COCOA BEACH, Fla. — Jazzy’s Mainely Lobster has been a landmark on the Space Coast for 30 years now.

They say they serve seafood that is desired and considered “the best” — lobsters from Maine!

Cameron Clarke was born and raised in New England. Hailing from Massachusetts, he’s about a year into his role as a kitchen leader at Jazzy’s.

“Anything you’d expect from a summer lobster shack, you have here in Florida,” he said.

When Clarke moved to Central Florida, he worked at Port Canaveral. He now has a decade of culinary experience to his name.

In this week’s Chef’s Kitchen, Clarke is showing off Jazzy’s take on a Rueben sandwich with Mahi.

“I hadn’t seen [this version] until I actually came here. Doing a fish, Rueben is interesting because usually it’s corn beef,” Clarke said. 

Alongside the sandwich are some Mussels Dijon. Let’s cook!
