Cape Coral Restaurants
Seafood

No matter which seafood restaurant you try in Cape Coral and the surrounding areas, grouper will usually be your freshest fish – and it is delicious.

Our favorite places to order seafood are Anthony’s, Snug Harbor and the Matanzas Inn on Ft. Myers Beach. There is a outdoor bar- like restaurant on Ft. Myers Beach too called Smokin Oyster Bar that our friends from Denver couldn’t get enough of and we enjoy.

We tried Red’s once after we moved to Key West (fresh seafood Mecca – here for two years while my husband attends nursing school) and weren’t impressed – but we are admittedly spoiled and our guests really do rave about that one. The Prawnbroker is another one our guests love – but we didn’t like the atmosphere the one time we tried it– seemed too much like a New York hustle to us - like they were trying to turn the tables and just wanted us out of there. Granted, we went during the busy season, but still – it wasn’t cheap enough to tolerate that treatment.

If you want to cook it at home, try the fresh fish market on 47th Terrace one block north of Cape Coral Parkway. They have great fish kabobs ready to toss on the grill. Yum!

CAUTION: Like many coastal areas, Cape Coral occasionally experiences a algae bloom known as a “red tide”. During such periods (twice since in my recollection since owning Cape Coral real estate), do not eat locally caught shellfish such as clams. Ingestion of shellfish contaminated by red tide can result in serious injury and/or death. Check local TV news broadcasts and or the local newspaper for red tide conditions that may occur during your visit. There is no evidence that red tide is being caused by pollution or that there has been an increase in the duration or frequency of red tides.
