I never would have guessed that the most delightful seafood of our SW Florida trip would be purchased in a place at an outdoor mall. But that's exactly what happened at JFC. For lunch, the offerings were plentiful, as were the selections of fresh and frozen seafood to take home. I had a lobster roll and slaw, Therese H. a GF clam chowder and red-snapper, broccoli, and rice meal. $5 house wine! For later, we took home fresh scallops and shrimp, on ice. It's worth mentioning that this place passes my seafood sniff test. No off smells present, just the sweet smell of fresh seafood. Thanks, JFC, for a weekday lunch, this was excellent. read more

Fantastic seafood varieties. Cooked to perfection to dine in or take out. Will be returning often to try different items. The pricing is very reasonable also. read more

I change my review to 4 stars because I was wrong about the size of the ceviche served.

Great grouper sandwich. Very fresh. They actually gave us a sample of smoked white fish dip. It was a 10 *. Great behind the counter service the lady had a big personality. Very clean establishment. Try the sandwich read more

Had a mixed experience there. Although a bit pricey, the lobster roll was very fresh and tasty. However, we were a bit disappointed with the clam chowder; while it had plenty of clam and tasted good, it was lumpy and cold when served. It seemed like it had been refrigerated or frozen, then microwaved. The counter staff was very friendly. The place has a simple charm, but smells like a seafood market, which it is. read more

Our first time and will definitely be going back!! Food was excellent!! We happened to be there for a Wonderful happy hour and atmosphere was great!! Our waitress Maureen was attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable!! Made our first experience great!! We will be back! read more

The lobster roll was 5/5 but price was 3/5. $23 for a lobster roll was pricy. Prior to arriving, I saw a photo of the menu that showed $18/roll. I was spoiled for a birthday lunch, so it was excused for the day. :) My mom and I each ordered the hot lobster roll with butter. It was incredible. The roll itself was buttered, pressed, and toasted. Meanwhile, it was stuffed with chunks of warm, buttery lobster. I'm salivating just writing about it... I wish I was kidding. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant screams old florida fish market. It's quaint and wholesome. I'm not sure if they increase their prices on the weekends or according to market prices, but I'll return when I'm back in town. Thanks! read more

Joe's Fresh Catch - Coconut Point Mall - Hot lobster rolls... so good. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Estero, Florida

Would NOT suggest this place by any means. The only nice part was the staff and owner was kind. I didn't have it in my heart to tell him the price and quantity is horrendous. Bill was $58 for a small lobster roll, cup of soup and burned coconut shrimp ($2.50 EACH for a water and CAN of soda). The lobster roll tasted fine but my goodness was not worth the money. The cup of "lobster bisque" was closer to tomato basil soup than any kind of lobster bisque I've ever had. . The coconut shrimp were legit burned- my toddler was not a fan. She did like the side of crunchy, dry rice... They get a star for service, but I wouldn't come back. read more

Joe's Fresh Catch - Coconut Point Mall - Tiny lobster roll and dry rice. - Seafood Markets Near Me - Estero, Florida

I ordered a "grilled" grouper sandwich. Served on a small potato roll - it was steaming hot, (like it was microwaved) not grilled, and it had zero flavor. Even with the tartar sauce I asked for. The side was a small serving of "homemade" slaw. They have cold cases of various seafood and soups and dips. I did not try any of that. Lunch with a can of $5 Miller Lite came to close to $30. I made a big mistake by coming here (staying a nearby hotel) & I didn't finish my sandwich. The music that is blaring is Christian rock. No offense to Christians but it's not loved by everyone and it was nauseating. read more

My first visit. The fishes in trudge looked very fresh but I didn't want to cook. So I ordered a house salad with shrimp to go. Salad was very meager. A couple of pieces, very small, tomato and yellow pepper. The shrimps were limp and poorly seasoned. A bit disappointed. Two canned sodas brought my bill to $26 and change. I will be more cautious on my next visit. Joe was nice. The inside reminded me of a combo shop in Panama City. I wish you a better 1st visit. See you there maybe. read more

Fantastic seafood and friendly service. Very fresh and high quality. Scallops and triple tail are my favorites.

Delicious, fresh seafood. Love their selection, especially the stone crab, lobster tails and scallops. Fast and friendly service.

Absolutely unbelievable seafood, at reasonable prices! Fresh Maine lobster, shell fish, stuffed lobster rolls (Maine Lobster!), chowder, everything I've had is incredible. You can also order raw fish to make your favorite dish at home... really cool casual restaurant on the inside too. Met the owner (Joe) - he was a lobsterman in Maine and is incredibly skilled in the kitchen, and knows his stuff... Highly recommend their food! read more

Fresh seafood nice inside set up very quiet. Everything is made fresh and they have fresh seafood and shrimp especially looks wonderful. read more

The food was amazing!! We had miso sea bass and grouper sandwiches. We have been in Naples/Bonita for the season and this meal was hands down the best! Very busy night but servers (Kimberly) were great and attentive to our needs... definitely on our list for repeat visit. You won't regret! read more

Mediocre at best Ordered grouper sandwich Fish was just so so - undercook a little which is better than over I guess Needs salt- none on tables Coke slaw was rough chop cabbage with no seasoning - very bland Eclectic seating - means it looks like went to Goodwill for the furnishings If you get the chance to go - pass it up read more

Joe's Fresh Catch established their presence in the Coconut Point Farmers Market and Promenade Market for 5 years. They finally decided to setup their permanent store between Five Guys and Moe's Southwest Grill at a space formerly occupied by a Subways franchise at Coconut Point This shop is only 6 weeks old. The owner is still busy setup their inside table arrangement and working on ambiance. It is work in progress. The wall is full of artworks by Joe's wife. They are a seafood market and sell seafood by the pound, salmon, swordfish, snapper, hog fish, haddock, cod, stone crab claws, shrimps, etc. They are building the ready to eat with lobster BLT, lobster roll, Shrimp Po Boy, Tacos, Quiche, chowder and Quesadillas. The menu is on the wall and no printed menu is available yet! On Sunday, only the fish market is open. There is lunch menu and it is changing depending on availability. You can check their Facebook for any special seafood offering. The seafood in display case looks very fresh and appealing. I opted to have a lobster roll with coleslaw. They served the lobster with potato roll and full of lobster meat from the claw and lightly coated with mayo. It is simple and delicious! Definitely will be back! Grouper, shrimp Po Boy, ... read more

Fantastic grouper sandwich! Grilled and lightly blackened, dressed with all the veggies and on a soft potato roll, we had choice of multiple sauces. The tartar was perfect! Comes with a side of slaw or chips, the slaw tastes like my Mom's homemade...delish! A $5 glass of pinot Grigio made it the perfect lunch. read more

My wife and I came here @ lunchtime. It was our first time in the area. We loved this place, the friendly and very attentive hospitality and the super fresh grilled seafood. We enjoyed the soft piano music in the background. read more

If airline pilots are willing to spend more than $8 for something, you knows it got to be good. This place is DELICIOUS! I really liked the fish tacos(usually not a fan) and the crab cake was meaty and tasty, finished off in an air fryer making it just slightly "lighter" tasting, but so good!!! The prices are reasonable, but I don't know if I've had more VALUE for the money. Really well done food. I highly recommend this place!!! read more

Meh, pretty decent taste but the value isn't there. Ordered a shrimp Po' Boy at $16 expected a decently hefty sandwich, but was 6 or 7 small shrimps sauteed with old bay ON A HOT DOG BUN. Claim Chowder - Great, tons of claims but $12 Shrimp Tacos - 2 tacos for around $14, just nothing special Sides were either potato chips or a small cole slaw. $60 bucks with tip (counter service too) - nah won't be back. read more

Delish. Haven't had a bump in the road yet and we've been shopping here for 5 months. The selection is good and the fish are fresh. We are particularly picky about our scallops having lived on a nj barrier island that sells scallops off the boats. Cooked some from Joe's last night and they were succulent. Please try this place. It's a gem. read more

No fuss, no pretense, just good seafood and nice folks providing great service. Had the shrimp Po Boy which was made with grilled shrimp on a soft but not soggy roll. Excellent New England clam chowder with lots of clams and no bacon. I especially like the comfy chairs at the tables in the eating area. read more

Joe's Fresh Catch - Coconut Point Mall - Dining area - Seafood Markets Near Me - Estero, Florida

Read about Joes Fresh Catch from a local food blogger. So we were in the area and wanted to stop by and see what they have. The owner Angie was there and was so gracious to give us the history of how Joes Fresh Catch started. They are life long fisherman from Maine and have been doing the local farmers markets around town for 5 plus years. So this is their first store front. They have taken over the old subway at Coconut Point. We really just wanted to see the seafood selection but since we got talking to the owner and she gave us the history about them being lifelong lobstering from Maine we had to try the lobster roll. The lobster roll is on a potato roll with very fresh lobster and they only use Claw-Knuckle meat with light mayo simple, fresh and full of goodness. If you're in the area try out this new local establishment. read more

This place cares about fresh seafood freshly prepared. Joe is there! He's making the food! So good I don't want people to know about it but that's not fair. Love this place! read more

This storefront business is a combination seafood shop and restaurant. There are a few tables but if word gets out they will outgrow their space. We had lunch, the lobster roll and shrimp poboy. I have never had a better lobster roll and the clam chowder was outstanding with lots of clams and not a lot of other 'stuff'. The service was great; informative and courteous. The ambiance is bistro style and you would be remiss if you passed them by. read more

Had a grouper sandwich and hot lobster roll. Both were excellent. Simple, fresh seafood. They have a handful of beers on tap. Got a slice of lobster quiche from their to go case and it was delicious next day. Great for a quick bite - can dine in or take to go. Has tables inside and outside. read more

Very well cared for by its owner. The food was fresh and delicious, we will definitely return. Very casual ambiance. Good music

What a find! Unassuming seafood shop/restaurant in a quiet part of Coconut Point. Tried the shrimp po boy which was very tasty, perfectly cooked shrimp served in a hot dog bun similar to lobster rolls with a nice sauce. Gumbo also well constructed with nice spice, shrimp and sausage. Will definitely come back for seafood, which looked fresh and was fairly priced. read more

Staff was so friendly and food delicious. Not a standard restaurant...eclectic, order at the counter market/restaurant but very comfortable and great menu. Pull beers out of a cooler type place! read more
