Captain Jim's Seafood Market & Restaurant

Message: First time back in a while. A friend told me he was in and had the. deep fried yellowtail snapper and it was good. Having never had one I ordered one. The fish (1. 47 lb) with one side $42. 62. It was good but I prefer a fillet. Also ordered a side of hush puppies $4. 99. Server Jody has been there for ever and always. takes great care of me. Will be back for sure.

Message: From the moment you enter you notice the cleanliness and freshness of this place. The tables all wiped clean, floors nice and clean, fresh fish and crab in ice at the front counter. The air was odorless unlike many small seafood joints.. Our server Yoselin was good and attentive and the food was excellent. The portion sizes were ample. We left satisfied.

Message: Starting with a surprisingly clean imitation crab salad, this seafood shop hit banger after banger, even for dishes we would never like. It turns out I think stone crab claws are overrated but who cares they made great claws. I love oysters and theirs were meaty and briny and not too chewy. I love hush puppies and they have the best hush puppies I've ever had. Even their conch salad was a testament to that dish. I highly recommend going here for the oysters and hush puppies and their Caribbean fish soup.

Message: This is a hide gem that is a must if you are looking for fresh sea food options.. My first impression was wow on the spotless in every detail at this restaurant, even when the fish store is also at the restaurant.. They have affordable and reasonable prices consider the quality and portions.. The service is punctual and staff is friendly.. The Newman’s shrimp po boy and the key lime pie is a must in here.

Message: Insanely good.. Capt. Jims is located at a strip mall that if you are driving semi fast you will not even realize its there.. however, the food and the place is FANTASTIC! It used to be a fish market (with a small restaurant to the side) with open ice-filled racks with fish, caught fresh from local fishermen.. You could actually get the employees to call you when your favorite fish came is fresh.. The pandemic and the economy made them change their business model and they are now more of a restaurant than a fish market. They do have fish to sell but the restaurant portion of the place is now more important. They recently remodeled and the place is much brighter and lighter in color. Service is great and the menu choices are even better.. During Stone Crab season, they have to be the absolute best place in Miami to eat claws. Fresh lobster, oysters, crab cakes, lobster Mac n' Cheese.. fried calamari, shrimp, Yellow Tail (prepared in any way you want), etc, etc, etc... If you are close by and are looking to have good seafood for decent price, do not hesitate to visit Captain Jim's! Oh, and I almost forgot. their corkage fee is really good, so don't think twice about taking your own bottle.

Message: Service is good & well mannered. Food is very good. We had the crab cakes, lobster Mac n cheese bites, fried snapper, and the fried lobster. Oysters were also fresh. I would've taken pictures of the food but we ate it too fast. Definitely left with a satisfied appetite!

Message: Visited Captain Jim's Seafood Restaurant on 07/31/22 with family after it came highly recommended by a friend. Restaurant is not in an easily find and upscale neighborhood but please do not let the outside of the restaurant deterred you from stopping by. The ambience was calm and family friendly. We were pleasantly welcomed and seated instantly. We ordered beverages which included ice tea, coke, and beer and our appetizers consisted of lobster bisque, calamari, and CJ crab cakes. Our. entrée consisted of Captain's Combo served with white rice and red beans, Fried Lobster served with spinach on the side and the Seafood Puttanesca made extra spicy. We all shared each other's meal.. We were flabbergasted of how mouth-watering and pleasingly rich and tasty our meals were. The Captain's Combo was blackened, savory, and smokey with little accent of mild spice. The Fried Lobster was flavorfully seasoned with a crispy texture, and the Seafood Puttanesca was very bold, flavored, fragrant, and extra spicy. We enjoyed our meals and the service. We were not disappointed and will definitely visit again.

Message: We have been in town for a few days and by far this has been the best and most tasty seafood so far. Had conch fritters, conch, grouper and shrimp platter, fish tacos, crab cakes and grouper soup and happy hour oysters. Everything was beyond fresh. Waitress and staff were very friendly.
