An All-You-Can-Eat Seafood Spread Draws Crowds To This Buffet In Florida

Endless crab legs come with every dinner buffet here. Not as a pricey add-on you have to argue yourself into, but right there in the deal. I admit that detail alone would get me in the car. Then you add fried oysters, deviled crab, boiled shrimp, and grilled fish, and the plan gets serious.
