Cajun Jimmy's Seafood Seller and Cafe was a pleasant surprise for our Dining Out Together (DOT) group of Freethinkers. The sister restaurant is in Crystal River, and that brings fresh-out-of-the-water fish to the menu from their own boats; I am not aware of any other restaurant in Ocala that does this!
I was hesitant about the cajun spicing and asked for it on the side which they were able to do, but discovered that the core blackening spice was mild and aromatic rather than hot, and it really did remind me of NOLA, but with less heat. Rather than being reluctant to try the hotter dishes, I suspect that some of our group would have preferred a little more heat (my preference has always been towards the aromatic cajun spices rather than the heat) but hot sauce is always easy to add if that's your thing.
The oysters were not as fresh (clued by the BOGO special) but excellent and well cleaned of sand and such. Word to the wise: don't bring them home and put the shells in the garbage! Still trying to get the smell out of the house!
The wine selection was better than I expected, and since it included prosecco I was happy.
Our very large group of 20+ created a learning experience for the servers, I'm guessing, but as best I could tell, they got all but two tabs right the first time—only Marcelina's Restaurant does better.
Thanks to Debby Levy for introducing us to this hidden gem in Ocala. The general tone of the group was that we may yet discover a spectacular dish at Seafood Seller, but everything was reliably good and reminiscent of NOLA
