And if it's seafood that you crave, locals know where to get the good stuff. Just ask them. Happiness is eating fresh, local seafood - don't be misled by those frozen bits and pieces flown in from Boston or Seattle. Why anyone in the restaurant business would ever think they could get away with doing that to Floridians is beyond me. If it's happy seafood, it's fresh, local seafood.
Locals always ask their servers where it comes from.
If they won't tell, we go find a place that will. We're slow and laid back. It's a fact that at certain times of the year, a traffic jam on Atlantic Avenue in New Smyrna Beach comprises two or three cars. In fact, there are occasions when you could actually throw a mattress out into the middle of A1A at bedtime, go to sleep and never get run over all night because there is just no traffic out there. Of course, you wouldn't want to try that during Bike Week or Biketoberfest.
