Great lunch today at Fish Tales. We shared a bowl of crawdad chowder and their famous Rambler Fish Sandwich, which we upgraded to grouper. We were absolutely stuffed after, otherwise we would have enjoyed one of their many homemade desserts. I was really hoping to try the apply dumpling and ice cream – next time!
We thought the quality of food, reasonable price, and great service made this spot the perfect choice and merits 5 stars.

First visit– We started w/ fried green tomatoes w/ Johnny sauce and a bowl of crayfish chowder– both were delicious. Then we had hogfish sandwich with green beans, slaw, & fries.
As a seafood market, I was afraid it would smell fishy. Not at all– could not even tell all in the same building.
So good– would definitely recommend.

Nice location with great seafood. Nothing fancy, just good food and friendly people. The conch chowder was great and I had stone crab. It was really good. My wife had the grilled grouper and she said it was some of the best she had ever eaten. Key Lime pie is a must try.

Admittedly I wasn’t expecting much and ended up being blown away. I ordered from the daily specials a Fried Green Tomato Mahi Sandwich that was insanely delicious! I thought the branded toasted bun was iconic. Leave room for desserts – share the decadent Peanut Butter Crunch.

All of the food here is good! This is the place to go for the most excellent Smoked Samon. I always take some home. If your lucky you’ll get it warm right off the smoker. I can not say enough about how delicious it is!!

This place is great! I would eat here every other day if I lived here.
The seafood is fresh and perfectly prepared. The pork chop with mashed potatoes and green beans is fantastic when you have had seafood all week. The key lime pie is the best! The cinimon rolls are incredable. Love this place!

This place is a hidden seafood gem. The food is excellent. Easily the best fish sandwich in Marathon. They close early so for dinner you have to be a little early.
We ordered the mahi sandwich, grilled chicken on Gluten free bun, and German fish sandwich. The fries and potato salad were great. The tarter sauce was homemade and delicious. They also have a blue cheese sauce which was also excellent.
It’s small inside with several 2 and 4 tops. It’s a nice quaint inside. There are always cars there so they must have a regular following. I really appreciated the seat pads for the wooden chairs. It’s a nice touch.
The fish market has a number of good options from fresh fish and crabs. Also some land options from sausages , bugers, and steaks.
Overall it’s an excellent place. I was a little annoyed at our waiter for being salty because I had question about the bill. All the sides are extra on the basic fish and chicken sandwiches. I missread that, but I didn’t need or appreciate the attitude.
Still giving good ratings because the rest of experience was good.

One of the best hole in the wall places down in the Keys. The buffalo shrimp was phenomenal. The cheese steak was great. The bread was made fresh and the meat was also super fresh. So many great options.

This was a great seafood lunch spot. We had the clam chowder, the fried red shrimp basket and the fried snapper sandwich. The shrimp was cooked perfectly tender. The fried snapper sandwich was amazing. So delicate and tasty!the. Lack beans and rice were very flavorful. They had lots of specials and market items for sale that were t just seafood. There was a great selection of meats and sausages.

We stopped for lunch before a snorkel tour in the neighboring dive shop. We were pleasantly surprised by the attentive service. And we were even more surprised by the delicious food. We had the snapper and fried green tomato sandwich. It is served with a special sauce that you should request “on the side” if you choose to get the sandwiches. One of us got fries and I got the “cult followed” green beans. The snapper was as fresh as you can get and breaded and fried to perfection. Super flaky fish but still very firm. It was as good a fish sandwich as you’ll get anywhere. The green beans are made in beef stock and are soft and delicious. The fries are seasoned and thick. We came back later that evening for dessert. The key lime pie is pictured, which is almost like an ice cream but it’s super tasty. Also pictured is the mud pie. It is Oreo crust with chocolate chip ice cream with chocolate syrup. And the last one is a bourbon pecan pie, which was actually my favorite. I LOVE pecan pie. Also pictured are the freezers where they sell fresh seafood by the pound. It is insane how much variety they have and everything is so fresh. The restaurant has a German heritage behind it so you’ll find German beers on tap and several German style food options on the menu. I’m telling you, this place is amazing for lunch or dinner. I’ll be stopping again next time I’m here.
