And in Atlantic City, there's a neighborhood pub pullin' off knockout grub like a pork and brisket sandwich and savory tequila shrimp.

Smoke and Seafood

The Fish House (Key Largo, Fla.) • The Smoking Swine (Baltimore, Md.) • Islamorada Shrimp Shack (Islamorada, Fla.) This trip, Guy's firin' up the smoker and divin' into seafood. First up: a Key Largo market and restaurant smokin' up fantastic fish dip and puttin' out their own savory seafood specialties. In Baltimore, a food truck dishin' out killer barbecued pulled pork and righteous ribs. Then back to Florida where an Islamorada seaside shack is servin' standout shrimp fritters and doctorin' up Guy's own fresh catch.
