S&S Seafood Market

The S&S Seafood Market is found in the West Beach part of Gulf Shores. It has an amazing menu of locally caught seafood. (There are many Gulf Shores vacation rentals along West Beach as well; staying in these rentals will ensure that you are close to some of the best seafood around.)

You can order seafood from this market, and you will be given an extensive variety of options. There are many ways to have your seafood, and S&S Market has you covered. Whether you want shrimp, fish, or even crab, you are taken care of. 

The best part is that they are open fairly early and stay open later in the evening.

The staff provides some of the most excellent customer service experiences in the area. 

If you are in town for a wedding, you can even call for catering services. Just make sure you call before your big day to ensure that the Market is given enough time to prepare so they do not turn down your catering request. 

Blalock Seafood

The Blalock has been operated and locally owned since 1992. It was voted the best seafood market by the local People’s Choice Awards! Blalock Seafood unarguably has some of the freshest seafood in Gulf Shores. 

All seafood that is sold here is caught locally, ensuring that the seafood is as fresh as possible when you purchase it. One of the biggest things that Blalock is known for is its shrimp. This shrimp comes straight from the Gulf of Mexico and is a high-demand item that flies off shelves quickly. 

What you may not know is that Blalock also carries fine wine! You can turn a simple seafood dinner into a romantic gourmet dinner for two. All you need to do is pick up a bottle of wine. It may be difficult to choose because there are fine wines from across the globe available. You can also purchase special rubs and seasonings for your gourmet dinner. Lastly, ensure that you check out the many available specialty kinds of cheese. Wine, seafood, and cheese are what are on the menu tonight! 

Fresh Market Seafood

If you want to cook, visit the Fresh Market Seafood. This business is known for being family-owned and operated by the Wallace family, one of the oldest families in the area. In fact, in 1861, it was the Wallace family who found the Lagoon that is just a short drive from the market. The Wallace family was also known for being great anglers and shrimpers. This family has been passing down the secrets of catching and selling seafood for generations.

Seafood is brought in fresh daily to ensure high-quality items are leaving the store. Keep in mind that you can go in one day, and the next day, prices will be different. Seasons and hauls will determine the prices of the seafood. You’ll be paying market price, but you can rest assured you’re getting the freshest products available. 

You can also order food that is prepared into meals to go. Purchase spices needed for your seafood dinner and, of course, purchase a wide variety of seafood! 

Billy’s Seafood

Again, Gulf Shores is full of fresh seafood markets and shops. However, Billy’s rises to the top of the list. It has been open since 1975 intending to rise above and exceed standards. To meet this goal, boats deliver fresh seafood to the store daily, providing each customer that day with the freshest seafood possible. 

Companies and individuals can purchase fish or shellfish from Billy’s. The store is open six days a week from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. You can stop anytime during those hours Monday through Saturday. 

Lartigue’s Seafood Market

Lartigue’s is a family-owned and operated business that has been open since 1979 and has some of the biggest selections around for seafood. From shrimp to shellfish to crabs, and everything in between, you are taken care of. Much of the menu here is priced based on the market, which means that the prices can vary from time to time depending on certain factors.

Lartigue’s also has a charter service, allowing you to go out and catch fresh seafood. You can experience the entire process and have a memory of a lifetime! If you would like to do this, all you have to do is contact the charter service on Lartigue’s website. Prices will be different for off-season fishing trips. The experience is designed to be fun and safe. There are many different options available for charters, including a three-hour bay cruise up to a two-day fishing trip! 

If you are thinking about going on a charter, you may want to consider our Orange Beach rentals or Gulf Shores rentals on the beach. This will allow you to have a place to shower and relax after a long day on the water.
