Park’s Seafood has been a family
owned business since first opening its doors in 1956
as Park’s Provisions, which became Park’s Fish
Market. Park’s Fish Market was started by
the late James Howard Park, SR. and his wife Mattilou
Park.
James
Howard Park, Jr. (Jim Park) worked many jobs
at the market before opening Park’s Seafood
Restaurant next door in October 1976. It was a natural
location, considering all the fresh fish needed to meet
the demands of the restaurant as well as those wanting
to bring fish home.
The
current owner, Jolynn Park
Watkins who worked along side her father for
26 years is thrilled to relocate the family
business and continue the Park's family tradition.
Ever
since day one, Park’s
Seafood Restaurant has been a favorite among
the local’s
and has been voted best all around seafood restaurant
by the the News-Journal peoples choice awards.
The Manhattan style fish chowder (complimentary
with
each meal) which
is made fresh daily has also been voted best
chowder every year.
