Keys Fisheries Market, Marina and Restaurant – Marathon Key, Florida

Here’s the grille area where you can watch the chef just like in your back yard!

One of the many seating areas that offer wonderful views.

The Keys Fisheries is a very casual, good restaurant in Marathon. But it was a lot of work.  You go in, up to a window, to order your food.  Be prepared to give them the name of a movie, because that is how you will be called when your order is ready.  If you’ve something from the grille, you then go out by the parking lot and tell “the chef” what you ordered!  

After you go through the process above, you then find a table in, or outside, the restaurant.  

Next, you go to this bar and order your drinks and your butter for your lobster (and don’t let them tell you they don’t have it because they do!).  

When your movie is called you go to the window and pick up your food.  These are Bill’s stone crab claws and he said they were wonderful.  This is when I knocked the camera onto the floor and it broke.  That’s why you don’t see my lobster!  The lobster was a bit over grilled and a little tough.

The Key Fisheries is really an outdoor eating spot that also has entertainment. Its not a spot one should expect any special treatment or pampering – just good food! Since Key Fisheries supplies seafood to the famous Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami Beach, everything is great, but stone crab – how can you pass it up? I love stone crab and I’m happy to report it was as wonderful as I anticipated!

When we were ordering our drinks, I noticed these pictures of the most recent hurricane and how the water inundated the area. Its hard to imagine the fury.

I can’t imagine staying around when a storm like this is coming. No way I’d be here!
