Discover Red Fish Aruba, a popular local seafood restaurant in Oranjestad that offers fresh, flavorful seafood in a relaxed and casual setting. Founded in 2013 by local fisherman Herbert “Herby” Merryweather, Red Fish was originally created to serve simple portions of freshly caught fish and shrimp by the pound. Today, the restaurant has expanded its menu while maintaining its focus on fresh local catches and authentic Aruban cuisine.

Seafood lovers can choose from deep-fried or grilled fresh fish, shrimp, fish-and-shrimp combinations, fish fillets, conch, lobster, seafood pasta, and a popular paella with lobster and shrimp. Traditional sides such as funchi, fried plantain, rice, and coleslaw add an unmistakable Caribbean touch to the meal. The menu also includes local favorites such as fish soup, conch fritters, and other island-inspired dishes.

Red Fish is especially appealing to travelers who want to experience Aruba like a local rather than dine in a formal resort setting. Its casual atmosphere, generous portions, freshly caught seafood, and approachable prices make it an excellent choice for families, couples, groups, and seafood enthusiasts.
