The menu includes dishes like the Captain’s Plate, a hearty combo of fried grouper nuggets, shrimp and oysters with sides like grit cakes and collard greens. ISLAND WAY GRILL • Clearwater; $$$ • One of the best spots for an alfresco lunch – or dinner – the outside deck overlooking Clearwater Bay is the place to be for sunsets, sushi and fresh seafood. Conveniently located right next to Clearwater Marine Aquarium, the lengthy menu runs the gamut from jumbo coconut shrimp with orange-ginger sauce to cedar plank-cooked salmon and wood fire-grilled steaks. MULLET’S FISH CAMP • St. Pete; $ • Enjoy all the typical fish camp staples here: smoked fish spread, grouper sandwiches, mahi tacos brimming with crunchy slaw and plump peel-and-eat shrimp. But the spot’s real secret lies in the smoked chicken wings, which are among the best in all of Tampa Bay. Get them with the Merman sauce, a sweet and vinegary elixir, and a side of the house blue cheese dressing.
