Disco Fish and Grill Restaurant & Fish Market

"There’s room for two nautical buildings in this city. Disco Fish is painted with underwater scenes of clown fish and manta rays. If that never caught your eye, maybe the name did. Disco Fish isn’t as old as disco, but it’s survived three decades because the food is good. We like the whole fried hogfish. You pick it out from an ice display and tell them how you want it cooked. Ask for it “a la disco” (that’s butterflied and fried). The Cuban restaurant is still around for the same reasons disco isn’t dead—it’s a little silly, your parents like it, and it’s not bad when you’re in the mood." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, virginia otazo, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanin

"This Cuban restaurant in West Miami is over three decades old—the kind of place where you’re greeted with a complimentary tray of limes for your water and a “mi amor.” If the assortment of trophy marlins and sharks hanging overhead didn’t give it away, you’ll be eating seafood here. The menu is filled with six pages worth of oysters, fish tacos, and seafood rice. But we like the whole fried hogfish because you get to personally pick it out from an ice display and tell them how you want it cooked. Ask for it “a la disco” (that’s butterflied and fried). The meat is juicy, and there’s plenty of crispy fish for you and a friend. They also have a great pan con minuta with fried fish sticking out from all sides. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc photo credit: Virginia Otazo photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc" - Virginia Otazo
