Peace River Seafood Market Where They Come From as Far Away as Maryland!

AmericanPressTravelNews-Feb 17th,-Punta Gorda, FL.–Bob and Barb “On The Road Again.” This time visiting Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda’s great down-home seafood restaurant: Peace River Seafood Market. We dove into a variety of seafoods from blue claw, to Stone Claw, from steamed Apalachicola’s oysters to Horseshoe Beach clam, great blue crab-claws, and from lobster bites to smash and grab whole blue crabs, and to one of my very favorites soft shelled crabs. We cut to the chase by first tasting Thornton Branch Gator Gumbo replete with some gator chunks, shrimp, Cajun sausage and crab on saffron rice. So you too can travel great distances to Peace River Seafood Market and find the trip was so well worth it! Ask for Larry Corbin, the GM, He alone is worth meeting irrespective of the incredible seafood you’ll experience! Located at 5337 Duncan Rd. (Hwy 17) Punta Gorda, FL wwwpeaceriverseafood.com 941-505-8440

Barb loves a meat dish once and awhile too! She found it at Leroy's. This (short ribs) beef was succulent ! She ate as much as she wanted and I kissed off the rest of my naked crab and slayed what was left of her beef cow! Loved it even as it was cooled down! If it tasted great hot or cold its truly great beef! — Barb loves a meat dish once and awhile too! She found it at Leroy’s. This (short ribs) beef was succulent !

AmericanPressTravelNews-February 9th, Bob & Barb On the Road Again in the Keys and also Virginia Beach. Its been heartening to know that many new entrepreneurs are going into the fish farming business. The demand for several fish species as well as “bottom crawlers” such as crab, Conch, lobster, shrimp is overwhelming today! Imagine, cobia farms, pompano farms, snapper, etc. Yes, these are setting up and a few ongoing already! See Florida Trend Magazine October 2016!!!!!!!

Mangrove Mike’s Cafe & Catering in Islamorada, The Sunset Favorite for Decades!

**Key Lime Pie, original recipe, but with lemon meringue “high top.” So good you can finish off a quart of milk with this honey of a pie!**

**This omelette is made with real blue crab an asparagus. Topped with a sauce that came down from heaven! Loved it! Definitely large enough for two!**

**Regular Mango Mike’s Special breakfast that comes with pancakes, two eggs, bacon, grits, sausages and hot Maple Syrup.**

AmericanPresstravelNews-January 5th,–Islamorada, FL., Keys-Bob and Barb, “On the Road Again” and Stopping to Smell the Roses” & Key Lime pie. We love mom and pops breakfast and lunch spots. They have a special kind of character, and they also produce very custom dishes that the big box guys just cannot do based on logistics, and corporate structure. Mangrove Mikes caters, offers “killer” breakfasts and lunches and is a favorite meeting place over coffee and hot cakes, in Islamorada. Over 40-years ago, I had breakfast here with many of the old “salts” and charter captains that fished out of this fishing and diving town. Check out their menu on-line at www.mangrovemikes.com Indoors they have those old fashioned counters, booths and tables too. They also do Island parties out back, on the Gulf of Mex. for from 10-1,000 guests. Weddings, picnics, reunions or whatever kind of group. Mike said “bring it on and we’ll set it up!” Flip flops, no problem, that’s part of their dress code!
