The Seafood Diet
By Nycole Sariol It’s officially Stone Crab Season and South Beach kicked off this momentous inauguration of the sea with the 1st Annual Hess Select South Beach Seafood Festival! Flip flops rummaged through the baby powder-like sand as people raced from line to line, devouring the likes of the finest cooked crustaceans and prized catch of the day. Amongst the selected 10 restaurants to participate in such an oceanic jubilation were local heavy-hitters Café Avanti, City Hall The Restaurant and Red The Steakhouse, to name a few. Each restaurant that partook in this SoBe seafood shuffle carefully selected their favorite under-the-sea chart-toppers, some taking shape as stone crab claws and mahi-mahi sliders. Live entertainment commanded presence in the sea salt ridden air as guests munched on their soft-shell delights and sipped their chilled Sauvignon Blancs, watching their kiddies vault themselves back and forth in the bounce houses that resided within The Kid Zone.
