Sal’s Ballyhoo’s
If you’re driving a bit too fast down south, you may miss this unassuming gem of a restaurant that has been serving fresh seafood for over three decades. A casual space with indoor and outdoor seating, Ballyhoo’s serves fish with a southern twist. The whole fried snapper, for instance, is dusted with fried chicken flour, fried, and drizzled with garlic butter, and shrimp and oyster po’boy come on a Cuban roll with Tabasco mayo, a kicky take on the Nola staple. On weekend nights, chef/owner Sal serves up slow-cooked oxtail. It’s. So. Good. Sandwiches, salads, sliders, snacks, a fantastic vegan/vegetarian menu (try the fried pink tomatoes) make this one of the Keys’ most popular eateries. Good wine list and sangria, too.
