We came here for a late dinner and to hopefully catch the sunset. We timed it fairly spot on. They said it would be about a 20-25 minute wait but it actually took less than 15 minutes. We got seated inside just as the sun was starting to set. Sadly all the guests that had finished eating right before us decided to walk over to the dock outside the restaurant which just so happened to be the exact viewing location for the sunset so we didn't get any really good photos of it bc there were so many people over there videoing it and taking photos. It was still nice scenery while we waited for our food though. I ordered ceviche to start us off as our appetizer and it was really good. My dinner was a pasta dish with shrimp and scallops. The sauce was supposed to be a white cream sauce but it was really runny. Even adding extra Parmesan cheese to it didn't help thicken it. It tasted ok. Not my best pick. I had a choice of soup or salad with it. I chose their she crab soup and I'm glad I did. It was great. Almost reminded me of homemade chicken and dumplings soup just with crab. I really liked it. I should have stopped with that and the ceviche. My husband got a grouper fish sandwich. He thought it was good but the prices were a bit high for what it was. His fish sandwich was $29. Although good, not worth $29. My pasta definitely not worth the $31. May be a bit of a tourist trap but the food was decent. read more

When my dad and I came here last year this place was great. A lot has changed. Our server was horrible, she only came to check on us once, and to give us the bill. we were seated around the bar around 1pm today. I ordered the calamari and ordered it plain without all the extras. It was so greasy and chewy. There was oil all over the plate. I sent it back. Mahi sandwich was good, but you get such a small amount of fish. It was very thin, and then I had to wait an extra five minutes after the food got there to get my side. read more

Island Fish - Calamari... - Seafood Near Me - Marathon, Florida

A local favorite! They have the outdoor and indoor seating. Outdoor seating by the water has large fans and sunshades as needed. For the July heat, our elderly did okay. We were a bit sweaty in the evening. Outside is dog-friendly and they provide water dishes. Hey, Snowflakes, if you're bringing your naughty kids down who decide NOT to obey the don't feed the bird signs (includes fish), do us a favor and use your offspring as bait. I know that asks a lot since you'd have to put your phone down and address your screaming brat. But seriously, the staff here are too professional to police your ignorance. The service and food were both fantastic! While they focus on seafood, there is something for everyone on the menu, even your picky eaters. Fresh and very flavorful!! The fish dip, lobster/steak, chicken, key lime pie, and cheesecake are all highly recommended. Restrooms have AC and are clean (with mouthwash). Note you need to go up a flight of brick stairs to access it. May want to call for accessibility options if needed. There is also extensive parking to the left AAs you drive in. Most go to the right, by the entrance. Great views and atmosphere! read more

Food is amazing we come to Key West 4- 5 times a year and always stop here. This time we had terrible service! Her name was Rusti L ... it probably won't change my mind about coming here. But I hope we don't ever get served by her again!! read more

Really good experience in late April at Island Fish Co. The food was great and service was good. It's an open-air casual restaurant with water views; not the best water views but better than looking at buildings or a parking lot. They have a few ceiling-mounted fans to try to keep the heat at bay. The shrimp poboy and onion rings were superb, and the wife really loved the grilled chicken sandwich and fries. Absolutely no complaints about the food or service. The cocktails left a little to be desired however; very small cups that we found lacking in flavor, but they looked tropical. Otherwise, everything was great and we'd definitely visit again. read more

I had the basic breakfast-no meat which I thought was very good. My husband had the eggs Benedict with refusal Canadian bacon. He said the hollandaise sauce was hardly edible because it was so salty and the bacon was much thicker than what it should be which wasn't his preference. Loved the ambiance. Service was great. We would come back and give it another whirl read more

This was our second time dining at Island Fish for dinner and we had a great meal! We arrived on the earlier side (4:45) with two toddlers and were able to be seated right away- by the water! There are kids menus with crayons which is always a plus. My husband had a key lime coloda beverage which was very refreshing. I have never had an oyster and have been wanting to try one and had one for a starter! Not knowing what to expect- it was fine? But I don't know what the hype is about. For entrees my husband had the lobster roll which he reported to be very good and I had the blackened mahi on a caesar. The mahi was very good but the salad had a little too much dressing for me- I hate a soggy lettuce leaf. My son had the popcorn shrimp kids meal & loved it! It's a great place for dinner that has a nice coastal atmosphere but isn't too fussy. Would love to go back on another visit to Marathon! read more

Before hitting the beach we needed a spot for breakfast. Low and behold we spot this packed place. Located on the water. Pull up by land,sea, or helicopter as we saw. Views are all of the ocean marina. Nice breeze coming in and the place is huge so choose your spot, the views will still be there. We looked at the menu and with so many options we decided to go a la carte and make our own. Bestie had eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast. I had black coffee with jalapeno corned beef hash, poached eggs and dry rye toast. Everything was cooked perfectly, bacon and hash browns were crispy, eggs poppable, coffee hot- no complaints. Also good to know they bake their bread in house so try the toast or French toast or a tasty sandwich or burger. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Enjoy your meal and take on the day! read more

This place was incredible! The view was amazing and we got to sit on the docks. The fish were out in schools and we saw a manatee! The food was delicious! We had the shrimp tacos, captains dinner, clam linguine, and the grilled mahi. Everything was fresh and pretty quick. The service was good. They were a little busy, so seating was a bit delayed but overall a great experience! 10/10 read more

Island Fish - View from the patio - Seafood Near Me - Marathon, Florida

While out and about exploring the Keys, we stayed at a local resort on Marathon. We asked our barkeep for recommendations, and he suggested Island Fish Company. My wife and I are celebrating our 30th Anniversary, and we absolutely love exploring places and trying local cuisines. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and drinks. First and foremost, it's hard to beat the Clam Chowders where I'm from, and I always have to sample others for validation. Admittedly, it's pretty damn tasty and I'd easily shell out some clams for this hearty cup of Chowda! After that, I went for the classic Surf n Turf with steak and Lobsta! Absolutely perfect. The steak was prepared how I requested it, and that buttery scrumptious chunk of crustacean tenderness hit the spot! We had excellent service, the place was hopping busy, and our views around the restaurant were breathtaking. Thank you for an outstanding visit and definitely recommend Island Fish! As always, Enjoy & Happy Eating! read more

So good we came here twice on our trip for lunch. The vibe is tropical, fun tiki bar meets delicious fresh seafood with an awesome menu selection, fun drinks , friendly service & beautiful views. We started with the best coconut shrimp I think I've ever had. It's the famous pink shrimp of Florida & the coconut breading was divine ! light, delicate crispy, served with a tasty mango chutney, dipping sauce, just perfection. by the way, this went perfectly with a crisp, white wine and my husband's tropical drink. Next, we had to get an order of the delish oysters Rockefeller, smothered with creamy spinach, and tons of lemon juice. Wow those gulf oysters are wonderful ! So Tender. For our main, we got the Grouper Fish Sammie's with fries & coleslaw. I had mine blackened, and my husband went with classic. The fish was so fresh and seasoned perfectly. Don't miss this gem on your way down the keys. read more

Service was fast and attentive but food disappointing. Gulf oysters were fine. Grilled grouper had zero flavor and the salad that came with it had gross wilted pieces. The ahi salad was generous but the fish also was tasteless and I wish I had asked them to leave the blue cheese off - weird, yuck. They have a gf "guide" to their menu if you ask for it but it just involves omitting things, so nothing to be excited about. The outdoor seating of the location for enjoying a sunset is nice. The waitress Tara seemed unable to deal with our feedback, other than offer a substitute salad, and just laughed nervously when we said she might want to tell the manager the meal lacked flavor. She sent her trainee Shay solo to us to deal with the final payment. read more

The service was okay. Our server wasn't rude, but he also didn't seem very friendly or welcoming until he dropped off the check. It felt like the bare minimum rather than warm or attentive service. The outdoor seating by the water was the highlight of the visit. It was relaxing and made for a nice atmosphere. This definitely seems like more of a place to grab a drink and hang out than a spot for a great meal. The bathrooms are also very nice and spacious. For food, we started with the key lime baked oysters. They had potential but were smothered with too much cheese, which really overpowered the dish. I ordered the seafood lovers pasta and unfortunately it was a huge miss. It was honestly the worst pasta I've ever had. The noodles tasted bland and greasy, almost like they were coated in movie theater butter. I couldn't eat more than one bite and instantly regretted ordering it. My husband took over my dish, he didn't like it either but said it was edible. He ordered the coconut fried lobster sandwich, which was the best thing we tried. It was flaky, flavorful, and cooked well. For dessert, we shared the deep fried key lime pie. It was tasty, though I discovered I prefer the traditional version, but it was still fun to try something different. Overall, the setting was nice, but the food was very hit or miss and the service didn't stand out. I wouldn't plan to stop here for a meal next time I'm in the area but maybe would try again for some drinks at the bar. read more

This was a fun place to stop on our way south to Key West. We were on a hunt for lobster rolls since it was the start of mini lobster season. We had a warm lobster roll with butter in mind vs cold with mayo. i looked up this location before we arrived and was happy to find they were serving our dish. The parking was very easy in a large lot but seemed to be filling up fast. The atmosphere was "Keys inviting"with a large tiki hut covering the indoors, awnings and boats in the marina. It was a hot day with fans blowing cooler air above our table so it was pleasant enough. I noticed the gift shop, the very long bar and a good crowd of small and large families enjoying the last weeks of summer vacation. Our server brought drinks right away and the food came out fairly quickly. The lobster and drawn butter were seasoned which took away from the pure lobster and butter event..but it was very enjoyable and we had our fix. Price was MP and turned out to be higher than the average lobster roll at $36 each but as i said we were hungry, on vacation and committed to our mission. I noticed other reviewers were mentioning the higher price as well. I did not take the time to look over the menu so i am not sure of the prices in general. I would probably stop here again on a trip to the Keys and try another dish. After completing our mission we continued south to enjoy the rest of our day in Key West. read more

My wife and I stopped here for lunch after arriving in yhe Keys. We were seated immediately and our waitress (Emmalee) came right over to take our drink orders and answer questions. I had questions about the oysters since i had never tried them and she explained how to eat them and how to order. The oysters were very good and the sauce was also. For an entrée I had the fish tacos and they were big and really good with the cod fish. I also had the keylime pie, it was very dense and not very good. Overall we had a great experience and meal. Definitely will eat there again. read more

There weren't many places nearby to eat near our hotel, so we just randomly chose this place for dinner. The outside was deceptive - inside was HUGE! There were multiple rooms including a bar with a live band. And it was on the water which was cool, but it was hard to see the water because of the covers on the windows. Even though there were many seats we still waited 30ish minutes to be seated. Our server was super sweet. I got the mahi with mango salsa and black beans. I didn't eat much of it as it was .. wet? A very strange taste. The next day I had a little belly upset. Not sure if it was related. I ended up giving my mahi to the local hotel cat. And she loved it. haha This seems like a great place for locals, have some drinks and watch some bands play. My friends liked their food and didn't get sick, so.. ‍ read more

Second time eating here. Seated right away and our waitress was attentive and informative. We just ordered drinks and apps. She Crab soup for both of us and my wife had their crab cakes.

Her crab cakes made up for the soup. Loads of crab and all over tasty. My Oysters Rockefeller were average. The restroom was clean and well stocked. We will be back. read more

Love Island Fish!! Great service, great food, great cocktails, great views, and great atmosphere!!

Loaded, loaded, loaded with lobster! The lobster rolls at Island Fish are packed with claw meat. This is the best lobster roll I've ever eaten and well worth the price. Plenty of drawn butter and superb seasoning made the lobster roll experience perfect. Island Fish, in Marathon in the Florida Keys, has an adorable and relaxed tiki hut setting right on the water. The environment is up market yet still casual. Service was friendly and fast. The restrooms were bizarrely lovely, with fresh flowers, mouthwash and little disposable cups, moisturizer, and a bowl of salt scrub with wooden spoons to apply it to your hands. Take a little walk at the water's edge after your meal. The color of the water in the Florida Keys is unlike anything I've ever seen. It's a deep turquoise, and a beautiful way to finish eating at Island Fish. read more

Went to Island Fish Co. for dinner and everything about this place was so good. We only waited about 15 minutes and got seated with such a nice view by the water. For the appetizer, we got the kaboom shrimp. I enjoyed it, it was very saucy and flavorful, came on a bed of chopped cabbage. I give it a 7.6/10. My only wish is that it was on white rice. I got the surf & turf for my entree. The filet mignon was insanely tender, literally melted in my mouth. The lobster was just as good. It came with whole potatoes and a side of green beans, cauliflower, and broccoli. I wish the potatoes were roasted and crispy instead of just boiled. 9.5/10. I also ordered the Mango Tango cocktail and it was a 10/10. If you hate the taste of alcohol like me, you'd love it because it genuinely tastes like juice but don't worry, you can still taste the alcohol. It snuck up. Regardless it was so refreshing. Speaking of refreshing, Shelly our server made the whole experience even better. She was so attentive and consistent the entire night. I've honestly never had a server be so on time with everything without us even having to ask. The drinks, food, and check-ins, everything flowed perfectly and made dinner feel so smooth and enjoyable. Huge compliments to the chefs because every single thing we ordered was amazing. Food came out fast, our order was perfect, and there wasn't a single issue the entire time. Such a good spot in the Keys and definitely somewhere I'd come back to. read more

Raymond was super friendly, constantly came back to check on us & was a wealth of knowledge of the area even though he is originally from Jamaica!

Solid choice when visiting the Keys. The menu had a good variety of food and drink options. Prices were as expected, moderate, but plenty of options and portions were nice. The conch Fritters were huge and tasty. We also tried their fish dip, which was good. My youngest son loved his Philly Cheesesteak, and my oldest got the Captain's Platter, which was decent, but maybe not worth the price. The Mahi Sandwich was also a solid choice. I had conch chowder and shared with the others. Service was friendly and attentive. They have a full bar, which also seemed to be a locals spot, which is telling. They also have a cute gift shop in the center. Definitely worth a visit for waterfront dining. read more

Such a fun location while visiting the keys! Lots on the menu, and great drink options as well! Loved the vibe as the restaurant is open air to the outside, with a dock within view. We enjoyed watching the sharks and pelicans circle the boats as they cleaned their fish. Our waiter was fantastic and gave us lots of good recommendations. I highly recommend this place when visiting the keys, and I'm looking forward to eating here again when we are in the area. read more

I was really excited to try this place, especially since it has pretty good reviews. I don't know, maybe after trying other places and was extremely happy, this just seemed mediocre. I got shrimp linguini and to be honest, the shrimp tasted frozen. Not fresh at all. My husband ordered this fish wrap and it was missing half of the items that were supposed to be in the wrap and said the fish was very bland. We really wanted to like this place, but it was just ok. I don't think we would come back. read more

I had the coconut shrimp which I saw multiple reviews on. It was very good, the coating on the shrimp was nice and crisp and tasted amazing, came with rice and veggies which were good, only drawback was the plate was hot but the dish wasn't.

We had the special Jalapeno Strawberry margarita and the pain in the ass (mixture of Pina colada and rum runner) which I preferred the colada portion of the drink over the rum runner portion. read more

Island Fish Co is a wonderful restaurant, its HUGE, and has limited waterfront dining, but no matter where you sit the ambiance is great, the waitstaff are attentive and treat you like family. It is a wonderful place to watch the sunset, and to continue drinking into the night. They have all sorts of drinks, cocktails, seasonal drinks, and a wide selection of food, its not all just fish and seafood. We stop here and have a dinner every time we make a run down to the keys, which is several times a year. If you are staying or just passing through Marathon, this is a must go. Be sure to watch under the docks if you are there at night to watch the lights change color, the illuminated shallow water is magical. read more
