Fresh seafood and meat market

Fresh seafood and Cajun market opens in northwest Springfield, MO

You can get fresh boudin, andouille, whole alligators and all types of seafood and fish in a northwest Springfield, Missouri brick-and-mortar market.

Seafood Express, located at 2805 W. Chestnut Expy., had a soft-opening Sept. 18-19, 2024, with a grand opening that followed. Our store is labeled as a seafood and Cajun market, featuring live lobsters, oysters and blue crabs, as well as scallops, shrimp, Cajun sausages and more.

"There’s nothing else like this in this area. I’ve been delivering and cooking these products in the area for a long time, but I’ve never really had a walk-in brick-and-mortar like this and I figured this was just the next phase of it.” - Chris Perkins, Head Fishmonger

A STORE full of seafood and meat PRODUCTS

Express Foods has grown substantially in the two decades since its inception. Our company has a warehouse in north Springfield, Mo where our trucks operate out of and deliveries are made. We also lease a commercial kitchen space for our business. Setting up the market in Northwest Springfield just made sense to us.

A long time coming, Express foods has a brick-and-mortar for customers

Our 1,800-square-foot market has been in the making for over a year. We started leasing the space in northwest Springfield two years ago, using it for equipment storage for our other businesses. We have built out the space from scratch, investing hundreds of man hours into the market, which includes hundreds of specialty products you can choose from.

“If you walk around, you’ll see a lot of products you’ve never heard of or you’ve never tried and that’s what I wanted,” -Chris Perkins, owner.

Seafood Express is open Wednesday-Saturday, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Seafood Express is an affiliated company to Perkins’ other business, Express Foods LLC. Express Foods is a seafood supplier and a catering company. Our company not only sells fresh fish and other seafood to area restaurants, we operate four delivery trucks that transport products to a customer’s doorstep within a 100 mile radius of Springfield, Missouri!
