Locals love seafood. However, you will not find the usual abundance of fish, shrimp, and squid here. Crabs, turtles, sea and freshwater crocodiles are popular here. Do you want to taste alligator meat? You should go to the city market. You will find it in the ranks of pork and beef there. Do you like sausage? Then you should look for a combination of pig and alligator meat with spices. It is popular among local residents. It has an acceptable cost.
Of course, nature does not provide such a number of alligators, which are consumed by residents of the state annually. So, the crocodile that you will eat is not caught by a brave hunter in shallow water but grown on a special farm. There is no damage to nature. The same goes for local turtles. Turtle meat is very popular as a hot appetizer and a first course. Turtle soup is one of the features of city restaurants.
If you get to the city around the middle or end of October, you can enjoy the delicious meat of the stone crab. The cooks do not cook the whole crab but only its claws and the magnificent, tender meat that is inside them. There is no harm to nature. Local fishermen do not kill crabs for the sake of the dish but simply tear off one claw and leave the second one for self-defense. The severed claw grows again after six months. However, you can enjoy crab dishes at any other time. They are added to salads, first dishes, and assorted seafood here.
