Wacky Wahoo Aruba is a small Palm Beach–area fish house with a cult following and a chef, Harald, who treats the daily catch like a religion. Ask any repeat visitor for one dinner reservation worth planning around — this name comes up first.
What to order at Wacky Wahoo
- The catch of the day, however it is prepared — wahoo, mahi, or snapper straight off local boats.
- The seafood mix grill, when you cannot choose.
- Whatever the chef recommends; in this room, that advice is gospel.
Know before you go
The dining room is tiny, so reservations are close to mandatory in high season. Book days ahead, not hours. Prices sit in the mid-range — and reviewers on the official Aruba tourism site agree — noticeably fairer than the strip’s resort restaurants for far better fish.
