Longing for the taste of savory, succulent, melt-in-your-mouth lobster without taking the plunge to catch it yourself? Key West has the answer: Lobster Best, a five-day celebration dedicated to the coastal crustacean.
Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 6 and running through Sunday, Aug. 10, select restaurants in Key West will serve their “Lobster Best,” so pick a few and indulge. Then, prepare your palate for a double dose of deliciousness when local chef and rum distiller Paul Menta takes the stage at the Key West Cooking School for two demonstrations on Saturday, Aug. 9.
Spiny lobster tails, crawfish and rock lobster will intersect at the Lost Kitchen’s Florida Keys Lobster Dinners Aug. 9-10. And closing out the week, Key West’s Artisan Market will host Lobster Best Key West Edition on Sunday, Aug. 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Higgs Beach.
Some of the participating restaurants include:
The Boat House, Half Shell Raw Bar, Miso Happy, Hogfish Bar & Grill, The Docks, DJ’s Clam Shack, Kaya Island Eats, Prime Steakhouse, Square Grouper Key West, Lola’s Bistro, Ocean Grill & Bar, A&B Lobster House, Conch Republic Seafood and Seaside Cafe.
