Secrets of the Locals
- Do not pronounce the ch in Conch when ordering Conch Fritters (Konk)
- 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.
- Find and talk with locals. Ask questions. Listen to their stories. They may not always be true, but they'll always be entertaining.
