Let’s find out with this fun quiz — based entirely on the delicious fish and shellfish featured at The Wharf!
The Wharf’s Fresh Florida Fish Quiz
1. This white, flaky fish is a Florida staple. Mild in flavor, it’s perfect blackened, grilled, or fried — and it shines in sandwiches and platters. What is it?
Answer: Grouper
Featured at The Wharf: Try it in our Grouper Sandwich — a Wharf fan favorite!
Fun Fact: Red grouper is one of the most popular species in Florida waters, and it can live over 20 years!
2. This bottom-dwelling fish is popular in Southern cuisine and known for its mild flavor and slightly sweet taste. It’s often served fried with dipping sauce. What is it?
Answer: Catfish
Featured at The Wharf: Find it in our crispy Catfish Bites, served with comeback sauce — a Southern favorite!
Fun Fact: Catfish have taste buds all over their bodies (especially on their whisker-like barbels), which help them detect food in murky waters.
3. This buttery crustacean is served broiled, grilled, or in bisque. The tail meat is the star of high-end dishes everywhere. What is it?
Answer: Lobster
Featured at The Wharf: Found in our indulgent Lobster Oscar and scrumptious Seafood Pot Pie, plus the Seafood Tower.
Fun Fact: Florida’s spiny lobster has no claws — just delicious tail meat. It’s harvested using special lobster traps during a limited season.
4. This fish is mild, flaky, and rich — and a favorite for upscale plates. It pairs perfectly with bold glazes and creamy sides. Can you name it?
Answer: Sea Bass
Featured at The Wharf: The star of our Sesame Ginger Sea Bass, paired with garlic mashed potatoes and broccolini.
Fun Fact: Often called “Chilean sea bass” on menus, it’s actually Patagonian toothfish—marketed with a fancy name to make it more appealing (and it worked).
5. Sweet, pink, and super versatile, this crustacean is tossed in apps, pastas, and Southern comfort dishes alike. What is it?
Answer: Shrimp
Featured at The Wharf: Found in Sunset Shrimp, Shrimp & Grits, Seafood Tower, and Jambalaya Pasta.
Fun Fact: Florida pink shrimp from the Gulf are known for their extra sweet flavor — and they even “pop” when cooked just right.
6. This sea creature is fast, flexible, and often found deep-fried and served with marinara. It’s not a fish — but it’s a seafood favorite. What is it?
Answer: Squid
Featured at The Wharf: Featured in our Crispy Calamari appetizer — golden, tender, and perfect for sharing.
Fun Fact: Squid have been a part of Mediterranean and coastal cuisine for thousands of years. “Calamari” comes from the Italian word calamaro, meaning “ink pot” — a nod to both the shape and the cooking tradition.
7. Briny, bold, and sometimes raw — this shellfish is shucked, grilled, and slurped across the coast. Name it.
Answer: Oysters
Featured at The Wharf: Our oysters are served raw, charbroiled, or in our towering Seafood Tower.
Fun Fact: Oysters filter up to 50 gallons of water a day and are a sign of a healthy coastal ecosystem!
8. This sleek, deep-sea swimmer is prized for its rich, ruby-red meat and is often served raw or seared. It’s caught off the coast of Florida and featured in sushi-style appetizers. What is it?
Answer: Ahi Tuna (Yellowfin Tuna)
Featured at The Wharf: Found in our Ahi Tuna Stack — marinated tuna layered with avocado, lime, red onion, cilantro, and sweet soy glaze, served with crispy wonton chips.
Fun Fact: Ahi tuna can grow over 300 pounds and swim at speeds up to 50 mph, making them a thrilling catch for Florida deep-sea anglers!
