With two coastlines, seafood is extremely popular in Central Florida. Some favorite dishes in the area include:
Conch (pronounced "conk") - These chewy clams are served tenderized with lime juice, raw, and chopped in salad. Also chopped, breaded, and fried as conch fritters and in conch chowder (usually red and spicy).
Mahi Mahi - A firm, white fleshed fish; delicious when served grilled, blackened or Cajun-style.
Grouper - One of the mildest fishes available; served fried, blackened, broiled, or grilled as an entree. Fried grouper sandwiches are also popular.
Yellowfin Tuna - A firm, flavorful semi-dark meat fish often served grilled, broiled, or blackened.
Florida Lobster - Known as a spiny lobster, the Florida lobster has no claws like Maine lobster. Florida lobster tails are broiled and served with melted butter.
