Seafood in Miami New Times
Showing 1 - 22 of 18094th Aero Squadron Restaurant is a wartime-themed restaurant nestled between Miami International Airport and the Dolphin Expressway. There are hand-painted signs and an Army jeep stand outdoors, while guns and war propaganda posters line the walls inside. Diners can watch the airplanes come and go while listening to the control tower through headphones placed at […]
Is it the first stop on your way to the Keys or your last stop on the way home? That’s for you to decide. Either way, Alabama Jack’s is an institution. It’s on a lonely stretch of Card Sound Road – the alternative to U.S. 1 that tourists en route to the Keys hardly ever […]
The new AltaMare is bigger, busier, and better than the old Alta Mar, which itself was no slouch. The classically elegant dining room is also better-looking. Chef Simon Stojanovic honed his craft under the tutelage of Michael Schwartz, and the influence is obvious: The daily-changing menu is more a Mediterranean mash than that of his […]
This Shorecrest stunner blends the tastes of Tuscany with unbeatable views of Biscayne Bay. Located at 7999 NE Bayshore Ct., Antica Mare is the sister restaurant of Marco Betti’s award-winning Antica Posta in Buckhead, Atlanta, and delivers the same authenticity of its much older sister. Dive into a delicate array of pastas, risottos, fish, vegetables, […]
The restaurant takes its name and gathers much of its menu from Fishing Area 31, an ecologically productive swath of the Atlantic Ocean that encompasses the coastal waters of Florida, Central America, and northern South America. As with any good fishing spot, Area 31 is far removed from the hustle and bustle of civilization, tucked […]
Craving great ceviche? Stop by Aromas del Perú. This rustic 43-seat restaurant in Kendall has several varieties: fish, octopus, shrimp, and mixed. The original fish ceviche is expertly prepared, particularly the spicy version. Chicharrón de pescado is also excellent: lightly battered corvina, perfectly crisp on the outside and delicately moist on the inside, served with […]
What’s better than breakfast, lunch, or dinner presented by none other than former Hell’s Kitchen contestant, and one of the region’s foremost culinary darlings, Paula DaSilva? Artisan Beach House reunites DaSilva with nightlife concept creator and restaurateur Seth Greenberg, who first teamed up with the chef at the now-defunct 1500 Degrees at the Eden Roc. […]
Not really a Caribbean restaurant, this family-style operation is, however, a good spot for fresh standard seafood dishes with Cuban nuances. Don’t miss the escabeche, a chilled extravaganza of lightly breaded and fried pickled kingfish smothered with a tart onion-and-pepper-studded marinade. Nothing is frozen here, and seasonal catches are priced by the pound. Bahama’s is […]

Barracuda is more than your average neighborhood bar and grill. This pink-hued bar, located on a side street in Coconut Grove, has been around since 1995. The interior is decorated in what could be described as “frat house on the sea” – plenty of UM signs compete with shark jaws and the ubiquitous international currency […]
It’s not that the site has a ton of history beneath its barstools, including serving as the base for Pan American World Airways’ flying boats (AKA Clipper planes). It’s not that the decor brings to mind the golden age of burgeoning global travel. It’s not because you can watch boats being brought from dry storage […]
It seemed inevitable Tom Colicchio would open a place in Miami. He’s been eyeing the city since David Bouley’s Evolution vacated the Ritz-Carlton South Beach in 2007. But there was little hint the smooth-domed chef whose face is a fixture everywhere from television to Capitol Hill would take on a project as large as the […]
Although Benny’s bills itself as a seafood establishment, land and sea are equally represented on the menu. Besides, this pleasant storefront luncheonette is really known for authentic Puerto Rican cuisine. Appetizers include fried blood sausage, and green banana ceviche stocked with chicken gizzards. More gringo-friendly starters feature a variety of meat, poultry, and seafood fillings […]
Benny’s Mofongo (BEHN-eez moh-FOHN-goh) (n.): A delicious Puerto Rican dish made of deep-fried plantains mashed together with garlic and pork rinds in a mortar with a pestle. (Also see:
The famed restaurant has changed hands again. Food that formerly could be considered sort of Spanish is now sort of Italian. The emphasis, however, is still on seafood; only two appetizers, one pasta, and one entrée are nonfish dishes. Prices also are higher, with starters running from $7.50 to $12, pastas and rice $13 to […]
Black Point Ocean Grill has an exquisite waterfront view thanks to its locale in the mangrove-lush paradise of Black Point Marina. But that’s only a fraction of its charm. At night, it’s packed with a gray-haired, fishing-theme-T-shirt-clad crowd that likes to get down to a live band playing on the restaurant’s open, wooden, tiki-motif deck. […]
Now in classed-up digs across Biscayne Boulevard from the original site, Danny Serfer’s Blue Collar still takes its cues from the classic American diner. The MiMo District stalwart offers daily specials and elevated comfort foods. Start with a gutsy New Orleans-style dish of shrimp and grits with bacon and Worcestershire-based barbecue sauce, or Hanukkah latkes […]
One of two concessions inside Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, Boater’s Grill overlooks the tranquil No Name Harbor and offers views of downtown Miami and Biscayne Bay. It also offers some really fresh seafoods, including several paellas (including lobster and shrimp asopado for $26.95 and classic seafood paella for $28.95), lobster, and ceviche (fish […]
