About us

Macker Seafood is a market specializing in fresh, local seafood, and also offering steamed carry-out meals. All of our fish is cleaned on premises, and we never sell pre-frozen or pre-packaged fillets. We also carry a wide variety of shellfish including shrimp, scallops, clams and oysters. We harvest all of our clams and oysters from Matanzas Inlet in the St. Augustine area using our own boats. If you're looking for crabs we carry live local blue crab and stone crab, and imported Alaskan snow crab clusters. Anything that we sell raw can also be steamed. We offer southern steam-pots with any of our cooked seafood as well. These include potatoes, corn, sausage and hard-steamed eggs, and are liberally seasoned with old-bay, garlic and butter (or to your liking).

History

Although Macker Seafood has only been open as a retail market since 2012, its history goes back much further than that. In 1980 Johnny Macker "The Clam Attacker" decided to pick up and leave his native state of North Carolina. In favor of a warmer climate and a healthy shellfish population, he opted for a place where he didn't know a soul: Daytona Beach, Florida. Johnny began harvesting clams and oysters from the waters of Matanzas Inlet, and never looked back. He started numerous seafood related businesses throughout the years, and had two sons along the way. His kids, Tristan and Jon, inevitably learned the family trade, and eventually opened Macker Seafood. The brothers now run the shop on a daily basis, while their dad remains heavily involved, and still does the majority of the shellfishing.
