Many years ago, back in the mid 70's, myself and another detective went on an extradition trip to Columbus, Ohio, from Miami, Fla. It was an overnight trip, picking up the prisoner the next day. We went to a seafood rest. that was originally a circa 1900's two story firehouse. Tables were on the first floor and the kitchen was on the second floor. When an order was ready they would ring the original fire bell and the waiter/waitress would slide down the original slide pole balancing the food tray. Crazy to watch.
Had the best seafood I've ever had outside of Main. Seafood flown in every other day, fresh. You could put togather your own platter.
To this day I still remember, jumbo shrimp boil, soft shell crab, and an order of fried smelt (I'd never had smelt before and they were soooo good). Roasted red skin potato chunks, fresh corn on the cob, and a full size loaf of fresh sourdough bread.
40 years later and I still think of that meal.
Than, there's the original Joe's Crab Shack on Miami Beach. Used to go there in the 60's and 70's before it became to popular to be affordable to the common folk.
