Our Story

A Love Story, Seasoned with Seafood

David and Angie Musselwhite met in 1983 while working together at the famous Barnacle Bill's restaurant in St. Augustine. David worked his way through the kitchen starting as a teenage dishwasher, while Angie mastered the front of house.

After nearly 18 years in the restaurant business, they opened Musselwhite's Seafood in East Palatka in September 1999. Locals and guests alike have been loyal ever since.
