Sea Boil, Daytona Beach

Things get pretty messy at Sea Boil, so much so that servers give patrons "eating gloves." After donning their plastic gloves—some people go barehanded—guests dump plastic bags full of saucy crawfish onto tables draped in disposable white plastic coverings. They then get to work, cracking open the shells and sucking out the meat.

Bags always come with potatoes and miniature corn cobs, and they can also contain mussels, crab legs, blue crab, and lobster. The seafood arrives drenched in Cajun sauce, butter sauce, or lemon-pepper sauce.
