Walt'z Fish Shak

Top quality, locally sourced seafood! If you’re looking to eat actually local seafood, this is the place. Our host/server, Sue, took her time explaining the menu to us. We got the blackened yellowedge grouper (sourced from the Gulf of Mexico) and grilled pink shrimp (sourced from the FL Keys) and both were amazing! We could easily taste the freshness of the ingredients. To finalize the experience, we had their key lime pie, which is a family recipe from the Keys. Do yourself a favor and eat locally sourced seafood that is prepared with care and attention. Highly recommend this restaurant!

The food is delicious with lots of flavor. We had the yellow edge grouper and the American red snapper meals. F A B U L O U S!

Highly recommend…arrive early as they only serve fresh fish caught that same day!! They ran out of fish and had to turn a few folks away.

Looking for great seafood John’s Pass Seafood Fest weekend and opted for a sit down vs stand in line lunch. Great luck finding Walt’z. Sat at the bar, had the fish spread-as I do where ever I find it-was a bit sweeter and served with Vegs than I’m used to, but good. Then the lightly fried Grouper Cakes and lightly battered Mahi fingers. All very good!

Small dining spaces, porches, bar, tables and outside seating. Note the menu is on many chalkboards approaching and in the Resto.

Great service, appears to be family run.
Had a live music for fest weekend.

We had dinner at Waltz’s Crab Shak last night.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess told us they only serve fish - no steak, chicken, or fries. Just fish. Fresh fish that was caught that day!

We weren’t sure what to expect but we went ahead and sat down. We were glad we did as the fish entrees were excellent! The service was great. We started off with the Fish Spread. Very tasty! I would highly recommend it.

We had Yellow Edge Grouper Blackened, Yellow Edge Grouper Lightly Fried, and Blue Crab Cakes. They were all delicious!

For our sides, we had two choices: beach slaw and island rice with peas or an organic spring mix salad, the three of us each selected beach slaw and island rice with peas. It was a good choice as it was very tasty! .

The restaurant was small. The waitress said sometimes there is a long wait or they run out of food. We were lucky as last night they were not very busy.

The menu changes daily as the entrees are based on what is caught that day. The menu is written on a chalkboard. Once they run out of fish, they stop serving.

We will go back to Waltz’s Fish Shak. The food was delicious. Next time we are going to save room for a piece of Key Lime Pie.
