"Captain Jim’s has been around for decades and is still a reliable classic for a casual seafood meal. You can stop into the exceptionally bright North Miami market to get some fresh local fish or stone crab claws to go. But they do a pretty great job at cooking it, too. Pretty much all the South Florida seafood hits are on the menu—and they’re all really solid. If you want to try a few things, get the captain’s platter. It comes with shrimp, conch, the fish of the day, and they’ll make it grilled, blackened (our favorite), or fried. They also have a fried spiny lobster that’s served inside its shell that both looks cool and tastes great." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"The third child of the mini Garcia’s seafood empire is another reliably delicious spot for seafood. We always go with the Captain’s Combo here: it’s the catch of the day, conch, and shrimp, which you can have either grilled, blackened, or fried. In case you think you can do it better at home (we absolutely can not), they also have a seafood market inside where you can buy all of the above (and more) to-go." - ryan pfeffer
"For seafood straight from the sea, Captain Jim’s Seafood is the go-to spot. The Florida grouper is usually the fish of choice for locals, accompanied by Captain’s slaw and hush puppies. The menu also offers stone crab claws (in season), Key West shrimp, and lobster for those seeking variety. With a market-style setup, diners are encouraged to select their catch and have it grilled, blackened, or fried, depending on their mood." - Eater Staff

"This longtime favorite seafood restaurant and market serves up $1.25 oysters from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Pair them with a $5 glass of beer or wine to complete the meal." - Olee Fowler
