Somethin's Fishy!

One of the things we really like to do when we're here in Florida at the beach
is go down to the Marina on SaturdayMornings

The two-leggeds seem to really like the Farmers' Market
(So do we, actually ... there's an especially good DogBooth there)


but

more than anything

I'm partial to the AmazingAromas that waft through the air
I'm positive that they come from SomethingVerySpecial


Lucky for Us
When UncleSteve and AuntiePatti arrived for a Visit
from their GulfCoastal FishingTown further down the state
They brought some of the source of that FamiliarSmellingSpecialness

and

We all got an RealUpClose and PersonalExperience with Them


It was Heavenly

Sniffing and Sampling

(At least some of us thought so)

ExtraLargeFreshShrimp from the Gulf
Part of a 500 pound Catch the day before

and

We got to help handle that SlipperySmellySpecialness



(Can ya smell 'em through ThisMovie and almost feel 'em slip through your fingers?)

If you're interested
UncleSteve gave OurGirl a ShortTutorial on cleaning 'em
(and you can hear an example of his DeepSouthSouthernDrawl)


It was all LipSmackingGood

We (well ... some of us) sorta liked them raw
But we ALL loved them cooked up in garlic and olive oil


and

Yes!

We did get to TasteTest

Yummers!
We're likin' it here.

SHRIMPS! We ALL love shrimp! Even the tails (and especially if there is a tiny bit of meat in them)! We bet there is nothing finer than fresh from the water beauties...I know that when we are on the west coast fish always seems to taste extra special.

What an incredible feast for all to share.

I could almost smell the shrimp and garlic....yummy!
The videos were great, thanks for the tutorial..amazing how easy it looked, is that because the shrimp were so fresh?
Great post, as always!

Your friends,
Chloe, Cecil, Winston and Shawn

So very yummy! Mine would be butterflied, and lightly breaded then fried quickly in oil, such excellent eating. We are drooling!

Kisses,
Stella and her Mom

I think Uncle Steve was saying, "Blah, blah, blah, look at those hungry dogs, blah, blah, do you think they want fish?" Glad you got at least a little taste.

Hi Jake and Fergi
Slobbers all round here in Aberdeen, looking at those totally delicious shrimps.
Gail is telling me she had some awesome seafood on holiday in Newfoundland too.
In prison, I just had kibble...
