At Blue Marlin, the ocean is at the heart of everything. Every dish celebrates the fresh, authentic flavors of the Bahamas, prepared with local ingredients and a whole lot of passion. Whether you’re stepping off a cruise ship or exploring downtown Nassau, here’s a taste of what’s waiting for you.
Start With the Classics
No visit begins without the starters. The conch fritters come with a Calypso dipping sauce and are a true island staple. For something fresh and light, the shrimp ceviche and the ahi tuna tostadas with avocado cream and jalapeños are perfect for a warm day by the water. Seafood lovers also rave about the Maryland-style mini crab cakes.
Seafood Mains Worth the Trip
Our main dishes are where the ocean really shines. The grilled lobster tail, served with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables, is a guest favorite, and the surf and turf pairs a grilled filet with shrimp, truffle mashed potatoes, and a red wine reduction. Other standouts include the blackened cajun salmon, garlic shrimp, and the stone crabs served with mustard sauce.
Casual Bites and Handhelds
If you’re after something more relaxed, the beer-battered fish tacos, the shrimp roll on toasted brioche, and the signature burger are easy, satisfying choices. There’s also an ortolana penne for those looking for a vegetarian option.
Cocktails and Cold Bar
Every meal is better with the right drink. Our cold bar highlights the freshness of the ocean, and our mixology program adds creativity to every visit, from craft cocktails to chilled wines and local beers, all designed to pair perfectly with the seafood.
