Our story

A Naples tradition since 1953

Kelly's Fish House Dining Room is proud to be the oldest seafood restaurant in Naples. This family-owned restaurant sits directly beside the Gordon River Bridge, cozily nestled on the east bank — an easy drive from anywhere in town.

Inside, it's casual Old Florida: warm cypress walls, a knotty pine ceiling and local commercial fishing artifacts that give the place a down-home feeling. Huge windows look out over the bustling Gordon River.

Local fishermen tie up right here, next to the Combs Fish Company building — the last working fish house in Naples. Out back, Capt. Hooch's Sand Bar Lounge is the perfect place for a balmy evening: gentle breezes, boats and sea birds, and maybe even a dolphin swimming by.

— and after Hurricane Ian, we're better than ever.

From our docks to your table

Stone Crab Season
October 15 – May 1

Our crabbers leave the dock before sunrise and return each evening, so you get the freshest stone crabs available. The crabs are cooked and graded right on our docks — those slatted boxes you see out there are stone crab traps.

Our crabs are caught between fifty yards and twenty miles offshore, between Sanibel to the north and Everglades City to the south. Egg-bearing females are never harvested, and stone crabs start to regenerate their claws within ninety days.
