Plaza Seafood Market — Restaurant in Miami

Love!!! Love!!! Love!!!

This is probably my favorite fish market/seafood restaurant to date. From the fish market side to the restaurant side, I have never had a bad experience.

Fish Market: My mom and I primarily come here for our NYE ritual to get our fish. I come in between that when I am in the mood for making stew fish. The prices are reasonable and fresh. I like the fact that you pick your own fish. When you walk in, you grab a glove and bad and pick what you want. They have shrimp, lobster, conch, fresh fish, fillet fish, etc. You name it. If you would like you fish scaled, gutted, beheaded and cleaned they will also do that for you. I don't know if a tip is required for this service but that's generally what people do. They'll fillet it if you want it filleted, skin it; whatever you want. I have never gotten anything outside of the fish so I cannot speak on the quality of those items but the fish was/is always fresh so I can only assume that the others are as well.

Restaurant: Food is delicious. I could really stop there because no words can really describe the goodness that comes out of that kitchen. The standard fish meal comes with rice and beans and fried plantains (tostones). And it is the WHOLE fish, not a fillet. If you don't ask for it without the head, it'll come with that too. Lol! The portion sizes are very generous for the price. Other things that I have seen people get was fried conch but it came with fries. Don't know if there is an option to get it as a meal. I don't usually venture from what I like. I always get fish, just a different kind each time.

If you want some good, fresh seafood I would definitely say give this place a try; whether you're in the area or not. Make a special trip for it. I would definitely check the hours though because they close a little early than expected I believe. I want to say that they aren't open past 5 but i could be wrong. Just check the time and check...

A mighty holdout of Miami's once plentiful bounty of local seafood, Plaza's impeccably fresh fish are arranged whole on crushed ice in a semi-open market.

Resembling a small warehouse in a yet to be gentrified working class neighborhood, the rugged nature of it may offend the Whole Foods generation. Ironically, places like this; humble, local businesses selling sustainable local catch with zero pretensions are the empty slogans of the new generation of groceries and their customers.

This is the kind of place our grandparents would have been familiar with before chain groceries took over. Like them, a market like this will be missed once it's gone.

Tips:

If you live in Miami and for some reason can not or will not learn Spanish, the young man that's usually at the register speaks English.

Once you've bought your chosen creature, there are formidable but friendly men in aprons lined up along a counter in back that will cut and clean your catch to your exact specifications (fillet, butterflied, rounds, etc) with such speed and accuracy that they'll be done before you can even pull out your tip money, which you ought to give generously to these humble, respectable artisans. You would have paid four times the price for that same fish anywhere else, so tip them and be sure...

After using this service for a while, I'm ready to give my opinion... I have used this car wash franchise in several of the locations that they have available and the truth is that there are quite a few. ⭐️ Which is very convenient and I give them the first star for it. ⭐️ I give my second star for the quality of the products and in general for the good finish that always remains on my car. ⭐️The membership price gets my third star because it really is very affordable for anyone who wants to wash their car regularly with good quality, place always clean and working 100% (my congratulations to the person in charge of keeping it running) ⭐️My fourth star goes to products that are always available at your location, like drying towels, air fresheners, window cleaning fluid, and more. The bathroom is always clean and accessible. ⭐️I left the most important for my 5 stars, your staff is extremely attentive to customers! they are always helpful and happy to help with whatever you as a customer may need. Congratulations guys keep up the good work! There are my 5 stars!!! 🔔A cordial call to businessmen. Remove signs offering customers unlimited car washes at any of its 20 locations. I tried several days ago after having an incident inside the car to try to wash again the same day and it was denied. They tried to explain to me the inexplicable... the word "unlimited" is very clear in its meaning and can be confusing. I find it hard to believe that after the time they have been operating in this city they have not yet been sued for that reason. It is my humble opinion and I hope they can honor what they offer or remove the posters with that ad. Thank you for the good service at this Paincrest location my congratulations 😁

Después de usar este servicio por un tiempo, estoy listo para dar mi opinión... He utilizado esta franquicia de lavado de coches en varios de los locales que tienen disponibles y la verdad es que hay bastantes. ⭐️ Lo cual es muy conveniente y les doy la primera estrella por ello. ⭐️Doy mi segunda estrella por la calidad de los productos y en general por el buen acabado que siempre queda en mi coche. ⭐️El precio de la membresía se lleva mi tercera estrella porque realmente es muy asequible para todo aquel que quiera lavar su auto regularmente con buena calidad, lugar siempre limpio y funcionando al 100% (mis felicitaciones a la persona encargada de mantenerlo funcionando) ⭐️Mi cuarta estrella va para los productos que siempre están disponibles en su ubicación, como toallas para secar, ambientadores, líquido para limpiar ventanas y más. El baño siempre está limpio y accesible. ⭐️Dejé lo más importante para mi 5 estrellas, ¡su personal es extremadamente atento con los clientes! siempre son útiles y están felices de ayudar con lo que usted como cliente pueda necesitar. Felicitaciones chicos sigan con el buen trabajo! Ahí están mis 5 estrellas!!! 🔔Un cordial llamado a los empresarios. Retire de sus instalaciones los letreros donde ofrece a sus clientes lavados de autos ilimitados en cualquiera de sus 20 ubicaciones. Intenté hace varios días después de tener un incidente dentro del auto para intentar lavar nuevamente el mismo día y fue denegado. Intentaron explicarme lo inexplicable... la palabra "ilimitado" es muy clara en su significado y puede ser confusa. Me cuesta creer que después del tiempo que llevan operando en esta ciudad aún no hayan sido demandados por ese motivo. Es mi humilde opinión y espero puedan hacer honor a lo que ofrecen o quitar los carteles con ese anuncio. Gracias por el buen servicio en este local de Paincrest mis...
