The menu is divided into options like Okeechobee & Marsh, which features gator, catfish fingers, and frogs, then Saltwater, which has items like Alaskan snow crab, sea scallops, salt marsh flounder, and more.

Visitors also fall in love with the fresh raw oysters, shucked and ready to be served within moments.

Sidle up to the bar with the locals, crack open a fresh beer, and enjoy locally caught varieties of seafood from Lake Okeechobee all the way to the Gulf.

Lightsey’s Seafood Restaurant also offers a delightful assortment of craft beer selections, too, so you can enjoy both local drinks and local eats.
