EATING DOWN HIGHWAY ONE
With Gene Morgan and his favorite traveling companion Nancy
The Florida Keys are islands with ocean all around. It is about 120 miles from mainland Florida to Key West. There are 42 bridges on that trip. Most folks know where things are by mile markers rather than addresses. While we usually do most of our eating near the Key West end of the island chain, we are going to start in the Middle Keys with one of the few real towns on the keys, Islamorada.
Around mile marker 77 you will find The Hungry Tarpon. It don’t look like much, like many restaurants down in paradise. It is part of Robbie’s Marina complex along with gift and art booths and the famous feed the giant tarpon docks. There is nothing like having a six foot fish eat out of your hand. Inside the restaurant is the usual island rustic décor.
If you want to eat shrimp for many days in a row you are going to have to eat some odd combinations along the way. Now Nancy loves shrimp and is a big fan of quesadillas. Why not both. When shrimp is as fresh as it is in the Keys, any combination can be tasty, and it was.

This post brought back SOOO many great memories for me! :) I LOVE Key West and had the time of my life there!! I wish I would have ate at this place while I was there (The tarpons are SO big! It's really a sight to see - we did stop by the Theater of the Sea there and so much fun watching the Dolphin show :) I loved it! Thank you Uncle Gene and Aunt Nancy for highlighting the beautiful Keys
Yep, I am definitely going to have to go w/ them on their next trip!! : )
