Simply Seafood

Awesome– Amazing. You want good seafood. Go to Simply Seafood. I had the clams, mussels and shrimp scampi came with a salad! My boyfriend had the shrimp scampi w salad. Nice touch they mixed in spinach /​tomatoes. Delicious clean place wonderful hosts. A must

Small restaurant with limited space, but excellent food. Had excellent mussels and sublime blacked trigger fish. Fresh offerings change day to day, and the majority of options here are not fried, which is a lovely change for this area!

What an amazing restaurant! The food is ALWAYS delicious and the seafood is always fresh! The owners are fabulous and Carlos goes above and beyond to provide awesome customer service! This is a must if you are in Dunnellon

Very good seafood. Owners aim to please and it shows. Specials that reflect the freshest choices for the day. A big surprise in a small but comfortable storefront.

If you’re a Yankee this is your place. Nothing southern about it. Small but clean. Owners try hard to make people feel welcome.

Food was great! Not the best I’ve ever had for seafood but pretty dang close! I defiantly recommend this to seafood lovers. FOOD IS VERY FRESH!

The best seafood around. It is fresh and each each item is cooked to order I have gotten some takeout from them but mostly I get the fish and cook it myself. The store is spotless and you know it’s fresh since there is no smell of fish whatsoever. At Christmas time, we had an amazing seven fish salad that was the owner’s grandfather’s recipe. Everyone at the dinner table loved it I cannot wait for next year to get this again.

This place is small but packs an amazing seafood at a great price. I had the trigger fish sandwich and it was amazing along with the seafood soup. The seafood soup had an assortment of mixed seafood in a tomato base and was out of this world.
Don’t let the small size fool you, this place is for real. Awesome place for an out of town-​er.

I just love simply seafood. I have never had their takeout but I buy all my seafood here and even have family memebers that drive over 40 mins just to buy seafood from simply seafood. The staff is always friendly and the store is always spotless.

My family and I went to this restaurant tonight for my birthday and all I can say is, you need to try it. And honestly, I hesitate to even say it because I’d love to keep this gem to myself but for the benefit of the owners, they deserve all the business Dunnellon has. The food is superb — we had lobster bisque, salads, white fish dip, blue crab, shrimp scampi, shrimp ala vodka, rosemary salmon and a crab cake. I’ll start backwards, the crab cake was the best I’ve ever had and I’ve been to New England, Hawaii and several Caribbean islands where the food *should* be this good. These people know their way around a crab. Okay, next up is the scampi — excellent! The shrimp weren’t overcooked or rubbery, it wasn’t too garlicky and the pasta was al dente. My husband said the shrimp ala vodka was fantastic too. I tasted it and have to agree. My mom had the salmon and it was cooked well and not too rosemary-​y (this place is so good, I’ve started making up words!).
The owners are lovely. So lovely, in fact, you almost forget they’re New Yorkers ;) John and Deborah treat you like you’re sitting in their dining room. We talked to them like they were old friends.
It’s a small place so make sure you make a reservation. And if you can hang out and talk to the owners. And, the chef. He’s a masterful cook and pleasant guy who will cook pretty much anything you ask for (if you give him some notice).
I highly recommend this hidden gem!

I have been waiting to see this restaurant to pop up on Unilocal to write a review. We went about a month ago. Only a couple of tables and a bar with a few stools but we had no problem to get a table. I ordered the special that was seafood piccata. It had mussels clams and shrimp over angel hair pasta. It was delicious and so fresh as it should be since they own the fresh seafood next door. I had to take half of it home it was such a big portion. We also ordered the blackened swordfish that came with a side of fresh green beans. Excellent. We were afraid it might be to spicy but it wasn’t. It had just the right amount of seasoning. She also brought us a taste of her oyster soup. Also good. When we were getting ready to leave she also informed us if there is something you would like that is not on the menu just ask and they will make it for you. When your done go next door and buy some fresh fish dip sold in containers that the owner makes herself. You will not be disappointed

We tried their lobster bisque and New England clam chowder while at a Christmas street fair. Both were tasty, but we enjoyed the clam chowder more. It was chunky with big pieces of clams and it wasn’t too creamy. The lobster bisque on the other had no chunks and was very creamy. $ 5 for a bowl of chowder and $ 6 for a bowl of the bisque. The staff was friendly and they had a guy dressed up as a lobster. Can’t say no to that!
