Most street food is both finger and fast food (two of my favorite things). Unfortunately, the cities I’ve lived in lately are pretty sparse in the street food department. Actually, a new article from the travel website WorldHum ranked the top eight best cities for street food, and no American destination made the cut. I can see why – the competition is stiff out there. Here are some seafood highlights from the streets:

-Fresh octopus with lemon from Palermo, Sicily

-Lobster, crab claws, shrimp, barracuda, octopus and skewers of flopping fresh fish from Stone Town, Zanzibar

-Tiny shrimp stir fried with their shells on from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

It was a bit pricier and slower than the real thing, but last night I ate a street food-inspired burrito from our favorite Mexican restaurant in town, Perro Salado. It was filled with big chunks of mahi-mahi, pineapple, and lettuce.
