Star Fish Company — Cortez

This is the Florida seafood experience everyone thinks they're getting at those fancy waterfront restaurants but never actually does. Star Fish is in a tiny fishing village called Cortez near Bradenton — no credit cards, no frills, just the freshest blackened grouper you'll ever put in your mouth served out of cardboard containers while pelicans literally hang out next to your table. Jamie says this place proves you don't need a dress code or a reservation to have the best meal of your life.
