Capri Fish House Restaurant

The colorful sailfish on the sign outside Capri Fish House Restaurant beckons diners into the restaurant, which rests on the shores of Johnson Bay between lanky palm trees. Inside the nautical-themed dining room, a large saltwater fish tank glows across rows of casual wooden tables, where servers place baskets of fresh fried fish while announcing updates about the daily catch. Outside, rows of rentable kayaks litter the white-sand beach, and a screened chickee hut equipped with a tiki bar encourages low-key meals with unobstructed views of the sunset, which occurs nearly every day. Owners Michael and Theresa Castellano center the Capri Fish House's focus on locally caught seafood—from Florida lobsters to fresh Gulf shrimp—seen on their extensive menu and across impressive spreads at the weekly Sunday buffet.
