I wanted to get some ideas (feedback) on what you guys(and gals) feel is the best prepared seafood dish (entree or appetizer) that you have had in the area. I have some pretty good ideas on where I want to go eat but would like some comments on the best prepared dish or entree or appetizer you have had in the destin/santa rosa beach, grayton beach area. In other words, the name of the dish and where you can find it. thanks. would appreciate all comments.

Steamed mussells in red sauce at Pandora's, or anywhere for that matter. Fried oyster salad at Hurricanes....raw oysters from Indian Pass Raw Bar near Cape San Blas.

Anything from Fire, the menu changes regularly so it's hard to nail down a favorite.

Crab Cakes at the Red Bar or from Shrimpers and the Oysters Bienville at D&K's!

There are many great dishes, but those are the ones that always cause foodgasms! :blush:

Just got back on the weekend. Here are the favorites from last week;

Crabcakes at the Red Bar
Smoked Tuna Appetizer at Bud & Alleys
CrabClaw appetizer at Bud & Alleys
Oysters on the shell at Goatfeathers
Cornmeal encrusted Redfish at Criolla's
And the big surprize was absoutely the best-ever Shrimp Poboy at the Red Bar. (actual picture before I devoured it)
.....It was a very good week

For non-seafood honorable mention to Brunos Pizza, FlipFlops, the new place in Seagrove that claims the best burgers on 30A, and the Fried Green Tomato Benedict and grits (and I'm not a grits fan) for breakfast at Great Southern (formerly Shades)

And I really miss the Raw Bar with a cold draft beer at the three-thirty-one

My favorite seafood dish these days is Stinky's Stew at Stinky's Fish Camp in Dune Allen! The stew is a combination of Shrimp, Mussels, Gulf Fish, Crab Legs in a Wine, Tomato, Lemon & Garlic Broth with Roast Potato and Corn. Stinky's serves it with a Pressed Crab Po'Boy Wedge for dipping in the delicious broth. Yummy! :wub:

Crab cakes from Sarah K's Gourmet in Destin. You just pop them in the oven for 12 minutes in the container they are packed and "Viola! Dinner is done!" Plus, you can take credit for cooking them - since they did come out of your oven. Ha!

:roll:...answer the question.

any of their seafood dishes, I don't have a particular favorite, I try a different one each time. If I must pick one either the Crab Boulettes, or the Stuffed Shrimp over grits. Yummy.
