As chefs Jeff McInnis and Janine Booth see it, their newest dining concept shouldn’t be revolutionary, at least not in Florida. Both McInnis, a Florida native, and the Australian-born Booth longed to celebrate the coastal traditions of fishing and eating responsibly caught fish; they were raised to think this way.

Like all first responders, I have seen up close and personal what we humans can do to each other. Perhaps that’s why I have a different outlook than most on the tragic […]
