Key West once thrived on conch fishing. Key West's other main contribution to the food chain is Key Lime pie. This, too, is everywhere. This is a tangy dessert made with key limes and topped with whipped cream. Ironically, conch is now also imported into Key West.
Fresh seafood is imported only from the adjacent ocean.
Located right on the water, it is as simple as a place can be, serving oysters, steamed shrimp and fish sandwiches with a view of fishing boats. Next door is Turtle Kraals, a good place for a post-meal beer. As the name implies, it is a haven for catches from the sea. Say hi to Cami, the friendly owner. Work off the dinner by going downstairs to Rhumba for salsa dancing.
