AP Bell Fish
Wholesale Seafood Market • Cortez, FL • Fresh Local Catch Since 1948
About

Since 1948, AP Bell Fish has been a cornerstone of Florida’s Gulf Coast seafood industry — a family-run wholesale saltwater fish company specializing in locally caught seafood and baitfish.

Located directly on the working waterfront in historic Cortez, AP Bell Fish sources its catch daily from local fishing boats that dock right at their facility. Whether you’re a restaurant buyer or a seafood-loving visitor, you’ll find stone crabs, red snapper, grouper, shrimp, and more — often still glistening from the sea.

Though primarily a wholesale operation, retail customers are welcome to walk in and purchase fresh seafood straight from the refrigerated storage. Cash or check only. Bring your cooler — they’ll provide the ice!
