skip one 41 - seafood restaurant and market

i have been buyingseafoodat the market for about four years and it’s always great. i had company in town and decided to take them there for dinner, my first time. we where very disappointed. the grouper was fishy tasting and my coconut shrimp was dry and the shrimp was old i think. i’m not going back to eat there, buyseafoodand fix at home.

not bad. not great. would eat here again if i don't find anotherseafoodplace better in fort myers. i had the skip one platter blackened. decent!

skip 1seafoodmarket 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 oceanseafoodplatter. 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.

hidden little gem. they have a small selection of freshseafoodwhich 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.

greatseafooddinner. we enjoyed ourseafoodplatter dinners tonight, and fish sandwiches earlier in the week. great service, food yummy and tasteful, big portions, reasonable prices. all tables full w diners and skip 1 must be a local favorite. i highly recommend this restaurant. snowbirds enjoy!

had just fished all day and were driving home when we saw theseafoodsign. 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!

delicious as always. i made a repeat trip over the weekend. yes, i will admit to "snow birding". skip1 has the freshestseafoodin the area. it's not much of a place for "décor" and the fresh fish case is right in your face when you enter the door. but, the freshness and flavor makes up for it. you can't go wrong with the chowder and do not pass up the stone crab, when in season. but my favorite by far is the steamed spicy shrimp. they are not "hot/heat" spicy, but bathed in a buttery sauce full of dried spices. simply amazing and so fresh they melt in your mouth. i don't care for most of the side dishes -- just belly filler--- and stick to the mainseafooditems. the service has always been super friendly. i'm ready to go back.

not friedseafoodonly!. the previous reviewer, erin/andy or whoever, is incorrect. any of theseafoodat skip one can be prepared broiled, grilled, fried, or broiled cajun style. i have never even heard of deep fried salmon! if the reviewer didn't ask the server if his fish could be prepared differently, that is the fault of the reviewer. their deep-fried seafood, especially shrimp, is exceptional...but you are not limited to fried seafood.

we where looking for fresh greatseafoodwith atmosphere not so important! we stumbled upon skip one! theseafoodwas fantastic the menu diverse and the price of dinner was surprising very affordable family friendly in all ways!

good friedseafoodmeal. not designed for dining atmosphere, but the fried grouper and shrimp were fresh and tasty.

not going back. 6/22/13 cute place,friendly staff,smells like a bait house (yes..lots ofseafoodplaces have an oder..this was strong) clam chowder was thick and gritty, grilled combo,6 tasteless shrimp and small piece of overcooked mahi.$17..friend had house salad,ok, grouper sandwich was ok $16. maybe it was a bad night for them,but we wont be going back.

we had the king crab legs with conch fritters app. pretty much the bestseafoodi've ever had!! would recommend this place to anyseafoodlover.

it's the kind of place that should be featured on diners, drive ins, and dives. dumpy building, but some of the bestseafoodi've had since moving to florida. the conch chowder was really flavorful. the fried oysters were plump and not at all greasy. the fried gator was the most tender i've ever had. so good! proof one more time that you can trust a full parking lot when choosing an eating place.

i have been here before. i took my for lunch recently and she love it. the bestseafoodwe ever had. five stars all the way.

wow! delicious! we never would have stopped of we didn't read the reviews! total hole in the wall but bestseafoodin the area! the coconut shrimp were huge and u get about nine of them plus two sides! the clam chowder was so thick and hearty! don't pass this place up!
