"It would be a mistake to not include a single place that serves coconut shrimp on this list. One of the best renditions is, surprisingly, at the restaurant of resort-wear brand Tommy Bahama. You’ll find a tropical-American menu of guava baby back ribs, blackened mahi mahi tacos, and of course that cliche-but-still-delightful coconut shrimp, fried to a perfect crisp. Plus, the rooftop bar and fire pits in the sand are hard to beat." - Martha Cheng
