Pre-othered stone crab claw floaters. They had them for $10/lb. Think it's best to call and order. Also oxide up fresh group for $25/ lb. Both were very good. It's an hour drive for me to get there. Due to gas prices, may try to see if I can get these things closer to home. If not I can make a day of it amd do lunch in the area! read more

Fresh seafood is clear here! The food stand and fish market is right next to the Homosassa River. Lovely scenery where you can enjoy quality seafood. Family-like hospitality! The menu is small, but the quality is excellent. My family ordered yellow fin tuna tacos, wild shrimp tacos, wild shrimp quesadilla, and codfish sandwich. Two tacos for $8, codfish sandwich for $10, and quesadilla for I think $8. My Mom wrote a scribbly-looking order and I verbally confirmed it with the friendly cashier. Not surprisingly, my Mom's order was incorrect (probably due to all the scribbles), for which she had 2 tuna tacos instead of 1 shrimp taco and 1 tuna taco. Thankfully, the cashier corrected it to get my Mom the 1 shrimp taco. She gave us the incorrect tuna taco to keep because she would have to throw it away anyway. The cashier was attentive in following-up and personally handed the requested shrimp taco to my Mom. Our experience there was great regardless. My family enjoyed the food and their hospitality. We definitely recommend this place. There is a decent number of tables for about 20 chairs or so. We went around 2pm, so the stand was not crowded. read more

Wow, wow, wow!! I love it! I am a total sucker for a great seafood market, and this place takes the cake! I live in San Francisco and don't know why we don't have a place like this at Fisherman's Wharf. All of Shelly's fish is basically local. She deals with very little frozen fish, and most of it is caught in waters within a 200 mile radius of her location. We got a fantastic grouper filet that we watched the guy on the back table filet for us right off the fish that had been delivered that morning. At that time, they had a guy gigging flounder and grouper for them; no nets, no hooks, just a spear gun. Of course they had local shrimp, oysters, blue crabs (that happened to be in season), and lots more. I love Gulf fish, and this place definitely satisfied my itch! If I lived in Homosassa, it would be hard not to stop here every day on the way home. Love it, love it, love it! read more

Always a great choice of fresh local fish and also things they bring in from other parts of the country. They have Scotttish Salmon that is so good and Key West pink shrimp when in season, both are excellent! They even brought in NE haddock recently which was delicious.

Shelly's is a pure TREASURE in Citrus County! SUPER,SUPER CLEAN, NO FISH STINK! Why? Because she scrubs and cleans nightly, when she leaves it is PRISTINE! (Don't try that anywhere else) Fish is SUPER FRESH and ICE COLD, all supplied by her 8 Brothers, Comercial Fishermen all, Once she knows you, she'll entice you to try "other fish" which is how I developed my LOVE for Hogfish, and Golden Tile Fish, she has the BEST COD I have ever eaten. I LOVE her Swordfish, Octopus,Key West Pink Shrimp,(boat frozen,(not Processed)), STONE CRABS, SEA SCOLLOPS,(again boat frozen, and divine),LOCAL BLUES CRABS, ($2.00 to clean a dozen). A FIRST RATE ESTABLISHMENT, run by a very pretty lady, serving the BEST Fish around! See you this weekend Shelly!!!!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Shelly's. From the seafood to the people.....especially Shelly. Yes, it's a little more expensive, but, after all it's not Walmart. It's the freshest most beautiful seafood I have ever seen, NOT smelled, and tasted. Even Publix seafood and case can have a fishy smell. Not Shelly's. I have found Shelly, family, and staff to be nothing but kind and friendly.....even when the little market is packed and they are working so hard and fast. There is a reason they have so many loyal customers. And who is in the business of giving expensive seafood away? I can't imagine anyone expecting that. I absolutely will not buy my seafood anywhere else. I AM one of those LOYAL customers. Thanks Shelly!!! And I love my Kooziies and the Stone Crab Sauce is out of this WORLD. BTW folks down at the end of the page of reviews there is a line that reads...... 8 other reviews that are not currently recommended. Why some reviews end up there I don't know, but if you click on it there are 8 more excellent reviews of Shelly's. read more

The day we went the selection was not very large, and a few items were frozen or shipped in. We also bought some salmon dip which was very good. Everything was great but a little expensive.

Have been buying stone crab claws and fresh fish from then over the past few years. Last April we bought 125 lbs of stone crab claws. The claws are always fresh and high quality. The best part of dealing with them besides quality is that they have the old Fla mentality. Quality product, friendly service, and very caring attitude.

This place is great! It is a family owned and managed business and that you can tell by both the quality and the service you get. Our family has been customers for over 15 years! We make it a point to stop in every time we are out on the water being that you can pull up to the dock and get the "catch that got away"! It doesn't matter if you are in the mood for fresh fish, crab, shrimp or oysters, you will always get a great deal. read more

The service was so friendly. Our server Maddie knew the entire menu and treated us fantastically. They added a gluten free and vegan menu. For Lil old homosassa....wow. the pierogis were delicious with perfectly roasted veggies. We also had the Mahi and wahoo fish dip. Some people did not enjoy it, but its a classic fish dip and I thought it was fresh. I had the chicken BLT and I loved it. Gourmet sandwhich. I tasted the parmesano shrimp and the fish. Holy Moly it was delicious, flakey and buttery. We definitely would recommend this. Its not a fancy place, its easy and casual but so delicious. Next time hopefully we can enjoy sitting out back.

They have an entire gluten free menu and vegan menu, too! Service was awesome! Our waitress remembered all of our 7 orders perfectly by memory, and they also have a full bar. You can pull up on your boat, too. The restaurant seems to be under new ownership and positive changes are coming... :) Will definitely try the vegan chocolate cake next time!

Excellent, simple menu, very good prices, good beer selection, and it's located right at boat docks. You can sit indoors where it's cooler, on the adjacent partially enclosed patio, or at one of the tiki picnic tables near the docks. Service was super slow, but friendly - so make sure to give yourself some extra time and maybe have an extra beer. Oh, and definitely try the steamed mussels. Some of the best I've ever had.
