Stiltsville Fish Bar
This is now my last day in Miami and as always, I am sad to leave the sunshine and warmth of Miami Dade. This has been a fun trip so far and I’ve learned new things from the restaurant visits that I’ve done this trip.
Seafood is quite abundant in this part of the country and the quality and freshness is top of the line. The number of restaurants that serve good seafood here are outstanding but for me there is a place that stands out, Stiltsville Fish Bar. Located at 1787 Purdy Avenue across from the Sunset Harbour Waterfront.
This neighborhood is quite known for their restaurants and Stiltsville is always one of the busiest. Miami Spice Week is also currently happening right now, and they are one of the participating restaurants. Miami Spice Week is typically during the end of summer and various places offer prix fixe tasting menus at a discounted rate. We could not miss the opportunity to dine here this trip and glad that we were able to make reservations. We came as a group of 3 so we were able to share most of the dishes together and try everything on the menu.
We started though with the buffalo fish wings which is their signature dish appetizer and this was to die for. The crispy fish wings tossed in the buffalo sauce was a unique take on the classic chicken wings but with the fish fins and fatty gelatin it had such good flavors.
For starters I had the crab cakes which were served with the pickled root slaw and horseradish remoulade sauce. The local lump blue crab patty was perfectly seasoned, and the slaw was on point.
The other two appetizers we shared were the smoked fish dip which is by far my favorite and the… grilled mango salad which was so refreshing.
For my main course I opted for the grilled mahi mahi sandwich with cabbage slaw and house pickles.
We also shared the Stiltsville fried chicken which was both crispy and juicy while the
krab wedge salad was unique and different. Both dishes had good flavors and were interesting choices to be put on the prix fixe menu with no portion cutting by the way.
As their signature coconut key lime pie was being served to signify the near end of our meal.
I am so happy though that I was able to dine here and enjoy their dishes.
