The local seafood cuisine is occasionally influenced by the Caribbean and Latin American influence, Florida nouvelle cuisine is a fusion of African, Amerindian, British, Spanish, French, Dutch, Indian.

In addition, the population has created from this vast wealth of tradition many styles that are unique to the region.
