We had an outdoor lunch at the Grand Lagoon Marina yesterday. The Boatyard always delivers on service and food and the meal yesterday was no exception.
We started with a smoked tuna dip. It's served with tortilla chips and a side of diced jalapenos. The chips were warm and well salted and the dip had huge chunks of smoked tuna. Perfect.
Sweet Harold studied the menu for at least 20 minutes before making his final selection. Konrad's BLT (Bacon, Lobster and Tomato). Menu description: crisp, golden fried Florida Lobster served on grilled sourdough bread with Creole Remoulade, dressed with confetti lettuce, bacon, tomatoes and banana peppers. He chose Smoked Gouda Cheese Grits for his side item. In his words "This is FABULOUS!"
I went with the Seared Triggerfish Tacos. Menu description: Five spice seared Triggerfish medallions served in grilled flour tortillas with Creole Remoulade, shredded cabbage, jack cheese and pico de gallo. They were served with a tropical melon salsa consisting of diced honeydew, cantaloupe, radishes, mango puree and cilantro. My side item was Cuban black beans and yellow rice seasoned with cumin and tasso. The cool salsa was the perfect compliment to the spicy triggerfish. I loved these.
It was a gray, semi-rainy afternoon, but the food was great and sitting out on the marina watching the fishing boats was the perfect way to spend an hour or so. Happy Birthday to me! The Boatyard receives 4 out of 5 forks.
Those tacos sound so yummy!!! I've never had fish tacos, but I am dying to try some!
