"The actual golden rule at this palapa is: order anything fried, and you’re good. That includes light and sweet conch fritters, stuffed po’ boys, and crunchy coconut shrimp. There are two tiki situations to choose from at Golden Rule (the grand or garden hut). We like the grand—it’s about the size of an airplane hangar, has lots of TVs, and mini waterfalls that sound like background noise at a day spa. But the really cool thing about these palapas is that there’s a small indoor fish market filled with nautical tchotchkes right next to them. There, you can buy alligator meat, stone crabs, and a lot more." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
