Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish, eat & drink in South Pasadena, South Pasadena

On the road to St. Pete Beach, Ted Peters has been slow-smoking mullet, mahi, and salmon over red oak for over 70 years, serving it at open-air picnic-style counters alongside their legendary smoked fish spread and German potato salad. It survived recent hurricanes and keeps firing up the smoker just like always. Cash only, closed Monday and Tuesday — and worth planning around.

Why our team sends guests here

Bring cash, order the smoked fish spread with saltines and a cold beer, and get a tub to-go for your rental's fridge.
