The chefs at King Seafood Market & Restaurant have the largest pantry around: the open water. Their location in the Florida Keys sits at the nexus of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, where their own boats go out in search of stone crab, spiny lobster, mahi-mahi, and other species. On a good day, they might even bring home a blue marlin so big a forklift is required to raise it above the docks. In addition to their own catches, King Seafood sources fresh seafood from some of the best local anglers around.

Of course customers never see all that hard work, though they can't possibly miss the giant mural of Poseidon painted above the restaurant's entrance. Behind his powerful trident waits a casual dining room surrounded by blue walls, mounted fish, and other nautical decor. In an open kitchen, chefs fry and grill fish platters and sandwiches along with non-seafood dishes such as pork sandwiches or philly cheesesteaks. Alternatively, King Seafood's team sells fresh fish for customers to take home, assuming their freezers aren't completely filled with green popsicles nobody wants.
