The Real Deal

Mayport Fresh

Every crab, shrimp, and oyster is sourced from Mayport β€” one of Florida's busiest working fishing ports, just minutes away.

Cooked Right

The signature garlic butter seasoning is legendary. Cajun and Old Bay are just as good. Every tray is packed with flavor.

Small Business

Rod's is Jacksonville's own. A real neighborhood seafood market where the owner knows the regulars and the product speaks for itself.
