Fresh from the Sea

Recently, one of my sons came to visit from New England. I'm tickled that my grown kids actually like spending vacation time with me! He happens to be a marine biologist who works with commercial fishing fleets - and he is used to super fresh seafood!
So, where do you take someone like that to eat? Starfish Company in Cortez Fishing Village. It's an old-Florida-style fish market with a dockside restaurant. We had blue crab/stone crab chowder and large, peel-and-eat Gulf pinks for lunch. Can't beat the freshness or the price. Fresh fish was on the menu that night as well. We brought home a nice piece of grouper and more Gulf pink shrimp. Blackened grouper — peel-and-eat shrimp (This time with a bottle of wine). Ooh la la!
As we sat on the dock at Starfish Company I watched my son pondering his surroundings, so I just picked up my camera and began to shoot. My family is finally getting used to me pointing my camera at them.
Not only is vacation a great time for taking snapshots, it's also a great opportunity to make art — and memories.
Bon vacances!



Here's the famous son.
And here is the famous market/restaurant.

This is the view from the dock. Florida at its best!
