Miami / South Florida, FLSeafood

Joe's Stone Crab is a century-old South Beach institution whose history predates Miami Beach itself. Miami New Times includes the restaurant in its seafood guide, and its seasonal stone-crab claws remain the defining order. Ask for the claws with the house mustard sauce when they are available, keeping the meal tied to the local catch that built the restaurant's identity.

The River Oyster Bar is a Brickell seafood room built around its namesake raw-bar order. Miami New Times returns to it in local coverage, reflecting its steady place in the neighborhood. Start with oysters from the current list, then add another seafood dish if the table wants a fuller meal without losing the raw bar as the reason to visit.

Garcia's has served seafood beside the Miami River since 1966, with a fish market next to the dining area and fresh catch arriving daily. Miami New Times highlights that relationship to the water and market. Ask what came in that day and order accordingly, letting the available fish determine the meal rather than arriving committed to another catch.

La Camaronera operates as both a fish market and a compact Cuban seafood counter. The current guide highlights pan con minuta alongside fried shrimp, conch, and lobster, so the order can stay sandwich-focused or become a broader fried-seafood plate. Its Flagler Street address keeps the experience rooted in Little Havana.

Black Point Ocean Grill sits beside the marina with a menu tied to local waters. The current seafood guide names conch fritters, local fish, and a cook-your-catch option, which gives anglers a direct route from the day's haul to the kitchen. The Cutler Bay address remains within the Miami metro gate.
