39
Score
Across the available record, Long Island Seafood has six inspections on file, the first dated 2024. The most recent visit was on Jan 21, 2026. High risk indicates the latest inspection turned up problems worth knowing about.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around zero violations to closer to seven violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “no proof provided that food employees are informed”, which has been cited two times.
That's lower than the typical Jacksonville restaurant, which scores around 74. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
