We’ll help you discover how to pick the right dish based on your craving, the occasion, and your personal taste, all while making the most of the menu at Fred’s, one of the most recognized seafood restaurants in Cancún.
Step 1: Craving something fresh or something warm?
Start by asking yourself:
Are you in the mood for something light and refreshing, or warm and comforting?
- Fresh craving? Try our Oysters, one of our Ceviches (Yucatecan, Salmon, or Coconut & Fish), or the Tuna Saku Tartar.
All light, vibrant, and full of flavor. - Warm craving? Go for our Shrimp Tacos, Grilled Fish Fillet, Fried Fish, or our signature Grilled Octopus.
Step 2: Do you prefer classic flavors or something new?
Fred’s offers dishes for every kind of seafood lover—those who stick to the classics and those who love to explore.
- Craving the classics? You can’t go wrong with a Lobster Tail, Fred’s-style Fish & Chips, or a bowl of comforting Clam Chowder.
- Feeling adventurous? Try our Grilled Salmon, the generous Seafood Platter, or the indulgent Neptune Surf & Turf—perfect for sharing.
Step 3: Are you into citrusy, smoky, or spicy flavors?
Your flavor profile can point you in the right direction:
- Citrusy: Salmon Tacos, Ceviches, and Aguachiles
- Smoky or grilled: Charcoal Grilled Octopus or seared fish fillets
- Spicy or bold: Tempura Tuna Bites or Mussels in Wine Sauce
Step 4: Pair it with the perfect drink
Our signature cocktails and curated wine list are crafted to complement every dish.
- Having a fresh ceviche? Pair it with a citrusy cocktail.
- Going for something buttery or with a crispy crust? A chilled white wine or glass of champagne will elevate it beautifully.
