The waters off Aruba’s coast are teeming with a variety of seafood. Some of the catches to look for while dining on the island includes mahi-mahi, snapper, grouper, wahoo, yellowfin tuna, Caribbean lobster, and shrimp. Try fish local style--pan-fried and served with a tomato-based creole sauce. Sample our traditional keri-keri (shredded, seasoned fresh fish), fish balls, or fish soup.

Seafood restaurants in Aruba are plentiful. This is only natural as fresh fish is caught here every day and has become a staple with the local community. The restaurants are also nice and varied. One will offer a delicious seafood buffet while the other will serve a-la-carte dishes.
