Got the blackened wahoo, which is a great fish. It came a little raw in the middle. I got the generic "it's suppose to be cooked like that" speech. No it's not and I doubt their wahoo is sushi grade (flash frozen). But they took it back happily and instead of penalizing me and nuking it to oblivion like many places, they cooked it just the right amount more and it was delicious. We also got blackened yellow snapper, which was terrible and too oily (which is weird because the blackened wahoo wasn't oily at all). read more

We ate at Papa Hughie's Seafood World last night (because my cousin started working there - thank you Jill for the fantastic service) and as suspected, Papa's did not let us down! We are regulars of Papa's Raw Bar and are so glad we went to Seafood World for dinner. The Hogfish Francaise was to die for! All our seafood was the freshest and absolutely delicious. We had blackened swordfish, fish & chips, hogfish Francaise, Brussels sprout hash (yum!), onion rings (best we've ever had!), salad and Bimini bread. Oh, and extra surprise...we were there on a Monday - 1/2 price bottles of wine night. You will not be disappointed - Go to where the locals eat - Highly recommend!! read more

Thanks to Coryn, our meal was amazing!! When I called for a reservation I mentioned the clam bake they offer, she immediately mentioned the quick sales of their lobster, she promised to hold two for our clam bake. The meal and the service was top shelf!! We will definitely be back. read more

We stopped at the Market to get some fish to grill. We ended up getting Mahi and Snapper, it was amazing, and so fresh. They also have a liquid jerk sauce, it was amazing on the fish and then we put it on the rice, I wish I could ship a gallon home. If you want the freshest fish around, this place is not only cheaper than the place up the road it also has a better product. read more

Excellent seafood and service! Hard to choose, so many great choices. Grouper was marvelous. farm raised oysters were good, but can't compare to the real thing. should not have had those. the key lime pie was the best I have had. i would go back just for that. read more

Our waitress has worked here for over 30 years and was extremely helpful. She took time to completely review the menu to my wife and I, pointing out several different items they are known for and several that are very unique. I have to see if my wife captured her name as I will definitely dine with her again! Since this was the first time we dined here, our waitress brought us samples of their stone crab salad mixture and the seafood vinaigrette with shrimp, fresh conch and crawfish. The vinagrette was extremely fresh and very delicious. I could make a meal out of it! I have had bad experiences with crawfish in the past but these were just delectable. The stone crab mixture was good but I felt a little less mayo was in order. My wife disagreed and devoured what was left and raved to our waitress how good it was. I ordered a mug of lobster bisque and the unstuffed fish which was a yellowtail snapper topped with crabmeat and lobster sauce. Lobster bisque: literally served in a coffee mug. Very rich with nice sized pieces of lobster. Be sure to stir it up or dig deep as mine settled to the bottom. One of the better lobster bisques I have had. The unstuffed fish, where oh where do I begin??? I could eat this every day of the week! I had mine prepared with the yellowtail and not only was the portion size large, the crab meat was plentiful and complemented this dish perfectly. No breading, breadcrumbs or filler, just snapper topped with crabmeat surrounded by broccoli and a delicious lobster sauce. The fish was prepared perfectly! The sauce did not overwhelm the dish and I devoured every last morsel of this meal, which I will certainly have again. My wife ordered the conch party. Which included conch chowder, cracked conch and conch fritters. BRING YOUR APPETITE if you order this!!! Mug of conch chowder, which I sampled and enjoyed, my wife raved. A full order of conch fritters followed, approximately 6-8. The homemade dipping sauce was nice and there were large pieces of conch to be found in each fritter! These were served piping hot! Following all of that a full dinner plate of cracked conch emerged for my wife's final course. A dent was barely made and she really enjoyed this. We are definitely coming back to try the seafood lasagna when it is on special again. Our waitress also added us to the call list for their next clam bake, so excited for that!!! Finally, don't let the front of the place scare you off or the seafood market area. Locals come in and out for fresh fish or a beer and chat with the staff. You see them select your fish if you're seated in the area and you can take anything home with you. read more

Hands down one of best dining experience -- the freshest seafood without all of the frills. Every point of the night was spectacular: complimentary valet, live music, attentive hostess and waiting staff, world-class seafood (scallops are a MUST HAVE), and a reasonable bill that was WELL WORTH it. Hands down, thank you SW Team! read more

Love Papa's. The food and vibe are amazing but even better service. Two times in two days. Steven and Aya were both incredible and we will be back until we get through the entire menu!! #Sandybottoms read more

This place was awesome Mark was our waiter and he was fantastic The music playing in the background was spectacular And Will was cleaning tables and sweeping floors like a boss. Wife had crab and I had swordfish and both were perfection. we will definitely be back this week for more great service and food . This will become one of our go to spot in Deerfield Beach for years to come read more

This place offers outstanding seafood-its fresh and prepared perfectly! The portions are appropriate for the price and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and good people. The decor reminds me of a pub you would find in a fishing village in new england--comfortable, relaxed, yet authentic. I have pretty high standards, especially when it comes to seafood, and this place exceeds them. read more

Sorry .... but I must sadly down grade my prior 5 star review to one star based on today's dining experience ..As follows: The oysters Rockefeller which I previously enjoyed were under cooked and slimy....The coleslaw was tasteless. But be prepared for the worst culinary dining experience in Broward County if you order Capt.Doll's Platter....which includes a broiled local lobster tail, snow crab legs and blackened shrimp...The briney lobster tail, if placed in a bottle of iodine would have have been right at home & properly labeled....how could the chef dare serve this this thawed out piece of frozen "bromine" crap to the shell fish loving public for $44.95 a long with the snow crab legs which needed a skilled surgeon to extract the sparse crab shell adhering meat...The blackened shrimp were edible but forgettable....We complained ....and our pleasant server had $10 removed from our tab...So be it. I doubt if we will return...once burnt ,twice learnt....what happened ?? Did you get a new chef?? read more

Fresh seafood, done right. Great quality, and customer service. When I called to make reservations, I spoke to the most pleasant man on the phone, only to be greeted by the sweetest hostess, and had a helpful and knowledgeable waitress. I recommend fried shrimp and crab rangoon appetizers. Lobster bisque was wonderful as well. All of the food was very flavorful, in a way that they enhanced the natural flavors and not over powered them with a lot of seasonings and spices. read more

I don't know where to start. I was graciously invited to dinner here. As I wasn't very hungry, I decided on conch chowder & Bimini bread. My friend ordered the turf & surf, a special this night. Service was just ok. The chowder was the worst I've ever had. It had absolutely no flavor, no heat. I borrowed hot sauce from the table next to me, that couldn't even make it edible. The Bimini bread was over baked. My friends steak, ordered medium rare, was still moving. I couldn't even cut the piece he shared. Never again. For the price point, there are better options & restaurants that season their food. read more

Seafood world is amazing!! We had the smoked fish dip, tuna yukke and the fish tacos with blackened mahi. Nicole was our waitress. The service was great and the food was amazing. The fish tacos were the best I ever had. Everything was fresh. We also had the Bimini bread which was yummy too. Highly recommend this place!!! read more

Very sadly disappointed! Let me at least start off by being somewhat positive though. My server, Mary, was great and she did the best she could for what was going to be an uphill battle. It starts by calling a couple days early to try and make a reservation, which would only be taken for parties of 6 or more. I was only a party of two. Mind you I'm making this reservation because I'm going on Good Friday. Likely, the busiest seafood day of the year. In calling ahead I ask if they serve whole fried snapper. Red or yellow tail preferably. I was assured they did, even though I didn't see it anywhere on the menu. Upon arrival, I see no whole fish behind the glass except for a single HUGE Hogfish Snapper. I ask again just to be sure, and if not to still be able to go somewhere else. This time hostess, if I would be able to get whole fried snapper. And of course she says yes. While I'm waiting for a table a gentleman comes up and begins to small talk a bit with me. I assume he is a manager, or really an owner of some sort. I also ask him about the whole fried fish to which he assures me yes. And says,"I just bought that Hogfish in today." I'm starting to get a bit worried. I have now asked this question 3 times to 3 different people with the same response! At this point it is 8 on Good Friday, and all other similar restaurants I knew of were in Miami and at least 45 minutes away, and we were being seated. Again I review the menu and ask the waitress, Mary, if I could get whole fried snapper. Her response is, "let me check on that." This made me realize, exactly what I was afraid of was about to be. Mary comes back over with that same 1 Hogfish and says "this is the only whole fish we have." That sucker was ridiculous in size at 2.2 pounds! I'm furious! After getting over it I say screw it I'll take the Hogfish. It's just under $16 a pound, but at least I was getting a whole fried fish which is what I wanted. Mary to make up for everything promised discount and even offered an extra app. No need though, that fish is 2 freaking pounds! Finally it comes to me and as I see it now fried it's literally cut to pieces almost! It was cut open 4 times on each side. Like a tic-tac-toe grid. Then fried. It basically created pull off fried chunks of fish. On top of that, it wasn't pan fried, it was deep fried! I'm no chef, but I know that you absolutely do not cook that kind of fish like that. Sure enough it was totally over cooked! Fried hard in most parts. Did I eat the whole thing? Yes. It was gonna cost $38 so you better believe I ate it. It wasn't awful. It just wasn't good! And not what I wanted for the one day out of the year I go out for a fish dinner. I needed limes to flavor the dry over cooked fish and those limes were even dryer than the fish was. Had to have been at least a day old. Mary came through on the discount, which didn't make up for things but at least helped on the high cost of something I wasn't pleased with from the start. Again Mary was fantastic all things considered. My girlfriend got the Teriyaki Salmon and she liked it. And we got the Swordfish bites as an app. That was the best thing either of us had all night. Needless to say I won't be going back ever again. Talk about a bad first experience. Seemed like a cute quaint place that I would have liked to go back to but not now. Lastly, after finishing my meal i went to the bathroom to wash my hands. Small, tight, men's bathroom so the door was slightly ajar and I left it that way as I was only quickly washing my hands. Smelled kinda funky, but again it was a single, small bathroom. As I turn to find paper towels I see the toilet with poop literally smeared all over it! It was so bad, I immediately turn to step out the door and tell the first person I see, at the service counter, "the men's bathroom is a disaster!' Make of that what you will. Unfortunately the lesson here to the owners and managers is, don't promise what you can't deliver! read more

It's a great place I've been there many times I highly recommend it. Some of the employees have been there 30 plus years is very pleasant very clean very quiet read more

Papa’s Fish House - Seafood Near Me - Lighthouse Point, Florida

My son and I went there for dinner. The maître d was very nice and efficient, we were seated and given drinks quickly. Then we waited and waited and waited to order. They were busy and I understand that but what happened when I asked the waitress a question regarding the clam chowder really bothered me. She was the middle aged lady with curly long hair. I simply asked what the difference was between the two sizes of clam chowder. She was rude and said price and size. Really I knew that, all I needed to know was that one was a bowl and the other in a cup. Really turned me off. We also had no followup. Maybe it was a bad day or she did not like my son and I but we are very nice and easy going people. We ordered the stone crab claws, a dozen oysters, a bowl of clam chowder and lobster mac and chees. The stone crab claws were delicious, they were fresh and came in that day so can't really go wrong. The clam chowder was very hardy, not delicate. The oysters were large but not very tasty. My son did not eat most of his lobster mac and cheese. The lobster was rubbery and tasteless and the mac and cheese had way too much cheese sauce that obliterated the macaroni which was not even used, they used pasta shells. I guess they had a different interpretation of mac and cheese. Now to prove I am a nice and easy going guy, I still tipped the waitress over 10%. I did not have to but I do appreciate that people work hard in a restaurant. I worked in one whilst studying too. I was quite surprized as when I called in, a gentleman was really nice when we made our reservation, indicating they don't usually reserve for two but he made an exception for me. I was looking forward to a good experience after that...too bad. read more

Wow, everything was awesome! Lived the crabcakes, hog snapper, lobster and more! Amazing!!! read more

Papa’s Fish House - Awesome - Seafood Near Me - Lighthouse Point, Florida

I got the parmesan mahi mahi and it was very fresh. The portion was very generous and the price was $28. In my opinion the restaurant itself was a bit outdated and their prices are extremely high. I am giving them 4 stars because the food was good but won't be coming back again. read more

Sorry to say we used to love this place. 2x now we called to see if they had the fish we like. Double checked to make sure BEFORE we left. Got there at 5:15 waiter says "sold out"? Not with a straight face either. What? I just called at 4:30? Again bait &Switch. They are not wasting my precious time ever again. Much less your wait staff suffers. Also why dont you pay a decent bakery for good bread. You buy DAY OLD bread from stores and passover it off on customers. You can thank your waitstaff for that info. Never to return. read more

The food is amazing!! Everything is so fresh, everyone is so nice... Looking for seafood, this is a definite.. They also have a decent craft beer selection. We have ordered sushi in the past and had it delivered but this was our first dine-in experience, it won't be out last!! read more

Ate here tonight for the first time and was very pleased! Greeted at the door by 2 friendly hostesses, and our server Amanda was just amazing! She was super friendly and helpful, on top of it! The food was delicious! I had the tuna steak with calamari salad and it was perfect! My husband had shrimp and scallops pasta with vodka sauce and he finished it all! The clam chowder was delicious! Everything was very fresh. Overall great experience!!! read more

Great seafood, especially the Hogfish. Everything's fresh. And good service. Definitely need reservations & parking is a pain so get there early. read more

We have been a regular customer for the past few years, purchasing seafood every week. Two weeks ago we purchased 16 large stone crabs for $148.00. We had to throw out 1/2 of them because they were mushy, stringy and foul tasting. I understand how this can happen, but when we went back to the counter to share our experience we were told that the owner would call us. We never received a call. We will no longer purchase anything here. read more

Had a full meal with family. Conch fritters and clam chowder a must to start. Littlenecks were cold and fresh. The fried platter was excellent especially the fried scallops. The special made deep fried snapper was not to my taste but the others who had it loved it. I enjoyed the cole slaw. My companions were regulars and the service was EXCEPTIONAL most likely in their honor. See pictures. Well done. read more

Finally, we found a local fish restaurant that doesn't disappoint. Delicious. Curbside service.

My coworker suggested I try this place because it had good seafood. I was a little scared by the look from the outside but inside it was totally different and quaint. It had kind of a homey feeling. I believe there was only one waitress for the entire restaurant but she was quick, nice and efficient, I was impressed! I had the clam chowder which was a little watery for my taste but still tasted good. The conch fritters were great. I had a hog snapper sandwich which was good, the fries were a little ehhh, they could have been better, but overall I would definitely come back. read more

Amazing, simply amazing. My husband ordered the seared tuna and it would have fed us both. I got the lump crab cocktail that came as two yummy crabstyle cakes. The gluten free menu was simply marked on the regular menu and not a tiny piece of paper after thought. The whole experience was perfect. read more

Papa’s Fish House - Amazing serving of tuna. - Seafood Near Me - Lighthouse Point, Florida

Went for the first time because we heard the food was very good. Never found out. We left before we even finished our first drink. Staff is very young and apparently very immature. Our waitress became very annoyed when after watching her chit chatting with another couple for almost ten minutes I excused myself and said we were ready to order. She then, in a very loud voice, stated that she was busy and would get to us when she was done. We then paid for our drinks and left. Could be we had the only rude server bit she was very comfortable acting the way she did so I doubt it. There are too many other places to dine that hire mature and professional staff. read more

Really was hopeful for yummy seafood. Our favorite thing to order is conch salad & this was AWFUL. Conch seemed fresh but there was ZERO seasoning amongst the tomato, celery, & onion. Then we got the Paradise Pot & ran into the same problem-NO SEASONING AT ALL. Oh & draft beer (a Florida Lager) was $8.00. It's fallen into the trap that unfortunately a lot Florida seafood places do-under seasoned food to cater to an older clientele. So disappointed. read more

It's was a Saturday morning and I was just waking up. My girl asked me what did I want to do today. I was kinda tipsy from the night out with the boys so honestly I just wanted to recover but I promised to spend a day with her. She asked did I want to go to sea world. I shot up out of bed like a bat from hell "you dam right,let's go". She chuckles. "Ok,get ready. I'm driving". Works for me I thought to myself. I got so excited it was like I wasn't even tipsy anymore. I love sea animals! So we headed out and it was kinda far from where we live so I decided to take a nap so I can be fully sober by the time we get there. 30 minutes later "We're hereeee". I open my eyes lids excitedly but that excitement died quickly once I saw the business sign " hey,where tf we at, I thought we were going to sea world in Orlando"!!. She replied jokingly "Did I say Orlando,I wanted to take you somewhere nice. I started browsing on the Uber app to get back home but decided to take a deep breath and calm my nerve. We go inside and it actually didn't look that bad for a seaworld restaurant. I expected something less astonishing then it turned out to be. I first needed a drink to see if this place was worth staying and by Golly it was. "Three more of these please." I said tipsy. The waiter looked at me as if I hit the jackpot or she may have been surprised I was getting drunk before I order anything to eat. "Hey,don't judge me,I was expecting to see Moby dicks ancestor today but I guess I'm probably going to be eating him here." She stared in confusion and ask what were we eating today. I pointed at the couple across the way from us" I'll have whatever there having" I said mildly intoxicated. My girl was upset on how I was behaving but I didn't care I was having a good time. 15 mins later the food comes out and it smelled very exquisite plus it tasted good too. To end a long story this place is highly recommended. I suggest if your girlfriend or date tells you she's driving to Seaworld be sure to confirm which one because from my experience both are 5 stars!!! read more

Extremely disappointed with this place. We went based on reviews and it was AWFUL. The service was atrocious, the food was awful. I ordered the $35 swordfish and it was raw & tough, couldn't even cut through. The server told us she'd comp us a dessert, we chose key lime pie, didn't taste at all like key lime. Dominique also told us when she brought the bill that she tried her "best to hide from the camera" to comp the wine. $85 later traveling from D.C. for fish & key lime pie and beyond disappointed. Shady place with horrible service & food, DON'T BOTHER. read more

Man I love this place. Can you say foodgasm? I was there a week ago for friends birthday. Had the wahoo bites and ceviche. Very good. Great cracked conch as well. Have not found but one other good place for conch outside the keys or Bahamas. Decent wine menu as well. Never had a bad meal here and often will order fish dip or buy fresh seafood from the deli area. The place is small and always packed. Service is usually pretty good but had to give five stars because the food. Well worth the wait! read more

Nicole was amazing and so friendly. She was great with the introduction and the history of this restaurant. They have the freshest fish around and the Grouper tacos are to die. Everything was amazing from start to finish. The owner came out and checked on us and our meal. If you're visiting lighthouse point or the Deerfield beach area this is a must If you're a little further away it's definitely worth the drive... Five stars - We will be back again soon. read more
