Exploring Florida by motorcycle with the Badger Crew works up an appetite, even for a rubber duck.
When our tummies started rumbling in Fort Myers Beach, the Badgers pointed us to Smokin Oyster Brewery.
Time to let Goldie rest and enjoy the beach vibes!
Our crew tried plenty of tasty dishes, but let me tell you about three favourites.
First up: ahi tuna, seared just right and drizzled with a flavour-packed sauce.
It came with a giant breaded shrimp in the middle.
That tuna was seared perfectly, and that shrimp was a pretty impressive partner for this little duck’s lunch.
Then came the coconut shrimp!
These golden beauties were crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and full of that sweet-and-savoury tropical flavour that says, “You’re on vacation!”
The tangy dipping sauce? A taste explosion.
And you can’t go wrong with shrimp and chips.
The tender shrimp wore a light, crispy coat, while the fries were perfectly seasoned.
It was the kind of seaside comfort food that makes a duck want to settle in and forget all about the next stop.
Of course we needed to wash down lunch and raise a glass!
It took us no time at all to choose Key Lime Coladas.
By a twist of fate, they arrived with extra rum!
One sip of that smooth, tropical refreshment and our table was ready to sing.
We toasted to friendship, good food, and great rides.
The service was fantastic, and the open-air setting so close to the water made me feel right at home.
With great ambiance, good company, and a leisurely lunch, it was easy to linger.
Sometimes the best discovery of the day is knowing when to stop exploring and pull up a chair.
Smokin Oyster Brewery gets two enthusiastic wings up from me!
Who can argue with great food, amazing service and good times with friends!
NEVER MISS A
