We bought a pound of grouper from their clean fish market. All fresh caught fish from local fishermen. Baked in the oven this evening. I seasoned it well first with kosher salt, top, and bottom. Placed it in an oven safe dish lightly oiled. Mixed cumin, paprika(1/4 teaspoon ) and 1/2 teaspoon oregano Mixed together. Rubbed mixture on both sides. Crushed two garlic cloves and evenly spread it across the top. After a drizzle of lemon juice and two serving spoons of diced tomatoes placed in preheated oven 400 degree, middle rack for 20 minutes. Walla! delicious. CLEANEST SEAFOOD MARKET I'VE EVER SEEN! read more

Fresh & frozen and a nice selection of seafood. The shrimp were juicy plump and absolutely delicious. I'm going back for crab legs.... I'll keep yall updated read more

I don't know what happened. We used to be a weekly patron, especially for their smoked salmon. The guys that used to be there were always so welcoming and friendly but that has changed, for the worst! The guys that are there now don't even ask if you need help, they look right in your face, don't say hello and just stand there looking stupid. If you want something or have a question, you almost feel like you're ruining their day. It never used to smell like dead fish in there and now, every time we go it stinks of dead fish. The staff needs a lesson, or lessonS in customer service. Rudest bunch of clowns I've ever come across. read more

Excellent variety of fresh seafood. I purchased the large shrimp... calamari with tentacles... clams... scallops... and a mixture of fish fillets. I prepared the best seafood curry ever. Fresh is best when buying seafood. And a nice piece of smoked salmon. read more

This is the freshest seafood around. Eric and his staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Their selection is amazing too! read more

Fresh fish at exorbitant prices. Why pay so much when other stores sell equally fresh fish for less?

Bought Black Seabass to fry. Got it home and it was full of bones. Called the store and they made us come all the way back to the store to have them debone it. Wouldn't reweight it after and we're extremely rude. I hardly got any fish back. RIDICULOUS!! This fish was very expensive to be full of bones and they were filets!! They obviously don't know what they are doing. 100% WOULD NOT recommend. Dont waste your money read more

Something labeled as "Conch Chowder" was the most disgusting collection of unchewable unidentifiable mass I was forced to spit out and a day later still triggers a gag reflex yet Pelican's self described "Chef" is so proud have copied from someone. ' My apology for having good taste and having enjoyed excellent Conch chowder. When you get some put me down for a double order. Eric. I have been a fan since the beginning and I will continue to be, but the smell of bad fish lingers and I do not know any one who likes it certainly not friends. God bless read more

I tried pelican seafood before and after hurricane Mathew in 2016. The crab cakes, shrimp were both very well kept. I did not get the chance to try the fresh catch seafood or the lobster. However, I'm thinking of making another trip that direction soon, hopefully tomorrow. read more

Unbelievable. We called ahead, prior to heading out, to confirm the $13.99 per pound sale price on their lobster. We arrived, in store, 30 minutes after having confirmed the sale price of $13.99 per pound for lobster. The manager on duty, today, 12-30-2020 refused to honor the sale price, provided to us, less than 45 minutes before, claiming the sale price can end "at any time";it gets worse, that same manager then said "I can tell you were to go". I thanked him and said yes, please do let me know where it's on sale; he said no, you misunderstand "I'm telling to to get out of the store". The spineless coward was angry with me, for refusing to honor a sale price, that was confirmed, by the store, literally minutes before our arrival. The worst customer service experience I have had, in my entire life. read more

Pelican Seafood will fulfill your seafood craving. This is a butcher, not a restaurant. I went in not planning to buy anything as I was stuffed with seafood from Chuck's across the bridge. I walked around and saw the fresh salmon that was behind the glass and I had to get it. Needless to say, I was very impressed by the quality of it. Made Teriyaki Salmon out of it and the taste was very fresh. I will definitely be back to buy more seafood when my seafood crave returns! read more

I was very disappointed with the quality it was overpriced and the shrimp were not fresh.

Delicious! The Scottish Salmon was incredible. Once baked, the fork went through it like butter and tasted fantastic! Loved it and look forward to sampling everything they have to offer read more

I live 2 hours away from Pelican Seafood but it's the only one I trust. Not only do they have a "fresh off the boat" selection; but I know Eric only selects the best of the best from all of his suppliers. Once cooked, you can taste the difference. It's truly the best of the best and I'm proud to say he's the best of the best. 5 stars is not enough. If you appreciate good food, you won't be disappointed. read more

Been trading with PS for years. Always clean as a whistle... Staff is friendly and knowledgable on local catches. When Stone Crabs are in season they always have fresh claws... This is not a Seafood store to start looking for bargains in... their Grouper as an example is supplied by local divers diving off Ft Pierce diving up to 100 ft in some cases to bring back beautiful slabs of one of our favorites. If you value freshness, variety, and great service... clearly Pelican Seafood is hands down winner on the central coast of Florida. read more

First time coming here and they didn't disappoint. We were able to get snow and king crab, mahi and a crab cake! The employees were really friendly to. We will definitely be back again. read more

Pelican Seafood - Snow crab and king crab - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fort Pierce, Florida

Got to it's front door but several customers inside without masks or masks on chin! I don't want to be a statistic so, after waiting several minutes for them to leave, I left without going in. I wonder how many people who wear masks below their noses would accept surgery from a surgeon attired so. read more

I try to support small local businesses but sometimes the small business owners are not trustable and this is a perfect example. I went in 4 years ago and came out feeling I had been robbed after paying $27 a pound for smoke salmon, over all I was overcharged 50-100% for everything I bought that day. The third party smoked salmon was delicious which made the experience easier to "swallow". That said, on this Small Business Saturday I decided to give Pelican Seafood my business but it didn't take long for me to remember why I started buying my seafood elsewhere. The moment I walked in my sense of smell told me to walk out but all I wanted was a couple pounds of cooked shrimp so I figured the stench of bad fish shouldn't affect my shrimp. I asked how much for a pound and was told $28.99/lbs so based on the extra $10/lbs over other places I only bought 1 pound and left as quickly as I could. To make a long story short I am happy to support honest hardworking small business owners but I draw the line at greed and price gouging. Shameful. read more

My husband always picks up fish at Pelicans... It is always the freshest seafood here. Mahi-mahi is always delicious, salmon isfresh... scallops alwys good... yummy read more

They had quite the selection. Service was friendly. I picked up some yellowfin tuna. I will definitely come back when I'm back in town. Keep up the good work. read more

Purchased a whole Flounder, stone crabs, and crab cakes -- reasonably priced and delicious. Always fresh and highly recommended

Bought a few scallops and shrimp. Very little selection. Crazy high prices. $50/lb for jumbo scallops and $25 for jumbo shrimp. Fresh but priced too high. Cheaper in NJ. read more

Was craving fish dip and when visiting my sister we stopped here to see what they had. Two different types loved both. Priced reasonably for the area. Will be stopping by again next visit. read more

I was happy to find a seafood market in the area. A little pricey but fish looks good and fresh. Great selection of spices. I only wish they were bigger and offered more variety of seafood. read more

High quality selection & well maintained shop. Super helpful & knowledgeable counter person! Oysters were delicious & a good deal for the 1/2 box - perfect lunch for 3 oyster lovers read more

Pelican does not stand behind their product. We bought crab cakes that tasted like ammonia. When we tried to return them, they would only give us a store credit for half the cost ($12.00 a cake). Buyer beware. read more

Excellent service, and fish is always best in town. Prices are average, but you pay for what you get.

Very helpful, clean and fresh. Rare to find a fish market that checks all three of these boxes. Will be back.

This fish market is a local treasure. I've been visiting Ft. Pierce on and off for years, and I always go to Pelican for the best seafood. Yes, the prices are higher, but the quality is so worth it. In fact, I'm saving money because I am eating better than at any restaurant in Ft. Pierce or Vero Beach. I have never tasted mahi mahi, squid. snapper, flounder and pompano as good as what Pelican carries. Also, we tasted their home made soups for the first time recently and the crab/asparagus soup and conch chowder are superb - "You can't get that in a restaurant!" read more

Been coming to the area for years and buying seafood here. Consistently good selection and quality. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. This place is always at the top of our list. They just started cooking seafood baskets under the trees out front on Saturdays that are killer! $6 for snapper and grouper with fries and cole slaw!! Fresh and cheaper than you could make it at home! read more

Excellent seafood and excellent service. Expect to bring the bank. Good seafood is the filet mignon of the sea! Ouch. read more

I just drove 11 miles S of Vero Beach on the advice of a local I stopped on the street. Publix only had previously frozen shrimp and I wanted FRESH. This small seafood mkt had beautiful fish filets, whole fish, scallops and Key West shrimp, homemade crab cakes, Bahamian conch chowder and New England clam chowder plus an assortment of smoked fish dips. It will cost you but it will be worth the drive read more

On my visit they had 4 varieties of fish, none of which I wanted to purchase. They were all priced at or above 25 dollars per pound. I thought the selection was poor and the prices were extremely high. Staff should take a ride up to Port Canaveral to see how a real seafood market operates, there are 2 there that are head and shoulders better than this place. read more

Staff was friendly but the prices are exorbitant for mediocre fish. Purchased Scottish salmon at $20/lb - I live in New England and have never paid that amount for fresh salmon. Also bought 1lb of cooked shrimp which was also overpriced. The salmon was just OK for that price I expected it to be rather tasty we would have been better off buying the $10/lb salmon probably would have tasted the same. The shrimp were a $23/lb and had a bleach taste to them and the cocktail sauce was so hot it was inedible. We won't be returning to this place. read more

We only make it to Fort Pierce once or twice a year from St. Louis; however, I always look forward to stopping into Pelican Seafood to pick up the freshest fish available for our stay! Been coming for 15 years and have never been disappointed. Not only is the seafood selection fantastic, the staff is great and there are a lot of other delicious items to pick up. read more

Real deal fish market. Always has fresh locally caught fish. I often grab their homemade clam chowder for lunch. They also carry hard to find hot sauces and local Florida tortilla chips read more

The only place in town that I will buy seafood from. Sure, the prices are higher than Publix, but it is pretty obvious when you get in there that it is because you are getting what you pay for. So if quality and freshness matter to you, then this is your place. read more

One of the best markets I've ever been to. I drive down from Vero to visit Pelican Seafood regularly. All local. Prices are fair for fresh fish of superb quality. read more

Most of the seafood they provide is extremely fresh but remember you will be paying a premium for the items that they have. An example being that "fresh" salmon was in the mid to high teens per pound while going up the road to publix it was 8.99. Pretty much looked, smelled, and to the touch appeared to be the same salmon. So in the end that's where the loss of stars comes from. Yes their shrimp are fresh, wow look at the red snapper until you notice they left too much of the blood line in there until after you get it home, and ehhh I can find the same salmon, mussels, lobsters, and clams up the street for much less. There is a reason to come just make sure you are getting what you are paying for instead of just paying more. read more

Went in for salmon today (first time ever) and the price per pound was $14.95. I was aware that Publix had fresh salmon on sale for $10.99. Sales associate (owner?) Claimed they were the best but I can't afford a $4 difference when I need to buy 2lbs (totaling $8 in savings). The swordfish looked amazing but again, salmon is already a treat for me and the funds are limited. I would encourage the owner to look at local sales to have comparable prices. read more
