OUR HISTORY

Buddy’s Seafood Market was started in the late eighties by the Wood family of Port St. Joe Florida. Buddy Wood sold the shrimp from his 4th (now 5th) generation wholesale business in St. Joe “Wood’s Fisheries” and his wife Mrs. Linda would cook up her recipes on the other side of the market. It didn’t take long for the business to take off and become a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike. 
         
The Wood’s handed Buddy’s Seafood Market down to their son Edward and his wife Paula in the mid nineties and Buddy went back to the wholesale business full time. Not long after, the wholesale business was calling on Edward and he answered taking on the running of Wood’s Fisheries. Ed and Paula left for St. Joe and left Buddy’s Seafood Market in the hands of a close friend Mr. Brian Cooper. Since the late nineties Brian has owned and operated Buddy’s Seafood Market the same way it always has been. Wood’s Fisheries still supplies the highest quality seafood and Mrs. Linda’s recipes are still followed and revered.
