If you’re like me, summer in Florida means sun, sand, sea, and fresh seafood. I can’t even think about hitting the sand before craving a grouper sandwich. Growing up in Tampa, I’ve had a lot of great grouper sandwiches but sometimes you don't want to just settle for any and you want the best!

Let me save you some trouble. If you’re craving a Grouper Sandwich head to Southern Seafood in South Tampa. At Southern Seafood, you are guaranteed to get the freshest, tastiest Grouper Sandwich in town.  Unlike most restaurants or seafood shops in town, Southern Seafood operates their OWN BOATS in the Gulf of Mexico to supply all of the seafood in their store. And if they can’t catch it, one of their trusted partners or friends can. It’s fresh, off the boat seafood from a source you can trust.

Now, back to THE sandwich.  A heaping portion of Fresh Caught Gulf Grouper, lettuce, onion, tomato, and fresh tarter sauce served on a grilled bun. You can add cheese if you like, provolone is my favorite. Hope you have a lot of napkins! You’re gonna need them when chowing down on this delicious sandwich.

For something a little different, I’m also in love with the Grouper Reuben. Loaded with Fresh Caught Gulf Grouper, dazzled with special sauce, kraut and cheese, toasted on rye bread. Pure Deliciousness.

Grouper not your thing? Don’t worry. They also have a kick-ass Shrimp Po’ Boy, an insanely good Devil Crab, a Crab Cake salad, and a selection of raw seafood like clams and oysters that you can eat in their restaurant or take out to the beach, the boat, a pool party or whatever fun place you’re headed.

Prefer to be the chef? Southern Seafood always has a great selection of freshly caught fish ready for your kitchen. Get ready for some of the freshest grouper, yellow fin tuna, snapper, mahi-mahi, oysters, clams, and shrimp in the Tampa Bay area.

Located right on S. Westshore, dine in or take out, for the freshest seafood in South Tampa and the best darn Grouper Sandwich in Tampa, head on down to Southern Seafood. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
