Youngblood

Founder & Fisherman

Belles Seafood Market was founded by Chris Youngblood, born and raised in St. Augustine. We pride ourselves with having first hand knowledge of the product we serve you! Chris is a seasoned commercial fisherman with over two decades of experience in the water. Chris began fishing and deep diving when the seafood industry was thriving in Saint Augustine. As years passed, growth took over the local docks and the fishing industry in St. Johns County changed as we knew it. We still believe in community and supporting our remaining local fishermen, shrimp boats, and crabbers. We keep our small town values alive by providing our community with a direct connection to the best seafood, and exceptional customer service. You will always find a smiling face in Belles!

Our name 'Belles', comes from Chris's daughters middle name - a constant smiling face and our inspiration to be good stewards of our community we love so much. You may also see or talk to Caity or Diana in the store as you message us or are cashing out!
