Seafood Market South Florida?
Hey everyone,
Could you please help me find a respectable seafood market in the South Florida area that has sushi quality fish? I live in Boca Raton, but I would be willing to drive 30 minutes north or south.
I usually go to Whole Foods, but there stuff is pretty run-of-the-mill and I hate how they cut the tuna in steaks instead of loin pieces for searing. I've also been dying to find some head on shrimp, langosteens, prawns, or exotic crustaceans.
Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Folks on this board have mentioned the wonderful ROYAL RED SHRIMP at various times.
FYI just saw a FB post, they are in fresh today at this market up in North Palm Beach (almost Jupiter):
Cod and Capers Seafood
Royal Red Shrimp
Fernandina Beach $12.95 / lb
60-80 Peeled and DeveinedI have not yet had these Royal Reds. However, they almost sounds just like the tiny shrimp they get in Maine in the winter briefly.
I had them a few years ago - mind-boggling. I am not ashamed to admit I actually started eating some raw as I could not even wait for them to cook!
It was barely even necessary.

My wife picked up some ahi tuna that I did as a BBQ tune tataki- best ever! Though she did complain about having to wear a hairnet, and she was wearing flip-flops, which was a mistake.
Having this great seafood source right around the corner, I thought it might be a good idea to go sustainable rather than just available. Monterey Bay Aquarium puts out a pocket guide on the best seafood to get: http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/cr...
Makes it easy to be green!

If you want a Great Seafood Place in Boca go to Dixie Seafood, its on Dixie Highway between hidden valley and Yamato, They get their fish fresh every morning. They take special orders as well. Been there for a long time. Very clean, and Always very good seafood..
You can Also try Pop's seafood on Hillsborough East of 95 on the North side before dixie.

I would suggest you check out Captain Frank's in south Boynton Beach.
It's not cheap but not as high as W/F - and the quality is always good. I've seen W/F on occasion have mahi and other fish on display with brown bloodlines - an easy clue it's been around too long. Easy fresh fish test: Bloodlines (the reddish part going down the center line of a filet) should be red; not brown.
Frank's also has a very good selection of shellfish including Maine/PEI mussels, oysters, steamers (soft clams) and various size hard clams. Plus of course shrimp, stones, live ME lobsters and usually both live and soft-shell blue crabs.
Located on Woolbright Boulevard just a few hundred yards East of that exit off I-95, easy to get to from Boca. 561 732 3663
