We started with appetizers, including conch fritters and lobster bites, which were delicious! For our main courses, we had the catch of the day, grouper, sautéed fish, a lobster sandwich, and sautéed shrimp. The dishes were quite rich, thanks to the butter, lemon, and oil mixture drizzled over the fish, but they were flavorful nonetheless. The fish itself was on the thinner side, which is likely why the prices are lower compared to other seafood restaurants. The atmosphere was lively, especially with pelicans waiting for a snack as the fishing boat arrived! There were some pros and cons, but overall, it’s a solid spot. Just don’t expect a four-star experience, and you’ll have a great meal!

The staff was incredibly friendly and suggested the fish special, which my wife and one of our friends decided to try. It was absolutely delicious—flaky and perfectly seasoned. I went for the shrimp scampi, which is served without pasta, but I thought it was just right as it was. The dish was generously filled with shrimp, leaving me feeling very satisfied. The homemade salad dressings and the key lime pie were also outstanding.

If you love those crispy bits, simply request that they cook it a bit longer in the pan. You can also sip on a cocktail on their patio, which boasts a beautiful view of the marina, and you might even catch a glimpse of a dolphin!
