Hungry For More

The Florida Keys offer a fantastic variety of restaurants, but with the bounty of fresh seafood available it's not surprising that the cuisine of the Keys is largely built around the catch of the day. Conch: (Pronounced
"konk") this
large mollusk with a flaring pink shell was once so common in the Keys it gave its name to the locals. Although
none is actually harvested in Florida today, conch steaks, conch fritters, conch chowder, and conch salad, made
with shellfish imported from the Bahamas, remain an essential part of Florida Keys cuisine. Catch Of The Day: Usually Yellowtail, Snapper, Grouper, Yellowfin Tuna or Dolphin... don't worry it's not Flipper. This is the fish, not the mammal, also known as mahi-mahi. Key West Pink Shrimp:
Simply the best! In season during our cooler months.
