Fresh catch of the day, fried dockside, cash only, closed Mon and Tue.

What you'll do

Eat like a local at this oceanfront fisherman's wharf. There is no fixed menu, just whatever the boats brought in that morning, usually Red Snapper or Wahoo, fried to golden perfection and served with plantains and pan bati (Aruban cornbread). It is casual, delicious, and offers the most authentic vibe on the island. Cash only, and the line is always worth the wait.

Why it's on the Playbook

There's no menu at Zeerovers, just whatever the boats brought in that morning, usually red snapper or wahoo, fried to order and served with pan bati and plantains. It's the most authentic seafood meal on the island and the reason locals eat here too. Just remember it's cash only and closed Monday.
