The Current Seafood Counter, a locally-owned seafood eatery, will soon be opening in Orlando, according to a recent report in Orlando Weekly. The restaurant will be located at 2425 Edgewater Drive, next to Dizzy Donuts, occupying the former space of Jade Sushi & New Asian.
Owner Mike Smith is reported to say the restaurant will feature a twenty-seat patio, beer, wine, and some liquor, and a basic menu of soups, sandwiches, and plates featuring lobster, shrimp, grouper, and other standard seafood fare.
What Now Orlando reached out to Mr. Smith to inquire about a more specific opening date than the previously reported “March 2023”, along with more pertinent information about the menu and space, but he was not immediately available for comment.
Until the newest location opens its door, curious readers may visit the original location at 212 W 1st St in Sanford, inside Henry’s Depot, a popular “culinary food hall” in Sanford’s quaint downtown neighborhood.
