And we called our friend Colleen who runs the Bed and Breakfast at Seatuck House. She was away and had just flew back from Colorado and wouldn't be at the house. But as we lingered at the antique store she walked in to say hello. She insisted we meet her at this great seafood restauraunt that all the locals love. Of course we don't eat seafood but what the fuck.
At least we got to walk inside the great shark mouth.

You don't eat seafood????? WTF?
Why? Trooper needs leave room for all that beef.
I'd rank seafood just behind Beef. Chicken and Pork I could do without.
How an an Ischian not eat fish? Are you afraid of the taco part?
There goes the diet.
Lisa is allergic and choked on a fishbone when I was seven and have a psychological block ever since.
Well, I certainly understand that. Whataboutyou??
Seafood is perfect for a man of your needs.
Lobster, crab, and shrimp have no "fish bones" ... and they are my idea of "seafood."
Only "fish" I will touch is "Dover Sole" (flounder) filleted properly, with a nice almond or pecan sauce. Salmon? Bah! Only if it comes in a red can labeled "Sockeye" and someone else makes it in to breaded cakes with a mustard sauce. Local fresh water salmon taste like shit, or "Alewife" the rough herring they eat.
Aridog, You are a Midwestern guy. Seafood needs to be FRESH. I would bet a C note there are other fish you would like if you had it fresh and prepared properly. I hardly ever eat seafood when I'm not within a hundred or so miles of the ocean. In Wi. I eat local walleye, perch, bass, etc. What was shocking to me is to have 2 people who live a few blocks from the ocean and both don't eat seafood. It's a statistical/probability anomaly.
Aridog, we have gone to Alaska twice. ALL I eat is halibut. I think salmon is an overrated fish. I do like it grilled on cedar planks but it's sown on my list. Halibut tops my list. My family ate all types of seafood, including eel, on of my favorites.
Don't be too hard on Trooper; he's half Irish. It's in his blood not to like fish. I mean, we're talking about a country that starved rather than throw a net into the ocean that surrounded it.
windbag, LOL. You are a funny dude, stop by more often.
halibut? Hope not too often. Full of mercury, like swordfish and tuna.
Its hard to get fresh fish, even on the coast. Usually, getting it flash frozen in the store is just as good.
Man, are there any fish, fresh water or salt water that are NOT full of Mercury these days. For those who eat freshwater salmon (taste-buds are deficient) or Lake Trout I always advise eating nothing but carefully cut fillets, and no, zero, none, meat below the ribs...that fatty stomach is where the most mercury is from what the DNR tells me.
I used to catch my limit of both almost daily for years between Late July and late October in Lake Michigan, but quit when I could no longer give the fish away, even filleted, at the dock. I loved to fish and could find them when others couldn't (because I'd been fishing that 100 square mile stretch of water and islands for about 40 years)...even the decreasing perch beds when necessary and asked to do so. Teaching new people with new boats to catch lake Trout in August is tedious...yes, you do have to use a long line, lead core or wire (I prefer lead) and bounce that 16 ounce sinker off the bottom gently in 90 to 110 feet of water...good luck with a down rigger which only drags on the bottom making a mess and driving the fish away at that time of year. You feel the bottom with your hands and manage the pole and line with your arms...and at trolling speed with the weight involved it will strain your arms nicely in about an hour. The cool part was when the new guy caught fish when no one else could in August.
Too bad the dockside giveaways ended...the fishing was fun, even miles off shore. I just don't like those fish. Period...rather starve I think.
