Juniors Seafood Yulee: Freshest Catch in Town

Experience the fresh, intoxicating aroma of the coast as you step into Junior's Seafood, nestled in the heart of Yulee. Our restaurant, a beloved local gem, is more than just a place to dine; it's an experience that celebrates the bounties of the sea, aged like a fine wine, and perfectly paired with the warm, inviting charm of a waterfront homestead.

The tale of Junior's Seafood begins in the mid-90s, when Junior Pace, a veteran of the coastguard with a passion for seafood, decided to share his love for the catch of the day with the folks of Yulee. Over two decades later, this labor of love continues to thrive, with Junior and his team maintaining the same commitment to quality and service that put it on the map.

Our Signature Dishes

Junior's Seafood is renowned for its rustic charm and delectable seafood delights, but some dishes have become legendary among locals and visitors alike. Our menu is a testament to the diversity of the ocean and its flavors, with each dish telling a unique story.

No meal at Junior's is complete without sampling our signature seafood platters. These heaping piles of crustacean goodness feature a medley of Gulf shrimp, blue crab, lobster tail, and snow crab legs, all Expertly seasoned and prepared to perfection. The platters are so abundant, they're often shared among friends and family, fostering an atmosphere ofshared joy and conviviality.

Gulf Coast Shrimp

Fresh from the Gulf, our shrimp is as succulent as it is tender, a testament to the waters it calls home. We offer them fried, sautéed, or grilled, each preparation revealing a different facet of their natural sweetness. Our signature shrimp dish, the 'Shrimp Creole,' is a symphony of flavors, with the shrimp swimming in a spicy, tomato-based sauce, rich in the essence of the sea.

For those who enjoy the milder, sweeter side of shrimp, our 'Shrimp Scampi' is a dish to savor. The shrimp is sautéed in garlic, white wine, and butter, a combination that elevates their inherent sweetness to ethereal heights. Served over fettuccine, it's a pasta dish that captures the essence of the coast.

Fresh Oysters

nothing beats the satisfaction of shucking your own oyster and slurping its briny goodness. Our raw bar offers a variety of oysters, from the creamy, sweet 'Apalachicola' to the crisp, salty 'Cape May.' For those who prefer their oysters cooked, we offer a range of preparations, from 'Oysters Rockefeller' to our signature 'BBQ Oyster,' a harmonious meeting of the surf and turf.

Oysters are more than just a dish at Junior's; they're an experience. Watching the sun set over the Nassau River while enjoying these bivalve delights is a memory that lingers long after the last shell has been discarded.
