if you are going to the Keys here's a few hints to sound like a native (no Conch would ever say):
1. Mahi is called Dolphin. It's always been called that. Mahi is a marketing tool to keep tourists from thinking they were eating Flipper.
2. There is no such thing as a Goliath Grouper. It's a Jewfish (not an ethnic slur) just like the creek you have to cross to get to Key Largo.
3. The state park south of Marathon (Bahia Honda) is Bay ya honda. Yes the spanish pronunciation is Ba hee ya but Conch's aren't Spanish. I lived 3 years in the Pa. town DuBois. Pronounced Do Boys by residents, always go with the local pronunciation.
4. Florida Lobsters are Crawfish.
