The Unassuming Mississippi Restaurant That Serves The Best Seafood You’ve Ever Tried

It’s no secret that we love seafood here in Mississippi. From overstuffed po' boys to fresh catches from the Gulf, what’s not to love? Luckily, there seems to be no shortage of great seafood restaurants in the Magnolia State. But if you’re looking for a huge selection that includes the freshest of the fresh, then you have to visit Desporte & Son’s. The Biloxi eatery may not look like much on the outside but inside you’ll find some of the best seafood you’ve ever tried.

Desporte & Son’s is located at the corner of Porter Avenue and West Division Street in Biloxi.

The name isn’t on the front of the building, but there’s a sign and miniature lighthouse by the road that lets you know you’re in the right place.

Outfitted in nautical décor, the building’s exterior gives you a slight clue as to what you’re in for.

The Desporte family has been in the seafood business for over 122 years! To this day, they aim to provide the freshest, highest quality seafood.

Inside, you'll find quaint digs, more nautical decor, and a friendly staff waiting to serve you.

There's also a seafood market full of fresh catches straight from the Gulf.

Living up to its motto, "If it swims, we got it," the market features quite the variety.

You'll be just as impressed with the menu, which includes all sorts of local favorites...

...like fried seafood, po'boys, gumbo, crab cakes, and shrimp and grits.

And when in season, you'll find boiled crawfish along with all the fixings.

Aside from the regular menu, there are daily specials to choose from.

The specials, which are made to order and centered around fresh seafood, are prepared by Chef Tim, who many customers have referred to as "the best on the coast."

Whether you dine in or pick up some fresh fish to prepare on your own, Desporte & Son's is sure to satisfy your seafood craving!
