Our Little Trip To Paradise - Resort Again

The girls spent the day lying on the beach and after a nice little swim in the warm Caribbean waters, I hung around in the good breeze on the condo balcony.  Here are some a shots of the resort and the bay from down at the beach.

Bev and Pat had had good experiences at the resort’s restaurant so we opted for it after going across the street to Lee’s Grill the previous night - this the restaurant and the bay from the back of the restaurant 

Bev and Pat split the Cabana Fisherman Platter which included mahi mahi, shrimp, scallops, and calamari and they split a salad.

I had just commented on Cowgirl Jeanie’s blog that I didn’t care for fried calamari but I really liked it and even more surprisingly the girls liked it.

I started with a bowl of delicious Conch Chowder which was slightly sweetened with the addition of corn.

Then I had the stuffed grouper with garlic cream sauce, rice, and vegetable medley.

The sauce somewhat overwhelmed the fish, but the combo was a terrific flavor in my mouth and this will be going onto the try-to-make-at-home list.  The rice was pretty good as it was cooked in a flavored broth but as my least favorite starch, I left most of it to save room for the big surprise. 

I rarely eat the veggies I get in American restaurants as they are nearly always bland and almost raw.  These were perfectly cooked to almost tender in a garlic butter sauce and I loved them.  Maybe the biggest surprise of the meal was they try to provide you with properly seasoned food and I didn’t pick up the salt shaker.  I believe I could eat there every night.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
