Hey everyone!!! I hope you all had an amazing weekend.. I know I did!….
Sorry I had to rub it in!!! I’m mean I know. Well this weekend I went with my family down to Key West, FL to do some fishing. We chartered a boat and caught some Mahi Mahi ( In this picture!) along with Snapper. I’ll put a pic of the snapper later in the post. Oh, and just to let everyone know I caught the largest Mahi and Snapper. Boo Yah! We just got back and fried up some of the fish. A-mazing. I’m not really a huge fan of fish but I have to say if you ever get the chance to eat some fresh fish… do it!! It was amazing! Love me some fried fish with malt vinegar. Could it get better than that?? I don’t think so!
Isn’t that thing huge?! It’s a Mutton Snapper. GOOD eats!!! Let me tell you when… when I caught this thing I thought I was catching Moby Dick. I woke up this morning and my arms felt like jello from hauling this thing it. Took me about 10 minutes to get it in! So much fun. Oh, and in case you’re going to comment saying I’m holding it far out to make it look bigger… I’m really not! Its just THAT big!
We ended up catching 6 dolphin,4 yellow tail snapper, and my huge Mutton snapper! I apologize in advance for all the photos.. I just had such an amazing time I have to share all the pics! 🙂
The first night we went to this amazing island off Key West called Sunset Ket. On Sunset Key there is an AMAZING restaurant called Latitudes. Its seriously unbelievable. For an appetizer we had oysters rockafeller. Oh. my. heaven. Deeeelish! I recommend this! All the food was so amazing we all finished our plates. Of course… The second night after we went fishing we went to this restaurant called the Hot Tin Roof. They were so kind to cook up our catch! Whenever we go to the Keys for lobster season they always cook up our lobster for us. They blackened some of the Mahi and the other half they sauteed in a lemon butter. SOOO good. I was impressed! The sides were so inventive and I really recommend going there if you are even in Key West. Also, if you’re in Key West, you must go to Blue Heaven. They have the best breakfast there. Its such a great place. Its all outdoors and theres roosters running around and the style is very eclectic… just like Key West! Well, that is all. I hope you enjoyed all the pics. I had fun taking them! Has anyone been anywhere lately that they really recommend? I’m always looking for new places to go! Well, off to bed for me. I have a 22 hour drive to Texas tomorrow. Fun? I think not!
Glad you had a good time fishing
Wow! What great pics and great fish. I’m going to the Texas coast tomorrow for trout and reds and then on June 11 off shore for snappers. Hope we can do as good as you were. Am I going to see you at Dell Diamond? The strawberry cheese cake turned out great
I must comment that the best memory I have of Key West is being in a boat & suddenly a school of flying fish began swimming with us. It was so fabulous, a never to be forgotten time. I didn’t even think of getting the camera cuz I thought any second they would leave, but they stayed with us for awhile. They reminded me of little baby bluebirds with their red tummies & blue color!
