What Was Once A Makeshift Food Truck In The 70s Is Now An Iconic Florida Restaurant

You don’t need to dine at the fanciest restaurants to get the meal of a lifetime. This is true for the small, open-air fish shack that can be found all the way in Key West. There are no reservations — no lobster dripping with butter, or ginormous king crab legs. But instead, you’ll find clean, fresh cooking, and some of the best fried fish at this historic restaurant in Florida.

This funky driftwood eatery in Key West serves up some of the most delicious fried fish, fritters, and fast food that you can have in the South.

What started as a small makeshift food truck in the 1970s has now turned into the go-to place for fresh seafood in The Keys.

This isn’t a 4-star dining experience, so don’t come expecting linen tablecloths and a decadent wine menu.

Instead, this is your common seafood shack — filled with lots of wood, faded buoys, rusted license plates, but oh-so scrumptious seafood.

You’ll find some delicious sandwiches peppering the menu from the grilled or fried fish of the day to the fried soft shell crab…

...or order up a seafood platter which is topped with hand-cut fries, black beans & rice, or salad.

The best part about this open-air seafood shack is that it started just out of a tiny wagon off of Duval and now has turned into one of the best places to grab a cracked conch sandwich in the state.
