Then Emeril travels to Jacksonville Beach to visit "Marker 32". Located in a marina "Marker 32" is a highly rated, long-time favorite in the area serving fresh, local Florida seafood. Emeril then travels to Miami Beach to "Monty's Sunset", a relaxed, waterside restaurant and bar with simple, fresh food and raw offerings that Emeril has visited and enjoyed many times before. Fresh Florida seafood is again the order of the day and in the final segment Emeril prepares another of his favorites, Marinated Crab Claws.
