Yes infidels, spent Saturday afternoon at City Seafood in Everglades City to enjoy the world's best stone crabs along with a nice cold one and the scenery which is the 10,000 islands.
Folks, most places offering stone crabs claws are offering you previously frozen or ones that are a few days old. Here, you're getting them fresh. They come in at night, they cook 'em and ice 'em and they're ready for eating the next morning. Got those collossal claws for $28/pound. 2-3 a pound that will fill you up. Better hurry cause they'll be shutting down for the summer in a few weeks. You'll find it off of Begonia which is off of SR 29, south of the Trail. In fact, this week, I'll try to post images from the area.

Yes Infidels, spent the other day fishing the waters of 10,000 Islands in the Florida Everglades with Capt. Chas Wright of Chokoloskee Charters. Got macked big time. Ended up with 4 nice sized ones which I had to cook right away as the cap'n says that if you don't cook 'em within 24 hours, they get blech. So I cooked them right quick on watersoaked cedar planks to give them a nice smoky flavor. Had leftovers and made smoked fish dip out of them. The fish were biting pretty good. Nearly landed a 35 pound cobia, but the wanker broke the line as it was near the boat's net. Took Junior with me and he caught his first fish, a blue fish. He was thrilled. It was also his first time on a boat, so it was like a ride for him. He loved the bumps of the choppy waters of the Gulf. He had a grin from ear to ear. So I reckon I now have a new fishin' partner. He's still too young for beer though.
