Tin Fish Restaurant

Friends of ours brought us here for an early dinner. Our waitress, Sabrina, was very friendly and personable. We had 8 in our party and I don’t remember what everyone got. Some salads, tacos, lobster soup, fried green tomatoes, and gator and catfish. Everyone’s food was absolutely delicious. No complaints at all. We shared a slice of salted caramel cheesecake. Oh my goodness. When you go here make sure you save room for dessert.

The seafood is really good! The hub had a seafood plate with fried haddock, shrimp and an AmZing crab cake. We both agreed it was pretty spectacular—just the right amount of light crispness, lots of crab, wonderful texture. I had a very tasty mahi fillet over coleslaw. The fish was really good and the small size was plenty. I did find the coleslaw way too vinegar-y and sweet for my taste and the cabbage was just swimming in that sauce. The seafood plate’s fry portion was surprisingly small and the seafood was served over plain chopped cabbage to fill out a large plastic basket—does anyone eat that cabbage, or is it just wasted (potential) food? I ordered a side of the fries and enjoyed them with tartar sauce. The key lime pie was Delicious! Great flavor, texture, lime zest—very very good. (As you can see, I didn’t get a pic before we dove in. 🤪) The service and atmosphere were pleasant.

Food was pretty good. I had grilled shrimp tacos and they were decently filled. Two of them filled me up. Great selection on seafood and the staff was really nice. My only complaint is that if you have a low sitting car, it will scrape on the ground when trying to get in and out of the parking lot, even if you go at an angle. My experience overall was really pleasant and is definitely return.

It's probably one of the better restaurants In Okeechobee. The day we were there we asked for our fish to be blackened, it did not come that way, we were told it was a new cook who didn't want to burn it. It is a popular place with a good seafood selection. Our server was excellent. The desserts are worth it. I would recommend giving it a try.

This afternoon I went in to Tin Fish in Okeechobee. I order my normal lobster/crab bisque. Drove home and when I open the container there was a layer of orange grease and what appeared to be a milky watery broth. Things, happen I thought I would get an apology and new container of bisque. But what I got was a waitress who thought the bisque looked fine and a extremely rude owner. She didn't apologize and said she wouldn't eat it either and walked away from me as I was trying to speak to her. I have been a loyal customer since they opened. There bisque has been declining (very very watery like a broth) and hasn't been as good for several months. But I kept hoping it would improve. It WAS my favorite bisque even over my favorite 5 star restaurant. I was a loyal dedicated customer and have been going there EVERY week since they opened, purchasing the bisque every week. It wasn't cheap but I really enjoyed it. My husband thought so highly of the owner and her daughter who manage the business. I told so many people how good their bisque was but unfortunately I won't be doing that anymore. KARMA will take care of this and hopefully the owner will realize she just lost a valuable customer.

Stopped through for lunch. I don't remember the name of the shrimp appetizer but it was delicious. Similar to Bang Bang but not as spicy. Secret sauce I was told 😅 waitress was very helpful in selecting as it was our first time here. Tacos were good but shrimp needed more seasoning. Wish the Appetizer shrimp was used. Good little spot in town
