About the Business
Since 2003, Lighthouse Seafood has provided dayboat fresh seafood every day. Our expanded market now includes a full-service Café with fresh seafood for lunch and dinner straight from our Market. A family-owned business, we support fishing families in Florida, sourcing our products from local fishermen bringing us the best from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic. We also bring in fresh-never-frozen salmon from the North Sea, king and snow crab from the Northwest and fresh trout from Idaho. We offer varieties of local fish you won't find frozen in the supermarket -- mangrove snapper, triggerfish, hogfish -- along with perennial favorites including red snapper, grouper, sushi-grade tuna and many varieties of local shrimp such as hoppers, Key West pinks and Royal Reds. Our Café serves craft beer and wine, and you can order off the menu or you can pick out something from our Market and have our chef prepare it.

Q:
I could not find this place 🙃?
A:
It's a bit tucked away, but if you look for the 7-11 on the NE corner of lake Mary blvd and country club road, you'll see it next to a pottery painting place. The windows are tinted so it seems hidden but look for the inevitable crowds of people… more

Do they do takeout?

We've noticed people coming in to pick up orders while we were dining in.

Love this seafood market! Tim, the owner,takes great pride in having the freshest and most delicious seafood.The store is clean and always well stocked with a terrific variety. I have a hard time deviating from the amazing Scottish salmon and Ahi Tuna because I am "hooked' on them ;) My family now asks for their fresh fish for every Holiday and family gathering. I do suggest that you preorder for the Holidays so that you can just go in and pick up your order.
The staff is super friendly and helpful. You cannot go wrong here. I HIGHLY recommend Lighthouse Seafood for a clean, healthy and delicious meal.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - grace g.Sanford, FL910Apr 26, 2024
We are so lucky to live near the freshest seafood restaurant and store! My husband loves the salad with Mahi and Shrimp, he gets both on the salad. Since it's spring I am excited by the Florida Stone Crab and get them with fries, delicious. The rest of the year I look forward to the best salmon I have ever ordered. All the fish, shellfish, shrimp, everything in the case, can be cooked to order.
We often eat lunch and bring home dinner, either fried or steamed shrimp, grouper cakes, a snapper or whatever the special is. We support local fishermen and local businesses.
Unfortunately no photo can give a hint of the the ambiance or the fragrance of the food and we eat as soon as it is served.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 15, 20241 check-in
The set up is simple, there's a seafood counter and a restaurant in the same space. You simply can't beat the freshness and quality. I had a filet of swordfish that was grilled to absolute perfection! Also, went home with 2 other types of fish. Each filet was consistently fresh and delicious.

Well I was certainly expecting more. With all the great reviews I thought we were in for some good food. Alas, not so much. We ordered the stuffed mushroom as an appetizer. The crabcake stuffing came out black. And the mushroom was not much better. I asked the server if it was supposed to be black and burnt and she replied yes. It tasted like it looked. Then came the main course. We both ordered the fisherman's platter. I must say most of the food was good. But the fried Mahi was horrible. It had been fried way too long, and it tasted like cardboard. I don't know if we caught them at a bad time, but it just was not that good overall.

Consistent, excellent offerings with friendly service. THE BEST fish restaurant in Central FL IMHO. Group of us went, appetizers, soup, various dishes prepared differently and EVERYTHING was great and well received. Face it, good food (fresh, fresh fish etc.) is not cheap but you sure get your money's worth here. It's not fancy but can NOT BE BEAT. Try the key lime. We have never been disappointed at the market or cafe.

This is not fine dining but the food is every bit of a fine dining meal. Best fish dinner in this area by far. Everything hot, everything looked great, great selection...FRESH fish, Nikki our server was so sweet and helpful. Overcome the strip mall, the fact the cafe is in the market and it's not super fancy and you will be TREATED to a great meal and experience. Yay.

When you see a restaurant had over 100 nearly all 5 star reviews, you gotta check it out. And that we did. Thank you fellow yelpers! This incredible fish market and restaurant is a seafood lover's dream.
Florida is known for so much amazing fresh fish and seafood and Lighthouse Seafood and Cafe exceeded my expectations. Living by the Jersey Shore we have lot of seafood here too and this was as fresh as can be. I had an incredible ceasar salad with fresh grilled shrimp which was so good. The caesar dressing is so fresh and next level. Try it! The crab cake was also very good. My husband loved his swordfish. And best of all Krista was an amazing server that couldn't help us out enough. She was really a pleasure and her excellent service even made our meal better.
While Lighthouse Seafood was a little out of the way for us, it was so worth it. Next time I'm in the Lake Mary area I'll make a special trip and include it in my itinerary! Oh and the key lime pie is worth getting. That was also so good. Five stars from me!! Look at these amazing photos !! The food is even better than the pics look!Helpful 2Thanks 2Love this 0Oh no 2 - Dec 30, 2023
My mom deemed this the BEST piece of grilled salmon she's ever had. She's 81 years old and has seen her fair share of salmon, so this is saying A LOT. Arrived around 5:45pm on a Friday and there was a little bit of a wait, but one of the staffers was able to make some space for us at the bar so we got seated faster than if we had waited for a table. The menu is relatively simple but omg so many options to choose from. The starters looked so good but we decided to pass and keep space available for the main event. Mom got the grilled salmon on top of a Caesar salad and I got the grilled swordfish with spinach and hush puppies. Wow. Wow. Wow. Three wows and each one more than justified. Salmon and swordfish were super duper fresh and beyond tasty. I feel like I've been doing spinach all wrong but whatever they are doing here is definitely right. At first I thought - two sad hush puppies - but two was just right. So good, sure I could have eaten more but honestly this was perfect. I damn near licked the plate clean. Had to get a slice of key lime pie, small but powerful. The prices are a little up there but you know, quality costs and this was awesome quality product done perfectly. We now are trying to work up some excuses to start making our way through the rest of the menu (crab cake and crab stuffed mushroom cap - looking at you). Can't wait to be back!

A great time was had by entire group. I had the Sea Bass and it was fantastic. We also had the steam clams and they also were great. Our waitress was really great. Overall a fantastic meal.

My wife and I shared a bowl of clam chowder, each had the shrimp basket, and a slice of key lime pie for lunch. Everything was very fresh, and tasted amazing! Service was very friendly and attentive. This is a spot we will be sure to visit frequently moving forward!
