A
Town House by the Sea
This elegant dining room overlooking the beach takes food seriously, so come seriously hungry. If you’ve been craving snails – and who hasn’t? – you’ll find escargot with a Jamaican twist. Equally rich is the stuffed lobster, red snapper or the filet mignon. If you’re merely peckish, choose from the pasta, curry and Jamaican dishes. The smoked marlin is one of the best on the island.

Seafood Giant
At the west end of Runaway Bay, it serves such dishes as jackfish with spinach roasted in foil or fried with bammy, plantain, rice and peas; otherwise order curried, creole or braised garlic shrimp. The filling meals are excellent value. However, if you pick your own fish, you’ll be charged ‘according to size.’

Diana’s Seafood Bar
A sky-blue shack serving steamed fish (US$4) and basic Jamaican fare. Diana is a pleasant lady who also has Diana’s Guest House; its one room has a double bed and an outside bathroom and toilet, but no electricity (it’s lit by a kerosene lamp). Rates here are negotiable.

Rodney Arms
Housed in a beautifully restored Georgian limestone building that was once the Old Water Police Station – where pirates and miscreant marines were detained – this excellent seafood haunt offers crab, a seafood platter, garlic shrimp and other local dishes.

So-So Seafood Bar & Grill
A casual place, known for its mellow after-work scene, which settles around the bar and two TV sets or sprawls into its outdoor patio. The seafood menu, divided into conch, shrimp, lobster and fish sections, belies the modesty of the name.
