Overview

Ocean Breeze Fish Market in Tampa has experienced severe and persistent pest contamination documented across multiple stop-use orders and inspections between July and August 2024. Eleven stop-use orders were issued in a 41-day span, primarily citing adulterated conditions due to live roaches and rodent activity, with orders issued on July 31, August 15, August 21, and September 6. The July 31 re-inspection documented 36 violations including live roaches and roach droppings throughout the kitchen area, live roaches in the back processing area, rodent droppings in the kitchen, two cutting boards used for raw fish with deep score marks and black buildup, chemicals stored directly over food and utensils, employee supplements stored over food, employee handwashing violations, and improper labeling of chemical containers. The August 15 re-inspection found the facility operating without a valid food permit and documented large flies throughout retail, back processing, walk-in cooler, and restroom areas, with continued roach activity and violations involving unclean equipment in the walk-in cooler. Chemical storage violations and handwashing sink deficiencies (a stop-use order issued September 6 for lack of properly supplied and accessible handwashing facilities) appeared repeatedly. A total of 99 violations were recorded across 10 inspections since January 2022. Focused inspections conducted August 2, August 9, and September 6 confirmed the facility was taking corrective action, with a September 6 check-back release verifying installation of a properly plumbed mop sink and noting the firm would no longer cut or process exposed foods in the back room. The most recent inspection on October 24, 2024, a post-Hurricane Milton follow-up, documented zero violations.
