Can't Escape? Then Dive In...to The Seafood Dive

While this blog focuses on The Great Escape from Sun City Center, it's nice to know that we finally have a great seafood option right here in town!
The Seafood Dive opened in February 2011 with a clever name (think diving into the ocean for your meal) and a casual, friendly atmosphere. Decorated with a beachy fishing theme that was inspired by the owner's love of fishing, the real hit here is the food. Well prepared favorites like Alaskan Cod, Farm Raised Catfish and Mahi Mahi are a hit and you'll enjoy their Gator Tail, Fried Pickles and Sandwich Baskets.
On my last visit I chose the diet friendly Broiled Alaskan Cod with steamed greenbeans and coleslaw. The portions are very generous and I had to take some home which I enjoyed the next day for lunch. The cod was deliciously seasoned and cooked perfectly. Sure I cheated a little and had one hush puppy but it was worth the few extra calories.
Owner Kaz with his many years of restaurant experience has been successful in overcoming the biggest hurdle facing restaurant businesses in Sun City Center - he offers delicious affordable food and provides excellent customer service.....and people keep coming back. The Seafood Dive is here to stay and cares about giving back to the community by generously participating in local chamber and church group fund raising events.
An altogether pleasant dining experience with a friendly and efficient waitstaff. And now that the cooler weather has arrived, you'll enjoy eating outdoors on the Dry Dock. www.theseafooddive.com
