If you need fresh or frozen seafood... or any kind of meat- DSO is your place. Jerry is super helpful and friendly and always helps me decide what type of fish and how much I need to buy. His wife is adorable when she has to man the shop and all of his workers get the job done quickly! Best crab cakes ever! It smells fishy when you walk in- but for heaven sakes - what do you expect?! Let's me know it's actually real seafood and not something else. read more

We entered this place through the front door of what looks to be a cottage. There was no fish laid out for us to see or anything that resembled a retail outlet. We asked about fish that they do have for sale and there is a list on the board with prices that are similar to those you find in a grocery store. No bargains. I think I prefer to see. Fish laid out for my review before I start picking from a list on a board. read more

best place to get your seaf00d. reasonable priced with excellent quality. with fast execution of your order

About a month ago, I was trying to get Maryland Style crabs. So, I went on Cameron Seafood site. I ordered two dozen extra-large crabs and they actually sent me small-medium crabs. We were highly disappointed with our order. Yes, they reimbursed me after I complained on their website. So, I did my research and decided to look locally. I did my research and inquired as to the size of crabs who were available. I was intrigued when I was told of the sizes that were available. I was so excited, The staff were very friendly and greeted me with the biggest smile. When I felt the weight of the bag, I knew that I was going to experience something different. When I got home and pulled out the crabs, I was shocked!! They were so big and full of meat throughout!! I was thinking, "I've got to share the good news with Direct Seafood Outlet!! Thank you for the crabs which were so delicious, and it took two days for me to eat them!! I'm looking forward to my next order as well!! so delicious!!!!!! read more

Their fish tastes so good! So much better than the grocery stores! Great customer service. Of course it smells like a fresh fish store; it IS a fresh fish store. read more

Always super helpful, and great prices. My wife is in here 2 or 3 times a month, and Jerry and crew always take great care of her. Any time she has a question about any of their products, they give her straight, honest answers. All you have to do is ask. Always great quality seafood, as well as beef, chicken, pork and some specialty meats. read more

The selection, quality and freshness of the seafood was excellent! I purchased hogfish, sea scallops and lump crabmeat. The staff were friendly and helpful. As they advertise heavily, it is a cash only business so be prepared. read more

We have been going to Direct Seafood for years and they have the best seafood in town. Everything we have gotten has always been phenomenal, and Jerry and his wife are very knowledgeable about all types of seafood and they and the rest of the staff are always friendly and helpful. The only place we go to for our seafood. They also have a wide variety of meats. read more

Been going to Jerry for over 7 yrs for the freshest seafood around. They are the hardest working people and provides so many varieties of seafood as well as specialty meats: Never been disappointed. read more

Bought conch to make conch chowder and it was delicious! They have pretty much anything you need there. The place was crowded with people so it must be good! We will be back for future seafood needs. read more

I really don't know what to make of this place, its unique, that is for sure! The challenge is trying to figure out the menu on the wall, how to order and decoding some of the buzzwords. Don't believe me, look at the web site, which looks like it was written by some kid in his basement 20 years ago. Forgot HTML or CSS standards! But I digress. You don't get to see anything before you order it. You are standing in sort of an office, and a guy sitting in chair scribbles your order and hands it into the mysterious back room. Then your order comes out and you pay (cash). Now, we played it safe and ordered some grouper, which is usually pretty good in Florida. We were not disappointed. It was very well packed to keep it cool on the home. Spectacular fish. I guess I would like to try other stuff, but I'd need to figure out what is fresh, it all can't be. And they have all sorts of strange meats, I won't even go there, not for me . Worth a try! read more

I went to Direct Seafood the other day and picked up some jumbo scallops and some rock shrimp. We cooked them last night. They were so tasty everyone was eaten before I could get a picture. Such a huge selection of seafood, meat and wild game. I will definitely come back to this gem. Cash or check only but they have an ATM on site, so, it's a non issue. read more

Go here! Great place! Choices, prices, anything your little heart desires... including steaks! But, go here for seafood!!! drop the mike...

Just everything great. Prices competitive. Fun place to go. Top quality food Would always go back read more

You're know you're in the right place when you smell fish! Amazing selection of fresh or frozen fish & meats to choose from. The fresh cod & scallops we ordered were fresh & excellent.

Direct Seafood Outlet - Delicious fresh cod dinner! - Seafood Markets Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

See all

First time there was happy to have found a new source for our sea food that is fresh and reasonably priced. we purchased Real Maine lobsters and they were delicious. Personnel were frendly. Don't expect a big display of product because they primarily sell wholesale. They do provide you with an extensive list of their product inventory so you can prepare ahead on future visits or call to see if they have what you're looking for as we did. Be advised they accept cash, checks, but no plastic. However, for your convenience they do have their own ATM. I highly recommend this hidden gem. You won't regret it or the quality of their products. read more

Great selection of seafood! Easy ordering process and everything I've ever bought has been fresh and great tasting! Easy in and out location! Great customer service! read more

This has been our Seafood place for years and get amazing stuff from here. They are always willing to help and offer advise and even have samples sometimes. They have lots of other meats too. Beef, chicken, bison and other. Huge selection. read more

We weren't sure they were open because the building is very unassuming, but we were glad to discover that they were indeed open. They have a board on the wall on which they list their products. We ordered fresh mahi and fresh tuna. The mahi was the best I have ever had, very sweet and it melted in our mouths. The tuna was a thin slice so I was afraid I might over cook it, but I didn't. It also was delicious and so soft. They give you a lemon to accompany your fish which was a nice touch. The shop also carries some supplies you might need to cook with, which was an added bonus. They only accept cash or checks, but there is an ATM in the store. read more

Tuna I bought was very fresh but was upset that no employees were wearing face coverings in a very small place where social distancing is impossible. Most patrons were wearing masks but employees clearly did not care. Won't be back until pandemic is a thing of the past. Don't want to ruin their rating numbers so giving 5 stars for fresh fish and that they were friendly but if you have any COVID concerns this would be an uncomfortable place for you to be. read more

Always fresh food, great service, and friendly. My only go to place for seafood!

Bought 10 lbs of Royal Reds Shrimp. Always fresh and great tasting.Being going there for 5 years.

Ordered three 1 1/2 lobsters steamed. They were absolutely delicious ! We are from Maine and these were as good or better than we get up there. read more

Don't know if finding this place was a blessing or a curse. We are now on a first name basis with Jerry, the owner and are in the store one to three times a week. I signed up for their daily email, so I know daily what their fresh catch is and the price. I can call and have them put my quantity aside so when I go later in the day, I have what I want. Hogfish snapper (new favorite), clams, steamers, mussels and blue crabs all excellent ( exception of once when 15 out of 100 clams were dead). I have also ordered items not normally carried - whole fresh branzino, veal sweetbreads. I have tried their veal osso bucco (frozen and excellent), pheasant breasts (by the piece), lobster head meat (frozen 1# picked packages). Prices are good, in my opinion. Yes, some fish is expensive, but if you go to the port to get it at the seafood market, it is 1-1/2 times the price. And if you purchase the fish prepared at a restaurant, it is 2-3 times the price. I have not yet tried their fresh beef but heard a customer telling Jerry that the tenderloin he had gotten was the best he ever had. And the fresh sea scallops (dry and huge) were THE BEST we have ever gotten, including while we were in Europe. The flash frozen scallops are good, but if you can get the fresh, OMG. Thanks Jerry and staff.... read more

BUYER BEWARE!! WARNING!!! Was in town visiting my daughter when I came to seafood direct and spent 200$ for a special family seafood dinner. Wahoo, Tuna, flounder, shrimp, and lobster. Not even 4 hours after dinner the entire family was horribly sick. It felt like a bad movie one by one they all started to fall. Worst food poisoning I Personally have ever had in 55 years and I eat and grew up around a lot of seafood. The only family member would did not get sick was the one who only ate lobster and shrimp. They say it's fresh fish but there's no way. It ruined the last of our family vacation together. we lost two days sleeping and not far from the rest room. I've been here before but this will be my last time. I wanted to go back and demand for a refund on the fish that's how upset I was to see my family in agony but I was too weak myself and knew they wouldn't honor this. Now I see why they only do a cash business. It's Not right how they are selling and feeding people old contaminated seafood!! read more

I go here for my YouTube videos and they have the best seafood I have had around this area. The lobsters are also amazing. Super sweet! The guy always shows me the seafood to make sure it is ok before I buy it! Also they only accept cash here but they have an atm inside. Try this place u will not be disappointed! read more

Extremely large selection of mainly fresh (some frozen) options. I've only bought seafood, but there apparently are plenty of meat choices as well. Without exception, every filet that I've purchased has been incredibly fresh and tasty and 100% edible (ie zero bones/skin). I always call ahead so the order is waiting for me when I arrive. I couldn't live without this place! read more

Hard to find better than this for quality and diversity of menu. A true gem and our go-to.

It's expensive but that's just the way the bad economy teacher. These people are great OK good care of you but I have to pass a hike off onto you. read more

Best seafood in Brevard County hands down. Very affordable prices and seafood is always top-notch quality. This is my "honey hole" to all my friends who think I'm some sort of expert fisherman. If wanting to spend less, explore "clippings" from the type of meat you're interested in. One time I was in their Hog Snapper clippings were selling at $5 per pound! I also use the grouper clippings for fish tacos or fish nuggets. Great local establishment. read more

Direct Seafood Outlet - Florida lobster tails - Seafood Markets Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

After reading all of the great reviews, I had to check this place out because I was really excited to get some good seafood. I stepped inside and saw that not a single employee was wearing a mask, even the people in the back packaging up all of the meat. It's such a tiny enclosed area and this business isn't doing anything to follow CDC guidelines besides put a glass partition between the employee checking you out, which still doesn't cover them fully. There's not even a "masks required" sign. You would think that after being in a pandemic for over a year, in a state that has rising numbers, that businesses would want to help stop the spread. However, it's clear that people just care more about making money than they do about their community and the people who help keep their company alive. The easiest thing that Americans can do is to wear a mask to prevent spreading a deadly virus. Especially in the food industry. Won't be returning even after the pandemic. Such a shame. read more

OUTSTANDING!!!! Our order consisted of lobster, grouper and little neck clams.... The grouper remains to be eaten, but as New Englanders, this lobster rates in the top percent of the sweet and delicious factor. We also just devoured the 50 little necks and were equally impressed.... this place has literally hundreds of seafood and meat options... Best find since we bought our Melbourne Beach condo five years ago! Priced very fairly to say the least.... THANK YOU! read more

Amazing place. There is nothing like it in Florida. Fantastic concept and good is soo fresh.

Good people and good quality. Masks are not required! Customers and employees will stand next to you without masks.

This place is unreal for anyone who enjoys cooking. It's on a different level even for fish places around here. And the selection is unlike anything I've ever seen. read more

Direct Seafood Outlet - If heaven had a fish place... - Seafood Markets Near Me - Melbourne, Florida

Haven't been in a long while. Takes cash or checks NO CC OR debit cards. Walked in and walked out Smelled awful!!! Red snapper $16.95 a lb seriously??? Went to pubilx and got orange roughy frozen. Not going back. Know Pete for a long time but can sell fish when the store smells fishy read more

I am so happy I found this place!!! We only came for snow crab legs but saw they had New England Steamers so we just HAD to order a few pounds. Those are hard to find down south! They were super fresh and had full bellies. This will always be my to go place next time I am in town! **also, double check the price you pay. They use tape machines to add up your total price and may accidentally forget to clear previous transactions.** Not a deal breaker for me. They fixed it for me right away. read more

Jerry and his crew are amazing! This is a fun and friendly business that I frequent at about every 2 weeks or less to stock up and the seafood is very good - I am quite picky coming from San Francisco. My favorites are the Scottish Salmon, Scallops and Snow Crab Legs. Of course I have eaten many other tasty items that are also of high quality - this is my go to seafood shop and the prices are reasonable. I have tried seafood from around at different places and it doesn't come close to the quality at Direct Seafood. If they weren't here, I would not be eating much seafood since I haven't been able to find quality outside of this place and I won't eat it if it isn't really good. This place gets packed on weekends and is out of control on holidays - its that good. The good news about that is that means the fish is always fresh! The stuff is flying out the door... I'm so glad when Jerry took this business over that he stayed committed to high quality seafood. He is great business man and his employees are so nice, very customer service oriented. I love this place. P.S. crab claws are tasty too. read more

I grew up in Melbourne, FL and was back for the holidays looking for a source of sushi-grade raw fish when I stumbled onto this place. First off, the sheer quantity and variety of meat and fish they carry is astounding. I wish I still lived nearby so I could come back and try some of the seafood I never had a source for before. Second, the owner and staff are nice and efficient. I came in here around 11am on Christmas Day, arguably one of the worst times to be shopping for food besides Thanksgiving, and, while the place was packed, I was in and out in less than 15-20 minutes. I hadn't even called ahead with my order which would have made the wait even shorter. This place is all around impressive. TIP: They only take cash so bring some with you or make sure you have a debit/ATM card as they do have an ATM inside that you can use. read more

Quite simply the best seafood and beef outlet in Brevard County, hands down. I have enjoyed shrimp, filet and grouper so far, but of course will be trying everything eventually. Friends and I cooked the fish and meat on a grill, served with a selection of Australian wines; everyone felt like we were eating five star food. And we were. Direct Seafood Outler supplies the quality restaurants and specialty shops such as The Green Turtle around these parts. read more
