Whalers Seafood Restaurant & Bar (9am-8pm daily) is located in a second-floor unit at the center of the Ocho Rios Fishing Village, which received a makeover in 2019. The restaurant serves well prepared dishes like steamed, escoveitch and brown stewed fish, as well as lobster, conch and chicken (US$15-25), with indoor seating with A/C or outdoor on the balcony overlooking the beach. Loud music blaring in seeming competition from multiple restaurants in the complex can be bothersome on Sundays, but otherwise the venue is pleasant enough for couples and families alike.

Colorful paintings, vintage Marley photos, hanging gourd and wicker lamps and musical instruments adorn the walls.
