City Seafood

"City Seafood is a seafood spot on the west coast of Florida. You might be thinking, “Hey, we have seafood in Miami.” And you’re right. But it’s one of those old school seafood spots made almost entirely out of wood, the kind of place where you might actually see an alligator while eating an alligator. We don’t have a ton of those restaurants in Miami anymore. City Seafood also has a very impressive amount of delicious things that swim: conch fritters, alligator bites, shrimp, frog legs, oysters, and more. Plus, to get to this place, you have to drive by the Skunk Ape Headquarters, which is one of the best pit stops in South Florida. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"This shabby-chic, waterfront seafood joint is one part restaurant and one part seafood market, leaving no guessing game as to where the food on your plate is coming from (or how fresh it is). In a way, it’s about as far from Miami’s flashy food scene as you can get, even if it’s only an hour or so away. But with its dockside dining room, picnic table seating, and meals served up on plastic trays and in baskets, it’s a delightfully rustic throwback to Magic City’s early swampland days." - Jennifer M.
