Trophy Fish is everything you would want a St Pete restaurant to be - fully outdoors, fresh caught fish, and a stellar tropical drink selection (and dog friendly). For first time visitors, you order directly at the bar and the food window - there’s no servers in the traditional sense (but your food will be brought to you). Fantastic restaurant- can’t wait to return!
First time visiting Trophy Fish and we loved it. Bartenders were awesome. The Salty Dog is tasty and the presentation of the cocktails have that extra flair. We tried the oysters (yum) and the citrus rubbed snapper which was delicious. They also had impressive live music. We are already planning our next trip back to this delicious restaurant.
This was our first visit here and we were very pleased. Our fish was cooked perfect and the slaw was delicious. I had peanut butter pie for dessert and we tryed The dead Parrott lager for our drinks. Everything was wonderful. Very laid back , fun atmosphere. It was such a beautiful evening to sit outside too.
Went for happy hour. Incredible value there at that time. Skip the chicken tacos and load up on the delicious shrimp tacos. There is something about their taco shells that are so unique. They are crispy but chewy at the same time. So good. 10 cocktails during happy hour were incredible. The Fin & Tonic stands out and is so refreshing.
This spot is awesome! Entire place is outdoor seating with umbrellas and a covered bar available. The oysters were just okay, but the fish entrees were spectacular. I highly recommend ordering the blackened fries and chorizo creamed corn as sides along with the Cajun remoulade.
Very relaxed chill vibe and secluded. We walked past the entrance twice before realizing where we were. The atmosphere was everything, I laid back chill vibe with live music. The happy hour included 15 bottles of bubbly and champagne. They also had a few happy hour drinks listed in the photos I included. The chicken tacos were great and 5 each. I also order the street cornwhich was pleasantly seasoned and perfectly cooked. I would definitely recommend this place for an intimate date or gathering.
Trophy Fish is an absolute gem in St. Pete for fresh, high-quality seafood. Their oysters are clean, crisp, and briny, and the red grouper is perfectly cooked, highlighting its delicate, buttery flavor. The casual yet lively atmosphere makes it a great spot to kick back and enjoy top-tier seafood. Pro tip: For drinks, ask for Cocho, the mixologist-he's got serious skills and will hook you up with some of the best tropical cocktails in town. Whether you're sipping from a fresh-cut pineapple or a beautifully crafted glass, the drinks here are as much an experience as the food. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh seafood, great vibes, and next-level drinks!
As a Texan who relocated to Florida, it was 'love at first sip' of this marg. I’ve been cursed with thick, syrupy, sugary, bland margaritas on my quest and I’m happy I didn’t give up. Please teach me how to make this I promise I will still come back and spend my money here because the BBQ chicken sandwich was flames and fire and more flames. I’m just mad I didn’t give this place a shot sooner bc I could have been skipping these lame margs all this time :,)
