McT's Shrimp House & Tavern

At Fitzhugh St Cuisines: Seafood

About

Shrimp reigns at this casual Old Florida-style establishment, where at 4pm you'll see a line of people waiting outside for the early-bird specials served to the first 100 in the door. Shrimp here is prepared in at least a dozen ways, from steamed to fried in a coconut-and-almond batter. There is also grouper and swordfish, plus steaks and chicken for the land-minded, but I recommend sticking to the shrimp here. (The Timbers Restaurant & Fish Market, described below, does a much better job of cooking fish.) McT's Tavern has an extensive choice of appetizers and light dinners. All-you-can-eat peel-and-eat shrimp and stone crabs are available nightly, though if it's not stone-crab season (Oct-May), the crab will likely be frozen.
