Big Ray's Fish Camp
Ballast Point, Tampa|$$
What started as a tiny cinderblock shack near Ballast Point has become a Michelin-recommended seafood destination, named to the guide's list of America's best seafood shacks. The lobster corn dogs are the viral star, backed by superb grouper sandwiches, smoked fish spread, and fried shrimp. Order at the counter and eat at a picnic table — it's gloriously unfussy.
Why our team sends guests here
Get the lobster corn dog and a grouper sandwich, then drive five minutes to Ballast Point Pier for the bay view.
