Englewood Beach Dining Spotlight

The Fishery


Per their website:


"The Fishery Restaurant is a unique blend of Old Florida and New Florida. The Heritage behind this beautiful waterside dining spot is as rich as the tapestry of mangroves and wildlife outside the windows.


The Old Florida charm of The Fishery is reflected in its daily operation. Many and varied are the changes that have been part of our lives spanning four generations and many, many years. This family business has been built and nurtured over many decades, The scenery you see around you has been the daily backdrop for our lives, and we truly live in paradise.


Building upon many fine old traditions and our Florida heritage, our restaurant strives to serve the freshest and finest quality foods available. Our building was designed to enhance the beauty of natural Florida around us. Casual Florida dining is a reflection of a lifestyle and an art form in itself. Moving a bit slower and smiling a lot more, we are happy to share our paradise with you."


Their location is a tad remote (take 776 to the intersection of Pine Street and Placida Rd.) Turn onto Placida and head south. Keep going past Boca Grande :D


Their food and ambiance is excellent and surprisingly reasonable considering it is sea food. We have eaten here many times over the years and if you don't mind the drive, it's a good time for all.


They do offer a bar as well as family dining (high chairs and what not). Many of my friends have worked here as well so the staff is typically very helpful and accomodating.


They are a "staple" for locals so somtimes the wait can be a little on the long side. The food and dining experience is always worth the wait!
