Amazing fried grouper sandwich with good grated sauce and garlic bread. Haven’t had a grouper sandwich that good in ages. Service was friendly and fast. Definitely worth going out of your way for.
Not bad. Not great. Would eat here again if I don't find another seafood place better in Fort Myers. I had the Skip One Platter blackened. Decent!
Great food and great service. The place was pack and I could tell why as soon as my fisherman's platter arrived. The blacked fish was excellent and the crab cakes were the best I've had. Definitely my favorite place to go in the area. I'll be back.

Skip 1 Seafood Market and Restaurant, Tamiami Trail, Fort Myers, FL., Here is my 2 cents on the food and some chit chat. Oh my the fresh food. First the in-house perfectly sweeten ice cold tea.Excellent.... My sides. In house made creamy potatoe salad with a tad of red & green bell peppers MMMMM. Fresh and crunchy coleslaw. Old school delight. Now my just got out of the ocean seafood platter. Four jumbo size local shrimp, 4 or so tender scallops, .....Crunchy though a bit chewy fried to perfection clams. A good size fish filet to add tartar sauce and malt vinegar for those English fish and chip fan. AHHHH lets not forget the 4-5 inch diameter crab cake, loaded with crab and those bell peppers for taste.
This is old school atmosphere with as it should be fresh fish. A reminder of better, slower day. The old world beach charm. With a fresh market case to select from the fish monger and carry home the next day meal.
Or if you prefer, all you want and can eat from shrimp or grouper, Sunday - Thursday entrees. at a reasonable price. Good prices of $15- 39 bucks plus in between...Or for the smaller appetite a singular but outstanding meal.
YOU Must try this 30 plus year old traditional Florida eatery.
Note: you can miss it driving south on 41/Tamiami Trail(right side). It is place back from the roadway.....It has 1 shaded handicapped space, in front of the main entrance,next to seating under some trees. There are 3 other parking spaces in front. BUT LOTS of parking in the rear of the establishment.
For all the snowbirds, newbies and old farts who has retired here , come check out this place.
Really great local seafood. Like the no frills atmosphere. My beer came in a big plastic cup. Had conch chowder and really liked it..........
Not fancy at all, which added it to us. The food was excellent, the service great. Going back again. Fish market in the front, for carry and go. If you're in fort Myers and don't stop, you're missing the boat. : )
Been going here for years. No ambiance but great food. Grilled, fried, blackened no matter what it's always good. Really good soups too. If you live close like we do great take out option too.
Hidden little gem. They have a small selection of fresh seafood which was seasoned and grilled very well, and Sunday thru Thursday have some great all you can eat specials with catfish and grouper. However the place is divey but not in a bad way so don't go in expecting a 5 star dining area and you won't be disappointed. Food is basic, but is good and service was good as well.
Great service & great food! Everything was excellent except for the crab cakes. They were average but the clam strips were some of the best I've ever had!
Had just fished all day and were driving home when we saw the seafood sign. We were up for trying something new, so stopped. We had anticipations of a dive, with great food. It lived up to our expectations! Grouper nuggets were great and a ton of them. We had the cold stone crab app with a special "mustard" sauce...delicious! Also had the fried oyster platter which was delicious. Overall, good food and good value. Glass of wine, $3.25, can't beat it!
My husband and I went here on a Friday night. We did have a bit of a wait, but it was totally worth it!! Even though they were packed there was still more than enough parking and they had several places to sit out front while waiting. Once sat, our service was above fantastic! We couldn't decide on which chowder to try. Upon suggestion from our server we tried the 'half and half', a bit of both mixed, I highly suggest a big bowl of this!!. It was SO good!! The calamari was fried just right and had a nice thin breading. We also got the Skip one Platter blackened style..all of the food was cooked Perfectly! You Must try the scallops and the half-n-half chowder!!! Such great seafood choices and the price was not bad at all for the freshness!! We will be back for sure!
Love the fresh seafood! First time back in a long time and seafood was as fresh and served hot and exactly as ordered- just as I remembered. Recommend you stop in and try this great seafood place on 41!
Visited Skip one recently, (July 2023) had a great experience. Rebecca was my hostess, she was so nice, really engaged with her customers and really made for a good experience. It was Thursday, they had all you can eat crab legs for about 55 bucks. Host said the snow crab legs are from Alaska. They are big, not the small ones you see at grocery stores, and made to order. If you get the crab legs you are able to get the fried shrimp too since the shrimp is less expensive. The shrimp they said were from the gulf caught on their own fleet of boats- that’s cool I suppose. Fried Shrimp were also great, light beer batter type coating.
I’d visit again, good stuff.

Birthday dinner for a friend. There were 10 of us, and we got a table right away. Food was delectable! The scallops were perfectly cooked. Never had grouper before and it was very good, not fishy tasting at all. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Prices were very reasonable considering everything was fresh.
When you walk in, you walk by the fish market part, so you do smell fish, but when you got to the dining room, you didn't smell it anymore.
Great little seafood + restaurant & seafood market. Fresh food & awesome choices. I had frog legs & husband had catfish. They have appetizers,salads, sandwiches, lunch combos & full meals. They have awesome happy hour(s) 3 -5 with $2 beers & great discounted appetizers too. Love this place & try to visit every time we are over here.
Bahamian conch chowder and tuna melt were so good. I hadn’t been in a while and it did not disappoint.
I didn't know what to expect from the outside but I am so glad I went in. Some of the best service and food I've eaten! 5+ stars to everyone working here! Friendly, fast, delicious.. can't beat this place!
Took our grandson here for fried gator platter ($23) My wife and I got the flounder fish sandwich on sourdough bread ($14.99) Mine was grilled and my wife’s was fried. All of the entrees were very good, tasted fresh and cooked perfectly. Not a fancy place, but they do deliver on quality & service 😎. The “to go drinks” we huge! Nice touch on a hot Florida day.
Very friendly staff, very reasonable prices, across from a Jaguar dealer on Highway 41.
The fried Gator tail was very tender and good tasting. We ordered the Tuna Melt which was very good, the Conch chowder was good and I ordered the Combo One platter with grilled Salmon and Grilled Flounder. It was served pan fried but the Flounder was excellent, Salmon was a little over cooked. The Conch Chowder and cold slaw were the two sides.
This was our first time eating here. It’s a small place but we didn’t have to wait long for a table, my husband had all you could eat crab legs and he said they were delicious. I myself do not eat seafood so my choices were limited, I had the cheeseburger. Over all if we’re ever back in the area we will eat here again.
