About Benny
Born and raised in Florida, Benny Barker knows quality seafood. Although his earlier career found him in the investment industry, his true passion has always been fishing and enjoying locally-caught Florida seafood.
Frustrated by the subpar quality seafood in fish markets and imported frozen options on restaurant menus, Benny was determined to bring back the Old Florida seafood experience and taste. A few years ago, he took a risk and left his investment career to invest in a business he loves – seafood.
Benny began working with seafood suppliers throughout the state of Florida as a wholesale company, traveling the state to deliver fresh seafood to restaurants and consumers. He recently shifted gears and opened a brick-and-mortar retail boutique shop where he now focuses on providing Florida seafood to locals in Port Richey.
His mission is to make seafood buying an easy, enjoyable, and educational experience. When he’s not dishing up fish, he’s on the water with his wife and three-year-old daughter.
