Blue Marlin Fish House- North Miami Beach

[sherry f]

I just watched an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and The Blue Marlin Fish House was featured. I am very curious what you south Florida Chowhounders think of this place. I did a search on the board, but nothing came up. Many thnaks.

Hi Sherry - I think this place is great! I usually stick with the smoked fish sampler. I believe it includes smoked salmon, mahi, and marlin. It is really good - the fish is moist and flavorful. I read somewhere that the place has switched owners since the show, but the smoked fish is still great. I have heard the lobster burger is pretty good too. Here is a link to a Chowhound post and another detailed report from Roadfood.

Thanks so much! I will be sure to try it when I am in South Florida this winter.

I agree on the smoked fish sampler. It is a bit pricey, I think like $17 or something, but worth trying. I really enjoyed the salmon and the marlin. The Mahi was just ok.
It is definately an interesting place to check out.

Too much cream cheese in the smoked fish dip. Kinda takes away from the fish.

at the cost of pacific blue marlin it is no wonder they put a lot of cream cheese in it. to me kingfish tastes as good as marlin and is better for our oceans.. they are not limitless
