BROAD IN THE BEAM:
\nFor Over Thirty Years Mariner\u2019s Offers a Vast Array of Fresh Seafood<\/b><\/h1>\n

The shiny, succulent stone crab claws almost cry out to be tasted at Mariner\u2019s Seafood, seen readily through the perfectly polished glass.<\/p>\n

Manager Kerry Loesch, who has had over 50 years of experience in the seafood business, eagerly selects a pound\u2019s worth of claws for a customer, as he offers to crack them. With a shy smile, Loesch is proud of the varied selection at Mariner\u2019s which includes Scottish salmon, bronzino, and Alaskan cod.<\/p>\n

Loesch is helpful as well as knowledgeable as he cheerfully offers background on some of the selections. For instance, the Scottish salmon is farm raised using no antibiotics in pens located in the sea off\u00a0 <\/span>the Faroe Islands in their most natural environment. The bronzino is a mild fish which has one of the \u201cleast fishy\u201d tastes around. The wild Alaskan salmon has more omega oil, a healthful nutrient, than many other types of salmon available today, and has a stronger taste.<\/p>\n

Like the salmon and the cod, the bronzino which is originally from\u00a0Spain, are flown into Mariner\u2019s every other day. For local delicacies, Mariner\u2019s uses its own vessels to fish yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, dolphin, wahoo, black grouper, and snowy grouper to list just few of\u00a0their diverse offerings.<\/p>\n

Bob Miller, a long time loyal customer, has memories of Mariner\u2019s dating back to the Jimmy Carter administration. As Miller recalls, he ran a contracting business which suffered under the wake of interest rate hikes. One of his former employees used his generous severance to fulfill a dream, becoming Mariner\u2019s first owner.<\/p>\n

The current owners, Geoff and Shantae Sandow have continued the South Miami tradition of providing the community with fresh, delicious seafood.<\/p>\n

What are the most popular products at Mariner\u2019s? According to Loesch, that would be yellowtail snapper, salmon, and of course, the South Florida favorite, stone crabs.\u00a0In season since October 15, Mariner\u2019s braces itself for the high demand particularly over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Seafood lovers who value\u00a0freshness will be pleased to note that Mariner\u2019s catches its stone crabs as well as lobster using\u00a0their own traps.<\/p>\n
