headed out on vacation for the next week. I wanted to ask the board 2 questions
1. What is your favorite places to eat in Destin?
2. Do you have anybody you would recommend for a day of deep sea fishing?
I am going to hit up the usual places to eat like Lousiana Lagniappe, Crap Trap and A.J.'s......but I alway hunt a hole in the wall seafood joint that blows the usual's out of the water. I also love finding the cheap oyster bar's for lunch.
I love the Crab Trap there!!!
Definately eat at the Fisherman's Warf, it's on the main drag just east of the bridge. Great outside seating overlooking the marina and the Gulf. Makes me want to go back.
Salty Dog Charters,, Minnerman says they are the bestest. lmao
I like Capt Daves, Back Porch, Fishermans Wharf, and if you have kids you got to go to AJ's and Fudpuckers.
Have fun!!!!
Torch it's Salty Jig charters and they SUCK. Can I say that on here? Oh well, back to my expertise. Ifn you gonna be down there fer two weeks and don't try Elmo's Grill, you are a superficial gewber and ya mus be kin to DD. it's your typical hole in the wall joint, with extremely cold beer and very good food. They got an all-you-can-eat crab leg deal that is outta this werld. I had the days record when we left the last time we were there. I at 18 sets of legs. Boy was I stuffed and my wife and kids were embarrassed. I told em to go to the car, I was gonna get my money's werth. The waitress said I had done that when I ate my 10th set. Here's the address:
6931 W Hwy 30A
Santa Rosa Beach, FL
They got live music and a very friendly atmosphere and very good service with very little wait ifn you'll get there around 5 or so.
The boathouse.... it's down on the dock the best Gumbo youl find.
The Boathouse Oyster Bar | Destin's Best Kept Secret!
I use the Shamrock II when I'm down there, the captain has 30 to 40 years of experience out of destin and his father fished it some 20 years as well. however the boat is a little older than most out there but still looks good and his prices are more than fair.
Attachment 90139
which dock is the Shamrock II located at?
Thanks for all the responses guys....I can't wait to head that way in the morning. We will probably leave at 5 am so that my wife can shop for 7 or 8 ours at the outlet mall. She just had me go and withdraw what seemed like our entire bank account so she could shop. Got to keep momma happy though.
One of the big charter operations/brokers is right behind Fisherman's Warf.
If you get a chance, check out Baytown Wharf one night. Just on East side of Destin. Great eating places there and great scenery too. Park your car and walk everywhere. ACME oyster bar and hammerheads is in there.
Also if you have any kids with you, they will love it too
I have fished twice on a boat called The Mother Load. Excellent. It is also at the main marina behind Fishermans Wharf
the shamrock is in the east pass marina behind fishermans wharf as well, go down the left side of the building and at the bottom of the hill turn left to the last parking lot and it will be docked on the outside of the boat slips his number is 850-837-2431, red snapper doesnt come into season til the first of june so you will probably be after amberjack, wahoo, and mackeral
oh and when you get in, fishermans wharf will cook your catch for like $15 with sides its as fresh as you can get it and a real good meal
Alright, you done had plenty of time to give us an update of how the shoppin trip is goin. Pics are required.
Didn't take any pics of the shopping trip, but I plan on fishing from the beach tomorrow if I can find some sand fleas in the morning. If I catch anything I will take a pic.
i'm going down there pretty soon,so any advise would be appreciated, especially about good eat'n joints
Feesh that Louisianna Lagnipie or what ever the heck he called is one I was trying to remember the other day when me and you was talkin bout it. Never heard anyone say they dint like it.Quote:
