What the creator captured
Eater explores how The Tides combines a high-end seafood market with a kitchen to ensure the freshest possible ingredients for their New Orleans-inspired menu. The owner highlights his commitment to quality by sourcing specific fish from over a dozen specialized vendors and using authentic Leidenheimer bread for his signature po' boys. The experience culminates in the creation of a blackened grouper sandwich that aims to be the quintessential Florida meal.

Local tips
- Carry cash when visiting the 9th Street Italian Market, as many traditional vendors and stalls do not accept credit cards.
- Avoid driving or parking in the neighborhood due to extremely narrow streets and limited permit-only spaces; walking or using rideshares is much more efficient.
- Stay alert and stick to well-lit main corridors like 9th Street or South Street when walking at night, as safety can vary significantly from block to block.
- Respect the local 'stoop culture' by keeping noise levels down in residential areas and avoiding sitting on private steps that aren't yours.
