I chose to build my own bowl with salmon, crab mix, edamame, carrots, cucumbers, ogo seaweed, green onions, mango, dried onions, seaweed, slivers, and sweet chili oil. I also ordered a spam musubi and Thai teak with boba. The clerk was incredibly patient and even let me sample some of the flavors before I made my final decision. Although I ordered my meal to go, I would love to dine in the next time the interior was clean, cheerful, and offered plenty of seating. When I finally tried the food, I was very impressed with both the portion size and the taste. The bowl was light, refreshing, and flavorful. Overall, it was exceptional experience.

I was immediately met with smiling faces and an offer to explain their menu as it was my first time in. I ordered a poke bowl with all the toppings and an order of their special: Kalua pork. It was too cold to eat outside, so I took the food home to share with family. Although I ordered a mixed poke bowl, it turned out there was only ahi added. However, it was the freshest tuna I've had in forever (or ever, maybe!). It brought me right back to a short time I lived on Oahu, eating plain marinated ahi before bowls were so popular! Next time I'll make sure to try the salmon. The kalua pork was equally authentic with its tender bite and smoky flavor, and it paired perfectly with the rice and mac salad. We did add a bit of Japanese bbq sauce to the meat at home, which made it a little more interesting. The portions were enormous! I shared with family and had enough pork leftover for a next-day lunch. There is no indoor seating, but because it's located at one city, there is plenty of outdoor community seating. I'll be back in better weather, to enjoy a fresh catch while watching a beach volleyball match! Before then, I may swing by to pickup one of their dinner kits with the freshest fish in Nashville.

A nice bowl with a warm rice base topped with proteins and veggies that was quite delicious including krab salad, seaweed salad, tuna and avocado. Plenty to share here that was tasty and fresh.

I especially love it when simplicity and genuine passion is served, not just presentation. Anyway, to start off - this market, and it's a market, not quite a restaurant. When my friend and I stopped in, there was one table, four chairs. Since we were there late, we were able to sit and dine in. Sitting and eating there allowed us to chat with Kojo - the owner. Learning not just about the market but his history and his passion for what he does. Switching gears again - the market is in a huge shopping plaza. Lots of parking. And free. As for the food - see the pics. Dinner pics is mixed in with what was left in the market. I can't even begin to explain how much I enjoyed the flavors of the dishes he made on the spot for us. As we were there late in the day, most of the popular dishes were sold out however, he made a few suggestions, even two that were off the menu and made it to order. When we were there, it was a one man operation. So he was also our host and server. If you couldn't tell - service was excellent. Chatting about food. About seafood. About the beginning of Gulf Port. And about life in general. This is one of those places, that if I lived there - I'd frequent the place just because of him. It's just too bad that me going there requires a plane ticket and a five or so hour flight. But, also know this - next time I fly into Nashville, I'll make my way to Hermitage and have more delicious, fresh seafood.

**April 2025: Saturday Evening Visit**…read more My friend and I wanted to eat somewhere in the Hermitage area since that's where we were staying and Gulf Port Seafood had really high ratings, which were 100% well deserved. I should preface this by saying that Gulf Port is a seafood market first and that they have one table (4 chairs) so you can dine-in - but space is limited. Kojo, the restaurant owner, has both raw and hot options for patrons to enjoy. We came pretty late on a Saturday so many of his popular items (gumbo and lobster roll) were sold out, but we decide to try his other offerings which were delicious. We ordered the 2 orders of Cajun Crawfish Roll (methinks $15?), Seafood Mac & Cheese (methinks $20?) and Shrimp and Grits ($20? maybe) and all were made to order and brought to our table in a timely manner. The Cajun Crawfish Rolls came out first (I guess one order is given two rolls) and we demolished it. The toasted bun had a nice char, but was fluffy on the inside and the cajun sauce gave the crawfish nice flavor. We devoured this and were really impressed with the item. Next the Seafood Mac and Cheese came our as well as the shrimp and grits. The Mac and Cheese had such a great blend of cheeses and the noodles were cooked al dente. The grits on the shrimp and grits were scrumptious - not mushy at all and the shrimp was cooked through. Everything tasted very comforting and the prices are very reasonable! Overall, this was definitely a highlight meal of my Southern States travels and the next time I'm back in Nashville I hope to try the gumbo and lobster roll!
