Hey, today is ...
Back from my midnight fishing trip, which was fun and productive. Got snapper, flounder; and a few other fish for my catering dinner tonight. And, caught a bunch of these guys, also on the menu.
Stone Crabs ... they are the best.

Catering Tonight ... My fishing/poker friend's Dad owns a yacht which they charter for parties. Friday they left with 8 guests. They will fish most of the night and all day in the Gulf; then, venturing back to the dock to pick me up. Then, we head back out for a cruise on the bay; where, I cook dinner for everyone - right on board. I've done this a few times, and it is a lot of fun. They have a kitchen; but, I also grill right on the deck; where we will cook a few of the dishes. And, I get to eat too!
DINNER:

Fish they caught, cooked whole (probably snapper or flounder). Stuffed with fresh herbs, onion; and a fresh citrus (lemon, grapefruit, orange) caper vinaigrette. Stone crab we caught last night too w/garlic lemon butter
Coconut rice

Key lime parfaits for dessert
----------------------------------------
Shrimp marinade, tapenade, fish vinaigrette, rice, lemon garlic butter, and key lime filling done. I'm ready!
Everything just cooked on the grill on board. And, it's a boat, SO NO glass on deck; paper and plastic. Makes for easy clean up.
