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.

Supplying fresh seafood
to the region's best restaurants
It’s not just the locals that love our seafood. The finest restaurants in the area look to Southern Seafood for fresh out of the gulf fish, shrimp, crab and other favorites. Our trucks have been delivering to restaurants in Tallahassee and the entire region for more than two decades.
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”.
Great Fresh Seafood locally caught in the Gulf. The best Alaskan Salmon that we have ever tasted, beautiful color, tastes fresh and is perfect in any recipe. We have been shopping here for twenty-five years and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend this seafood store.
