The Florida Keys are well know for spectacular fishing. Islamorada is called the Sportfishing Capitol of the World, everyone knows about Hemingway's angling exploits around Key West and Zane Grey made Long Key, in the Middle Keys, famous for catching bonefish and tarpon. Today they continue to be two of the most sought after fish in the Florida Keys despite that fact both aren't considered good table fare. While “Catch & Release” has become standard practice throughout the Florida Keys, we shouldn't forget there is a bounty of delicious seafood just waiting to please your palate. Whether you have been fishing the waters between Key Largo and Key West and brought home fresh seafood or have picked up your favorites at the local seafood market, the following recipes are sure to delight.
