Buon appetito!

We ended up at Casablanca Seafood Market and Restaurant, next door to Garcias. It was outta this world! The half shell were a tad salty, but it is that kinda month, the shrimp cocktail was perfect, the stone crabs were as always great but pricy, and the grilled lobster was tender, not chewy. Very nice place overlooking the river, different, very very good.

 

And yes the stone were about half the cost in the market, but we really enjoyed not eating under a tree:D

That's great to hear. Always have read about Casablanca but haven't gone yet. I will have to check it out.

 

I was enjoying Beachpoint oysters and clams casino at River oyster last night.

Thanks Carolyn!

 

Dallas is over run with diff resturants too, so we are aware of all the fluff and stuff, Trulucks was started here. Which is why we asked here on CC about the Miami scene. We know that this time of year, everybody and their spinoff will have Stone Crabs, we want to go to dinner, not a debate on bad government, but to find a couple of different, off the beaten path, out of the way places that we wont see in Texas. The Rustic Inn was very funkie and the wife liked everything about it. If there is nothing like that in Miami, so be it.

Thanks again

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is a "diff restaurant"? Is it like Cracker Barrel?

What is the price of the medium stone crabs in the market?

What is the price of the medium stone crabs in the market?

 

Casablanca was over priced, in my opinion at $79 in the restaurant, but there were oh so good, while at the market they were $29.95 lb. Called Tarpon Bend and they are $42.95 lb and at Hillstone the are $55 for a pound and a half.

And, I thought they were overpriced here in S. Ft. Myers at 25-27, per pound.
