Tali's Crab Shack, Miami Gardens

Tali's Crab Shack's specialty may be the garlic blue crab—mounds of succulent meat draped in a buttery sauce—but their freshly steamed seafood options inspire tidal waves of flavor. Sea-feasts include clusters of golden crab as well combinations of Dungeness, Russian king, and snow varieties, all cooked in a variety of preparations. In addition to crab, this counter-service eatery serves up conch fritters, oyster shooters, and plenty of fried fish. The sides are diverse, ranging from garlic parsley potatoes and hardboiled eggs to corn and hush puppies—which really are much quieter than real puppies. Guests can also pair sea-inspired meals with cool Bahamian drink.
