Everything seems better in Key West.......I've been going through fish sandwich withdrawal for the past year! Not pretty..... :o

You know, those freshly broiled fish fillets (usually mahi mahi), lettuce, tomato, "special" sauce that each shack has, and a nice hard roll......why do I torture myself like this? :roll:

Here's wishing you a great trip and keep the faithful informed about your activites, OK?
Haha! In your opinion where is the best place in KW to get a fish sandwich?

Factoid : No Name Pub and Capt Tony's owned by the same guy. No corporation. He has owned both for many years

Am counting down.

We leave at 6 a.m., March 31 from Akron/Canton airport (yeah, we really do have an airport) and get into Fort Myers at around 10. We stay at a very funky hotel on the beach. Will drop off luggage and have a bloody mary at the tiki bar, then sit by the pool and soak up whatever sun central gulf coast may have at the time. Will dig out beach clothes and head over to the amazing Ft. Myers beach--some of the best sand in Florida. There's a great seafood place under the bridge and then back to the hotel.

The next morning, we'll head over to Salty Sam's marina to catch the boat to KW. Bloody Mary's on the boat and a 'VERY BRISK" wind in our sails and we'll be in KW harbor by noon.

It goes without saying that we've relived this over and over in our heads as the snow builds up here in NE Ohio.

We'll be at the Popular House on William Street (aka Key West B&B--check them out at www.KeywestBandB.com) from April 1 through April 8. Anyone who's gonna be there during that time, PM me and I'll give you my cell and we can meet for an adult beverage somewhere.

YAY, IT'S GETTING CLOSER!!! :wench:

BO's is awesome but it has gotten a bit out of hand with their prices and teh fish has got smaller. Entertainment on friday nights though. Another place for fish sandwich is on Stock Island , Hogfish. Find it and you will love it. It is what Key West used to be.
