The Lower Gulf Coast Restaurants

Lower Gulf Coast Restaurant Reviews

In this part of Florida fresh seafood reigns supreme. Succulent native stone-crab claws, a particularly tasty treat, in season from mid-October through mid-May, are usually served hot with drawn butter or chilled with tangy mustard sauce. Supplies are typically steady, since claws regenerate in time for the next season. Other seafood specialties include fried-grouper sandwiches and Sanibel pink shrimp.
