Fort Lauderdale Restaurants

In the heart of Fort Lauderdale, the beautiful 15th Street Fisheries provides the best possible waterfront dining option. One of the most popular restaurants, the 15th Street Fisheries was established 25 years ago and has been serving seafood with a view. In fact, there are times at night when you can see the fish being unloaded from boats on the dock. There's no denying the freshness of the fish fare at 15th Street Fisheries or the convenience for water taxi passengers and boaters who tie up frequently for a quick bite to eat. Most of the seats in the restaurant offer a great view of the busy marinas in the area, with the best seats on a porch-like expanse providing open windows.

One of the most attractive features of this restaurant is that appetizers are amazing. The dishes at this restaurant worth ordering are the Kangaroo main course, New Zealand lobster tails, and the Stone Crabs. By far one of the best appetizers on the list is also the least expensive. The smoked fish dip with crisp bits of flat bread for dipping is mouth watering. While a bit on the heavy side with the mayonnaise for some, the mild flavors and texture are worth appreciating.

Every main course comes with soup, your choice of mild conch chowder or a milder, more bland bean soup, and a small salad, plus as much freshly baked bread as you can eat. Crisply fried alligator tail is very tasty and it is priced at $15.95 for an appetizer portion. Kangaroo tenderloin at $13.95 has replaced the ostrich that once served as the menu's most unusual selection. While you may not think this, the Kangaroo is actually very lean and flavorful. The delicious shrimp cocktail is also reasonable at $8.

The professional staff at this restaurant is very eager to help you enjoy your visit and value you as the customer. Because timing is a serious consideration in cooking, especially when cooking fish and stone crabs, the chefs and waiters work closely together to get your food to your table as soon as it comes out of the kitchen.

Another attractive feature of this restaurant is a big bar that also provides Happy Hour, perfect for young couples just wanting to enjoy the restaurant?s ambience. Regardless of why you decided to eat here, you will be thrilled with the food, atmosphere, service, and everything about the 15th Street Fisheries.
