The crawls are built of concrete posts, properly spaced to prevent the turtles from escaping and to allow fresh seas water to circulate through them. Green Turtle steak is a delicacy served in most Florida Key restaurants. Green turtle soup is also made from the gelatinous meat found in the back and breast of the turtle.'Subject Place
