Coastal Seafoods
Inside Coastal Seafoods
Coastal Seafoods is a well-curated seafood market along Minneapolis’s E 24th Street known for its extensive and fresh selection of seafood, alongside a modest café setup. The vibe here is straightforward and informal, reflecting its focus on quality ingredients rather than fancy dining. It’s a spot where locals come to pick up everything from fresh fish and shellfish to pantry items like tinned fish, sausages, and cheeses, making it a handy stop for anyone wanting to bring a taste of the coast home.
The small café inside offers quick, no-frills seafood lunches that feel perfect for a casual weekday stop or a laid-back weekend outing. Outdoor picnic tables provide a relaxed setting to enjoy a meal, which is a nice perk on warmer days. The lobster rolls are a popular choice and tend to be packed with generous portions, though experiences vary with some finding them drier than expected. Fish sandwiches also feature prominently, appreciated for their flaky texture, even if sometimes they run a bit oily.
Visitors tend to appreciate the quick, friendly service and the fact that the fish is often visibly fresh, reinforcing the market’s direct connection to quality seafood. Because the focus is mostly on the market side, this isn’t a place for slow, indulgent dining but rather for grabbing a satisfying meal or stocking up on seafood for home cooking. Those who have a seafood cooking passion or simply want a reliable source of fresh local catch will find it rewarding.
People looking for a straightforward seafood lunch in a casual atmosphere, or shoppers hunting for premium seafood in Minneapolis’s Longfellow neighborhood, will find Coastal Seafoods to be a good fit. It works well throughout the week, especially around lunch hours, when the café’s food offer is fresh and the outdoor seating can be enjoyed in fair weather.
