β€œOpen-air dockside seafood shack at a working marina, license plates on the walls, boats coming in while you eat.”

Hogfish Bar & Grill sits on the docks at Safe Harbor Marina on Stock Island, one bridge past Key West and a world away from Duval Street. It has been locally owned for more than 20 years and it looks it: open-air, tin roof, walls covered in license plates and bar signs, picnic tables facing the shrimp boats and charter fleet. This is where captains eat lunch.

What to order

  • The Killer Hogfish Sandwich. Pan-seared hogfish with mushrooms and Swiss on Cuban bread. It is the reason most people make the drive, and it earned Hogfish a spot on Travel + Leisure's list of the 30 best seafood spots in America.
  • Killer Conch Fritters and the El Nacho Grande tuna nachos for the table.
  • Key lime pie to finish.
  • Your own catch. Bring in what you caught that morning and the kitchen will cook it fried, blackened, or grilled.

What to know

  • Walk-in only, first come first served. Large groups should call ahead.
  • Free parking in the marina lot.
  • Live music on the deck most weekends, usually a local acoustic act around sunset.
  • Happy hour runs 4 to 6 PM daily.
  • It is a working marina. Expect boat noise, pelicans, and the occasional forklift. That is the point.

Getting there

From US 1, turn onto Shrimp Road at the Stock Island light (MM 5), then follow the signs for Safe Harbor Marina to Front Street. It is about 10 minutes from Old Town Key West, and worth the detour on any day you are tired of paying Duval prices for fried fish.

Local Tip

Order the Killer Hogfish Sandwich on Cuban bread and eat it at the rail facing the marina. Go for lunch or happy hour on a weekday. Dinner on weekends means a wait, and they do not take reservations.
