La Camaronera
Best Fish Counter in Miami · FL
Stand-up fried shrimp since 1966
La Camaronera is a Little Havana fish counter the García brothers have run since 1966, when the family fish market added fryers and a U-shaped counter. The signature is the 'pan con minuta' — a whole fried snapper, tail sticking out of the bun — plus fried shrimp, oysters, and fish by the pound.
Standing-room and cash-quick, La Camaronera is a genuine working-class Miami institution: some of the freshest fried seafood in the city, served exactly as it has been for decades.
