Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish

We had a fantastic experience at Ted Peters! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived. If you visit, you can’t leave without trying the smoked fish spread—it was one of the highlights of our meal. The German potato salad was flavorful and perfectly prepared, and the smoked salmon was outstanding: fresh, tender, and packed with amazing smoky flavor. The atmosphere has a relaxed, old Florida charm that makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back!

The fish and salad were delicious, and the portions were huge—we ordered one serving to share. However, the place itself could use some renovation; perhaps the owner wanted to keep everything in its original state, but it really needed refurbishing and a good cleaning.

This place actually popped up on my Instagram feed, and since I was going to be in the area, I decided to make a special trip out here just to try it. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I actually extended my stay until Wednesday just to go—and I'm so glad I did! I had never had smoked mullet before; honestly, I didn't even know you could eat mullet! They had two other fish options available that were a bit more expensive, but I figured I had to give the original a try. It was actually pretty good and very tasty! I'm really glad it showed up on my feed so I could finally cross "eating smoked mullet" off my bucket list. They have a really cool bar and an outdoor seating area, but the day I went was just too hot and humid to sit outside. Thankfully, they have an indoor seating area with great air conditioning, which was definitely my choice for the day. Overall, a very good experience and well worth the wait!

Come here for the food and service, not the atmosphere. I don't think the facilities have changed since the day Ted opened. I've been coming here since I was a kid and I am a senior citizen now. Never have I had anything, but the smoked mullet. No one makes it better. TP is a jewel.
