We have been frequenting Mott's Channel Seafood for years. It's known by locals as THE best place to get freshest and widest selection of great fish,alongside the best tasting and looking fresh shrimp I have found, (one of our favorite things to do is after being on the boat or beach is planning a simple meal of shrimp & grits w/ fresh vegetables , all found at Mott's Channel. Of course, there is also available the incredible home made key lime pie as a treat! The grits packages are all-inclusive, no need to add ingredients, thus healthier for you. Plus it's simple to make. Their fresh corn, local vegetables available are there for the taking. The staff is always helpful about which is best for how you want to cook, they are very knowledgeable -- their boats come in and out daily here, docked right by the seafood shop. Drive right up, no parking problems , look for it near the marinas along the water between between Banks Channel & the I.C.W. A must go-to spot for fresh-catch.
