Part of the reason Flip Flop Republic has been a band so long, is because the guys love to find unique places to travel with unique food and drinks! Cedar Key fits that bill as a funky and unique island located a few miles into the Gulf of Mexico. This means some of the freshest seafood you will find anywhere in Florida! Cedar Key is known for farming clams, so you have to try those while in town, and luckily Tony’s Seafood has won best Clam Chowder in America three times! There is also a salad topped with Ice Cream that goes back to the 1920s! We’ve rounded up some of the best foodie items to try while on the island. Check it out!
