We couldn’t wait to go back to the White Marlin after visiting last winter. Surprised to see lower ratings but went anyway. Yes, it is a little pricey but when scallops melt like butter in your mouth the place must be doing something right. The coconut shrimp appetizer is the bomb. It needs to be an entree. Caprese Salad, delicious and enough for two. The staff are all congenial and helpful. There are cheaper choices in Port St Joe, but the quality is not the same. Yo Mamma’s is the only other place I would recommend.
