Seafood Restaurants in Key West, FL

Eaton Street Seafood Market & Restaurant at 801 Eaton Street combines a retail fish market with a small casual counter and outdoor seating. Forty-six inspected Tripadvisor bodies, plus Restaurantji and local context, repeatedly praise lobster rolls, stone crab, fish tacos, smoked fish dip, freshness, portions and quick preparation. The tradeoffs are concrete: seating is limited and informal, premium items can feel expensive when portions or execution miss, daily inventory changes, and delivery presentation may differ from an in-person plate or website photograph. RealReviews retains High evidence confidence and withholds a proprietary score.

Seafood market, takeout and casual restaurant

Caroline's Cafe is the casual cafe and seafood restaurant at 310 Duval Street beside the historic Porter House. Sixteen attributable/context bodies praise fresh catch, shrimp po'boys, burgers, salads, generous portions, outdoor Duval atmosphere and friendly staff, while cautioning about busy-period service, occasional rude or inattentive interactions, dish-level inconsistency and outdoor heat/noise/bird exposure. The current menu clarifies made-to-order/allergy language, an 18% service charge for parties of six or more and that the restaurant no longer delivers but does takeout. RealReviews retains High evidence confidence and withholds a score.
