Crystal River tarpons
 
I've been told there is a restaurant in Crystal River that has a lot of tarpon come to the nearby pier and you can feed them.

Does anyone know where this is or can give me more info?

It is illegal to feed any wildlife in Florida

I don't intend to feed tarpon, but would love for visitors to see the tarpon. However, I would like the name of the restaurant.

pete's pier is the place. just got back from there today. also, go to charlie's fish house. go out on the patio and look at the monster tarpon that are right there. the fish store next door feeds them the scraps from the fish that are brought in.
