Law's Seafood - Punta Gorda

Stinky , not the cleanest one….. too hot inside …. Looks like I’ve been in 3rd world country…..

Had blue crab, shrimp and a grouper sandwich. It was all good and the service was wonderful. Nothing fancy with great prices exactly what we were looking for.

Very friendly people, hood selection and decent prices..

Staff were friendly, and despite being busy cleaning up since it was the end of the day, they were helpful as well. They didn't have any fresh lobster tail, which is what I was looking to get, but they had frozen, cold water 8oz tail for $40/lb.I purchased 1 lb. For frozen, it was ok, but nothing to write home about. I will definitely try them again when they have some fresh tail, and I will also return in the morning vs. the end of the day for a better selection.

This place gets and maybe does profitable business because it's one of the only places that is selling seafood in the area for reasonable prices. But...there is a third world country feel to the place like a market place in the Caribbean or somewhere in some parts of Africa back in the day. They could do more to reduce the smell, the flies and some of the rotting fish on display. They need to organize and rearrange the layout of the place. There are some market places with seafood counters that are much cleaner than this place. The communication between the workers is a little unsettling to watch. They're often bumping into each other. The system is not smooth. They hand writing orders the weight of the fish manually calculate your orders, so brush up on your maths just incase they get it wrong. There's a particular young guy there that seems to have switched out fish after it's already been weighed. They give you ice to preserve your fish while you commute which is a good thing but when my 16 fish is already weighed then tossed in a cooler and then a 14 replacement bagged for me it seems the ice is a part of the deception. But hey, it's Port Charlotte, there isn't much competition so you roll with the punches especially when you're a minority. Overall you get some seafood so it's all good. Like the saying goes you take what you get till you can do better.
