Hungry Tarpon Restaurant – World-Famous Ceviche & Legendary Keys Tiki Bar

Alright, food fanatics, buckle up because Doris and I just experienced a culinary explosion that’s going to have you running to book your own trip to the Florida Keys! We’re talking about Hungry Tarpon Restaurant, nestled in the heart of Robbie’s of Islamorada (77522 Overseas Hwy). This place is truly a LEGEND, spotted in National Geographic, Vogue, and The New York Times! With stellar reviews and a bayside deck lit with the soft glow of tiki torches, it’s the epitome of Florida Keys chill. This is a must-visit for anyone seeking a true celebrity seafood experience.

We came with a mission: to conquer the legendary Corvina Ceviche. And let me tell you, it was a mission accomplished! This isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill ceviche, friends. This is a WORLD-FAMOUS masterpiece. Picture this: succulent Corvina, dancing with vibrant red peppers, juicy tomatoes, a kick of jalapeño, the sweet embrace of pineapple, and a vibrant confetti of cilantro, all kissed with the tangy perfection of key lime juice. Served with those perfectly crunchy, sea-salted tortilla chips? Oh, the heavens opened up!

After the first bite, I understood the hype. The Corvina melted in my mouth. The freshness of each ingredient exploded in every single bite—this was a flavor PARTY! Packed with generous chunks of fish and bursting with freshness, it’s a dish that screams, “COME BACK FOR MORE!”

But Hungry Tarpon offers more than just epic ceviche. They’re pet-friendly (bring your furry best friend!), have fishing charters, and even offer a hook-and-cook experience, so you can truly savor the fruits of your labor. Our next visit is already planned! We’re eyeing the Cold Smoked Salmon BLT, featuring thinly sliced smoked salmon, applewood smoked bacon, and juicy tomato on herb-buttered white toast. Plus, they offer a solid variety of vegan and gluten-free dishes. The ambiance—the salty air, the gentle lapping of the water, and those incredible sunset views—is pure Keys bliss.

The ultimate FOMO moment comes from delaying your visit and missing out on the WORLD-FAMOUS Corvina Ceviche, which defined the flavor party, and the pure Keys bliss ambiance under the glowing tiki torches.
