There are three ways to enjoy the fresh seafood from Apalachicola Bay and surrounding waters. You can catch it yourself, enjoy it in a restaurant or buy it from one of the area's fresh seafood markets. Today, the Seafood Days report takes us to an area seafood market. Some of the area's seafood markets even carry ready to eat cooked, steamed or smoked seafood. Are you packed yet? You only have 5 days to wait till September Seafood Days! Fall fishing season is almost upon us. If you want to learn more about the marinas and boating in Franklin County, click here.
