FYI all you seafood lovers - he will not be there next weekend 'cause someone is taking vacation and he has to be at the store. Will return the following weekend and hopes to have an actual store in place starting with the floor in the fall. Good news, eh????

Thanks for the report, Pa and Giggi,
I would never have stopped there without a recommendation. We love fresh seafood and will check them out next time we are down. :mmmm:

Can't wait to have another seafood dinner.
If you look at the bag of scallops at Sams Club you will see that they are injected with water. The best scallops "Dry" have not been injected. On sale here 60 miles from Portland Me. $15.99 reg. $19.99.

To bkcunningham1 if you are comming from LSL over the bridge, when you reach the set of lights you will take a right. That is 466, and within 1 min after you drive by the buildings of businesses, you will see a farm stand surrounded by trees on your left. Lighthouse is to the left of the stand selling fruits and veggies and the ice cream is to the right of the farm stand towards the front of the building.
Once you stop by you will probably realize that you have driven by all along and just didn't know that this was a hidden gem.
Thank you very much for the information. My husband knew instantly as soon as I read him your post. We drove by there today. No ice cream on Sunday though. We had to settle for High Five Yogurt. (I wasn't impressed with the yogurt place to be honest.)

I agree that this is the best and freshest seafood around TV. I know it looks scary to buy seafood from a truck vendor but It comes from Lighthouse Seafood in Lake Mary. The vendor is very knowledgable and friendly. All of the fish is caught daily by spear fishers. They do carry frozen Chilean Seabass and Salmon and will be offering some frozen products made in their store in Lake Mary such as key lime pie, grouper cakes, crab stuffed potabello mushrooms and more. They will not be there next week but should resume the normal schedule after that. You may call for information and special orders at 407-271-3432..BTW, I don't think they catch the shrimp with tiny little spears. :-). It would be great if they do open a storefront here.

Wow, perrjojo. Thanks for the information. You certainly know a lot about Lighthouse Seafood.

We have only been here 3 months but are Lighthouse regulars.

Ol' Jim, wife and some friends getting ready for some REAL fish. Crappie and Bluegill caught (not by me) this spring in the Midwest. Nothing better. But will have to try Lighthouse Seafood when we return to TV.

bkcunningham1 07-03-2012 05:26 PM
We are going to have to give it a try. When will they be back at 466?

When I rented in Mira Mesa last month I noticed Lighthouse Seafood when I drove on 466. I will be back in TV in October -- are they open year round, or just during certain times of the year? I may want to check them out in October. Thanks in advance.

I am glad the OP took time to post because my wife and I stay clear of such vendors. My favorite fish are haddock, scallops shellfish halibut and cod. Hmm guess will stop by.

I also thought they meant the Lighthouse Restaurant on Lake Sumter Landing.......where we ate many many many times as the seafood was so delicious; we also felt we were transported back to a Maine seacoast vacation..........we brought our visitors there as well , eating out on the deck overlooking the lake..........it was really nice. But, we never saw a seafood truck on 466.

senior citizen -- if you check out post #13 on this thread, directions are given from LSL. It is on the north side of 466. If you are driving west on 466 and get to Morse Blvd., you have gone past Lighthouse Seafood's truck.
