Blue Moon Fish Company

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Waterfront Seafood Done Right

Sitting directly on Fort Lauderdale's Intracoastal Waterway in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Blue Moon Fish Company has built its reputation on a straightforward promise: the freshest seafood available, prepared from scratch, with views to match. The restaurant draws guests for lunch, dinner, and an award-winning Sunday brunch, offering one of the more complete waterfront dining experiences on South Florida's coast.

What's on the Plate

Blue Moon Fish Company operates as a scratch kitchen, sourcing from the region's premier fish vendors and local farmers to keep the menu as close to the water as possible. The menu leans into seasonal availability — chef's specials have featured dishes like stuffed lobster tail and Kansas City cowboy steak, reflecting a kitchen willing to move beyond the expected. Fresh-caught seafood anchors every service, complemented by seasonal desserts that round out the meal without fuss.

The Wine List and the Recognition

Wine Spectator recognized Blue Moon Fish Company with its Award of Excellence in 2024, a distinction that speaks to the depth and curation of the wine program. The list spans old and new vine selections, broad enough to pair thoughtfully with the range of seafood on offer, and is presented by a waitstaff trained to guide guests through the options.

The Setting

The Intracoastal views are a genuine draw — not incidental backdrop but a central part of the experience. Outdoor seating brings guests close to the water, while the full-service bar, cocktail program, and happy hour (Monday through Saturday) give the space a relaxed, social energy that works equally well for a casual lunch or a special dinner. Private dining and catering options make it a practical choice for events as well.

For anyone seeking elevated seafood in the Fort Lauderdale area, Blue Moon Fish Company delivers substance alongside the scenery.
