50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Jacksonville

“As always, their food, vibe, professionalism, and service were top notch. Our first night out in a while, and as usual, JCF exceeded in delivering an amazing atmosphere. The cooks, servers, and staff were, as always, quick, thorough, and the food was delish. Ibelieve I've had nearly everything on their menu now and it never is less than excellent! Quite likely our top 3-5 favorite nationwide! Easily could be number 1 with great competition. If you want amazing local food, this place is the spot. Thanks as always, y'all!“

“JL’s has been a staple to my Navy family since the early seventies. We moved from Guantánamo Bay Cuba to Jacksonville.. Dad 95 years old and I had another great dinner! Liz, took care of us tonight, she went over and beyond the call of duty! I told her I wanted to get a new t-shirt when we finished dinner. We place our order and next thing I know she brings out several T-shirts for me to choose from! That’s, that extra little touch that goes a long way!“

“It's all about Matt! Food: My husband and I had Fried Catfish and Cajun fries. Great! Place: Very nice. Pleasant atmosphere. Service: Extraordinary! Server: Matt. This is where I get into details. Everything about this place was pretty much like any restaurant we have eaten at. But, the service is what separates one location from another. Our server Matt was the point man on this and he has it in spades. He never missed a beat. He gave his real recommendations on what dishes are good and which ones are great. He kept our glasses filled, constantly making sure our table was clean. Always stopping by to make sure we were fine without being overbearing. He paid close attention to what everyone (we were a table of 8) wanted. And the whole time he smiled and presented himself as someone who loves their job. I would go back to Cajun Crab just for him. Great service. He is why I give this place a 5-star. Thank you Matt.“

“2nd time coming, food was FANTASTIC again. My stepmother said the calamari is the best she has ever had. This woman knows her seafood. I had the oysters and grilled fish. Absolutely amazing. Everyone I have had the pleasure of talking with has been so friendly and cheerful. I have found my new seafood place.“

“The food is 5 star!! The Service is a little slow, the App will tell you that your order is ready for pick up but you have to wait an additional 10 to 20 minutes to get it. The atmosphere is on par with restaurants of it's caliber. I'm a repeat customer!!“

“My husband and I made a last-minute decision to stop by Brine. Even without a reservation, the staff warmly welcomed us and seated us right away. We started with the caviar nachos and oysters, both were absolutely incredible. It was so good that we couldn’t resist ordering the octopus, and we finished with their cheesecake bread pudding. Every bite was amazing. I can’t recommend it enough. The food, the atmosphere, and the staff are all outstanding, you won’t be disappointed!“

“What a pleasant surprise! Stopped by for a good meal close to our hotel…great ambiance, live music, sweet staff and even the guests were welcoming! The lemon pepper catfish and wings were both so good - and that fried spinach with the catfish entree was something totally different and a delicious pairing with the catfish! Might have to come back before heading back home :) 10/10 would recommend! (Food not pictured…eaten too quickly lol)“

“One year ago we lost a very dear friend, co-worker, family member and loved one! We went to seasons 52 to celebrate his life and brought with us (his ashes). The staff at seasons 52 town center Jacksonville Florida was amazing and accepted the situation as if he was there! From the bar tender Michael who served him a drink to the receptionist who Renee who made us fell very welcome and treated our friend with respect and dignity to our waiter Blake who also went the extra mile to make our experience exceptional! We would like to recognize these people for helping us make our friends night out so very special we will be back every year because of them and the service, not to mention the food was amazing! Thank you!“

“We really enjoyed our meal last night! We started with tuna poke served with wonton chips. It was so fresh and the chips were crisp. My husband got the grouper special and ate it all. I got the scallops. They were seared perfectly, the grits were creamy, and I'd love the collards recipe lol. Thanks for a great meal“

“Food took a long time to come out while getting lunch with my co workers.. everybody food came out & they ate as I sat and waited. All to be given warm/cold Mac and cheese (nasty) beans and rice when I ordered pilaf rice (I don't even eat or like beans)!and was told in a snobby way...we don't have pilaf rice any more.... SO WHY IS IT IN THE MENU & WHY WAS IN NOT TOLD THAT WHEN I ORDERED!?? smh Due to how long my lunch break is and how long it took my food to come to ME. I had no time to replace my order which was all wrong.. my order:;Fried stuff flounder, Mac n chz and pilaf rice. I got: Baked stuff flounder(which was more chz and "stuffing"than fish) warm/cold Mac n chz and beans with rice.. Will Not Be Back!“

“We moved from Maryland to Florida almost 2 years ago. We have been disappointed not finding anyplace with steamed blue crabs. That is until we found The Blue Crab Crab house and it actually said "A Maryland style crab House" We found your place Saturday and were pleasantly surprised. The steamed crabs were priced just right and tasted every bit as good { even though you did not use Old Bay, JO was just as good} and full as any crab I got in Maryland. Thank you to the owner from Baltimore, the cook, and our waitress who was very attentive. We will be back.“

“I came in on a Monday after the lunch crowd. I got the stuffed flounder with creamed corn and a baked potato. The food was amazing and so was my waitress Kylie. I'm a native of the Gulf Coast of Florida so I'm very particular about my seafood and I was really really impressed with the stuffed flounder then included a stuffed crab cake. It tasted very authentic and not commercial.“

“We had a work 2026 New Year's Eve party at Island Wings on Southside Blvd, Jacksonville, FL. I worked with Rashad Graham, the catering manager and our waiter named Jared. They were FANTASTIC!!! Every step of the way in planning, Rashad was there and ready to help and give suggestions. When I arrived, early, for the party they already had everything set-up and ready to go. Rashad came and met me and introduced me to Jared. They had everything planned. Jared was assigned only to our group for getting cocktails. He was amazing, taking care of close to 35 people and no one was ever searching and searching for him. He remembered names and faces. The food was delicious and there was SO MUCH! They supplied boxes and we all took home some food. I have to say, this was one of the BEST parties we have ever had! Will be looking to them again for a other party in the future.“

“Delicious ❣️Enjoyed every bite❣️“

“Easily one of my best dining experiences in Jacksonville. Food and service were incredible. I've been in Jax a long time and I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner. The dry-age steak was perfect and the lobster crab cake was top tier. The manager greeted us and Mitoki made sure we had a great time our dinner date! Oh, and the cheesecake is amazing.“

“Had lunch there today and the place is so clean and decorated nicely. All of our food was delicious and the service was great. So glad we stopped in today to give it a try.“

“We had a fantastic dining experience at Blue Fish Seafood Restaurant! From start to finish, the food was spectacular, but what truly made our night special was our server, Jenn. She was absolutely excellent—attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced our entire meal.
For our appetizers, we started with the raw oysters and the mussels, both of which were incredibly fresh and flavorful.
Our main entrees were just as impressive. The salmon was cooked to perfection, and the seafood stuffed shells were rich, savory, and loaded with flavor.
We finished the night with dessert, and the brownie topped with hot fudge, caramel, whipped cream, and vanilla ice cream was the ultimate sweet ending.
We will definitely be back! Highly recommend asking for Jenn if you want top-tier service.“

“Palm’s Fish Camp exceeded everyone in the group’s expectations. They welcome us, all 54 of us, with live music and good food. They accommodated for all of our needs including one of us with a horrible sea food allergy. Everything went so smoothly. We all had an amazing time. I cannot stop raving about this restaurant and the staff. On top of all of this, the food was so delicious.“

“the best ever!! my favorite place for seafood.“

“Tonight I tried one of the specials. It was Tuesday night, so that’s gonna be crab legs or mahi tacos. I chose mahi tacos and I was not disappointed loaded with fish in a very tasty slaw. My side was fries and they were hot potato and slightly crisp crinkle cut. Very enjoyable experience for a quick late dinner on my way home from the bike park I will go again.“
