I think you mean Cedar River.

Bonefish Grill, Villages This is a chain, but very good and local

Surkua, Villages Excellent Sushi
Lighthouse, Villages Just OK IMO
O'Shucks Oyster bar, Wildwood, Mostly just Oysters, but also great burgers
Quarterdeck, Umatilla Good Variety
Eaton Beach Off 42 on Lake Weir. Decent selection, but great views
Whales Tail Fish House, Mt Dora
Catfish Johnnys, Lake Panasoffkee Catfish is the house speciality
Stumpknockers on the River, Dunnellon
Blackwater Inn, Aster Lots of Florida unique items.
Mullett Hole Tavern, Crystal River
310 Lakeside, Orlando Good selection of local seafood.
Just how many of these places are selling "fresh, never frozen ocean seafood" as the OP asked"....close to none!!

Which one[s] are selling "fresh never frozen"? Please share what you know.

Thanks to all who responded. You've all been most helpful. And to my fellow Michiganders, you are all right. Nothing quite like fresh lake perch and fresh caught Walleye.

Thanks again for the responses. Looking forward to meeting some nice people on our preview visit.

Have to wait until summer.
Maybe they could bring us some before the lake freezes over.:smiley:

Actually they all do except the three in The Villages. Skaura is fresh, but Sushi.

Bonefish is OK, but I'd be shocked if any of the fish were fresh. I've given up and purchase fish at Lighthouse Seafood (Brownwood Farmers Market on Saturdays or the red barn on 466) and cook it myself.

We bought a Traeger smoker/grill. It is the most amazing thing we ever bought. Fish, chicken, pork and beef just to die for. Uses wood pellets in different flavors. Juicy, tender and oh so flavorful.

I love to cook at home.

I hope it's not this model. It's way too big. You could cook a tuna in that one.

Can you name the restaurants that serve seafood that is not frozen? Or are you wasting everyone's time.

LOL......No, I am not trying to waste your valuable time.....I am just pointing out how few places, especially around here, sell fresh, never frozen seafood.
