Goat Feathers

In Blue Mountain Beach area Goatfeathers has a restaurant.


.

There's a Goatfeather's Seafood market in Seagrove and a Market w/ Restaurant above in Blue Mountain.

They're local and have been around for years, but are not my first choices for either dining or seafood procurement.

We've been to goatfeathers to buy seafood, but is there a restaurant by that name too? Any recommendations?

Actually, the restaurant in in Santa Rosa Beach right across from my house. It is typical beach fare with decent prices. They do have a good early bird special from 4-6. The Mrs loves their scallops. If you want casual and easy with not a lot of emphasis on the food, they are a good choice. We like going there for the convenience of it...

Where to buy fresh seafood?

What are some of the recommendations along 30A to buy fresh seafood to cook at home?

Used to buy at Goatfeathers

I used to go to Goatfeathers to buy my seafood, but got tired of the poor attitudes... Publix works great for me.

Look upstairs when you are at Goatfeathers' Seafood Market, in Blue Mtn Beach.

SingingChicken, you state that their focus isn't on the food. I'm curious to know where you think they focus. I agree that the emphasis isn't on the food. I hear many people brag on Goatfeathers, so it must work for some, just not me.

There aren't many places. There are the two Goatfeather markets, I think there is another market east of Yianni's, WaterColor Publix has some seafood, but I'm not sure if any of it is local seafood. Then, there is Shrimper's, but it isn't on 30A. Shrimpers is located on hwy 98, just east of western intersection of 30A/98.

No no...If your / my emphasis isn't on food not theirs...meaning you're not going there expecting a Zagat rated 5 star meal. Don't get me wrong. I love the place. We walk across the street multiple times during our stays. They do great beach food and provide a great family oriented restaurant. If you're looking for a place to go where you know it's going to be good all the time and aren't expecting a McCormick and Schmick's type meal, it's awesome. That's what I was trying to convey. Guess I worded it wrong...

I see. Thanks for clarifying.

See, I told you that there are people who brag on Goatfeather's.

Oh, Jfunn and I "worked" at Goatfeathers for 30 minutes. I saw the kitchen, and peaced OUT. Gross, gross, gross.

Just first hand experience. I think people know it's not amazing, but they still go there.

Ah ha! Gotcha! I feel educated, now...

I don't know if I would like to look behind those doors...that actually applies to most places. I'd just rather not know.

I tend to stick with the big salads, the gumbo, and raw oysters when in season. I've made my contribution of shells to their drieveway...

Until I saw Kimmifun's reply I thought you meant she was one who bragged on it. Boy was I wrong!

me not go.....

Goatfeathers needs an overhaul..the restaurant is lacking....great location, the fish market is usually pretty good....really good during season because everything is more fresh...they move it out the door more quickly....

I'm in the minority I guess; I love their steamed shrimp with the Old Bay seasonings to go. I get mine from Seagrove and they have always been very nice to me, sometimes even staying a little later so I could get there.

My parents like the early bird special at BMB - a good value.
