Just moved to the area and needed a meat market. This one is above average. The staff very friendly and knowledgeable as I am from a whole different area of the world and needed help with meat cuts. The Chicken Kebabs "teriyaki" AMAZING = "why make them?". They had four marinated chicken Kebabs - could use them in any dish - like pasta. I made them with Saffron Rice and Asparagus "so good". Use Chuck Roast for a Crock Pot Dinner we always make - but they had another cut. The flavor was good but may need marinated for tenderness. I know Florida is not the "beef capital" but all in all very good. The Shrimp (bought Jumbo Key Shrimp) was AMAZING. My husband loved it so much we will be having shrimp a lot. Clean; Great Service!: Very Knowledgeable - Pleasant shopping experience all around! I miss my small town where you would first go to grocery, then fruit and vege market then meat market. However Land and Sea will make living in Florida so much easier to feed my family. Now I have to find the best Farmers Markets or drive to the Red Barn. Land & Sea is AWESOME and so glad it is so close. YUMMY! One more thing; I would agree with the rating that states "better than Publix" - absolutely! We like Publix seafood bag but there was some fishiness and too much goop with...
Read moreBeing new to FL, I was super excited to actually find a seafood market that wasn't across the bay. I stopped in to get some grouper, and the filets looked fine so I got some. These were, by far, the fishiest tasting grouper I have ever eaten. We didn't even eat it, it was so bad. I don't know if it was previously frozen, old, or not local, but based on this experience I will not be back. We're practically on the ocean. Anything other than fresh and wonderful is not ok. Also, the ground chuck looked like it had been exposed to the air for quite some time. The steaks looked fine, so maybe they are more know for the "Land" part of their name. Also, the man behind the counter told me that the ground chuck for $3something a pound was grass fed. I highly doubt it! I don't know, and I will...
Read moreWe are from out of town and I wanted to find a butcher for a 5 lb prime rib Christmas dinner. Found Land and Sea Tampa Palms online and read the reviews. I called to order and they suggested their house seasoning. I didn’t have to put any money down. They called the day before my pickup to verify with me. The roast was tied and seasoned when I arrived.
I used the reverse sear method: 225 degrees till center reached 115(about 3 hrs). Rested for 45 mins and back in oven at 510 for 10 mins. Medium Rare ALL the way thru. No gray ring! It was the best prime rib I can recall. Very impressed!! House seasoning is a must.
They have lots of meat and seafood. There are all’s sides you can buy also. We bought the twice baked...
