We bought luscious scallops and a pound or two of shrimp. We don’t regularly splurge on such delicacies, but compared to the price of dining out (which we also did later that week), buying fresh and preparing it yourself—simply and in just a few minutes—is a cost-effective way to nonetheless savor fine fare. What a treat!<br /><br />As you noted, Native Seafood is spacious, tidy, and they had a wide selection to choose from, even in the off-season. Most interesting were the large hooks arrayed all along the ceiling, which you can see in the photo of Robert and Farris, used to display and dry some of the finer, more remarkable catches. (That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.) ;-)<br /><br />With the prevalence of online resources and step-by-step videos to guide novice chefs like me over the hurdles, there’s no reason to fear trying new things and preparing your own dishes. The results were delicious!<br /><br />Thanks—as always—for helping us discover yet another island gem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
