Bumpa's Fish Shack, Tarpon Springs

At Bumpa's Fish Shack, the air is as fresh as the food, thanks to an open-air dining room where servers present fish and seafood caught that day. Macadamia-encrusted mahi mahi is drizzled with a coconut-lime sauce, and pan-seared scallops get a fresh tang from pink-grapefruit gastrique. Of course, there are steaks as well, Chairman's Reserve beef.

A full selection of wine and spirits awaits at the bar, where a marlin hung on a wall overlooks top-shelf liquors illuminated with blue light. Those who want even more of an ocean breeze than the dining room offers can take their meals out on the patio. Here, patrons and their leashed dogs or pet lobsters enjoy the gulf breezes.
