This place came up on my FB feed while scrolling. Ad caught my attention with the weekend specials…read more We drove over tonight to give it a try. We ordered the shot honey grouper sandwich, bang bang shrimp fries, fried shrimp and grouper bites. Three were weekend specials for $9.99. That price and quality cannot be beat! The hot honey grouper was awesome. Very nice filet of grouper with hot honey on it. Sweet, spicy and freshly cooked. 10/10. Fries were freshly fried and had a nice seasoning. Great meal. My son had the grilled grouper bites. They were cooked perfectly and he devoured them. 2 thumbs up! Other son had the shrimp basket. Fried shrimp were juicy and crispy. Not over battered. Great taste and another 2 thumbs up. Bang bang shrimp fries were really good. Not hot but had great flavor. Fries had a ton of bacon and that yummy sauce drizzled over them. Would get again. 9/10. Easy to find, plenty of parking. Nice outdoor area with about 6 tables. Service was friendly and quick. Price was great for fresh seafood. We drove about 30 minutes and it was worth the drive!

So there is a seafood food truck in the parking lot called "Ruskin Seafood Shack", I think they are…read moreowned by the same owner. My wife & I wanted seafood, mainly fish and this business is now open on Tuesdays which is great. Most of the seafood places in the area only open Thursdays through Saturday. So my wife wanted grilled grouper, and she said it was prepared perfectly. She said that it wasn't overly seasoned and that it tasted fresh. She liked the red potatoes and said that next time she'd do a double order of them. We also go a pound of bay scallops which were delicious. Not overly seasoned and cooked perfectly. I had the fish & chips and I received two nice size pieces of cod, it wasn't overly battered or seasoned and it was very fresh. I also got red potatoes and fries but I'd also double up on the potatoes or get a side of corn. The scallops were abundant and a half order would been sufficient. If they had hush puppies it would be perfect. The customer service "Dustin" was amazing. He was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful with my order today. The prices are fair and the food was very hot. I live 20 minutes away and when I got home it was still scorching hot. I strongly recommend this business and I'll return here again real soon.

I was very disappointed with this restaurant. I have been coming here since around 2011 every year…read more Sometimes multiple times. We were sixth in line. The restaurant wasn't busy. Half of the tables were empty. It took us over 15 minutes just to put our order in. After receiving our order the shrimp was good as always, but my fries were so hard I could only eat half of them. The hush puppies, were just ok. What was once a favorite restaurant in the area, now needs to get back to being the restaurant I once loved.

Hookin' Ain't Easy... and neither is deciding what to order!…read more This hidden gem is proof that great seafood doesn't need fancy table service. You order at the food truck, grab a picnic table under the trees, and wait while everything is cooked fresh. The sign says, "Be patient. Be kind." Trust me, it's worth both. The smoked wahoo dip disappeared embarrassingly fast. Creamy, smoky, and packed with flavor. The blackened grouper sandwich was the star of the show. Perfectly seasoned, flaky, moist, and piled high on toasted bread with fresh toppings. The soft shell crab sandwich was crispy, sweet, and one of those meals that requires extra napkins and zero shame. Even the roasted broccoli was charred just right. Come for the seafood. Stay for the quirky atmosphere. Leave wondering why you've waited so long to eat here.

Casual! Whole fried snapper! Fried Wahoo! Local fish! Full menu, full bar…read more Hookin' Aint Easy Seafood Company is a cool house converted into a fish market and patio with a food truck and a bar with chairs with backs. There's plenty of umbrellaed tables and picnic tables. They have a full menu of apps, seafood, and burgers. Their whole fried snapper is one of our favorite fish, and Hookin' serves a generous serving, perfectly tender and sweet, in a light crispy layer of coating, on a regular soft bun, with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. Their Fried Wahoo is also well-prepared. We got fried, and it was tender and fresh. Both fish came with a heaping serving of hot crispy fries. You could also get either fish blackened, and you could add various veggies as sides. We ordered our food and also picked it up ourselves at the bar. Hookin' can get crowded, especially when they have a live musician, and parking can get pretty tight. It's just off I-275 at 22nd St, in St. Pete Fl east of Gulfport. They keep their social media pretty up-to-date, but we didn't track down a "regular" webpage.

The fish was made with a very thin, light batter which is a good thing, adding a light crisp to this fresh sweet not-fishy-tasting fish. You could get it as a sandwich, but the dinner was 2 filets for maybe $2 more and enough to share for lunch with plenty of piping-hot fries. Delicious and generous!

They also had orchids, snacks, some small plants that a plant lover could rescue. There was some great prices that I saw. I picked up a small coconut bar snack which was also next to some local chocolate fudge. It was very good. The person working was very nice and welcoming.
