Secrets of the Locals

1. Do not pronounce the ch in Conch when ordering Conch Fritters (Konk)
2. Order the Dolphin. It's not flipper. Mainlanders call it Mahi-Mahi, but don't order it using that name in the Keys. Say Dolphin.
3. Find and talk with locals. Ask questions. Listen to their stories. They may not always be true, but they'll always be entertaining.
