This poll was take on the Florida Sportsman Forum. Below if some helpful information on what seafood restaurants to avoid with the advice coming from local Florida fisherman.


Since we're having the poll for the best seafood restaurants in Florida, I thought we should also have a poll for the worst seafood restaurants as well.

I went to Joe's Crab Shack in Sanford. Once.

Some additional highlights:


Captain's Galley in Ft Pierce

Don't know if they are even still there. Horrible food, terrible service. One tiny little speck of conch in the chowder.
Went back a second time figuring any place can have an off day. Same crappy food, service was worse but the piece of conch in the chowder was almost as big as an M&M. I told the waitress to 86 the chowder since the piece the chef tied to the bottom of the pot broke loose and wound up in my bowl.

Florida's dirty little secret.

I would estimate that bad seafood restaurants outnumber good seafood restaurants 4 or 5 to one in Florida. We don't have a single good one in Gainesville.
