Yesterday we got a call from our friends Mike and Denise. They had just returned from a week (or so) in the Florida Keys and we were invited to come and have some of their fresh catch. We had plans to cook up some grouper John got when he took a couple of friends fishing on Saturday... but Mike's cooking is too good to pass up... Mike was cooking up some flounder with stone crab stuffing...all caught by him. He also had seviche and crackers...he knows how to make it to... It was delicious...and the company was good as usual. :)
John had Brenna lined up to make us some mahi mahi for dinner tonight...then we got a call from Ron who recently got some mahi and grouper. The group he went out fishing with also got some scallops. He and Devan are friends with the owner of Cabana Shores a tiki bar/restaurant in Melbourne. Josh(the owner) told him if they brought the fish up to his place...the cook would fry/saute, etc it for us. Well...once again this was an offer too good to pass up...so we headed up that way after work. There were 13-14 of us. We had scallops with onions and bacon, sauteed mahi with rice, fried grouper and mahi fingers (in a tasty potato chip/Ritz cracker batter), zucchini, peppers and mushrooms, sweet potato fries...and there may have been more. All of it was GREAT!...so fresh...and brought hot and steaming to the table. Ron treated everyone to beer, water, tea, soda....and it was a beautiful, relaxing evening. We sat outside and enjoyed a nice view of the river. It was hot all day...but it was very pleasant outside on the (sand) floor deck............really very relaxing and comfortable. I will definitely go back there again some afternoon/evening. It's nice because it's not as big as some of the other places on the river. Grills is nice, good food...but it's always packed..this place had a more cozy feel to it.
This week is getting off to a great start...I wonder who's making us dinner tomorrow night...hahaha
