We had fantastic food and perfect service at Tin Fish on a Thursday night about 6:30. The restaurant was not crowded, so we could easily talk but it was clear from the way the sound bounces that it would be uncomfortably loud if all the tables were full. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive and all the food was perfectly timed. I loved the lightly breaded Key West style snapper that was perfectly cooked and enjoyed the vinegar based cole slaw. The lobster rolls (ordered warm with butter) were amazing with lots of large tender lobster. The calimari appetizer (breaded) was exactly as expected. The Tin Fish cocktail is a riff on a Mule (rum instead of vodka) and was delicious. Great place to go but I would avoid peak time due to poor sound insulation. read more

Came in on a Saturday night. Service here is terrible it was not busy at all maybe 3 customers and myself included and about 9 people "working" none of them trying to serve or actually work I had to track down a waiter after 20 minutes of waiting for assistance.. food was decent like Red Robin quality I would say which is not anything to brag about. It was not worth me driving 20 min for I definitely waisted me money. I'm not coming back. Hate to leave a bad review but the waiters need more training. They just wanna get paid and not work that's not right to the business owner or the customers. Just plain lazy smh read more

I had to deduct a star due to my most recent experience. The food was still exceptionally good but the service was hor-ren-dous. We went to dinner on a Thursday around 7 with four adults and two kids. It was pretty busy inside and outside there were about four tables full but five four seat tables open. Instead of pulling the tables together to fit us all, the hostess made us wait about 30 minutes. Yes, we were so close to leaving after 20 minutes but we decided to stay since we had hungry children with us (and adults). I was hangry (hungry & angry) at this point, a good hostess would've done so right away. However, some good patrons that didn't get their food yet decided to move to a smaller table for us. That was sweet of them. Then we had the waitress with no personality help us. She got all our drinks but took a while to get mine since they didn't have red sangria. She just seemed annoyed since the moment she helped us. Then she took our orders, the food came out at a decent time, the food was amazing but she disappeared. The weird thing was, the restaurant wasn't busy anymore. Maybe she went to take a break? To make matters worst....... One of the adults didn't get his food at all. We were almost done with our food and he had to get up to find her to find out where his food was. Low and behold, she forgot to put his order in. So another ten minutes goes by, he got his food, but we were long finished with ours. She didn't come check to see if we liked our food, she didn't even apologize for forgetting. I didn't get her name but she had a European accent. The hostess was clearly a high school student with no experience. Since I've had great experiences before and the food is always spot on, I decided to just remove a star since I'm nice. She got the owner/manager because our guest that was with us decided to complain about the situation. The manager comped him his meal but was kind of condescending stating, "yeah, we suck, we forgot your food." We are grateful for that but come on now, this was a horrible experience so far. We don't need the extra attitude. Another cherry to the topping, the waitress gave us a hard time with splitting our check stating we would have to get up to go inside to pay half cash half card. What?! Never had an issue splitting checks elsewhere in this day and age. They either need to get a new waitress and train the hostess better or they might lose customers. Ok, back to the food. I got the kaboom shrimp taco with fries and cole slaw. That is the only reason why I didn't deduct more stars. Would I return? Sure. But it may be a while. I used to be a regular, maybe not so much now based on how our overall experience was. read more

Fresh seafood, great service! Been there several times and never disappointed. Nice variety of menu items, great atmosphere!

Been here several times and always pleasantly surprised. The location might make you expect something else but don't judge it by the strip center. Tin Fish has managed to turn itself in to a fun fresh seafood destination. The fact they have added a whole patio complete with live entertainment is a huge bonus. We were eight women celebrating a birthday on a Monday night and we felt like it was a weekend party. The service and the food were superb. We were treated like vips. We had great dishes. Tuna poke and the lobster rolls are awesome. Thanks to Joseph for the Delish dessert. It was worth all the calories and so decadent. I can't wait to come back and try the whole fish. A real gem. read more

Wow! The lightly fried whole branzino topped with an Asian ginger sauce was amazing. My mouth is watering just thinking about it days later. I did start off with their creamy stone crab bisque which I thought was too salty but husband really enjoyed it. Good thing he ordered the clam chowder because I enjoyed that so much more and he was nice enough to trade with me. The kaboom shrimp was awesome too. I love how everything is lightly breaded so didn't walk out of there feeling too heavy. The ambiance was perfect. I prefer these smaller restaurants because of it's more intimate setting. They had a performer playing his guitar and singing some mellow sounds and it was just perfect. read more

The food was a little pricey considering it's just a local spot. The outside seating was nice since the inside was not that big. Love the oyster shooter! Lemon martini was very good. My hubby loved the seafood pasta. I tried to be healthy and got sautéed gator & frog legs with fried catfish... yes, I TRIED.. but should have just got sautéed frog legs because gator should always be fried and the fried catfish I felt like it was frozen product. The service was very professional and friendly. They had live music but didn't seem like many people were listening to it. Good first date place but if you don't need to impress your girl, there are other places serve better food for half the price (ex: Catfish Deweys ) read more

Everything fried and mediocre at best. Fries over seasoned, small portions, really poor service. For $120.00, party of four, no drinks, spectacularly overpriced for 4 orders of fish and chips only. read more

Tin Fish has some great seafood and it is always very enjoyable. I was in the mood for a lobster roll recently and did a little research on pricing. TIN Fish was OVER $12.00 more expensive than a well known seafood place. I will return to Tin Fish and now I know what NOT to order. Next, their soup's are very inconsistent as far as availability. They are always out of soup selections and I have to go to a very well known fish restaurant if I am in the mood for conch chowder, clam chowder, or any other soup. read more

Atmosphere 2.5 Stars This restaurants is tucked away in a strip mall ! The seating indoors is small ! There is nice size patio seating in front of the restaurant. The dining area has very few booths. The ambiance is lacking for a quality seafood restaurant. The food was a 3.5 ! I got the bronzini sandwich which was on special and came with cole slaw and fries.The fish was lightly breaded and had good flavor with tarter sauce. The bun was a jumbo size filet o fish bun from McDs! The bun and even the fish tasted quite a bit like the filet o fish from mcds! The fries were crinkle cut and came from a frozen bag ! The fries were ok. The coleslaw was vinegar based and didn't have good flavor. read more

Update: My first two visits here were amazing. In fact, the service could have been absolute shit and I still would have given 5 stars for the flavor and freshness of the food. I've visited here a few more times since, and things have gone very downhill. My third visit I decided to try the Gator Bites. I don't understand the hype for these. Much more expensive than chicken, but taste like chicken thighs. Didn't like the texture of them. For entree, I ordered the hot Lobster Roll as I always do. On a good day this is one of the best bites in the area. We waited a long time for the entrees to come. I mean a looooong time. Upwards of an hour. It wasn't even crowded. When the Lobster Roll finally came it was a huge disappointment. The flavor was mostly lemon juice. The lobster didn't taste fresh and the flavor of the hot drawn butter was non-existent, it was very watered down. It was pretty bad. Service from our waitress was AWFUL. Barely, if ever, checked in on us. Never mentioned anything about the egregious waiting time. My fourth visit was more of the same. Which was very discouraging. Service was lackluster and the flavor of the Lobster Roll was nowhere near as amazing as my first two initial visits. I will definitely return in hopes of the amazing Lobster Roll I grew so fond of. It will most likely be for takeout as the previous dining experiences have been anything but pleasant. read more

Been there several times, and always quality food and excellent service. You may have to wait for a table during peak times, but worth it!

Tin fish is an excellent seafood establishment but the pricing, like most better restaurants, is a bit exorbitant. Also, the price for their bowl of soup is very expensive. If you just want very good seafood and are not concerned with prices, Tin Fish is for you. read more

Great food and great service! The little neck clams are amazing as well as the cucumbertini!!!

So....food was a five and the service a 2. However to be fair we had a group of 24 so your small group is likely fine. We called in advance so they knew we were coming. The grilled grouper and fried grouper was to die for. Kids fish and chips was a huge hit as were calamari and lobster tacos. It took over an hour to get our food and it didn't come at the same time. One kids order was missed. The food was excellent and every meal hot and fresh. So come in small schools to this local and you will not be disappointed. Fresh local fish and friendly hosts but had a lot of trouble handling our large group. Servers tried their best the issue seems to have been in the kitchen. read more

Great local gem! The owner genuinely cares about the quality of his food and service. He checked on every table and upon hearing it was our first time he brought out samples of soups and their signature cod on slaw. Everything was fresh and delicious. We got the drunken mussels and clams (I think I could put the sauce on a shoe) . oysters, and the whole branzini with the Mediterranean sauce. As a self proclaimed seafood snob, I can definitely say this place is top notch. read more

Tin Fish consistently delivers excellent food and great service! We went last night after staying away during Covid and shared the fried calamari appetizer and the whole fried snapper with Pan Asian sauce. Both were absolutely delicious! Our server, James, delivered excellent service and we even got to say hi to the owner, Joe! We loved the expanded sitting area and bar, and were so happy to see the restaurant busy with hungry patrons. We will definitely be back! Wish I had photos, but we were too hungry! read more

Anyone who knows me also knows I am not exactly a fan of seafood. Yes, I'm a bad Floridian. So this place absolutely took me by surprise! A co-worker (in Miami, no less) told me about Tin Fish, and I figured it had to be pretty good for them to be willing to drive to Broward. I told my dad to meet me one weeknight evening, and was a bit taken aback at how busy the restaurant was! I put my name in for about a 20 minute wait, and enjoyed the live music playing on the patio. When we were lead to our table, Adina greeted us, followed shortly by none other than Joseph, the owner of the restaurant. It was refreshing to see a restaurant owner taking the time to talk with all of his patrons, and he came up a few times throughout our time here to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. When I saw hush puppies on the menu, I knew we had to order them for our appetizer. These did not disappoint! Perfectly crispy on the outside, yet fluffy and tender inside. From there, we ordered our meals: I chose the small fish and chips plate (comes with three pieces - more than enough - and crinkle cut fries), while my dad ordered a veritable fishy feast of snow crab legs, a fish taco, and blackened fish (for the life of me, I can't remember what kind of fish it was... maybe mahi?). Once our meals came to the table, our tiny 2-seater was overflowing with food. I asked for a LOT of lemon (I always do with fish, because I need to drown it), and was pleasantly surprised to see that they actually listened to me and brought plenty! I usually have to ask for more since most interpret my saying "a ton of lemon" means like 3 wedges. And perhaps the biggest shock for me: the fish was so good I used far less lemons than I normally do! You know it's really good when I don't have to eat a little fish with my lemon, which is my usual way of doing it :) Needless to say, my dad (a seafood lover) was raving about his meal. I took a bit of his fish and his taco, and liked both. His fish was perfectly seasoned, and came with a delicious lemon sauce. And although he's a tiny guy, he ate EVERYTHING. I remarked that I have literally never seen him eat as much in one sitting... ever. He said that he just had to keep eating even though he was full because it was all so tasty. It's been several weeks and he's still singing Tin Fish's praises... and really, he's a hard guy to please when it comes to restaurants. From the excellent food to the attentive service, I finally understood why this place was so jam-packed on a random weeknight. I will most definitely be back, and maybe I'll sit outside this time because the gentleman playing music out there was quite good :) read more

Don't even know where to begin.

Everything was amazing!!!!!! We went with a group of family and no one had anything they didn't like. Everything was really good and the waiter was nice, especially the owner. The ONLY thing I didn't like was the red sangria I had but, we were there for the seafood and they didn't disappoint on that end. Wish I got pictures of everything but, my stomach was happy and we will definitely be back! read more

Very good food fresh fish atmosphere is beautiful. Service is excellent I must visit outstanding clam chowder soup. Love it

I've already written a review here before but I have to again and spread the word of this amazing restaurant. How this place isn't packed and lines out the door is beyond me. The atmosphere and ambiance here is incredible. The service is immaculate and they actually have a genuine concern for everyone's meals and make sure your food is perfect. I come here for the Oysters mainly and they always have a variety of them. The staff of waiters and cooks here are incredible and I highly recommend eating here if you love seafood and love to eat at a place that cares. read more

Tin Fish is the real deal for seafood. There was a lot on the menu I wanted to try, but I ended up going with the famous fish sandwich plate which is a cod sandwich tossed in tartar and hot sauce with a side a french fries and coleslaw. It was absolutely delicious and I ate the whole thing. I came here with a group of 8 for lunch and we were seated promptly. Jessica, our waitress, was very friendly and on top of the orders. She had no issue splitting our checks and she was very swift about everything. When I'm craving seafood for lunch I'd definitely like to come back here. I'd heard their lobster rolls are worth trying. I would recommend this place to fish lovers for sure. read more

Updating my review for this awesome local gem. Surprisingly Tin Fish is actually a franchise, however, this location in particular is owned and operated by Joe the creator of the brand. They've added a huge outdoor dining area and greatly expanded their menu since I've been here last. I remember when the Kaboom Shrimp was just an appetizer and now it's a permanent part of their taco menu! Had lunch on this particular occasion with my mom and sister. We sat outside on their patio since the weather was really great! I had one of the specials, the Butternut Squash soup which was divine. I've been craving soup a lot lately and this really hit the spot. My mom and I both ordered the taco platter and chose the Ahi Tuna and Kaboom Shrimp tacos. The one order comes with a huge basket of fries that can easily be shared with two people so we definitely had an over abundance of French fries. The tacos were a huge portion and I actually only ate the inside of the second taco since I was so full! My sister ordered a Shrimp PoBoy without the hot sauce and she said it was very good. Even though their pricing is very reasonable, I wish they had a designated lunch menu. Tin Fish is definitely worth a stop in if you're in the area. read more

Tried this for the first time and the experience was not good. We were seated, but had to ask to be attended to. A couple that came in after us received service and had their orders taken before someone came to our table. I ordered a lobster roll and it took an exceptionally long time to come out with no explanation while my friend's food came out very soon. His food was cold and he asked to have it reheated- they did but left off his side dish. When I finally got the lobster roll, it was great and they didn't skimp on the quantity. When we received the check, the waiter had overcharged me by 10 bucks on the lobster roll and I had to ask for this to be adjusted to what was shown on the menu. The staffed seemed very friendly and communicated well with other tables, but we did not get the same experience. With all of the mishaps, I expected management to come out and give a explanation as a courtesy, but no one came. I eat out all the time and was hoping I could add this place into my rotation, but I will not be returning. read more

[If you want to skip to the bottom line, simply scroll to the end of this review. - This took me two hours to write for this post!] Arriving close to 8:30 PM on a Saturday night in season, I was a bit disheartened to see people waiting outside but hoped it had a bar inside. The 'bar' is a bit of a misnomer. Directly in front of the raw oysters & clams are approximately 8 stools, a very small bar area (and a very tall plastic shield). There were two people at the end seated, so as soon as I could, I grabbed a seat at the show ... I mean bar. I was so glad I did! This place is very small but run like organized chaos. While perusing the menu & not having a clue what I was in the mood for, I knew I had to try the lobster bisque based on other Yelp reviews. I saw Susan scrapping & scrapping & knew I was getting the bottom of the pot - about a 1/2 cup's worth. Susan said she wouldn't charge me for it since that was all there was, but I've got to say, it was the best lobster bisque I've had south of the Martin County line. They sell it by the pint ($14) and quart ($26) which I'm sure they sell a lot of! While waiting, the chef, Joseph, brought the people sitting next to me a small tasting plate of swordfish in a brandied cream sauce. They didn't like it because it was cold & one said he didn't like swordfish, but they saw me eyeing it & offered me a taste. I loved it & would have eaten it for dinner! I know the Chef was surprised to see me sitting there when he brought out the couple's taste, so a little while later he brought out two more tasting plates: salmon in a brown sugar sauce. Generally, I find salmon to be one of those very "fishy" fishes. This tasting showed me that very fresh salmon is not a "fishy" fish; I could actually order salmon & not hate it; however, I found the brown sugar sauce to be too, too sweet - although my dining neighbors really liked it. After consultation with Susan, I decided I would start with "drunken clams." They were very small steamed clams in a broth that contained a lot of vegetation, some of which was identifiable as being diced tomato, diced red onion, possibly scallions, possibly parsley with some large Texas-type toast on top. My first few bites were ruined by someone in the kitchen 'finishing' the dish by tossing raw diced red onion on top, or some undercooked red onion, but all I tasted in my first few bites was red onion. I also had a number of shells with no clams; however, using the bread to soak up the sauce, I finally got the bitter red onion taste slightly reduced & enjoyed the broth ... to the last drop. I did, however, try to avoid any red onion I saw in it. It really as a treat to sit where I was because the (very narrow) kitchen doors were directly in front of me: opening & closing so I could glimpse what was going on, including the beheading of a very large, colorful fish, cooked whole & served table-side. The Chef came out, sauced the whole fish, then served each diner a portion. It was a wonderful site; reminded me of the old days when I ordered steak Diane & it would be flambéed at the table (does any place even serve steak Diane anymore?) My neighbors got their food - two grouper sandwiches, one fried & the other broiled, which they ate with gusto and then departed. Two beers & the bread from the clams were filling so I decided on a single shrimp taco platter (served with French fries & coleslaw). What can I saw about a fried shrimp taco with "kaboom" (i.e., Asian sweet & spicy) sauce & French fries but I must say, the coleslaw (another item I'm not particularly fond of) was quite good & didn't involve any visible mayo. During the course of the evening, the Chef stopped by to speak with me - very rare for anyone to speak to a single, senior woman sitting at a bar - commenting that it was nice to see someone coming out alone & enjoying herself. I asked if he wanted feedback & he said he did, so I told him - about the red onion & the brown sugar sauce (but I forgot to tell him my dining neighbors liked the sauce) & he seemed to sincerely appreciate the feedback (but possessing a sweet "Santa Claus" type countenance, it could be he didn't care about my comments at all). Anyway, I really appreciated his stopping by as well as his jamming with the keyboard player on the bongos for a song. Despite the hectic atmosphere, the overly-red onioned appetizer and, in my opinion, somewhat overly-priced menu, I will definitely be going back to Tin Fish. This is a first-class outfit serving first-class food in a very casual, welcoming manner. read more

The Tin Fish is incredible. We ordered Fish sandwiches and jumbo shrimp diners with dessert. All this was takeout. A little confusion when we got there But our order was ready except they only had one piece of cheese cake. So I then ordered bread pudding and their chocolate cake. One of the girls had cut the carrot cake by mistake. The manager just gave it to us. So here we are with our diners and all of this dessert. All was so very good and service went beyond as they carried it all out to our car. Fantastic!! read more
