A must-try in Clearwater: grouper sandwich edition 🐟💙

Tried Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill and it did not disappoint 🌊✨

Of course, we had to go for the Frenchy’s World Famous Grouper Sandwich 🐟

I ordered the buffalo version lightly fried, topped with lettuce, tomato, blue cheese dressing, and buffalo sauce on an onion roll… sooo good 😭🔥

My husband got the grilled version with tartar sauce, lettuce, tomato, and provolone on an onion roll, both were honestly delicious in their own way!

For drinks, I had the Coconut Margarita 🍹 made with 1800 Coconut Tequila, sour mix, pineapple, lime juice, and a Cointreau floater, super refreshing and perfect for the beach vibes. I loved it!

The place has live music, a very family-friendly and happy atmosphere, and it’s right by the ocean 🌅 You can tell it gets pretty busy around sunset, which makes sense because the views are beautiful.

Definitely a spot worth trying if you’re in Clearwater ✨

Frenchy's Rockaway Grill
5/1 Edited to

... Read moreVisiting Clearwater offers a unique opportunity to indulge in some of Florida’s finest seafood cuisine, and Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill truly stands out as a top destination for grouper lovers. Beyond the two standout sandwich versions—the buffalo, lightly fried and rich with blue cheese dressing and buffalo sauce, and the grilled with tangy tartar sauce and provolone—there’s a remarkable atmosphere that makes dining here memorable. Personally, what I loved most was the combination of fresh ocean air and lively music that enhanced the entire experience. The setting right by the ocean lets you enjoy spectacular sunset views, making it not just about the food but the whole vibe. It felt energizing yet relaxing, perfect for families or friends looking to unwind. The Coconut Margarita is another highlight that complements the seafood flavors beautifully. Made with 1800 Coconut Tequila, pineapple, lime juice, sour mix, and a float of Cointreau, it's an expertly balanced cocktail that adds tropical flair and refreshment after a day by the beach. It’s definitely worth ordering if you enjoy cocktails that are both sweet and tangy. If you’re a seafood lover eager to explore local specialties, Frenchy’s also offers a great range of dishes beyond the famous grouper sandwiches, so it’s an ideal place to sample multiple flavors. The onion roll choice for the sandwich is unique and adds a savory depth that stands out compared to regular buns. While the place gets busy around sunset, it’s a testament to its popularity and the charming blend of high-quality food with a warm, welcoming environment. Whether you prefer the spicy buffalo style or the milder grilled sandwich, both options deliver on flavor and freshness. It’s an experience that nicely captures Clearwater’s coastal charm and culinary scene.

I’ve been to 18+ Caribbean islands and Grace Bay is still one of the few beaches that genuinely shocked me in person. The water is really that color. The beaches are that soft. And if you time it right, Turks feels completely different. A few things I learned: • May is one of the best times

two giant grouper tried to eat at the same time.
Disclaimer: It was not my intention to tease the fish. I genuinely jumped back because I was focused on one giant grouper, while the second one came out of right field and scared tf out of me. #fishfrenzycrew #florida #fishing #goliathgrouper #fish
