With no view of the sea or the city and just a few blocks from the airport, Catch of the Day does not have a location to recommend it, but it still manages to be a city institution and has been a popular dining spot for decades. It has a sports bar vibe, with island-themed décor and a nice spacious outdoor area with live music on most nights.
The food is traditional, seafood-focused, with fish, crab, shrimps, lobster and other sea critters featuring in such dishes as fish chowder or the popular seafood platter. The most popular dishes are the Flying Whole Red Snapper and the rich seafood paella, but the menu is enormous and there is something for everyone. The list of cocktails, wines, and beers is similarly extensive and the drinks are generous; no wonder the place is always packed!
