The Search for the Perfect Whole Fish is Over If you live in…read moreSouth Dade or Homestead, you know the struggle: finding a restaurant that serves a high-quality, perfectly fried whole fish at a fair price feels almost impossible. I've been on the hunt for a while, and I'm happy to report that the search officially ends here. The Star of the Show I ordered the Fried Yellowtail, and it was exactly what I was craving. It was fried perfectly--crispy on the outside while staying tender and flaky on the inside. Honestly, it was so good I was tempted to order a second one just for the road. The Sides The meal came with rice, salad, and a side of fish soup. * Fish Soup: A great starter that set the tone for the meal. * The Salad: This deserves a special shout-out. It came topped with pickled onions, which added a bright, tangy crunch that cut through the richness of the fried fish beautifully. The Verdict This is a no-nonsense spot where the quality of the seafood speaks for itself. If you're tired of overpriced tourist traps or mediocre frying techniques, South Dade Fish Market is a breath of fresh air. Pro Tip: Don't skip the salad--those pickled onions are a game changer!

Once you're inside, it's warm, traditional, and absolutely packed with authentic flavor. Everything we ordered was spot on: hot, crispy, and made to order. The only thing I'd tweak is the chips and guac it could use a bit more seasoning, but nothing a little salt and lime couldn't fix. Their hot sauce, though? Seriously hot and the perfect kick to elevate the pico. Everything was fresh and delicious. Wish this spot was closer to home I'd be here all the time!

The service was excellent! They let us try whatever we asked about, and even some things we didn't ask about. They have very generous portions. We had the chicken curry special and the oxtail. Both were very good. The three of us were full after sharing only two entrees. Partially because of the many and large samples. I would definitely recommend!

We brought my sister for her birthday lunch, and from the moment we sat down outside, it just felt right. Blue skies, that warm Miami breeze, the kind of afternoon that makes you slow down and actually enjoy the people you're with. Sitting on the patio along South Dixie Highway, you get that classic local seafood vibe without any pretense. Just fresh air, fresh fish, and good energy. Now let's talk about the service, because it deserves its own spotlight. I'm totally blind, and if you've followed my reviews before, you know I notice how places handle that. Our server was phenomenal. She was attentive without hovering, detailed without being overwhelming, and helpful without a hint of being patronizing. She clearly paid attention to where everything was placed, described the dishes in a way that made them come alive, and made sure I could navigate the table comfortably. That balance is rare. It's professionalism mixed with genuine care. Thank you for that. It mattered. And the food. Wow. We started with the tuna wontons and conch fritters. Both were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. The tuna was bright and clean, with just the right crunch from the wonton. The fritters were golden and crisp outside, tender inside, with that classic South Florida seasoning that makes you want "just one more." I had the lobster bisque, and it was rich without being heavy. Smooth, creamy, layered with flavor, and clearly made with real attention to detail. My sister's boyfriend ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were loaded, well-balanced, and packed with fresh seafood flavor. My wife had the grouper fillet, grilled to perfection. I sampled both my sister's blackened fish and my wife's grilled grouper. The blackened had that beautiful, slightly spicy crust that wakes up your palate without overpowering the fish. The grilled version had what tasted like an Old Bay style seasoning that complemented the natural sweetness of the grouper perfectly. Everything was cooked exactly right. Nothing overdone. Nothing rushed. Just quality seafood handled the way it should be. All in all, it was a fantastic birthday lunch. Great service. Great food. Classic South Florida atmosphere. And the best part for us, it's right near home, which means we'll absolutely be back. If you're looking for a relaxed, authentic seafood experience in Miami, Golden Rule Seafood delivers.

The music was nice and people were having a good time. The menu was extensive but in the end, I selected one of the popular dishes; fried snapper with a side of asparagus and red beans and rice (FYI this is considered two items). The fish was fresh, flavorful and plenty. The rice and beans and asparagus were also good. My friends had the Mahi, sliders, Debby side salad and the salmon dish. One person thought the salmon dish was ok, but everyone else was impressed with their own dish. The key lime pie was too tart and sweet for me, but it was good in spite of that. The other guests LOVED it! After brunch, I went to check out the market that offered amazing seasoning, fish, dips and other treats for good prices. Derrick offered excellent service to everyone when it came to welcoming us and selecting fish. I was impressed and will certainly be back. Check them out and enjoy!

I'm so happy I was able to try this family run seafood truck! Jaidyn was so friendly when I…read moreapproached the truck, he was smiling and offered a menu. I ordered some fried conch alongside fries and accompanied by dipping sauce. The plate was wrapped and sealed so it was still warm when I got to my place. When I ordered, I was told it would take about 25 minutes to prepare. The process is you order you food, then wait in your car until they deliver it to you. You can place orders ahead of time, and I'd recommend that if you want to place an order. Make sure you follow their hours, since they attend events and are not parked at this address 24/7. They close when they sell out, so make sure you come early to get your seafood. Can't wait to try some of their other seafood platters next time I'm in the Homestead area.

After two days of driving through snow storms and heavy rain and spending a night sleeping in the truck at a Cracker Barrel just outside Chattanooga, TN, we finally made it to South Florida. We had just arrived to the area and it was a bit late. We were driving through Homestead, FL. We were hungry looking for something to eat. We saw an open food stand serving Venezuelan food. My wife being Venezuelan, and my favorite food being a Cachapa, we hooked a u-turn and headed back to the food stand. I ordered the Venezuelan hamburger (Burger La Tuyera) and my wife ordered the Barrilla (mixed BBQ). This was the first time I have had a Venezuelan hamburger. It was a huge hamburger (see the pics). It had sausage, an egg, cheese (queso de mano), corn... it was awesome. My wife loved her order. She had been saying she could not wait to get down to Miami to get some delicious arepas. The selection of meats in mixed BBQ tasted great and were cooked perfectly. The arepitas tasted awesome. The food here at this food stand was definitely worth doing a u-turn for. The couple running the food stand were very friendly and welcoming. We will be returning another day to try out their cachapas!!

We got a sampler platter that included some croquetas, plantain chips, tamal, fried pork chunks, and fried shrimp. Zero complaints about anything! So so good. My main was the Sopa de Res, which was a hearty soup. The serving size was gigantic. I actually took most of it back with me and it made two more meals. There were lots of root vegetables, slow cooked beef still on the bone, a side of rice and corn. My dad got a huge Cuban sandwich that he also ate on for days and my mom had empanadas, which I finished off for a third meal. We also went back for pie. That was ok - it was extremely rich and kind of pricy at $13 a slice. I also tried their Cortadito and took it to go. Great coffee as well. Highly, highly recommend eating here. The decor is fun and the wait staff super nice and patient with all our questions. They also have a separate ice cream shop across the parking lot.

My husband ordered a Cuban sandwich with French fries cooked to perfection in clean oil, and I had grilled chicken (pechuga à la Blanche) with beans, rice, and sweet plantain, along with cilantro sauce. The portion sizes are very generous and we each had leftovers for another whole meal. We will definitely be back! I also appreciated that the suggested tip amount started at 15%. We left more, but too many restaurants have the suggested tip amounts much too high. Do look at the menu item pricing, as some dishes were $75+. It may have been due to portion size as well as ingredients.

I placed the order by phone, and it was ready right when I arrived for pickup. I loved that the food came in a nicely sealed, sturdy takeout bag with the receipt attached.

We ordered the Cajun seasoning mild, and it had a lot of flavor without being overpowering. Overall, I was very satisfied with my order, especially considering it was takeout. I'd definitely order from here again!
