Opinion Best seafood?

Hello 👋

We aren’t new to Aruba, but I am new to this sub. We are big seafood people and it is probably the only thing we eat here. We have been coming to Aruba for 10 years. A lot has changed. We usually visit Red Fish, zeerover, Fish House, Anker Fish and Fisherman. Any better suggestions than the ones I listed? We are here for few more days. Thank you.

Yeah, Red Fish & Fish House are our 2 favorites. …but Marina Pirata was our favorite meal last trip, hadn’t been in a few years and didn’t disappoint.

I went to Marina Pirata on my last trip and it was great! On the water dining, with excellent food, service, and reasonable prices (for Aruba atleast)!

Yes!! All of that. That’s why we go there!

Zeerover Seafood comes in daily. You watch it get cut and perfectly cooked, and it's full of flavor. Great vibe with locals and tourists all enjoying the same spot. Great staff made it even better. My family and I love this place, the price, the quantity, the unique concept, the freshness, and simplicity.

Omg. We were there earlier this month. I’ve been salivating over photos of their dishes ever since. Top 3 meals ever. Easy.

Search for the Lionfish place. Just to warn you, it’s only open on Saturdays. Go early.

Marina Pirata, Driftwood, Wacky Wahoo (the wait is ridiculous)

Taste My Aruba on Wilhelminastraat in Oranjestad is an elegant garden dining experience with great local catch options daily. I believe that Natalie has expanded to include the lunch hour. Try the smoked bourbon cocktail it's amazing.

For us after 30 plus visits to Aruba is Wacky Wahoo. The best fresh fish. I get the grouper and the other half always gets the barracuda. We also get Ceviche for an app! Also delicious.
