Panama City, Florida is a great place for foodies. As soon as I arrived in the vibrant city, my mouth was watering with anticipation. The beaches and bay here offer some of the freshest seafood around – from grouper to red snapper to shrimp – all caught fresh daily!

One of my favorite dishes that I tried while visiting Panama City was ceviche. This traditional dish consists of raw fish marinated in lime juice along with tomatoes, onions, peppers and other local ingredients. It had a unique tangy flavor that made it truly refreshing on hot days spent exploring this coastal paradise
