There is just something about a locally owned, small business that makes you glad you walked through their door, Viola and the crew at DS make you feel welcome and appreciated, the great product and pricing is an extra bonus, thank you so much.

Finally made it into the store and the store did not disappoint!! The nice young ladies were friendly and helpful. They were glad to let me sample a few of the salads and spread so besides the shrimp, scallops and sheepshead, snapper I came home with Conch salad, smoked salmon and some Poke! The picture is the blue soft shell crabs I made a few weeks back when Heather came to visit, and I just had to share. Very Nice!! Thank you DS for making my week!!

Dakota Seafood is truly a hidden gem! We love the convenience of stopping in and the incredible selection they offer. Hands down, the freshest seafood in the area. Their inventory is fantastic, with everything from veggies and seafood to charcuterie supplies and more—everything is top quality. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to provide recommendations or cooking tips. We’ve tried their salmon, shrimp, Chilean sea bass, crab & halibut cakes, and scallops—every bite was perfection! Whether you’re a seafood enthusiast or just looking to elevate your next meal, Dakota Seafood is the place to go.
