Meet the real Fish Lady. Sharon's seafood history runs deep as she was exposed to the seafood and shrimp business in her native home town, Lafayette, Louisiana. Her dad, Raymond, and her mother, Joanna, taught her all the secrets of cooking seafood in the South. Sharon has been sharing her gift with the Santa Cruz area for a few years now. She and her husband Mike are always warm and inviting. In fact, at least once a month they host "Open Houses" at The Fish Lady, serving many varieties of delicious appetizers and variety plates. Awesome live music is provided by Mike's band, Mike Hadley and the Groove, and incredible dance band, that stops by to show appreciation for all Fish Lady customers. They love to have their customers come by and dance. Several times a year you can catch Sharon's dad in front of the market cooking up 40 gallons of gumbo. At The Fish Lady you are not just a customer, but a friend.
