The seafood truck is still there, if you're talking about the people who sell raw shrimp, salmon, sea bass, etc. by the pound. Last time I was there they even had a guy who offered knife sharpening services. Lots of "cottage industry" canned and jarred food products, a gluten-free bakery table, a few "craft-ish" types of tables, and the center table for all fresh produce.
This one is the one where the egg lady may or may not show up on random Tuesdays. It used to be run on 441 down in Lady Lake, next to Ye Olde Thrift Shoppe. When the pandemic hit, it shut down, and re-opened on Rolling Acres.
They don't have food trucks anymore but there was one lady last year that served 1/4-pound hotdogs with her specialty salsa on it. I don't know if the food truck thing was a decision of the organizers, or if the food trucks just decided they didn't want to use that location.

We go to that one frequently. It’s only open mid fall through mid spring, not year round. The seafood vendor there is good, but not the same one at the former weekly Thursday Spanish Spring farmers market that is now the weekly Saturday Brownwood farmers market. The seafood vendor at Lady Lake mostly sells frozen fish, not fresh like at the town square market. That being said, the fish is flash frozen and vacuum sealed when fresh and is less expensive and very good quality. In our opinion, the town square farmers market consistently has more vendors and better selection, but the Lady Lake market is much closer for us, easy to park, and much less hectic. I wish the Marion Farmers market was golf cart accessible.
