No Fresher Shrimp available in the Tampa Bay Area! I read about this family business in Edible Tampa Bay magazine and I'm so grateful. Really nice people, fantastic fresh seafood, and locally owned and operated since the late 1800s!!

Absolute freshest shrimp in tampa bay !!! Right off the boat. The place is so clean and does not smell fishy whatsoever !! This is our first time buying shrimp from versaggi!! We will never go anywhere else to buy shrimp. The prices are unbeatable. We bought two 5 lb boxes of colossal shrimp. They are beautiful, big and pink. The best place to buy shrimp straight off the boat. Thank you Versaggi !! SHRIMP

Time for another trip to get some fresh shrimp. Best place in Tampa Bay to buy shrimp! So good.. a quick boil, some old bay to season and butter to dip in. Tastes like I'm eating at The Freezer (if you know you know). Florida life!
