Anastasi Seafood

Anastasi Seafood is a seafood market and casual dining spot in Philadelphia’s Italian Market, with a focus on crabs, shrimp and a broad selection of seafood. The venue serves customers looking to purchase seafood for home cooking as well as diners seeking a prepared meal in a market setting. Its location on South 9th Street places it within one of the city’s long-established food-shopping districts, where a visit can form part of a wider market outing.

The market selection includes live crabs, shellfish, finfish and other seafood sourced from different parts of the world. Crab cakes, seafood salads and other ready-to-eat items are also part of the offering, giving the venue appeal to both home cooks and customers looking for something convenient. The selection reflects a traditional seafood-counter approach, with the ingredients themselves remaining central to the experience.

Although the storefront functions as a market, Anastasi Seafood also provides indoor seating for a more relaxed meal. The dining area has a cozy, casual character rather than a formal restaurant atmosphere. That combination makes the venue suitable for seafood-focused lunches, informal meals and customers who want to browse the market before deciding what to take home or eat on site.

Online ordering and takeout add flexibility for customers who prefer to collect food rather than dine indoors. The venue also offers catering for a range of occasions, including birthday celebrations, holiday gatherings, corporate functions and wedding-related events. Catering gives the business a role beyond everyday seafood shopping, with options intended for both small and larger gatherings.

Anastasi Seafood suits customers who value access to fresh seafood, market-style shopping and straightforward dining in the Italian Market. It works particularly well for people planning a seafood meal at home, diners seeking a casual indoor setting and hosts looking for seafood-centered catering. The mix of retail selection, prepared food and event service gives the venue a practical, flexible character while keeping seafood at the center of the experience.
