In the early 1900s, commercial fishing was a way of life in South West Florida, especially the Estero Bay area where The Dixie Fish Co. is located today. Through the 20s, 30s, & 40’s locals gathered scallops, clams, oysters, mullet, snapper, and more to deliver to Bradley’s fish house on Crescent St. and the Kleen Fish fish house on Miramar where they would make a living. In 1937 The Dixie Fish Co. was built and became one of the best places around to both buy and sell that day's catch. By the 1950s, the fishing industry was hit with what we call today, “Pink Gold”. Pink gold was a nickname given to shrimp. Their abundance right off the South West Florida coast made it a game-changer in the fishing industry. Shrimp boats would tie up all along Matanza’s Pass, where you can still spot many of them today.
