Shore to Door Brings Local Fish and More to Coconut Grove
As a fisherman, Ozols is beyond picky about his fish, even bordering on obsessive. “I’m not trying to outsource to anywhere,” he says. “If the yellowtail aren’t running, so be it; we’ll find hog snapper.”
Along with snagging those yellow-eyes, Ozols also procured silky snapper from fisherman friends in the Bahamas, but the rest of the goods, he says, come from up and down Florida’s coast. It’s hard to predict when he’ll have what. The fisheries regulators, such as the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, along with the ocean, are the ones determining what you’ll eat. But expect the haul to rotate among the many varieties of snapper, grouper (mostly red, occasionally black), wahoo, king mackerel, and mahi-mahi. One of the shellfish Ozols says he’s looking to carry are West Florida white shrimp and sweet little bay shrimp (best when caught at night) whenever they’re available.
What’s more, the shop will deliver fish to your doorstep, free of charge, within a certain radius, Funes says. At the moment, delivery, usually done by Funes herself, is available in Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, and as far north as the Rickenbacker Causeway. “Just give me a few hours to make sure I have the fish on hand,” Ozols says. “And tips are always appreciated.”
