If you open a map and look at Miami, you’ll notice we are quite close to a very large ocean. We are a city that loves its seafood, and we’re pretty great at cooking it too. There’s a dizzying amount of seafood options in this town—Cuban, Peruvian, waterfront raw bars, and places that are just very good at frying things. We love them all, and have gathered our favorite seafood restaurants in Miami on this guide.

Shore To Door Fish Market

There’s no menu at Shore To Door, a Coconut Grove seafood market that turns into a restaurant on the weekends. Instead, the cook—who might be in the middle of cleaning a fish—will tell you what came in off the boat that morning. The menu might include fried grouper bites, a whole fried yellowtail snapper, wahoo fish dip, or other sea creatures. But it will be delicious, and you can eat it in their fantastic backyard, which has a bunch of mismatched furniture and an atmosphere that feels almost as Key West as Jimmy Buffett riding a dolphin while reading a Hemingway novel out loud.
