KAY'S ISLAND GRILL – Seafood
A Caribbean and soul-food counter on NW 27th Avenue in Miami Gardens, where the seasoning does the talking. Dumplings come loaded with conch, shrimp or chicken - or all three, if you cannot choose. Elsewhere: jumbo shrimp fried crisp over creole-seasoned fries, salmon under spicy mayo with onion and tomato, chicken legs stewed in creole gravy with two sides. Fresh fruit smoothies and Haitian lemonade squeezed to order. Regulars keep coming back for portions that eat like two meals and prices that do not sting. Unpretentious, generous and worth the drive.
