Tin Fish, Port St. Lucie

Written by Leann Pettit
While driving around Central Florida, we stopped at Tin Fish Restaurant in Port St. Lucie. The place was located in a strip mall and looked very unassuming from the outside. Inside, the place felt like the local hang out, everyone knew each other, and the waitstaff was friendly.

We ordered the the Mahi-Mahi fish sandwich and the Tin Fish's Famous Fish Sandwich. Both were served fried and with a side of slaw. The Famous sandwich was served on a long hoagie roll and and the Mahi-Mahi sandwich served on a bun, both very fresh and soft.

The slaw was vinegar based - no mayonnaise here! - and heavily seasoned with fresh herbs. Both sandwiches also came with a side of fries or onion rings, we ordered one of each. The waffle cut fries were seasoned with Old Bay and well cooked, and the onion rings definitely tasted like they are house breaded and fried, and very, very good, and served with a tangy dipping sauce (also delicious on the fishes).

The famous sandwich was made with cod, there was a lot of of fish on the sandwich and the fish was juicy and tender and the breading was crispy and tasty. The mahi-mahi was perfectly cooked to my tastes - juicy with a nice large flake, and a similarly tasting breading. The mahi-mahi sandwich is ordered to your specifications, with whatever you want on it. We ordered it with lettuce and tomato, but they would have put just about anything on it.
