Son Brian knows where they live! That’s a mutton snapper and baked up for 20-people!Brian and Diane in the Keys. A fine bottom fishing excursion..
American Press Travel News–Update: 3/5/19–Bob and Barb “On the Road Again.”–My son Brian and wife Diane sent me these images of a very large mutton snapper they caught for dinner-actually it was enough for a party of people to enjoy for a sit-down meal. The mutton snapper is so called as it is shaped somewhat like a leg of mutton. One thing for sure, it doesn’t taste like sheep. It is a very tasty reef and bottom fish. Always remember; fish taste like what they feed on. Snappers feed on shrimp, crab and on other fresh fish. Fishing in the Keys can offer a wide variety of excellent fish and seafood to chow down on. Besides fish there are stone crabs, Florida lobster, and incredible shrimp to put on the “Barbie.” The Keys has more than 200 restaurants that offer these delectibles! These large members of the snapper family hang around rocks and reefs. They are ambush predators. Brian is now known as “Captain Key Largo” he is a licensed Captain and guide to the Upper Keys and surrounding Islands. Takes people fishing, viewing birds and wildlife and visits interesting places, beside doing waterway and front bar crawls. go: Brian Epstein on Facebook, or give him a call at: (954)-326-7360

We are at the wonderful Pilot House again, but not since leaving the Keys in early 2000. The Keys is always making history, recently the Net Flix people have continued to shoot “Bloodlines” with a show that depicted scenes at the Pilot House. Everyday you can find fresh seafood on a beautiful day with fish swimming under feet, the actual deck is designed with glass inserts so that you can actually watch Snapper and other fish Barracuda swim Beneath Your Feet through the glass floor boats all manner of boats are everywhere somewhere running propellers air air propellers were those things called in we’re out on the veranda and the pilot house is that just a marina in a restaurant but it has just about everything you could want if you were fishing if you are driving if you are looking for seafood in the finest kind. Lobster mac and cheese tender chunks of Maine Lobster in three cheese lobster cream sauce tossed with penne pasta and topped with truffles bread crumbs also Pilot House also Pilot House style Paella bake with baby clams, mussels, shrimp, Lobster Charizo sausage, roasted red peppers, peas and rice.Also decorating our waterfront table was Macadamia crusted Hogfish as seen on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network. This delicate white fleshed fish with Crisp, Citrus Macadamia Panko crust, nested in mango pineapple salsa was extra special even for those that don’t normally order fish. For table drinks we had a Pina Colada, and a Corona inserted bottle into a Margarita. Never had this before, but will have it again. You can eat inside under AC, but many visitors and diners love the glass floor where you can watch wild tropical fish swim beneath your feet while you can even feed them off the table. They have 18-large TV’s, and this place really rocks if you like, with live entertainment most nights. A Tiki Bar here is like no other place on earth, Located at MM 99.5 Oceanside, at 13 Seagate Blvd, Key largo 305-451-3142 www.pilothousemarina.com
