Food scene
Just a mix of eating and grocery stops to keep you away from the tourist traps. No particular order.
Hands down the best butcher on the gulf coast. High end meats, wines, cheese, etc. If you are looking to cook something extraordinary, definitely worth the trip. Try the Wagyu Teres Major (like filet but tastier) or Wagyu bone in rib-eye.

Be very careful buying seafood. Not all places are equal and tourists routinely overpay. This place is trustworthy, fair and has really good seafood. It’s where the locals go.

This is a must see watering hole. If you like dives, this is one of the best in the country. Bring the dogs, get a bushwacker, get a burger, wings or a pizza and watch the sunset listening to live music.

Not as good as Costello’s but much closer and does have a better meat department than any grocery store. Also, try one of their homemade sauces. Their spicy bbq sauce is the bomb! Fresh local produce as well.

More of an experience than where locals who know go for their seafood. Prepared food is uninspired and you have to watch out because their seafood is shipped in. Flounder may not be local but come from SE Asia. But you can get a lot of things you can’t get at other markets. Like northern fish, lobster, and fresh beignets. Really cool market but buyer beware on some stuff. Not where we go for a fresh piece of local snapper or grouper.
