CLEARWATER, Fla. (WFLA) — Frenchy’s, the beloved and popular fresh seafood restaurant in Clearwater, is on the road to recovery after many of its locations were devastated by Hurricane Helene.
The restaurant said Monday that despite its best efforts to prepare for the hurricane, several locations experienced “significant flooding” due to storm surge and more were, or are still, without power.

“We prepared as best as we could, but unfortunately, we will need to replace floors, walls, equipment, etc. in the majority of our buildings. In addition to our businesses having physical damage, many of our employees are now finding themselves without homes and/or jobs,” the restaurant said in a Facebook post. “We’re doing our best to help with clean up and providing work, but nothing we do can truly replace everything they’ve lost.”
