Modern Caribbean seafood in a casual gastropub format

The strongest reason to choose Flying Fish GastroBar is its middle lane: modern Caribbean seafood in a relaxed gastropub setting. The appeal is the combination of seafood, casual dress, enough listed menu variety to suit diners looking for a straightforward Freeport meal.

Order from the seafood and gastropub crossover rather than treating the menu like a generic burger-and-fries stop. The signature 72 hour short rib is the non-seafood anchor, while seared rare tuna with crispy polenta, Fish & Chips, Spicy Shrimp Curry, the Spicy Blueberry Burger give different ways into the kitchen’s range. The better strategy is to mix one seafood dish with one richer gastropub plate, especially if the table is sharing.

Flying Fish GastroBar has a confirmed recognition: the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2026. Keep the expectation grounded, though: this is still a casual modern Caribbean seafood gastropub in Freeport.
