Perry Fish Market in Perry
Last inspected:
1649 S Byron Butler Pkwy, Perry, FL 32348Perry Fish Market in Perry has received five inspections since September 2022, with a stop-use order issued in May 2025 for unsanitary equipment. The May 28, 2025 inspection documented rodent droppings on multiple shelves in the storage area, which the establishment removed and sanitized during the inspection. That same inspection found equipment cleanliness issues, including debris buildup on stored knives (corrected on site), a thermometer calibration problem (corrected on site), and multiple live flying insects in the prep area. The establishment also lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events, a violation that persisted through the June 2025 follow-up inspection. A January 2024 inspection found the facility operating with an expired food permit, and a September 2022 inspection cited handwashing sink accessibility and employee health reporting deficiencies. The most recent inspection on June 11, 2025 documented continuing pest control issues with live flying insects in the prep area and repeated the absence of written vomiting and diarrheal event procedures; both violations remain uncorrected.
