New Smyrna, FL (near Daytona) - looking for recs

Hubby's been getting down to New Smyrna (near Daytona) a lot for business recently. Anyone have any good recs for this area?

Sea Harvest, across from the Mako Marina (right along the intracoastal and two blocks from 441), is pretty fresh seafood, of the fried variety. Frozen gold is good ice cream, though the season isn't great for that (it is out 441 heading out of town). Otherwise, pickings are notoriously slim.

Halfway between New Smyrna and Daytona is Port Orange,FL. Headed here on purpose to eat lunch at Brigadoon Fish Camp.



Made sure they had the crabs on hand via their facebook page. Knew this pace was going to be good when I got out of the car.



Rows of crab tanks:





Cracked crabs in my bare feet looking at the river:



one shay pic:


orders the blue crabs by the pound - old bay seasoning, and the snow crab with the old bay as well(wanted to get some live shrimps they had, but shay voted snow crabs - all good shes learned from the best.. )





took care of business:


I thought Brigadoon was great and one of the highlight of the trip. Young friendly owners serving some top notch steamed foods. Great place to enjoy a few cold beers on a sunny afternoon. One of those spots that makes the hours of food searching & driving I do worth it

In Daytona I liked:



The SHores Festhaus in Daytona Beach Shores for a quick sandwich and a beer or two:



decent reuben for a beach town - I just needed a break from seafood:

Oyster Pub, really enjoyed some chargrilled oysters here, easily as good as I remember Dragos in NOLA being. Other items were just ok, the 2 for 1 Jim Beams were really nice.

Been going to Dayton Beach since college spring break 1989, something about this beach town that I like, and keeps providing good memories.
