Fisherman’s Hut is a Palm Beach staple that locals rely on and smart visitors seek out. Set right on the beach at J.E. Irausquin Blvd 87, between the major hotel blocks, it offers fresh local seafood in a relaxed, beachside setting without the tourist-trap pricing that affects many Palm Beach restaurants.
The Infatuation called it the prime place for fresh fish when you’re in Palm Beach and don’t want to dip into your casino budget. That’s a fair description — it’s honest, affordable, and consistently good.

The Menu: Fresh Local Catch
The menu revolves around fresh local catch — grilled, blackened, or fried. Go blackened if you can: the crust adds a smoky depth that works beautifully with the local red snapper and mahi-mahi. Whole fried red snapper is a standout — crispy, properly seasoned, served with rice and beans.
Portions are generous and prices are fair. The fish soup starter is thick and flavourful — a proper Caribbean fish broth, not the watered-down version you get at hotel restaurants. Conch dishes are also well done here.
The Setting
Tables sit at the beach’s edge — casual, shaded, and perfectly positioned for watching the afternoon sun drop towards the sea. No dress code, no fuss. It’s a beach restaurant doing exactly what a beach restaurant should do: great fish, cold drinks, Caribbean breeze.
