A fish market that became a landmark.
What started as a husband-and-wife seafood counter in 2013 grew — one lobster roll at a time — into the place Bonita Springs brings its visitors first.
Fresh. Local. Wicked Good.
Doug's Seafood began in 2013, when husband-and-wife team Doug and Rhonda Anderson opened a humble seafood market on Bonita Beach Road with one promise: the freshest catch available, sold by people who care.
Word spread. The market grew into a fast-casual restaurant where the same fresh fish could be enjoyed hot off the fryer — New England favorites like lobster rolls and whole-belly clams alongside local grouper and snapper.
Today, under the ownership of Darrel and Tamika Peters, Doug's is writing its next chapter — new menu items, community events, and the same values that built the name: fresh seafood, warm hospitality, and treating customers like family.
