Peck's Old Port Cove has a Crystal River address but is actually in Ozello, a small village at the end of a long road that begins on US-19 between Crystal River and Homosassa on Florida's west coast.

The 10 mile long meandering road through the salt marshes is a favorite drive for bikers and sports car enthusiasts.

It is also a favorite drive for seafood lovers.

As you would expect from a restaurant surrounded by salt water, seafood is the specialty of the house.

Peck's is famous for their blue crabs, and you can have them steamed or with garlic.  They also have soft shell crabs served with light batter and fried to a golden brown crust.
