Is Fishes & More worth it? For a relaxed seafood dinner on Palm Beach, our Fishes & More Aruba review says yes: the menu runs from corvina and Cajun mahi-mahi to a lobster seafood pasta, there is live music every night, and a separate vegan menu gives plant-based diners a full meal of their own. In Your Pocket says it has ranked among its own Palm Beach favorites for more than ten years. Here is what the room is like, what guests mention and what to order.

A nautical dining room with music every night

Fishes & More sits at Arawak Garden on Palm Beach, with seating indoors and outdoors. In Your Pocket describes a nautical theme inside, with a large undersea mural and a nearly life-size wooden dolphin. aruba.com lists nightly live entertainment, so dinner comes with music.

aruba.com also describes the restaurant as known for its daily changing specials, and there is an early bird dinner early in the evening, so ask about both before you settle on a main. In Your Pocket adds that portions are generous and names grouper and lobster as house specialties, and it mentions an extensive wine list.

What guests mention

Two themes come up across the review pages we read. The first is the vegan menu: plant-based diners on HappyCow often mention that it is a separate menu with starters, mains and dessert, and Wanderlog’s review summary also points to the vegan options alongside the seafood. The second is the staff: HappyCow reviewers mention friendly, attentive service, and Wanderlog’s summary describes the staff as friendly.

What to order at Fishes & More

The current dinner menu is built around seafood, with a few solid choices from the land. Our picks, in our own words:

  • Tuna and salmon tartare with fried avocado and wakame salad, or calamari and crab with jalapeño tartar sauce, to start.
  • Fish soup with the catch of the day, calamari, mussels, shrimp and scallops.
  • Corvina with pumpkin purée, Brussels sprouts and a seafood sauce.
  • Cajun mahi-mahi with sweet potato purée.
  • Shrimp and scallops over truffle risotto with a Gouda cheese sauce.
  • ‘Pika di Papaya’ shrimp with couscous, zucchini noodles and pika di papaya sauce.
  • Lobster seafood pasta with mussels, scallops, calamari and shrimp, for a bigger night.

Meat eaters can pick the filet mignon, the surf and turf or the herb-crusted rack of lamb. The vegan menu is labeled 100% vegan and gluten-free: the Calamari Vegani is made from hearts of palm, and the mains include a portobello stuffed chickpea piccata, a sea-inspired platter and a tropical tofu tower, with a peanut butter brownie to finish. For a lighter start, the soups also include a French onion soup and a seafood chowder.

Who Fishes & More suits

It works for several kinds of evenings. Couples can take an outdoor table for a relaxed seafood dinner, and groups with mixed tastes are easy to please, since the menus cover fish, meat and vegan dishes. A good plan for a group: share a couple of starters such as the tartare and the calamari and crab, then let everyone pick a main from the seafood, meat or vegan side of the menu. For families, aruba.com lists a kids’ menu and a playground.
