Cuban Food - If in Tampa go to The Columbia Restauant in Ybor City. It's famous.

Don't forget about the Apalachicola Bay Oysters - Cold on the half shell w/ a little lemon, coctail sauce and horseradish. We took the family to St. George Island last week, the four of us probably ate a few hundred.

Las time i was a in Florida went to few good restaurants but i feel sea food of Florida is worth trying for a change!

Cat, but it's no longer on the menu and probably won't be for awhile and if it is, it's too tough to eat.

There are two Floridas. The north is southern and the south is northern. So which part are you going to?
