Best Seafood on the First Coast

Fish camps, shrimp shacks, and the two or three worth dressing up for.

  1. 1Safe Harbor Seafood Restaurant

    Seafood · Beaches · $$

    The boats unload a few hundred feet from the counter, which is as short as the supply chain gets anywhere in Northeast Florida.

  2. 2Singletons Seafood Shack

    Seafood · Beaches · $$

    Old-Florida fish shack that has resisted every impulse to modernize, and the shrimp is the order.

  3. 3Palm Valley Fish Camp

    Seafood · Ponte Vedra · $$

    The polished version of a fish camp, with Intracoastal seating and a kitchen that takes the cooking more seriously than the genre requires.

  4. 4North Beach Fish Camp

    Seafood · Beaches · $$

    Beaches-side fish camp with a tighter, more focused menu than most, and it's the one locals send other locals to.

  5. 5Marker 32

    Southern · Intracoastal · $$$

    The upscale end of the local seafood scene, on the water, and the one where the wine list is a real consideration.

  6. 6The Fish Company

    Seafood · Beaches · $$

    Market and restaurant in one, so you can eat there or take home what you didn't order.

  7. 7Whitey's Fish Camp

    Seafood · Orange Park/Fleming Island · $$

    Catfish on Doctors Lake with a boat dock, and it covers the Clay County side that most Jacksonville lists ignore entirely.

  8. 8Salt Life Food Shack

    Seafood · Beaches · $$

    Beachfront, casual, and the rooftop makes it a better hangout than most oceanfront restaurants that coast on location.

  9. 9O'Steen's Restaurant

    Seafood · St. Augustine · $$

    Cash-friendly, no-reservations fried shrimp that people wait outside for, and it has been the regional benchmark for decades.

  10. 10Cap's On the Water

    Seafood · St. Augustine · $$

    Oak-shaded deck on the Intracoastal north of town, and it's worth the drive from Jacksonville specifically for the setting.

  11. 11Catch 27

    Seafood · St. Augustine · $$

    Small St. Augustine room focused on Florida-caught fish, and it's the counterpoint to the tourist seafood on St. George Street.

  12. 12Blue Fish Restaurant and Oyster Bar

    Seafood · Riverside/Avondale · $$

    The in-town option when you want good seafood without driving to the water.
