What you see isn't what you get in Fort Lauderdale. There's way more than meets the eye if you know what you're looking for. How in the heck, you might ask, are you supposed to find those off-the-beaten-track treasures? Well, that's easy. Intown411 is here to help you find your way. First, we'd like to introduce 15th Street Fisheries.
Tucked way in the back of the quiet residential Rio Vista neighborhood, south of 17th Street Causeway (turn off 17th at Cordova, make a right on 15th and take it all the way to the end of the road), 15th Street Fisheries is a hard, but worthy find...
The restaurant is, in a sense, two restaurants in one. Upstairs, the formal red-lit dining room offers the area's best seafood, such as Jewels of the Sea (a combination of mussels in shell, 1/2 Maine lobster, diver scallops, shrimp and fish), in an elegant dining room; the downstairs dining room serves high-quality casual fare, such as conch salad, conch fritters, raw oysters, steamed clams, fried alligator and sandwiches. You can't miss the sprawling complex from the water though; the boatless might even want to consider taking the Water Taxi. Bring your children or the child that resides within your heart to 15th St between 5 and 6 p.m. to feed the tarpon, huge native fish that swim in Lauderdale waters. The waters are lit up from underneath, so you won't miss a thing.
