Starting next Friday, Anastasia Island diners can enjoy a menu inspired by classic coastal seafood shacks. Jefe’s Fish Wagon will serve its offerings at Hornski’s Brewing Co. (100 Anastasia Blvd, St. Augustine, FL 32080), south of the Bridge of Lions.
The McNallys drew inspiration from trips to South Carolina’s Lowcountry and the coastal beaches of Puerto Rico, where they frequented laid-back seafood spots. These experiences drove them towards fish camps, beach kiosks, and seafood shacks that serve fresh seafood.

Sides include Hoppin’ John and Hurricane Fries – crispy, hand-cut fries smothered in chippy sauce, chimichurri, and house-made datil-carrot hot sauce.
One standout, “Chips and Pickled Pepper Shrimp,” pairs hand-cut fries with local shrimp marinated in lemon, peppers, and onions.
A tropical take on ceviche, ‘The Poisson Cru’ will be presented with zippy lime and sweet coconut milk. A vegan offering at the food truck is Beet Poke, featuring ponzu, furikake, and more.
