Jane and Michael Stern have packaged a pretty good guide to Key West food, including favorites like conch fritters, jerked chicken, an assortment of lobster, crab, and fish dishes, and, of course, Key lime pie. For those with a soft spot for the Conch Republic (and I honeymooned there), you will love this cookbook.
