One of the biggest advantages of choosing to stay in a vacation rental during your Gulf Shores / Orange Beach vacation is that it allows you to craft incredible home-cooked meals. Fully equipped kitchens and large dining spaces provide opportunities for evenings spent gathered around the table with your friends and family members, enjoying dinner together and sharing stories. Naturally, some of the best dinner items are fresh, local seafood, which are abundant in the Gulf Shores / Orange Beach area. We've selected a couple of our favorite local seafood markets. At these family-owned and operated stores, you can select from local favorites such as shrimp, oysters, flounder, grouper, trigger, and much more.
At Gulf Shores Seafood, located adjacent from Waterville USA, choose from fresh local catches, such as crawfish, yellowfin tuna, grouper, crab meat, premium steaks, and much more. Gulf Shores Seafood is also known for their seafood dips, which are a perfect appetizer to kick off your at-home seafood feast. For directions, hours of operation, and more, click here.
