Shrimp Shack Puts Out Great Seafood and Traditional Fare Fused With a Caribbean Flair

Shrimp fritters, moist and extremely tasty. The Cracked Conch-a favorite of mine and about a million other Keys visitors!

AmericanPressTravelNews-Sat January 14th, Islamorada, FL. Bob and Barb just invaded the Shrimp Shack for their seafood fixes.

Nautical all the way! Comfort food, and beverages that will please any palate!
Shrimp and Grits was so tasty, we are spoiled again! The sauce is king with this dish-combined with the correct grit flavors and consistency, as well as, naturally super-fresh shrimp and voila!
Chicken loaded with an incredible sauce and veggie melange! Called the Continental Chicken dish!

I love Conch, no not just the Conch Republic, but the big Sea Cow browser called the Conch, a gentle delicious snail that lives in a mini palace people from around the world collect at shell shops, and road-side gift displays, to sit on their do-dad tables. At the Shrimp Shack the critter is fried and served with a pungent sauce that is about the best slice of seafood possible. The Shrimp Shack is a family owned business that opened in Dec. 2011. Since that time they have been serving delicious food to their customers and have become a “go-to-place” for Islamorada, FL. Keys locals. The restaurant is run by the mother, daughter team of Jill and Morgan who bring out their family recipes from their kitchen and onto the plate. They were discovered by Guy Fieri and were featured on Diners Drive-in’s and Dives! Guy who has eaten his way across America loved the shrimp Fritters as we did and the “Senator” style local catch of the day. The episode is named “Smoke and Seafood.” They are closed Wednesday’s and are located at 81901 Overseas Highway, Islamorada, FL just down from The Guy Harvey Outpost Resort.  Phone: 305-664-8443 email: [email protected]

Yes, Barb was really digging in to it all!!

AmericanPressTravelNews–November 3rd, Dublin, GA.-Bob and Barb “On The Road Again”, yet “Stopping to Smell the Roses, and Great Dishes Along the Way.”- While in Dublin, GA and staying at the amazingly beautiful Page House B&B, we went into town to check out the great restaurants Mono, Owner of Page House told us about. The first location was called Company Supply. Well, the name really fooled us as I hear it does to newcomers to Dublin. First of all, The owner Richard Mascaro’s company mission is to provide their customers with all natural, hormone and antibiotic free-food  choices. They also strive to source organic and local when available.crawfish-cakes

We sat down and enjoyed reading the menu which began the juices flowing: Craw Cake’s for an appetizer caught us first – a mix of craw-fish tails, spices, Trinity and Panko bread crumbs, cooked to perfection, accompanied by corn and feta salad with Creole aioli-viva the tail! Superlative appetizer!

We also checked out Sweet curry chicken salad, Chipotle Pimento  cheese,  Black-Eyed Pea Hummus. Served with warm pita bread. Call Cole Trio Coco Cole Trio.appetizer-tapas

General Supply as they call it, offers there award winning main entree: Delta chicken. A grilled breast, sauteed spinach sun-dried tomatoes, becamel sauce, goat cheese, and served over garlic roasted mashed potatoes. Zowie! We loved this dish too-if you remember from other posts, we are big on garlic and so is Mascaro.chicken-mascaro

Koi greet you with open mouths as you enter the Ming Dynasty!

APtravelnews-January 27th,-Bob and Barb “Stopping To Smell the Roses” in Orlando! We’ve eaten at the Ming Dynasty just down from the Orange Country Convention Center. It is a favorite of ours. 5-years ago we ate at Ming Dynasty and I remembered on this, our recent trip for the ASI Show about the really great eggplant dish they served at that time. So on this recent trip, I was hoping that their consistency was as it should be-spot on! It was!  We had duck and that aforementioned eggplant dish, and I promise if I give them a 10 out of 10 (almost never get that lucky to be able to do this) you can take it to the bank! Check them out on web Ming Dynasty Orlando!
