Their happy hour is one of the best deals in Tampa. The $1 oysters are huge, super fresh, and so tasty The $5 shrimp tacos might be the best tacos I've ever had.

If you're looking for amazing seafood, great drinks, and a chill neighborhood spot, Trophy Fish is a Seminole Heights standout. For food, the fish was incredibly fresh. Simple, flavorful, and done right. If you're picky about seafood, this is the place that will convert you. Portions are solid, prices are fair, and everything tastes like it came straight off a boat. Service is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it's honestly one of the easiest places to hang out for a few hours without realizing how much time has passed. If you're in the area and want fresh fish + great cocktails, Trophy Fish is definitely worth the stop.

This seafood restaurant is pretty close to Tampa International Airport and minutes away from all major beaches. It is far from glamor and glory of the other places in Tampa, but man, the food here is incredible. Continue reading to find out... Located on the corner of W Cleveland Street & S Dale Marbry Highway, in the Bon Air Neighborhood, Shells Seafood is very easy to get to. A talk sign that towers over the restaurant can be seen from hundreds of feet away while driving; it's hard to miss the sign. Plenty of parking in the stalls on the property as well as neighborhood parking and local stores adjacent parking spots. Once inside, you are greeted by the cute looking host at the nicely decorated front reception. She seats you immediately to a an open floor spacing with two sides of seating and a centralized semi-circle bar area. There are roughly over 30 tables and plenty of room to accommodate small to larger. The cajun boil here is fabulous! Loved every minute of it. Will be visiting again ... maybe not during the hurricane seasons. :)

We weren't too crazy because the fried are coated and the hush puppies were way over cooked with a weird batter/dough that reminded mea lot of an undercooked corn bread. Yes, the dark brown spheres on the bottom of the plate were hushpuppies. Service was excellent with the waiter checking in on us and refilling drinks. That might have been easier because we were late in coming in for lunch, so it wasn't really crowded. I imagine that during a busy dinner service, it's probably pretty loud, but here it was just a nice quite cafe feel. The big takeaway - the seafood was excellent. It was fresh, hot, well cooked. But the sides seem to fall down, nothing except the slaw was something I want again. So come for the seafood, but lower your expectations for the slaw.
