Is there any place close by that sells good grouper sandwiches? We are looking for a local place that has good grouper, clams, calamari, shrimp. Growing up on Clearwater Beach we got spoiled by the offering of really fresh, inexpensive places like "Frenchy's".
That will be on of the first things we look for as we move to TV.
Any favorites out there within driving distance for an evening or lunch?
Thx!

Not sure if you'd want to drive this far........to the east coast of Florida?
Bunky's Raw Bar (Sports bar with all kinds of seafood; family friendly) on the beach......grouper on the menu. Calamari, everything seafood.
Casual place.
AGAIN, no doubt you will find exactly what you are looking for right in THE VILLAGES.......but if you crave a day trip or a "weekend away" , save the info below. Like for a special anniversary trip......the Hilton comes with good recommendations. The restaurants all look great.....46 of them.

Grouper was humongous but great! The poke was excellent also...

When I'm hungry for a good fish sandwich, we head to Bunky's. It's usually crowded and often loud, but that's not a complaint. Lots of families eat at Bunky's and the kids enjoy the games and fish tanks.
I usually get a fish sandwich or a fish dinner (grouper if they have it). But the last time we went, I had my yearly craving for wings. I'd never had wings at Bunky's before, and these were very good. I had Howie's Specialty Wings: "Naked wings tossed in so not hot, teriyaki & garlic". The sauce was a wonderful combination of flavors. The next time I want wings, this is where I'm going.
But this is mainly a seafood place, with lots of fish and seafood on the menu. I've never had fish here that I didn't like. Sometimes they have fish tacos as a special. I love these and wish they'd put them on the regular menu.
There is a full liquor bar, and the bar area itself is usually full of locals.
