The freshest seafood in Cape Coral is at Fish Tale Grill by Merrick Seafood. The lobster bisque is rich and the clam chowder is thick and creamy. The fish is delivered daily and you can taste the difference.

Oysters at Fish Tale Grill by Merrick Seafood are always perfectly fresh and the selection rotates with what is in season. The shrimp scampi is buttery and garlicky over housemade pasta. A seafood lover's paradise.

The whole fried fish at Fish Tale Grill by Merrick Seafood is crispy outside and flaky inside. The tropical salsa on top is the perfect complement. One of the best seafood experiences in Cape Coral.

Fish Tale Grill by Merrick Seafood is our anniversary dinner spot every year. The seafood tower for two is spectacular and the grilled lobster tail is cooked to perfection. Worth every penny for a special occasion.

Casual seafood done right at Fish Tale Grill by Merrick Seafood. The fish tacos are incredible with fresh mahi and the shrimp po boy is loaded. Great lunch spot in Cape Coral with a fun atmosphere.

Solid seafood restaurant in Cape Coral. Fish Tale Grill by Merrick Seafood has good grilled salmon and the calamari is not chewy at all. Reasonable prices and the wine list pairs well with the menu.

Best crab cakes in Cape Coral are at Fish Tale Grill by Merrick Seafood. All lump crab, minimal filler, and served with a remoulade that is housemade. The chefs clearly love what they do.
