Forget the fine china and white linen. You can get your fill without draining your wallet (or money belt). The cheap restaurants of {0} sate your hunger for sumptuous value. These fuss-free places also offer the opportunity to rub shoulders with everyday locals. Get ready to dig in.
Stretching more than 100 miles into the open ocean, the Florida Keys can boast early settlers ranging from Bahamian fishermen to Cuban cigar makers and New England merchants. In such a rich melting pot, it's natural that the indigenous cuisine incorporates diverse and delicious influences - with a reliance on an abundant array of fish and seafood harvested from surrounding waters.
Commercial fishing, in fact, is the second-largest industry in the Keys. The fresh fish that graces a restaurant table at night was probably unloaded at the docks that morning, and fish and seafood headline nearly every restaurant menu.
But these menus are filled with fresh and affordable choices, many eateries offering five-dollar lunches that incorporate off-the-boat specialties. Shrimp po' boy? Conch fritters? Grouper nuggets? Seek and ye shall find.
