I found this place on the food network while looking for local places with a unique twist. The smoked fish (blue marlin) dip is out of this world! Also indulge yourself with the smoked fish sampler. Wow! The food is fresh abundant! I brought it home to serve to serve guests and everyone just loved it! I'll be back!!!

Meeting a lady friend there for lunch in an hour and a half. Before I tell you why you MUST try this true gem of a place, let me tell you I'm born and raised in Miami Beach. I know seafood. Best fish taco and fish sandwich and smoked fish in town. Wonderfully inventive takes on seafood joint standards. Amazing... More

the smoked fish here is WONDERFUL! the staff that work there are quite nice. Unfortunately we arrived one afternoon when they were preparing a huge set-up for the next day so the fish was still way too cold (almost frozen) but we let it warm up a bit and it was EXCELLENT. The rest of the food I don't even... More

Finally decided to try this place out. Did not know much about it. While I was there, only four other tables were occupied and there were three employees: the boss (I surmise), a cashier, server, and a cook. I think the boss took my order. When I pulled out my credit card, he said "that's okay, you can pay later."... More

A secreted gem off the roadway, and a must stop. Deliciously fresh seafood. We had a tuna melt and smoked Mahi Mahi tacos, both extremely good. After ordering, take a meandering walk down to the dock, find a table and the restaurant staff will serve your meal. Excellent place for relaxing conversation over food you wish will keep coming to... More

What this place does offer is good food at a reasonable price. My girlfriend had the fish tacos and she was in heaven. I had the salmon burger and it was excellent. The burger was served with a dill-cucumber sauce that was so good! The two guys doing the serving and cooking were working non-stop to get everyone fed as... More

Blue Marlin Fish House is a unique, casual, outdoor grill that offers some of the most memorable smoked fish we've encountered. The building backs up to the beautiful Oleta River and even boasts a mooching calico kitty!

I went there recently and had the smoked fish sampler. I saw a feature about this place on the Travel channel and wanted to check it out. Very easy to get to. Simple menu. The smoked sampler was enjoyable. I had the conch fritters twice because they came out hot & tasty. My friend had the fish tacos & enjoyed... More
