Independent Seafoods — Attraction in West Palm Beach

I give the market 5 stars but the food truck just 1 star. The market had a great variety of good fresh seafood, but that day I opted to try a shrimp poboy at the food truck. The only shrimp I ever buy or order are wild caught from the gulf, which the market sells. Before placing my poboy order I asked the cook what kind of shrimp he was using.
