Came with family and had excellent service from Anthony and Tony. The New England clam chowder, shrimp pasta, seafood pasta, and crispy shrimp (lightly battered) were all delicious. Loved that I could swap the slaw for pasta--nice surprise! Hope to return much sooner next time.

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. :)

After watching Mike Chen's Tampa Bay edition, we had to try this place and it was worth the 40…read moreminute drive. Cute Little Place in a nice neighborhood with plenty of outdoor seating. Since it was a little humid outside, we opted to sit inside with the AC. Here's what we ordered: I have their new coconut crusted grouper sandwich style with onion rings. The beer battered onion rings was also a good compliment to the sandwich and the batter was so light. We also had their lobster corndog with fries. These two entrées that we ordered are a must try when you visit this place. The service was pretty quick. They got a little busy towards the end, but the food comes very quickly hardly any wait at all! So if you're in the mood for some local seafood bites and you're in the ballast point Tampa Bay area this place is a must try. Highly recommend.

BIG RAYS FISH CAMP!!…read more BRFC- great name. Don't know what a fish camp is but I'm about it. Walked in after a long day in the sun, hoping for the best outcome. And boy did I get it. I was with a party of 9. Front of house was short staffed (one line soldier) she knocked out our orders with speed and efficiency and then started bussin down tables, allowing us to move tables together and all. Heck yeah. Food showed up in waves (made the fish feel at home) and lemme tell you a secret. That fish landed infront of me...I didn't look up, head down and dialed in. Perfect harmony of ingredients. I wouldn't change a thing. Great fries too. Big Ray and your fish camp, take a bow son. Do a victory lap. You deserve every one of your flowers. You can do no wrong in my eyes.

The food is just as good. I love their lobster roll and the fish tacos, both are always solid and hit the spot every time. Perfect spot if you want something low key with great views and good food.

Leon's Lobstah Shack is located off Interbay next to Ballast Point Park Kids playground with pretty…read moreviews of the water and the fishing pier, south of Bayshore in South Tampa. You have to place your order at a register and they bring your food out to the table overlooking the water. There is patio seating and indoor seating. The tables are metal w a blue rubber. Not uncomfortable but not particularly comfortable either. The place is casual, low frills, and does not offer table service. However, the sunsets over the water are super pretty here and the string lighting is pretty. The LOADED LOBSTER BISQUE came with creamy bisque with a hint of sherry wine and extra loaded with lots of lobstah meat. 10/10 LEONS "FAMOUS" LOBSTAH ROLL served Hot comes with old bay and butter. If Served Cold, it comes with house mayo blend, fresh citrus and old bay. I opted for hot and it was very tasty. 10/10 LEONS PO BOY came with crispy shrimp with house slaw, sweet & spicy pickles, and our scratch made remoulade. 8/10 BANG SHRIMP TACOS came with crispy shrimp with siracha mayo, sweet thai chili, house slaw, and red pepper flakes on 3 flour tortillas and a side of potato chips. The tacos were tasty but chips side was disappointing. It Would have been better with real chips and salsa. 8/10 FISH N CHIPS came with crispy northern cod fried golden brown and served with tartar sauce and leons house-made remoulade. Very tasty fresh and juicy. 9/10 LEONS CRISPY SHRIMP BASKET came with a dozen jumbo shrimp served with cocktail and leons' house made. The shrimp was surprisingly juicy and tasty. The remolded sauce was tasty as well. 9/10 If you're looking for a casual seafood spot with a pretty sunset water view in South Tampa south of Bayshore, definitely try out Leon's Lobstah Shack!

I was expecting it to be a decent sized restaurant. I was mistaken. It was very small. It reminded me of an old Chinese food restaurant. The 4 booths that were there to eat in house were either taken or just not cleaned yet. We decided to take our food to go. They had a special for boil combos B & C for $39.99. That is what we decided to get. The food smelled so good from the ride home, to when we opened it. We dumped all of the contents into a huge bowl. It was decent sized portions. The dummy crab seasoning was garlicky and delicious!! There was so much seafood. We couldn't finish it all that night. We did have the rest for dinner the next night. It was still so tasty!! The best part about it was that neither of us got sick the next day. We were worried. Previously we both got sick on a seafood boil from a different restaurant. This was also in a different state. Needless to say, we will be getting seafood from dummy Crabby again!!

However, any doubts we had vanished the second we stepped through the door. Here is why Mr. & Mrs. Crab gets an easy 5 stars from us: Warm Welcome: We were greeted immediately by the incredibly friendly bartender, who seated us right away. Fantastic Service: Our server was super helpful, and honestly, everyone on the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Outstanding Food: The food was phenomenal--perfectly seasoned, fresh, and delicious. A quick word of advice for future diners: Learn from my stubbornness and wear the bib! I refused to wear mine and completely ruined my T-shirt... and it was still 1000% worth it.

Ulele is officially one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa! I honestly can't believe it took me…read morethree years to find it. ‍ Located right on the river, Ulele has an incredible atmosphere. The outdoor space is beautiful and relaxing, while the inside is just as comfortable and inviting. And it's not just a restaurant--it's also a brewery! We had the pleasure of meeting the head brewmaster, Tim, who comes from three generations of brewers. He was classically trained in the Reinheitsgebot tradition and spent about 20 minutes talking with us about the passion, craftsmanship, and attention to detail he puts into creating their beers. It was such a cool experience! And the food... absolutely incredible. Jose ordered the chili--which I swear had an entire zoo in it! We also shared the ribs, and they were phenomenal. Also, very reasonably priced. If you're visiting Tampa, Ulele needs to be on your list! Great food, great beer, beautiful scenery, and an experience that makes you want to come back.

After searching for fresh seafood in the retail/wholesale category on the Internet this little gem came up. The place was a classic hole in the wall find. When I got to the plaza, didn't see the name of the market so I asked around and found out it was around back of the building. I walked in one of the first things that I noticed was the place was neat, and I didn't notice that classic "seafood smell " we all know about. The two owners were very gracious and showed me around. I called prior to coming there and ask them for fresh whole grouper, snapper and lobster tails. Upon arriving, the owners proceeded to open up freezer cabinets and showed me an abundance of snapper and grouper varieties in the whole fish category. Looking at the eyes of the fish, you could tell they were super fresh, just the way us seafood buyers like them. I did have them fillet, scale, and butterfly some of my fish while I was there. I also purchased pre- frozen lobster tails had them the next night for dinner absolutely So tasty.. Here is my pro tip of the day : The afternoon I was there, I saw the sign they had a GROUPER FISH SANDWICH with fries and a drink for $10. (The only thing I'm missing is a picture). You cannot get fresh grouper w/ lettuce, tomato, and onion (on a bun toasted) with fries and drink for $10 ANYWHERE I KNOW OF (ask them for a bit of the homemade spicy hot sauce) tell them Jeff P. sent you "thank me later".
