Two words - Keys Fisheries. It's been a long time since I have taken the time to write a rave review about a restaurant, but I really have to say... this place is INCREDIBLE. Not because it's fancy, cos it's SURE NOT fancy! You have to put your order in at the counter and pick up your tray when it's ready... you have to get your own fork and buy your beer at another counter... picnic tables rule the day.

But... MAN oh MAN... this is some fresh seafood. It's actually a fish house - they supply all the Stone Crab Claws to Joe's Stone Crab in Miami (the famous famous one), and it's the ONLY restaurant in America where you can actually get FRESH HOT Stone Crab claws right off the boat.

I just ate a platter of Hog Fish that was UNBELIEVABLE... I mean, Hog Fish is a rare delicacy and I would have been happy to get one nice fillet, but the serving looked like a lumberjack's STACK of flapjacks... big, fat, fresh - perfect.

OK - I'm ranting - but the view is unbelievable, the bartender is a nut who grows his own mint for your mojitos... the people are slightly crazy, which always makes me happy.

Go there. Right away. Turn on 35th street right by the Highway Patrol station - the road deadends in the parking lot of Keys Fisheries. Order some Stone Crab Claws and a platter of Hog Fish... get a cold cold beer with a lime, eat with a plastic fork on a paper plate, wipe your mouth with a paper towel and BE HAPPY!

Ha!
