The Atlantic Current

Fifty years ago, Hugh and Joy Ganter opened Seafood World in Lighthouse Point and started something that’s still going strong today. What grew from that original seafood market into Papa's Raw Bar, carried forward by their son Troy and his wife Cassie, is the kind of story that doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because of the people behind it.

The Ganter family has been a friend to Atlantic Current since the early days, and the kind of support they showed us when it mattered most isn’t something we’ll ever forget.

Places like this are genuinely hard to come by — the kind worth driving across county lines for. This past Saturday, the community showed up for Papapalooza to celebrate 50 years, and the turnout said everything.

Congratulations to the Ganter family and the whole team. We’re grateful for you, and we’re rooting for 50 more.
