This place had very affordable seafood cooked as you order. It has no inside seating so you're at the mercy of the elements (this means the wind, heat, rain). Every table is under shade but it is on the water so you have to be on alert. We loved our selections but wished we had ordered the huge Ceasar Salads... more

The fisheries is a great restaurant. it is very casual. you walk up the counter to order your food. the cashier asks you for different identities on different nights. one night they may ask you for a cartoon character or an actress. when your food is ready they will call you over the intercom by the name you gave them.... more

My family and I ate dinner at Key Fisheries during our trip to Marathon. The atmosphere was good. We enjoyed sitting on the dock eating our food. My husband and I split the lobster reuben. It came with fries and coleslaw. It was very good. The key lime pie was okay. My daughters and son had the chicken tenders and... more

Great selection of seafood take-out with plenty of tables to sit outside by the dock. The fried red snapper was a real winner! The conch fritters are doughy in the middle and the key lime pie's not so great. Just make sure you get there well before 9pm when they close off the line and stop taking orders. more

My family and I went to Keys Fisheries for an early dinner after snorkeling. My husband, son and I all got the grilled tuna sandwich and it was delicious. My nine year old daughter got the hamburger and she loved it. You place your order at the window and they ask for some kind of special name. The day we... more

I live about 45 miles from the fisheries and I have had the pleasure of eating here many times. Always great and so fresh. Best Hogfish in the Key's and a fair price. The lady's are always friendly. Check out the market when you are there. There is plenty to pick from on the menu, but I always pick what... more

I don't get some of the so-so reviews......this is what going to the Key's is all about. We have stayed in Marathon for 3 years now and last year finally made it to the Fisheries. I had the lobster rueben (after reading the reviews).....loved it, loved it, loved it. My husband had, I can't remember what.......but he certainly enjoyed it... more

I expected casual but was surprised (given the price of some of the entrees), at the window service and the pick it up yourself plasticware. Kind of like a lobster pound in Maine.... Being a boater, I liked the gulf-side view and the view of the marina. Giving a gangster name was 'cute' but the novelty would wear off if... more

OK...it's cute they call you by funny names. OK..you get to sit on the dock and watch big fish swim bye. BUT, the food leaves little to be desired! I had two crab cakes, they were probably 1/4 in thick. No lump crab, heck, I can get better crab cakes in Kansas! My husband had the famous lobster reuben, he... more
