JB's Fish Camp is a seafood restaurant on the water in New Smyrna Beach, on Florida's Atlantic coast. It serves fried clams, grilled fish, and steamed shrimp, with seating both inside and on an open deck facing the river.
The place started in the 1970s as a small wooden shack on the riverbank and grew over time into a full restaurant. It is now one of the oldest seafood spots in the area.
The restaurant keeps Florida's coastal dining traditions alive through how it prepares and serves fish, focusing on ingredients from the region. Visitors experience local eating customs firsthand when they come here.
The restaurant sits along Pompano Avenue and is open daily, making it easy to work into a day out. On sunny days the outdoor seats fill up fast, so arriving early is a good idea.
JB's Fish Camp also rents kayaks and paddleboards right on site, so visitors can get out on the water before or after eating. It is one of the few riverside restaurants in the area where you can combine a meal with a paddle.
