Fresh-From-The-Boat Local Seafood
Some restaurants talk about fresh seafood, but Rusty Bellies actually delivers it. Several fish options on the menu come straight from local catches made that very day, meaning what lands on your plate was likely swimming in Gulf waters just hours before.
Regulars even recommend asking your server which locally caught fish are available on any given visit…
