    Red Snapper
    Hanna C.

    I'm late in posting this review, but if your undecided about which seafood market to visit in Destin, you can't go wrong with Sexton's. Especially if your looking for shrimp, scallops, crab and red snapper in season . We have been to lots of seafood markets and many fish mongers in various locations and never have gotten the quality of seafood that we received here. We were able to cook better food at home than what we had eaten at any of the local restaurants. Also, I'm pretty sure they will pack it to travel if you want to take some fresh off the boat seafood home from vacation.

    This place had a variety of fish and other seafoods. The staff was a bit rude and didn't really talk to us. We asked them to remove the scales and fins, but they were left on. The prices are a bit more expensive than we expected. The fish was fresh as it could be and they gave us ice to pack our coolers.

    We have been trying to find a restaurant with good delicious grilled fish and I honestly haven't been able to find one so my husband told me he would be the chef and make it for me, and in this place you can find fresh delicious fish to eat and other varieties of sea food. I would definitely recommend this place if you like to cook yourself. Glad we found it! I had the best meal today the restaurants usually give you have of the fillet and lots of fresh fríes, here you can actually have a nice size filet.

    We liked Blalock's a lot better. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and it smelled fishy. The staff said they get the seafood from boats all through the day. The thing is, do they if it is Sunday? And do what are they going to do with the whole counter of shrimp that are sitting out currently if they are about to close? A good seafood place does not smell fishy. I made the shrimp we bought that night and they didn't seem very fresh. I have tried other local seafood shops and they were fresher and less expensive. They are cash only if you still decide to go.

    Do they sell live crawfish here? I'll be visiting and want to take some back home with me?

    My favorite Destin restaurant! It's a shack on the bay -- you order off a small menu on the wall,…read morewhen it's ready they shout your name, and drop it at your table. Highly highly recommend the fried shrimp and hush puppies. Fries are standard frozen crinkle cuts, the tiny portion of slaw is dry and forgettable, and the tartar sauce is mayo that blinked at some pickle relish as they passed in the fridge. The star of course is the shrimp. Big butterflied lightly coated fried pieces of fresh heaven. They charge extra for using CC and they expect a tip. I'm not real partial to tipping if I order at the counter and sit at a dirty picnic table outside. I'm also ok with hitting no tip. Taking my money is part of a cashiers duties, they are not tipped employees in my opinion.

    Dewey Destin's Seafood Restaurant was probably one of the best seafood restaurants we've been to on…read moreour trip! Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was fast, and the prices were very affordable, especially for the quality of the food. The ordering process was simple--you order at the front, find a seat, and they call your name when your food is ready. The restaurant is also right on the bay, which made for a beautiful view while we ate. I ordered the stuffed shrimp, and it was absolutely delicious. It came out piping hot, and the sauces served with it were amazing and added even more flavor. Everyone in my group really enjoyed their meals. Overall, I would definitely come back and highly recommend Dewey Destin's if you're looking for fresh seafood, quick service, beautiful waterfront views, and great prices!

    15/10 -- Truly Outstanding!…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about Stewby's Steamer, and especially their manager, Sierra. My family had ordered around $200 worth of their absolutely delicious seafood, but unfortunately, my mom and brother were involved in a terrible car accident, and in the midst of everything that happened, all of the food was lost. I called Stewby's the next day and spoke with Sierra to explain what had happened. She was incredibly kind, compassionate, and understanding and immediately took care of us by giving us 20% off when we reordered. She absolutely did not have to do anything for us, which made her kindness mean that much more. It wasn't about the discount, it was about the way Sierra genuinely cared about what our family had just been through and went out of her way to do something kind for us during an incredibly difficult situation. That kind of customer service and compassion is rare, and it will not be forgotten. Sierra is absolutely outstanding, and Stewby's is incredibly lucky to have her running their establishment. Between the AMAZING seafood and having someone like Sierra taking care of their customers, they have earned lifelong customers in our family. Thank you again, Sierra, for showing our family such kindness when you absolutely didn't have to. 15/10 -- we appreciate you more than you know!

    The workers are always super friendly and polite, no matter how busy it is. Shoutout to the cashier…read moremy name twin, who rang us up quickly and efficiently :) I've been here a few times and usually order the 1lb crab steamer dinner. The crab comes out very hot and the meat is moist, it hasn't been overcooked any of the times I've eaten there. I personally like to get crab when i go to seafood places like this, I'm not a fan of sausage so I can't say whether it's good, but i do enjoy the corn and potatoes. I will say one time I went here the corn and potatoes were a little undercooked, but it was super busy at that time so I can't fault them as the crab was still perfectly cooked. Nice restaurant to eat in at, they provide crab crackers which is always a plus, and have lots of merch that you can pick up on the way out.

When planning our vacation, we were looking for a restaurant with plenty of…read moreseafood options but also burger and chicken options near the boardwalk as we went on a sunset cruise right before. We did make a reservation a while in advance but it was not needed. There was only one other group dining at the restaurant while we were there. It's a huge restaurant so it was a little awkward saying we had a reservation when literally no one else was there lol. The food was good. Large portions. I had fresh oysters to start and I liked these. I then had a fried fish sandwich and I really liked the "comeback sauce" they put on it. Breaded really nicely and good flavor. Most of the people in our group enjoyed their meal! My friend has a dairy allergy and the server swore there was no dairy in her food but I think something may have slipped in because she wasn't feeling too great for a majority of the dinner following her appetizer of soft pretzels and entree of a salad.

My burger was perfectly cooked and the bacon jam that it came with was incredible! I never knew I liked bacon jam before this experience.
