I was born and raised in New Smyrna so I never eat seafood if I am more than 30 minutes from the beach.
The seafood is so fresh here. I always try to order something different, but normally end up with the blackened grouper or mahi.
Since I moved away to Orlando I only get back to NSB about once a month. I make Ocean's the top of my list of things to do.
It is just far enough from the beach that sand isn't blowing into your food. It is very close to one of my favorite bars in NSB (Beachside Tavern).
My last comment is on the service: the people there are so nice! If you are dining in the ladies are patient and bring your food to your table. If you are buying raw seafood, the people behind the counter are helpful and courteous.
My only con is there is not enough space or table during the lunch rush.
