Fantastic seafood market! I stopped by to pick up some bait shrimp and ice, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. They had a wealth of fishing knowledge to share! Plus, the prices were amazing—I'll just leave it at that. I will definitely be returning!

Additionally, the red snapper we received had its gall bladder sliced open and left inside, resulting in a terrible smell that we only noticed when we were cleaning it at home. There were only three fresh options available: red snapper, scallops, and shrimp. The lobster and crab were frozen and imported. Next time, I’ll be making the hour-long drive to Joe Patty’s instead.

We go to Sexton's every time we're in Destin. This place is incredibly clean, and the shrimp is consistently excellent! The staff are friendly and always willing to answer questions from us tourists.

I truly believe this is the best place to buy seafood in Destin. I've visited several other restaurants and even got sick from some of them. However, this place offers fresh seafood in a clean environment.

Fresh Seafood and really nice folks to do business with. We loaded the cooler with fresh Shrimp, Snapper Filets and Royal Reds to bring home with us. They packed the cooler with Ice for our trip home!
