Came here on recommendation from a client and was not disappointed!! Perfect casual spot! Some street parking available, although I'm sure it's competitive on busy nights! Completely outdoor space with bar, small tables, and high tops for small to medium groups! Casual, beachy vibe, with umbrellas and tastefully modern beach decor. Bartender was incredibly friendly, offered wonderful recommendations, and remembered my name throughout my stay! Counter service food, separate from the bar. Fun seafood apps and an intentional mains menu make this a great spot for a light dinner or apps and drinks! I had the daily catch, which was amberjack, citrus rub, with slaw and taters. It was a lovely meal with flaky fish, tangy slaw, and decadent potatoes! Good value for the cost! Had the Gone Fishing to drink, which came served in a themed bobber glass. Rum-forward without being too boozy, balanced with sweetness and nuance from the tea. Surprisingly elevated for a beach bar vibe! Would absolutely recommend! Top it all off with some chill live music and you have the perfect evening for this guy! :) read more

Trophy Fish - Seafood Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

We stumbled into Trophy Fish on a cloudy afternoon for happy hour with zero expectations and left genuinely impressed. The prices were awesome: $1 oysters, $5 hush puppies, $5 tacos, $10 cocktails. Everyday from 4-6pm. At that price point you really can't go wrong! For us the oysters were the star of the show... were they the best looking oysters I've ever had? No. Were they amazing for a dollar each? Absolutely yes! The hush puppies were really good as well... not dry at all, perfectly done, and the dipping sauce alongside them was spot on. The tacos were a solid addition to the spread: good flavors, nothing that blew us away, but a nice way to round things out. The shrimp taco was the winner between the two, we'd probably skip the chicken next time. The chorizo creamed corn was a pleasant surprise as well, and I'm not even a big corn person! The outdoor patio has a really cute vibe too... we were there on a cloudy day and it was still charming. Would love to come back on a sunny afternoon and make a proper happy hour afternoon of it. The oysters alone are enough to bring us back. Trophy Fish has officially earned a spot in the regular rotation. read more

Showed up around 5pm on a Saturday and the place was pretty busy! The bartender asked if it was our first time and then explained we seat ourselves, order at the bar for drinks and at a separate counter for food, and sent us on our way. We really loved the vibe of the place, and I honestly loved the service style. And it was happy hour which made it even better! We ordered the hush puppies, and while they were mediocre themselves, the 727 sauce they came with was freaking awesome. We also got a dozen oysters (for $12 total!) and they were awesome. Lastly, we ordered the day boat fresh catch with citrus rub, pineapple cabbage slaw, chorizo creamed corn and pineapple tartar sauce. The two fresh fish options were Red Drum or Amberjack. We went with the Red Drum. The sides were amazing, so was the sauce, and the fish was good too! As for drinks, I got a glass of rose for $5 and my boyfriend got a Salty Dawg for $10! I would absolutely come back. I loved the vibes here. People had their dogs, there was lots of laughter, feels secluded with the tall plants around the restaurant, the floor in covered in shells. Overall, I really loved our experience! read more

Awesome atmosphere, good food and excessive pricing on routine drinks equals 3 stars. I would've said 4 stars but it takes away from the dining experience when you feel places are getting greedy and gouging you. A vodka and soda water for example is $11 and standard white wine was higher... Come on man! Absent that, the place is really cool with all outdoor seating, a very fun atmosphere and very good seafood and sides. Service was very friendly at the food window and at the bar. Probably will be coming back at some point, but it's going to take a little bit of time to get the bad taste out of my mouth with the whole drink thing. read more

This is a great place, it's an outdoor only establishment with a covered bar. The atmosphere was amazing and just that alone, it sold me even before I even ate anything. The customer service is the next best thing about this establishment. We were warmly welcomed and greeted as soon as we walked in by the manager. For food I had the shrimp po-boy that was really good. We ordered the hush puppies as an appetizer but I couldn't eat them because they had jalapeño inside and on top of them. We also had the cooked oysters that were okay, they were a little busy in my opinion with ingredients but they were a strong B. My wife had the red grouper and she thought it was good but a little over seasoned. My wife had a grapefruit salty dog which was delicious and I noticed that almost everyone at the bar had a pistachio mai tai, which the manger told me it was really good. So I'll try one next time I strongly recommend this establishment for dining. It's a quaint little place and they have a happy hour that we will try out soon. read more

I love trophy fish so much! The fish is freshly caught every week, they serve large portions of the side dishes, and the drinks are amazing as well. read more

Found this place here on Yelp. Love the idea that you can order at the bar and the food window and keep an open tab as opposed Drinks were very good and pretty to look at! The fish dip was excellent. We shared the panko crusted mahi mahi ( a huge portion) and chose the kale chimichurri sauce (delicious). We did try the Cajun sauce first, but it was a bit too mayo-y for us. The pineapple slaw was yummy, as was the trophy taters ( smothered in guacamole). The blackened fries were perfect- and I am not a big fry person. Staff was friendly - Alina was great! Cozy seating areas as well as your typical tables, on a patio outside. Regret that I didn't get the peanut butter pie! read more

Great atmosphere and causal vibe with fantastic bartenders who were fun to watch. It almost was a 5-star visit, but $31.50 for grouper sandwich is an unacceptable price. You have to order at a kitchen window (which did not give me much chance to read the menu), and I don't like plastic cutlery at a nice restaurant. I walked away feeling I had a 'tourist trap' experience. Now reviewing my card account, there an additional $16.06 charge witch I have to dispute. Warning, read the menu and keep the receipt, or save the trouble and eat at The Oyster Bar across the street. read more

Ever since I moved to St. Pete in 2020, Trophy Fish has been like a long-unrequited crush, always on my mind but just out of reach--until today, when I finally stepped through that nautical wooden gate and immersed myself Into this tropical paradise. Veiled from street view by lush walls of Sea Grape trees (at least I think they are Sea Grapes) in the heart of the Grand Central District, entering Trophy Fish made me feel like I'd tumbled into a coastal Wonderland making the return of Al fresco dining with a cool, easy breeze and crushed oyster shells crunching underfoot an even greater delight, The dog-friendly setup radiates a relaxed, "bait shop chic" allure that melds casual counter ordering with seamless efficiency, that suits the relaxed dining experience while keeping things moving and giving you a chance to check out the fresh fish of the day, which was likely caught that very morning just a few miles from the venue. The menu didn't disappoint either. We kicked things off with hush puppies and a pineapple sauce--decent, but a bit heavy for my taste. The amberjack nuggets, though, were a revelation: flaky, lightly breaded, and downright tasty, while the amberjack sandwich paired perfectly with the irresistible truffle fries. But the true star was the key lime pie--hands down the best I've ever tasted - no cap - striking a perfect balance of tart and sweet with a graham cracker crust that was nothing short of sublime. The full bar, featuring creative "boat drinks" like the Pistachio Mai Tai, added a playful touch, making us feel like we were sipping cocktails on a dock at sunset. Trophy Fish is a charming, inviting spot that whisks you away to a coastal paradise right in the heart of the city and is absolutely worthy of a visit for a local dining experience. read more

This place is unique. It's cafe style so you have to walk up and order everything. With that said the food was good and the drinks even better. The oysters are fantastic! Fried fish was good too. Let me say though. The hush puppies were burnt and if you DO NOT like smoke flavor do not order the peel and eat shrimp. That was a very different taste. I did not like that. The bartenders were nice and food runners were great as well. Kudos. read more

Food is delicious. Grouper and mahi mahi were great. Loved the sides including corn on the cob. Would recommend!

This is by far the best fish we've had in the area. The dishes are cooked with care and are all outstanding! We absolutely love the blackened fish, tater tots (potatoes with fresh garlic), and the pineapple slaw. We have no problem driving 45 minutes each way just to eat at this amazing restaurant! The atmosphere is really cool and there is one really nice bartender. (I would avoid the snarky bartender, even though he is a drink master. He is just not that kind.) read more

Love this concept! Tables are free for anyone to grab and do follow the normal seating rules of a restaurant. You go to the bar to order drinks, you go to the food window to order your food, they will give you a number. Pick up your drink pick a table and the food will be brought out to you. There are seafood varieties that often change based on the catch. Each time I've gone I've done the day boat fresh catch where i picked a wahoo fish, blackened, with cucumber salad and seasonal veggies. The staff is friendly. They greet everyone who comes in. The ambiance is nice! I like to start my Sunday funday in dtsp here! I spent about 60 dollars for my meal and drink. read more

Very good for fresh fish. Welcoming bar and restaurant that's popular in the Grand Central area. Hush puppies are excellent, shrimp burger is delicious, interesting drinks, fresh fish is always a great choice. Fun vibe. Mostly self service to order and at the bar, they bring the food to your table but don't really know why they ask for tips, but we tip some, but it's really a self serve restaurant. read more

Terrible experience. Dirt and shell pieces in the oysters. Food lacking flavor. Not worth the price..

I tried trophy fish again. It was amazing, the red drum was the best cooked fish I've ever had this time. I was in the area with family in town and I brought them here. All of our food was amazing and they loved it. The corn is to die for. No one was there when we went. We came on a Sunday about 45 minutes until close so maybe that's the difference because when I went when they were busy the fish was terribly cooked! 4 starts for the inconsistency and I guess I will only be able to go when they are not busy. Hoping next time is great and that was just a one off experience. read more

My party of 3 walked in on a Sunday around 6 and easily got a table. The vibe: + It's all outdoor seating, so plan to come in good weather + You order at the counter and sit wherever + Atmosphere is fun/rowdy and dogs are allowed The food: + Pistachio Mai tai + Hush puppies + Red snapper (fresh catch) with green beans and trophy taters + Smoked shrimp burger + Smoked fish spread Cocktail was great. Food highlights were the fried stuff (hush puppies and French fries). Snapper was kind of overdone. The entrees also arrived before the apps, which is always annoying. 3.5 stars. read more

Great food and ambience! Nice chill patio, all open air with a cool bar. Tons of fans to keep you cool. Cold water while you wait. We got the day boat fresh catch (blackened grouper + cucumber salad + trophy taters and pineapple tartar). You wait in a line to order just food. The line didn't appear long, maybe 6-7 people deep, but it took well over 40 minutes to get to the counter to order. Some people weren't stepping away after ordering food? Some waited really long and walked away with food after a bit, while others got a number and left the window immediately . Not sure why it took so long! It then took another 30 mins to get the food, but it was delicious! We ordered some drinks at the bar while we waited. Dog friendly and super cute! Cute spot if you're willing and committed to waiting. read more

I have good news and bad news... Good news: The ambiance is amazing. The music was not too loud, there were fans keeping the place cool and it was overall just a chill place to sip on a drink. Bad news: I would really only come back for drinks and mayybee an appetizer. The apps were pretty good (ceviche and hushpuppies) but the entrees were... meh. I ordered the citrus rubbed Lane Snapper with the cajun remoulade, green beans and slaw. My friend ordered the Fresh Catch Sammy with the Lane Snapper and fries. The slaw was too sweet, the fries were mushy and heavily under seasoned (they just tasted like cold potatoes) and the fish just didn't taste quality (my partner and I catch and eat fresh fish regularly). The saving grace were those green beans though.. they were bomb. Overall, for $45 per person (not including drinks), this was quite overpriced for the lack of quality. For service, you order at the counter for food and at the bar for drinks. There should be a walk up section at the bar for those sitting at tables instead of us needing to squeeze between other folks trying to enjoy their dinner like I'm at a busy Friday night dive bar. I'd rate it a 6/10. Sit at the bar so you don't have to squeeze in for drinks, order an appetizer and enjoy the good energy. Just save your money and grab your entree somewhere else. read more

Came here with friends for lunch. The customer service was good. This is an outdoor place with good decor with plenty of shade and fans. Even though it was backing hot outside being here didn't make it feel like it was 92+ degrees outside. The menu selection was small but everyone liked what they ordered. I got the bbq chicken sandwich which was great. The fries were good. read more

I hadn't eaten in Trophy Fish for a while. The fresh fish was great, but the music was too loud. Extremely loud. I tried it again the other day. The music was lower and the fresh fish was amazing. So, I went back tonight. I was so disappointed. I ordered the seafood birria. It sounded great. Shrimp, crabmeat, and maybe fish? It was horrible. Oily flour tortillas with almost no filling. It was dripping oil, salty, and so little seafood I couldn't taste it. My girlfriend ordered the ceviche. It was okay, except for the fried flour oily tortilla chips. I will go back again one day, but not for a while and will limit myself to the fish. The fish is good and the fresh cooked vegetables are fresh and tasty. It was not a good showing. read more

I met one of the managers 'Tyler' from Trophy Fish several months back while in St. Pete. One of my buddies and I decided to stop in after the Rays fan fest yesterday. All the fish is freshly caught, so the menu isn't that large, which is great, knowing that everything is new. I can definitely say that I will be back! The whole restaurant is outside, so if it's a sunny day and you're looking for fresh air, and good food, this is the place to go. If you end up stopping in, ask for Tyler, and he will give you the rundown on what to order! You can't go wrong.

The best food and drink I've had in St Pete in recent months! Casual, but friendly service, food originally and perfectly spiced: street corn, shrimp burger, tacos.

Trophy fish is a great spot! They have a private parking lot and parking on the street too. The whole restaurant is outdoors with some covered areas. The vibe is tropical chic with live outdoor music and a fun bar area. Very casual service. No reservations taken. The cocktails are interesting and fun. The yacht club lemonade is my favorite, but I have also tried the pistachio mai Thai which is good, dessert like but not too sweet, and they set it on fire! The fresh fish is always so good. They always have different fresh options. The platters are great because you get the fish with a choice of rub, sauce, and 2 sides. The citrus rub and kale chimichurri sauce are really good! We also tried the rosemary potatoes, coconut rice pilaf, and mixed vegetables, all good! The key lime pie with blueberry sauce was also delightfully tart and not too sweet. The portions are just a little small for the price but everything is really good. Overall fun time! Great spot in St. Pete! read more

Stopped by here on a whim while in St. Pete and it didn't disappoint. Only came for drinks and did not order food so can't speak on behalf of the food. The drinks were crafted well and tasted pretty good! They were aesthetically pleasing and matched the theme of the bar (ocean/beachy vibes). I really enjoyed the outdoor space with the TVs, wrap around bar, and overall vibes. They did a great job with the set up and it made me feel like I was by the beach not off of central. I'd def go back to try some food and maybe another drink! read more
