I stumbled onto a lil hidden gem in the Tampa area for you fresh-seafood buyers it's named "Ocean…read moreLobster Key West" Seafood Market. After searching for fresh seafood in the retail/wholesale category on the Internet this little gem came up. The place was a classic hole in the wall find. When I got to the plaza, didn't see the name of the market so I asked around and found out it was around back of the building. I walked in one of the first things that I noticed was the place was neat, and I didn't notice that classic "seafood smell " we all know about. The two owners were very gracious and showed me around. I called prior to coming there and ask them for fresh whole grouper, snapper and lobster tails. Upon arriving, the owners proceeded to open up freezer cabinets and showed me an abundance of snapper and grouper varieties in the whole fish category. Looking at the eyes of the fish, you could tell they were super fresh, just the way us seafood buyers like them. I did have them fillet, scale, and butterfly some of my fish while I was there. I also purchased pre- frozen lobster tails had them the next night for dinner absolutely So tasty.. Here is my pro tip of the day : The afternoon I was there, I saw the sign they had a GROUPER FISH SANDWICH with fries and a drink for $10. (The only thing I'm missing is a picture). You cannot get fresh grouper w/ lettuce, tomato, and onion (on a bun toasted) with fries and drink for $10 ANYWHERE I KNOW OF (ask them for a bit of the homemade spicy hot sauce) tell them Jeff P. sent you "thank me later".

We had grouper sandwiches and our kid had fish tenders. Food was great, enjoyed it after visit to Aquarium.

The first time, I was searching online for a place where I could get some oxtail, and I came across this store with a 4.7-star rating. I decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did! More importantly, I can't believe I didn't know about this place during the 25 years I've lived here in Tampa. From now on, this is my go-to spot for all my meat and seafood! The prices were unbelievable, especially for the amount of meat I received, and the quality was second to none. Not only did I get my oxtail, but I also picked up some goat meat at an outstanding price! I also learned they offer a 5% military discount for veterans during the last week of every month, which is another great reason to support them. I want to give a special shout-out to the owner, Bill, who took great care of me at the register. He made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in, told me about all the great deals they offer, and truly treated me like family. I also want to recognize Nicole and Shanta for providing outstanding customer service while helping me choose from their huge selection of meats. I think it was Nicole who told me I needed to buy more oxtail, but I didn't listen... and guess what? I had to come back the very next day because she was absolutely right! Thank you, Nicole and Shanta, for serving me with smiles, enthusiasm, and genuine kindness. Great customer service is hard to find these days, and you both absolutely knocked it out of the park. I can't wait for my next visit. You guys have earned a customer for life. If you're looking for quality meats, fresh seafood, great prices, and even better customer service, do yourself a favor and check them out. You guys ROCK, and you're second to none! -- Lenny Woods

The woman answering the phone was very pleasant, and told me they did, then without me even asking, went and checked the price per pound. Since $30 seems to be the going price for a pound of mediums this year (2021), I headed out. I never would have found the place if it weren't for my navigation system. I still went past it, then had to circle back. Inside was clean and bright, and surprisingly, not fishy-smelling. You order whatever you want at the counter, which is backed by boxes and boxes of frozen seafood, apparently for those who want large quantities, or restaurants. I was served promptly, and the man was very helpful. They were also well stocked on items you would need to cook seafood, like seasonings, etc. Check-out was easy, and the woman was even like - oh, are you the one who called? They have their own parking lot, but it's a bit beat up, and people seem to park every which way. There is a food truck in the parking lot which cooks up fresh seafood, and seafood boils. My game plan is to try that option next visit.

The top skin is very crispy and the pork belly meat is very soft and tender and it taste tasted like it was just right out out of the oven. I also ordered the sua siu pork, and it was very tender and delicious as well. This oriental grocery store is the most organized and decorated grocery store I've ever been into. They have a whole aisle, dedicated to the Chinese beauty drink, which my mother has stockpiled the ingredients for me and I make a tea of it every week. My mother was with me to help me pick out the pork belly, and she had stated that the prices are pretty decent however, there are some items where the prices are higher than other oriental grocery stores but overall the prices are very decent here. The prices for their deli station is very nicely priced I would say much cheaper than the other places and the quality is much higher than at the other places so it's definitely a win-win situation at this place. They have a very large parking lot and it's very close to downtown Tampa and it's very close a couple blocks away from armature works.

They have always delivered and makes me confident to recommend them to my family and friends. Whether you need some grocery items or a lunch/dinner plate, they have something for everyone. We recently had a housewarming party and used RFM for our food options. Our guests were thoroughly impressed by the food and the quality. Everyone HAD to know where we got the food from. One guest even said the pepper steak reminded her of her grandmothers when she was growing up. What a compliment! The service is good as well. It is definitely a predominantly Spanish speaking location but as a non-Spanish speaker, we've had no issues getting in our orders or interacting with the staff. Sundays are usually the most packed in my opinion, but it's mostly for those who are looking to grab a meal. They have multiple registers open at the same time to check out is usually pretty fast. Very well-lit inside, no crazy odors and lots to choose from.

On this day we ordered a Ropa Vieja Plate, Spaghetti and meatballs and Acapurria. Ropa Vieja- 4/5- The meat was tasty and tender, the yellow rice was a bit stale and the sweet plantains were perfectly fried. Tip: I was able to fix the rice by putting it in a bowl and adding a little water to it and then covering with a paper towel. This softened it up. Spaghetti and Meatballs- 4/5- The small size was perfect for my son but it contained peppers inside. He was not a fan. I thought it was good but if you don't like peppers in your food maybe stay clear of this one. Acapurria- 4/5- I received it cold as if it has been sitting out. The other items I ordered were hot upon arrival so this too should have been hot. It was tasty and greasy as you can tell from the bag in the picture.

You have to place your order at a register and they bring your food out to the table overlooking the water. There is patio seating and indoor seating. The tables are metal w a blue rubber. Not uncomfortable but not particularly comfortable either. The place is casual, low frills, and does not offer table service. However, the sunsets over the water are super pretty here and the string lighting is pretty. The LOADED LOBSTER BISQUE came with creamy bisque with a hint of sherry wine and extra loaded with lots of lobstah meat. 10/10 LEONS "FAMOUS" LOBSTAH ROLL served Hot comes with old bay and butter. If Served Cold, it comes with house mayo blend, fresh citrus and old bay. I opted for hot and it was very tasty. 10/10 LEONS PO BOY came with crispy shrimp with house slaw, sweet & spicy pickles, and our scratch made remoulade. 8/10 BANG SHRIMP TACOS came with crispy shrimp with siracha mayo, sweet thai chili, house slaw, and red pepper flakes on 3 flour tortillas and a side of potato chips. The tacos were tasty but chips side was disappointing. It Would have been better with real chips and salsa. 8/10 FISH N CHIPS came with crispy northern cod fried golden brown and served with tartar sauce and leons house-made remoulade. Very tasty fresh and juicy. 9/10 LEONS CRISPY SHRIMP BASKET came with a dozen jumbo shrimp served with cocktail and leons' house made. The shrimp was surprisingly juicy and tasty. The remolded sauce was tasty as well. 9/10 If you're looking for a casual seafood spot with a pretty sunset water view in South Tampa south of Bayshore, definitely try out Leon's Lobstah Shack!
