This is one of my favorite places to go for lunch, Happy Hour or to watch sunset. The view is pretty phenomenal. They offer an extensive menu, but my favorite thing to do there is chow down on their stone crab claws. They are fresh, plentiful and pretty inexpensive, at least compared to other places. In January and February 2016 we paid $2.50 apiece for mediums. Their raw bar also offers clams, oysters, Key West Pink Shrimp and tuna. They can also pack and ship your catch.
If you need something more substantial to eat, go downstairs and order anything from soups and salads to whole stuffed lobster. They boast a beer, wine and full liquor bar. The bartenders are always super nice and very accommodating. Every year this bar hosts a name the bar contest. I hear it's quite a ta do. The name for 2016 is Claws and Straws. Keys Fisheries, Market and Marina is a working marina so you'll see boats coming and going all day long. Perhaps bringing in those yummy stone crab claws. They also have a carry out seafood market. Girls - there are two bathroom locations, both downstairs. One is inside the restaurant and the other is across the parking lot in an out building. Not the greatest, but they are clean.
Keys Fisheries is located on the Gulf, at the end of 35th Street at the south end of Marathon. Turn towards the Gulf at The Stuffed Pig. They are open from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. 305.743.4353; www.keysfisheries.com

Welcome
Welcome to my blog, Bev's Guide to the Florida Keys. While I don't consider myself an expert, my husband, Ray and I have been visiting the Keys every year (sometimes more than once a year) for over 20 years. My intention is to tell you of my experiences in the places we've lodged, eaten, boated, endulged in libation, or simply relaxed. You can make up your own mind whether or not to heed my suggestions.
I'll try to provide as much information as I can in regard to contact info, what the bathrooms are like (ladies you know it's important to you), parking, and customer service. So read on all you Conchs and Parrotheads and please leave comments about whether or not one of my posts was helpful or if you have any suggestions.
