The Keys reef fish that appears on every serious Key West menu, usually pan-sautéed whole or filleted and finished with a fruit salsa, a citrus butter or a curry. Delicate, sweet and easy to overcook.
Yellowtail runs the reef line off the Keys year round and has been the local restaurant fish since long before the shrimp boats arrived. It is what Key West kitchens reach for when a menu says local catch, and each of the island's dining rooms treats it as a signature: Cafe Marquesa serves it crisp with shoestring potatoes, Seven Fish finishes it with a Thai curry sauce, and The Flaming Buoy Filet Co pairs it with banana salsa. The variation between those three plates is a fair summary of how Key West cooks: Caribbean fruit, Asian heat and old-school technique on the same fish.
