I.C. Sharks Seafood Market

Dis place is AMAZING!!! My Husband & I found it on our trip and went back 2 days in a row. It feels like we are sitting in the Florida Keys just chillin. The fresh Seafood, Friendly on point staff, Waterfront Seating, Island Style Music, ext… I could move here just to go Eat & Chill there EVERYDAY. The Seafood chowder, Snapper sandwich, The Crab Cake, Ice cream, yummy. Much love

Went here to check out the fresh seafood. I was pleasantly surprised, they had a good selection. Ended up getting some Tuna, was very fresh and tasted excellent.
The store is clean and does not smell like other fish markets. I will be going back to get some seabass and maybe some other seafood I have never tried.

I purchased 4 lbs «sushi grade Ahi» last week for an appetizer for a party of 70.
The quality was not up to par. My guests enjoyed all that I prepared except for the tuna. Besides the color not being exceptional, the taste wasn’t either.
So, I went into I c sharks today and mentioned to the fishmonger what happened and he proceeded to tell me he doesn’t use that company for product because it was not the up to par. Well, that affirmed my guests opinion of the tuna and it got under my skin. He new the fish he sold me was not good quality but didn’t even consider compensating me at all.
I did not ask for a refund or a discount but felt it was his responsibility to stand by his product.
I go to their fish market 1 – 2 times a week for whole fish and some of their smoked fish products, the selection is nice, but…
I recently moved to Florida and am looking for a high quality fish market. Any suggestions???
This is my first time using Unilocal to express dissatisfaction and I think I feel better.
They new the quality of their Sushi grade tuna was not and sold it. Then they admitted the product wasn’t up to par but…

Look folks, bottom line here. If you want the best seafood, freshest seafood, most knowledgeable monger, their prices are low on the list as to why you shop here. Sure you can get seafood cheaper at Publix, Winn Dixie, or places similar. But you will not get anywhere near the quaility or taste. How about a whole Grouper right off the boat? Got lucky when the fisherman came in, and it was in my belly that night. Please enjoy.

Always fresh seafood and friendly staff to help you out! Wish we could get a traffic signal there for easier access LOL.

Smoked fish dip was simple but gnarly awesome. Shrimp exceeded expectations too. Reese’s pie is outsourced and pretty righteous. Ask for Cassandra as your server.

I.C.Sharks is a cool restraunt with some great sea food. To me I say you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, all the sea food is fresh and very tasty. Tonight I had the blackened Mahi fish tacos and they were great. Although I would ask for something other then the chips, they didn’t seem very fresh and were a tad stale. For those who don’t know about Sharks, the seating is all out side and feels like a get away from life because it’s super relaxing. This place is a must visit. Make sure to check out the fresh catch market in the front of the restraunt.

Went to IC sharks seafood market and walked out with probably the freshest seafood I’ve gotten in the area and great tips on cooking and great service. Next time I will stop by the tiki bar/​restaurant since the patio looks like a great place to relax.

Had me as a loyal customer until his past Sunday when Corey sold us 10 culls and charged us $ 27 for them, we even tipped. He covered them up with ice real quick so we didn’t know what we had until we got home. We stopped by a place on 49^th to get a few dozen more crabs for our family feast. When we got home the crabs from 49^th were alive and well and the ones from IC Sharks were dead. When we initially walked up he said he was out and then as we walked away he said he was just kidding that he would sell me the 10 he had left. I asked him if we needed to pay inside like we usually do and he said no, to just bring my cooler around. Shady practice. We had to throw them out later. Absolutely crappy.

Very disappointed with the seafood purchased at the store. We’ve been going here for several years and were always satisfied with the Black Grouper. The last two times were a complete bust; Swordfish was dry and tasted fishy and the Sea Scallops were absolutely tasteless.

This review is long overdue as I am a regular here. I C Sharks is a golden ticket to seafood euphoria. I have been all over the nation for great seafood and I C Sharks is an A+ in my book. The fish is extremely fresh and their selection is second to none. They always have fresh daily caught fish/​shrimp and the prices are very reasonable. I love their homemade spreads (including their tartar sauce). The gent behind the counter is very nice and really makes you feel welcome. He often advises me on how to cook my fish to give it that extra zest which I love. They are currently in the process of making a restaurant in the back of their shop, which I will definitely become a regular at.

Fresh as it gets! This place is awesome. They have the best crab cakes I have had anywhere… restaurant or otherwise. Locally caught thing you never see in a market like Sheephead, Porgies and Trout that you know they caught that day. Seasonal items like the Royal Red shrimp… crazy good like little buttered lobster tails. They make great chowder and you can drink an ice cold beer while your deciding what’s for dinner. You guys rock!

I C Sharks doesn’t get any fresher unless you catch it yourself. Located on the Gandy it’s easily accessible to St. Pete or South Tampa. They always have fresh caught selection of any crustaceans daily. The abundance of caught shrimp, fish and whatnot’s are suitable for any budget. Tonight I purchased grouper and key west shrimp, before i even started cooking I had to see if the fish/​shrimp were still alive. I was appreciative that the gentleman behind the counter was interested what I was cooking and made suggestions accordingly.
This hidden gem is also a restaurant and boat rental. I have attend a boil or two in the last few years but continue to buy some of Tampa Bay’s finest seafood from this particular establishment. Check their fb or website for updates!

There is a lot going on at this place. It’s a nice fish market and a place to get bait– right on the water. The people there were super friendly and very nice. They are working on building a tiki bar and restaurant on the back on the water that I am excited to check back after a few more months to experience. The only bad thing is the parking area isn’t great. I hope when they open the restaurant they upgrade and expand their parking area.

Simply the best Seafood Market in Tampa Bay. It’s really out of the way for me and I still go at least once a month. They’ve got a great selection that fresh with fair pricing. They are definitely the place to go during crawfish season! The guys that work there are also great. I swear one day I’m going to grab a beer in there and hang out for a little bit. They are funny, friendly and knowledgable. They also know how the cook their bounty. Ever tip I’ve taken from them has paid off.
Also, try their smoked fish spread. They usually have it sitting in a bucket of ice so they can ensure a sale– this stuff is that good. They make their own Datil Pepper Sauce to go on them. This stuff doesn’t last in my house. It’s good on everything from a cracker to seafood to pork to chicken. Hell, it might be good on ice cream.
They’ve been working on the bar/​restaurant behind the store for over a year. I’m excited to check it out when they open it. It’ll be a pretty view and if it’s anything like the store the waitstaff will make you feel like you’re hanging out with old friends.

Quick hop over the Gandy bridge, ½ way to St Pete, this place has pretty much taken over for what Trapman’s was… or at least they try. This place has awesome fresh fish! Straight off the boat and will clean it, filet it, skin it, steam it, whatever you want!
They are typically a friendly bunch, unless you catch crazy Maddy on an off day or ask for something just a tiny bit different than just your normal cut-o-fish…but he’ll get the job done and better and FASTER than anyone else! Perfect cuts of whatever you want (of whatever they have)…if you’re on their mailing list you’ll know when all the best stuff is in and you can jump on over and get top picks if you get there in time!
Our favorites are the hogfish snapper, the large key west pink shrimps, chilean sea bass, a bag-​o-​clams, and oh those nice big oysters!
Greatest fish shop around!
It’s just a bit pricey, but worth it when they’ll do whatever you want with it!

My wingman tipped me off to the quality of this seafood market and he was right on target. Curt provided me with the spices and a wonderful piece of line caught swordfish to have a wonderful meal at home for a very reasonable price. I look forward to going to IC in the future as my fishmonger of choice!
Excellent presentation of daily catches, outstanding customer service and overarching vibe of freshness and quality.

Oh yes. Go immediately to this place, buy a filet of snapper, and experience what it is like to eat TRULY FRESH fish.
I cannot explain to you what it is like to eat a truly fresh piece of fish. It does not smell fishy. It does not taste fishy. It is not rubbery. It is not dry.
It just tastes like deliciously sweet flakes of heaven.
Red snapper. Go get some while it’s in season.

Best damn crab cakes! Mostly lump crabmeat & not a lot of filler! Just like our favorite place on MD, G & M Seafood! Buy em, take it home, brown in a little butter & finish off in 400 degree oven for a few minutes! Yum yum!

BEST place to purchase live blue crabs!
I’ve been coming here for years for this very reason. They used to have them only periodically but a couple of years ago, they redid their market and now they always have an ample supply of blue crabs in various sizes.
The market is clean, and their fish is fresh and reasonably priced. Good service too. I wish I still lived close by because down here in Miami, live blue crabs are hard to come by!
