Default Has Anyone Tried The "Corner Seafood Vendors"?
If there's anything that has surprised me since moving to TV, it's the dearth of high quality seafood. Yeah, I know Publix has a seafood department, but I mean something a tad fresher and more attractive than that.

One frequently sees people under umbrellas with a cooler or two selling "fresh" seafood on corners around TV. There's often a guy just west of Paulie's Liquors on 466, east of TV. I've seen others along 301 , west of TV. I even stopped at a couple to ask about their shrimp, crabs, etc. One said it was "same day fresh" from the Keys, delivered to him by his boat captain/supplier. His looked fresh. Another at the corner of 466 and 301 had a similar story, but the seafood was obviously frozen.

Has anyone tried these seafood vendors? Good results or bad? Any other suggestions for good fish mongers in the area?
