late to this.. 1. SPL (saltwater products license) with an RS (restricted species endorsment). 2. state seafood wholesale and retail products license and registered with the FWRI trip tickets program. you have to sell you catch to yourself (wholesale) and generate a trip ticket, then sell your catch back to your retail and generate a receipt. 3. Some type of Fl dept of Ag, license/inspections to clean/prepare/cook your fish (prolly fall under HACCP regs). 4. County retail/occupational license.. I hold all the three product licenses in order to sell live blue crabs to the public. I do not prepare product for sale, cleaned or cooked Hey Art, didn't the SPL used to be issued for non commercial fishermen that allowed them to sell fish to the markets. I think it limited the amount of sales to $2500.00 a year. |

A1 will answer better than I, but I don't believe there is a restriction on selling "cooked" seafood like stone crabs, as long a you possess the correct licence to sell them. I could be wrong. |

I sell them to the fish house raw. Fish house is a state inspected and HACCP approved facility to process (cook) claws. |

A1 will answer better than I, but I don't believe there is a restriction on selling "cooked" seafood like stone crabs, as long a you possess the correct licence to sell them. I could be wrong. to sell cooked claws all one needs is a retail license, peddlers license, and a paper trail back to the wholeseller where purchased. |

Back in the 70's & early 80's we sold fish for cash on the barrelhead. Then we were forced to register with the state and supply trip tickets for each trip. Also needed Federal permits for just about all species as well as the state restricted species endorsement to our spl ticket. Got out of it 30 years ago and now that I'm basically retired and fishing every week I thought I would check with the state to see what I needed for an RS license. Not to mention the Federal Permits. It's ridiculous what the gov't wants us to provide both money wise and information wise to catch and sell fish legally. Ultimate cost of purchasing Fed permits and being able to qualify for Fla state RS license is about $80K. Got to sell a lot of fish to cover that expense. Bottom line is the small guy (or girl) is priced out of the picture. Modern life in our "free" state.

I have no idea about the seafood business, but due to food delivery becoming big business, a lot of restaurant guys went to just kitchens with no dining, all delivery. This brought in the concept of renting kitchen space in a kitchen warehouse type building. People order your food you prepare and cook, but just rent the portion of the kitchen you need. The owners handle permitting and such related to the kitchen and you just get your business license. Pretty neat concept. Makes it easier for small operator who doesn't have the capital to run a full restaurant. Never heard of that. Interesting. I imagine their are many people who could benefit from having a facility like that @ |
