Big Ray’s Fish Camp Grand Opening

IN Tampa, there has been much to “sail”-ebrate as constructions at the Tampa Convention Center offer exciting new experiences for convention-goers; locals and visitors alike. As part of the convention center’s capital improvement plan, The Sail Plaza received several upgrades to its existing 360-degree waterfront bar, The Sail, and the construction of a new building for Big Ray’s Fish Camp on the Riverwalk. Located along the scenic Tampa Riverwalk, the restaurants feature delectable bites & tropical cocktails, surrounded by breathtaking views.

The Sail received extensive upgrades like expanded seating, new shade structures, renovated restrooms, and an all-new, innovative cocktail menu. Operating alongside The Sail, Big Ray’s Fish Camp on the Riverwalk offers convention-goers and visitors delicious dishes from its beloved, original location in South Tampa.

Guests can choose from a new menu of mouthwatering options like conch fritters, grouper Reuben, oyster po’boy, blackened shrimp burgers, and more. If seafood isn’t the meal of your choice, the hot chicken sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, or the Big Ray’s ½lb Camp Burger are also local favorites. The whole family can enjoy this waterfront foodie haven, with minnow-sized meals like the fried shrimp basket or corn dog.

This past August, hundreds of thrilled guests from around the Tampa Bay area attended the much anticipated grand opening of The Sail Plaza’s Big Ray’s Fish Camp on the Riverwalk. The event featured drink specials, live music, yard games and more. Former Mayor, Bob Buckhorn; Mayor, Jane Castor; and Big Ray’s Fish Camp owner, Nick Cruz officially opened the area for business with a christening to the new building by sabering a bottle of champagne and a toast.

The Smart City Tampa team has played a significant role in the success of The Sail Plaza’s new additions. The Sail’s point-of-sale equipment and systems all received major upgrades. Smart City manages these new systems which have a direct fiber line back to the convention center. The team is also currently installing the latest in wireless technologies to provide complimentary wireless internet service for all restaurant guests and advanced services during private events.
