Hey! Did you really think I was going to stop without mentioning the food? Most people consider Key Lime Pie to be a signature South West Florida food and I'm sure Sandy Hook had it but this is the place to save room for the entree. In my case a legendary Caribbean delicacy Key West style Cracked Conch. Methodically tenderized by a pasta press, rolled in a house spice blend and deeeeeeeeep fried, it was sweet and tender as promised. I must only imagine that the Blackened Snapper or Grouper would be just as delicious, but no time for that... there's plenty more of these little islands to explore. Sandy Hook fish & Rib House That crazy old blue tiki was still there, but the rest of this Matlacha Gallery had undergone a, um ... face-lift. AND most importantly I got a confirmation that the tikis were not carved by any of the galleries artists nor are they for sale. The owner had purchased them from "some carver" near Fort Myers beach. She had painted them herself and I honestly dig them but her dismissal of the carver's contribution was disappointing. Now to find the carver... |
