Gandy Seafood Cajun Market Murfreesboro

Not living on the coast, we are so happy we found an actual seafood market! We live an hour away, but kind of in the middle of nowhere. I had a craving for seafood and if Walmart in the closest town doesn't sell it, then we're plum out of luck. This Gandy's had 5-star reviews so we were excited to make the drive and give it a try.This store is a friendly family business, owned and operated by two brothers. The service they gave was stellar, freely sharing their knowledge to help you find just what you want/need, and not pushy or rushing you along. Everything looked and smelled really fresh. On the day we visited, they had a good selection. The owner said he typically updates their Facebook page at least 5 times a day, keeping customers informed of what they have available. They can also order specific requests!!For $3 over market price, they'll prepare any of their fresh selections right there for you. What a deal! There's a great offering of veggies as well. There's a dining area so we tried the red snapper and it was absolutely wonderful. Another customer recommended to us the frozen crawfish pie which we scooped up for later. We also added some catfish and XL red shrimp for the freezer. They have a nice freezer sampling where hubby spotted some gator to try. We threw in some spices as they have a good Cajun spice selection. They did a wonderful job packing our purchases on ice for the trip back home. Once these are depleted from our freezer, we WILL be back!Other reviewers commented on this place being expensive. Three things: 1. If you haven't noticed, everything is expensive these days. 2. The prices weren't far off from what you'd pay in any coastal fish market. Considering their supplier drives it up fresh from the Gulf daily, it certainly wasn't unreasonable. You'll definitely spend much more for a bland dinner for 2 at any sit-down restaurant. 3. The seafood is fresh, unlike the often smelly, slimy old counter fish you find at Kroger. There is just no comparison.Be warned: You'll have a tough time choosing just one item!

The customer service and quality here is top notch. I have always bought all my local fresh seafood here, but it is now my new go to spot for Crawfish as well.

Biggest shout-out to bubba gandy's!!! I have been craving FRESH seafood for months. I work everyday that they are open. The owner of the establishment offered to open on a Sunday for me! Let me tell you. These are the best head on shrimp I've had since leaving Louisiana! Made me feel right at home. The owner is the nicest! Can't wait for them to get more blue crabs in! Highly highly recommend. And will be back!!!!

As a first-time customer, I was impressed to see owner and chef Ben personally inspecting a new shipment of live crayfish from Louisiana, ensuring that each one was alive and discarding any that didn’t make the journey. This attention to detail speaks volumes about the quality and care behind this market. Ben also welcomes special orders and is a delight to chat with—he really knows his stuff. I went in looking for fresh oysters and found that he offered a variety to choose from. I ended up purchasing enough seafood to last me a week! Don't just walk—run to this fantastic spot!

Ben, the owner, is a fantastic person and his food is absolutely delicious! Despite handling everything on his own, the service was still exceptional. There wasn’t much of a wait, and everything was perfect! If you’re in the Boro and craving fresh seafood, Gandy is the place to go!
