Skinner's Seafood
Family-run seafood market since 2004, with a steam-to-go menu and supplies for cooking at a vacation rental; seasonal hours apply.
About Skinner's Seafood
Skinner’s Seafood is both a food stop and a practical resource for an island stay with a kitchen. The family-owned market dates its operation to 2004 and offers seafood for home preparation alongside a steam-to-go menu. Its Bienville Boulevard address connects that choice with the accommodation routine, rather than requiring a conventional seated restaurant meal.
The steamer menu includes shrimp, Royal Red shrimp, available fish, blue-crab claws, scallops, snow-crab legs and oysters. Corn, red potatoes and sausages provide accompaniments; seasoning options range from plain to spicy, garlic and black pepper. Availability should be checked when ordering, especially if the desired species determines the meal.
The shop also advertises frozen locally produced prepared foods, including crab cakes, gumbo and pies, alongside produce, steaks and seasonings. A broad seafood selection does not mean every species originates in the nearby Gulf: snow crab, for example, should not be described as locally caught on the basis of the shop’s general identity.
Its published summer schedule runs through September 2026: Wednesday–Saturday 8 a.m.–6 p.m., Sunday 8 a.m.–5 p.m., closed Monday and Tuesday. The steamer closes fifteen minutes before the shop. Telephone orders are encouraged. Confirm the later-season calendar separately and plan collection before the cooking cutoff. Counter pickup and food to take home are the verified formats; dining-room seating is not established.
Google review excerpts: Two displayed reviews praise the steamed seafood and service; one recommends arranging pickup early. These are individual accounts, so availability must still be confirmed with the market.
