Florida: Middle Keys recommendations?

We'll be in Key Colony Beach and Marathon for a week in March. We love Sparky's and Key Fisheries (especially drinking at sunset in Key Drinkery) Any other recommendations? We like anything that is good, fresh, local...but not interested in ultra-fine dining when wearing shorts and fishing clothes... Plus, we have found that high-end in the Keys is mostly overpriced and not all that great.

Any thoughts are appreciated

      It has been a few years since I've been but when we used to go every summer we would always go to Mangrove Mamma's on Sugarloaf Key (I believe). Also, if you are wanting a low key evening, The No Name Pub on No Name Key is a dive bar with wonderful pizzas. I've been there in fishing clothes and fit right in. Also, it might be a little bit more on the formal side than you are wanting, but brunch on Little Palm Island is something very special. You can only get to it by boat but I thought it was totally worth the trip. All of these places are south of Marathon but not much farther than 7 mile bridge. Have fun on your trip!
