Joey & Kimmy's Seafood Market & Restaurant | Our Story

From Fulton Fish Market to Vero Beach

Joey & Kimmy's started as a seafood shack at the farmers market and grew into something Vero Beach didn't know it needed — a place where the fish is impossibly fresh and any given Friday night might end with the whole room singing.

Joseph Fenyak (Joey) and Kim Coveny (Kimmy) have been serving Vero Beach for 10 years. We are excited to be celebrating our 10 Year Anniversary and have decided to change our business name to Joey & Kimmy's Seafood Market & Restaurant. Joey has over 30 years experience in the seafood business at the FULTON FRESH MARKET in New York City. Many locals also know Joey from the Vero Beach and Fort Pierce Farmers Market. Kim Coveny has been in the restaurant and entertainment business all her life. Together this pair is bringing delicious seafood with a delightful Italian flair and they provide a warm and friendly environment!

The food at Joey & Kimmy's Seafood Market & Restaurant is delicious, but the warm and friendly atmosphere is what makes Joey & Kimmy's a very special and different place. Dinning here will make you feel more like a dinner party at a friend's house. Kimmy plays the piano on Friday and Saturday evenings, customers sometimes bring their own musical instruments, they sing, dance and enjoy a fabulous time. Entertaining and providing great food are our passions.
Joey & Kimmy, Together From the Start

Joey & Kimmy, Together From the Start

Kimmy has been part of the story since the very beginning. After more than a decade of serving Vero Beach as Joey's Seafood Shack, the restaurant took on a name that celebrated them both: Joey & Kimmy's Seafood Market & Restaurant. Tina Rondeau captured this new chapter in her Vero Beach 32963 article, “Joey and Kimmy's Seafood Market & Restaurant: Bravo!” In 2018, we won first place at Taste of Vero with small bites of Kimmy's Eggplant Parmesan, Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail and Tropical Cole Slaw. Guests raved about the size and quality of the shrimp and the smooth creaminess of Kimmy's eggplant parmesan. Brittany Swartz of D&B Media shared the celebration in her coverage of the event.

On Friday evenings, Kimmy sits down at the piano and the room transforms. Guests pull out their own instruments, the whole dining room joins in — it's a dinner party, not a performance.
