market, a Southern Seafood Market.

Southern seafood is the best market in the Tallahassee area. I've been a customer for many years and have had the best seafood and customer service you could ask for. Im a huge fan of the sushi grade tuna. I probably eat more than I should but I'm hooked just lithe fish was when it was caught. It always feels like you are family when you walk through the door. Thanks Southern seafood for the great service you've provided for Tallahassee.
Southern seafood is the most amazing place in Tallahassee for fresh right out of the ocean seafood. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I've been going there for 4 years now since being here I always get greeted by name when I walk through the door. The owner always makes sure he has the best quality seafood, soups, and gumbo (he personally makes) available at all times. The added bonus is it's always stocked with any and all seasonings and supplies needed to cook anything you're planning on cooking!!!
Southern seafood is a Tallahassee establishment. The family that owns the business are wonderful human beings and pillars in the community. We are lucky to have a place like southern seafood in Tallahassee. We wouldn’t buy seafood anywhere else. What a great place.
I have been to other markets, hands down southern seafood is by far the best,
. Now, if they could have the nail lady at spears seafood to join the team.
It couldn't be a better market
I’ve been in twice now, and although some reviewers suggested otherwise, I have received very good service both times. Looking for something beyond shrimp and snapper, we’ve tried their (Scottish) salmon, rainbow trout, and corvina. All were excellent! Looking forward to the next “try”.
