Default I am so very picky, and this seafood.......

has the best I have ever had. The Lighthouse Seafood on 466 has the freshest seafood and the owner selling his product really knows his stuff. He only carries fish from the USA and all his seafood is fresh from that morning. We got the scallops and the shrimp. (I only eat haddock and scallops). Coming from New England I thought I would never eat good scallops again.

Wow, my husband and I couldn't believe how great our dinner was tonight because it was so fresh and the quality was so high. We will be back again and again, and I also ordered a key lime pie that is made by his mom from scratch that we will pick up at a later time.

By the way,my husband also tried an ice cream cone from the trailer in the parking lot closer to the farm stand. The homemade ice cream was absolutely delicious. Back home there are home made ice cream stands everywhere, and I miss that. Great to know that now we know there is a great place to go to when we want a quality ice cream cone.

Try the Lighthouse Seafood and put some seafood on the grill. You won't regret it. They are there Friday, Saturday, & Sunday from 1:00 to 5:30pm Their phone number is: 407-271-3432

Thank you, that is sooo good to know. I pass by often but am a little leery of buying fish from the side of the road. I will try them. I eat fish every single day if I can, but I can't eat shell fish (allergy) so I will look forward to buying it from them. But can't promise about the ice cream, I am trying to take off some pounds I put on lately.

Nothing greater than a wonderful fish meal... ummmmmm.

We also got some seafood there, and agree with you that it is very fresh. AND, yes the scallops are delicious, and soft. He dosn't get there till after 1:00pm on days he is scheduled to be there. You can stop by, to get menu of fish he can get, or you can order fish ahead for a few days in advance. You might pay a little more, but FRESH is worth it!!

Can someone tell me where on 466 these places are located. I had to read it three times because I thought you meant the Lighthouse Restaurant at Sumter Landing, which has a delicious scallop basket with pineapple tartar sauce to die for. Anyway, back to the seafood and ice cream. Where exactly?

bk - on 466 between rolling acres rd and morse blvd - right between the fruit stand and the strip mall with paramount urgent care - back off the road under some sort of sun structure - just a truck with coolers.

The Lighthouse is one of our favorite seafood restaurants when we are back in TV.

I have heard nothing but good stuff from my neighbors who buy his fish. One neighbor is from the Maryland shore and just raves about his stuff.

I agree that the Lighthouse truck offers an excellent selection of 'fresh' fish.

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.

Not sure what you mean by "dry". Our scallops were so moist I could have eaten more. My husband loved his shrimp too.

Can't wait to have another seafood dinner.
