The journey to a healthier lifestyle starts with a proper diet. According to health experts, more than 3.5 billion people in the world turn to the sea as their primary food source. Seafood packs a high volume of essential nutrients and amino acids vital to human growth and development.

In Florida, both tourists and residents are becoming more aware of not only the health benefits, but also the socio-economic impact of eating fresh, local seafood. This is specifically true in particular restaurants in Miami where fresh seafood, along with finely crafted beer, highlight the menu.

Captain Jim’s Seafood Restaurant in Miami Gets Featured on The Hungry Post

An article from The Hungry Post, a popular foodie publication, featured Captain Jim’s Seafood last June 30th. Dubbing us as an “Anthony Bourdain Approved” restaurant, the author Diana Rodriguez sang praises about some of our best dishes. We here at Captain Jim’s Seafood are proud to add this title to our already impressive list of accolades received from other prestigious publications.

 Our seafood restaurant had its humble beginning as a processing center for fish that would be delivered to restaurants around the Miami area. Founder Jim Hanson slowly grew the business from a makeshift dining area in front of a fish case to the popular restaurant it is known as today. Years later, current owner Jeffrey Ross, a renowned businessman and restaurateur, stepped in and gave the place a much needed revamp. He reinvented the menu, keeping the crowd pleasers while adding a new twist. Since then, Captain Jim’s Seafood has been garnering awards left and right, including Trip Advisor’s Award of Excellence in 2015 and 2016, and New Times’ 2016 Best Seafood Market In Miami.

Indeed, astaxanthin is used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, high cholesterol, age-related macular degeneration, and the prevention of cancer.
