Perdido Bay Seafood is the seafood market on Perdido Key Drive — the place we send anyone staying in a condo with a kitchen who’s tired of paying restaurant prices for shrimp that came off the same boats. And that’s the thing: a lot of what’s in the case comes off their own boats, which is about as short as a supply chain gets.
What you’ll find
Fresh Gulf shrimp is the headliner, alongside crabmeat, oysters, and a wide case of fresh fish sold whole, steaked, or filleted to order. Ask about royal reds when they have them — the deep-water shrimp locals compare to lobster, and the thing worth planning a dinner around.
The move
Pick your shrimp and they’ll steam it while you wait for 50 cents a pound, seasoning included free. You can also call ahead and have it ready to grab. That’s the whole play: walk out with a bag of hot steamed shrimp, drive five minutes to the condo, eat like you know somebody with a boat. You do now.
Good to know
It’s a clean, well-run market with fair prices, and the reviews are the kind a fish market earns one honest pound of shrimp at a time.
