Our Story
“I’m a third-generation fish monger — the ocean runs through my veins.”
Charles Russo III
In 1946, Charles and Antoinette Russo established Russo’s Seafood in Savannah, GA. Built on a foundation of family integrity and a dedication to "fish excellence," the tradition thrives eight decades later.
At Russo’s Fresh Seafood Bluffton, our three generations of commitment to freshness and cleanliness ensure you’ll have the finest seafood available.
Charles Russo III carries forward his grandfather's old-school principles: no shortcuts to quality, an intense focus on cleanliness, and a passion for making customers happy. His grandfather’s legacy is evident in the partnerships we’ve cultivated with South Carolina families who have fished in local waters for generations.
This deep-rooted commitment extends to our market, our high-yield precision hand-cutting, and our service to both retail and wholesale customers. Your satisfaction is at the heart of what we do, ensuring the quality and freshness that have defined Russo's family seafood for eighty years.
“Russo’s is a great place! Nice seafood selection. Everything looks so fresh. Friendly and helpful staff that will prepare your fresh seafood selection for you (scaling, filleting, etc.) if needed. They sell seasonings and sauces you can cook with whatever seafood you choose...you can trust the fresh quality. It reminds me that home is where the best food is.“

Our Commitment for the Future
At Russo’s Fresh Seafood Bluffton, sustainability means using the whole fish and supporting our local ecosystem. We sell seasonally available species to protect fish populations and offer often-overlooked cuts, such as collars and heads—delicious ways to honor the whole catch.
What we don’t use goes to local farmers, who turn our bones and trimmings into nutrient-rich fertilizer. Their crops, often sold at nearby farmers’ markets, may end up on your plate alongside our seafood!
It’s a full-circle approach that reduces waste, supports local agriculture, and helps ensure fresh, sustainable seafood meals for generations to come.
“Russo’s is the best seafood market I have been to in this area. The Redfish—amazing. The Branzino fish—awesome!”
