Casamar Seafood Market

(First impression on one visit and one experience with the owner) I had to buy a few spiny tails before we left the Keys on our way home to Fort Myers. AI suggested a market that we discovered too late would be closed when we arrived. So a quick new search brought up Casamar SM just as we were passing it and it was closing! We wheeled in and a gentleman who appeared to be the owner was shoveling ice out of the display. But he had a crate of spiny’s and cut out a few tails (We all gotta go some time. I’ll say a prayer over the grilled tail. Really, a gift from nature and God!) The price was reasonable, talked with the “owner” who was nice and engaging for a late Sunday. I plan to return soon and see the whole operation and a full case of seafood.

We used to love buying stone crab here, I can’t believe I’m actually typing this up. When we came down to Isla Morada for a Sunday as a family, Key Largo Fisheries was always closing up on our drive back so we started coming here instead. I just left & I don’t think I want to ever come back, it sucks to say that. I asked for 2 pounds of crab, the gentleman put his phone down & started putting them in a bag. No hands were washed & there were no gloves used, even though they were right by the seafood. I kindly asked if he could re-fill another bag because I didn’t see him wash up or use gloves. He did not like that, attitude changed immediately. I also kindly asked if he could crack them for me & he simply said he didn’t have the machine, maybe he did but he just didn’t like me anymore.

Purch shrimp & stone crabs; shrimp were key west pinks ( fresh wild caught catch). Super fresh & we steamed them in our airbnb with herbs & drawn butter. Tasted so fresh & sweet and they were do easy to prepare in minutes. Highly recommend this market!

Bought 4 lbs of large stone crabs on our way home from key west. When I got home to enjoy them a few hours later they were the worst stone crabs I’ve ever bought. They were not rotten but very mushy, grainy and slimy. Cracked 4 claws then gave up and threw them away.

Casamar Seafood Market is a fantastic spot for fresh, high-quality seafood. The selection is impressive, with a variety of fish, shellfish, and other seafood that is always fresh and well-displayed. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions or offer recommendations. Prices are reasonable for the quality, and it's clear they take pride in their offerings. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that the store can get a bit crowded during peak times, which makes the shopping experience feel rushed. However, the quality of the seafood and the excellent customer service more than make up for it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for fresh seafood!
