My favorite place to eat in the area. Hidden, rustic and right on the water. Outdoor picnic table seating. Don't be in a hurry you are on Cortez Time. Everything is fresh. Shrimp po'boy pictured.

Ashley Parker

The fried mullet here is the best, and all the seafood is as fresh as you can find it anywhere and amazing. Try Captain Kathe 's key lime pie too, made like real Floridians only know how. :)

Beatriz Castillo

If you don't like seafood (like me), get the honey-pecan chicken . The service is a bit slow, but you can just relax and enjoy the views .

Amber Maust

Love the grouper tacos here, would eat at this place every week if I lived in the area! We have bought seafood from the market side in the past which was wonderful as well .

Nicole Kendall

Awesome! The grouper there is excellent as well as the stone crab claws , shrimp , scallops , and conch fritters . Get there before they open because they get busy & have limited seating on the docks.

Anuradha Yusuf

Crab & corn chowder was delish. Soft shell crab sandwich was good too. Got to try more things. Only cash guys so come prepared!

Merab Favorite

Jan Gaughan

We drove over from Sebring - our first time here - we did not know Star Fish is cash only . Had enough cash to buy the shrimp but not enough to enjoy dinner here. We'll be back!

My Family started this old place. Welcome. Slow your pace while you are here, your already where you want to be. Great food & atmosphere. This is good old Cortez. Love it!

Expect to wait an hour or more for food and deal with cranky staff ... But worth it! Delicious and very affordable .

Easily some of the best seafood I’ve ever had (and I’m from New England). Great atmosphere as well .

If you're anywhere near Anna Maria Island , you MUST go to Star Fish Co. Order, grab a drink and a seat by the water, and enjoy the best fresh seafood in town !
