Food, family, and faith - that is the mantra The Seafood Lady abides by as founder and chef Nichelle Thurston brings her unique Florida-style cuisines and traditions over to her new Kentucky home. These steamy seafood platters are a reflection of a rich heritage and deeply-sown roots that Nichelle and her husband Shawn hope all local Kentuckians and seafood lovers can indulge in. Starting from humble beginnings as a mobile food truck, the couple spread their talents statewide and even gained admirers from other parts of the country. As their fan base swelled and they garnered more critical acclaim, The Seafood Lady decided to settle down in a small quiet neighborhood on Oak Street, where the building was formerly owned by a Tire Shop. Several spreads on culinary magazines and notable appearances on the Food network led the restaurant to move to a larger spot in the Old Louisville community. Midwesterners far and wide have traveled to eat steamy, simmering plates of buttery crab, lobster, crawfish, jumbo shrimp, and seasoned veggies. These delicacies have tender, abundant meat packed with a medley of spices and aromatic elements. The Seafood Lady has taken a life of its own, expanding to two Louisville-based locations, with one residing in the downtown Nulu neighborhood. This is a huge milestone because it represents more Black-owned businesses making their mark in the community. Savor an unforgettable wholesome meal while being served by a friendly wait staff that embodies strong core values and amazing food.
