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.
Proudly offering popular local and national brands

I was looking forward going to Southern Seafood. Everything there is always fresh and my favorite. Today we bought clams,
King Crab plus three kinds of fish.
BEST oysters around!! We live in Taylor County and traveled to Tally last minute, called this place & asked how much a bushel was. VERY pleased with the service and the most salty oysters!
