Fire Rips Through Gulf Coast Seafood On Nine Mile Road
October 31, 2022
Fire ripped through Gulf Coast Seafood and the Seafood Platter Restaurant on Nine Mile Road Monday morning.
The Florida State Fire Marshal is now investigating.
The fire was reported about 9:15 a.m. at the business just west of Starbucks and Publix. Heavy smoke was reported when firefighters arrived on scene and it took about two hours to bring the fire under control.
According to Escambia County Fire Rescue, the fire apparently originated in the attic and spread through the remainder of the metal building.
The building is a complete loss.
ECFR said the fire claimed the life a cat.

Heartbroken. Just had lunch there a few weeks ago and the shrimp was delicious. Glad no one was hurt, sad about the cat, and hopeful they will be able to reopen.

Hate this happened! I hope you rebuild, too! One of my fav places to eat!
I am so sad to see this. I use to live right around the corner before moving. Loved the dinners you could get there. My heart goes to the Patti family. I pray you will rebuild.
Jonathan and Gerard. I am sorry for the fire. I am sorry for the cat that lost its life. Prayers go out to you all. Love, BARBARA
No, Please say you are rebuilding. You’re the best and the area needs you.
I really hate this. Of all the little seafood restaurants in a seafood town, this was the best. We are so sorry for the employees, Gerard, Jonathan, and everybody affected by this.
Had to be a grease fire in vent. Eat there many times always good always crowded.
I hope they’re able to rebuild. This is such a great part of our little area in town.
My heart goes out to Gerard, Jonathan, the whole Patti family for this loss. Prayerfully you folks will be able to rebuild and get back to business. You are THE seafood place in north Escambia County.
My favorite restaurant, this is such a sad day. There gumbo was the best I’ve ever had. They could even make grilled fish taste perfect.
Please, rebuild! Mine and my 92 yr old mother’s favorite lunch spot for mullet!
Ate there last week. I sure hope they can rebuild , my favorite place for fresh seafood .
I hated to read this. We just ate there Saturday for the first time and it was really good… It didn’t say if any employees were there, If so, I hope all are safe.
Hope they are able to re-build and re-open soon!

For us it was THE Place to get seafood. Will be praying for the owners.
Oh,no!! My favorite place to eat.
