April 6, 2021 — A little more than a year into the coronavirus pandemic, we’re learning what worked well with some businesses to help them survive.
For Key Largo Fisheries, it was their website.
“We shipped a lot of stone crabs, fresh fish, Key West pink shrimp, whole tails, whole lobsters,” said Key Largo Fisheries’ Tom Hill.
Keeping the iconic fishery, market, and cafe in the northern Keys up and running had a lot to do with the internet sales.
“We were fortunate in that we were able to start serving people via the web, an awful lot of people looked at our website, taking lots of orders online,” said Hill.
Boxes of Key Largo Fisheries seafood shipped directly to their clients’ doorsteps which helped them expand.
