Score
Going back to 2022, Macker Seafood has 10 inspections in the public record. Macker Seafood was last inspected on Oct 7, 2025. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around eight violations compared to roughly 19 violations earlier on.
The pattern that stands out is “no paper towels”, which has been cited three times.
That's lower than the typical Daytona Beach restaurant, which scores around 71. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
