LOL, I know it can get busy today but when I lived there in the 50s and 60s it was a very quiet little town.

We lived in the old part of town, just a few blocks from the marina and "downtown", such as it was then.

Not today. The area you are talking about is full of boutiques and travelers. Place is busy all the time. Out along the Gulf, they are putting up condos, one on top of another. My favorite restaurants are Sea Sea Riders because of their blackened Grouper and the little Italian restaurant Julian’s Little Italy. Best meatballs I ever ate, including in NYC.

I moved to Miami in 1988, but this must be near the Causeway Inn. There was also a Mullet Inn and Red Lobster there in the 60's and we could see our neighborhood across the water. Thanks for posting!

Oh my gosh! I think it was the Mullet Inn that served the best catfish! My parents used to take us there once in a while!

That makes me laugh, living in a state where you can catch your own seafood, yet a place serving catfish and having a red lobster are a big deal. I would go catch my own and cook them myself. You want to talk about fresh good seafood. To me a catfish, is the bottom dweller fish, yes, they are popular here in Texas as they are in every lake. I do not see them as seafood. Red Lobster, love it but they are just bringing in frozen product it is not fresh.

I have had the fresh good stuff, caught in the waters where they were wild. I have been out there with a piece of bacon or chicken and caught fresh crab. I have been at the dock when the boats come in with fresh shrimp. The hubs was the one who went to fishing, bringing in fresh fish, bass, trout etc. The uncle was the one who went every year and fished the copper river for salmon and had it shipped home to the family.

We were planning a trip to Florida when my husband got really sick. I hate Florida but it was where he wanted to go for a last hurrah. He wanted to fish, dive to get lobster, catch fresh crabs. Eat oysters fresh. There was not a thing from the water he would not try. No, the Texas coast would not do, he wanted Florida. I have not been to the ocean since he passed.
