They had mahi mahi, spiny lobster, stone crab, conch fritters and conch ceviche, and Key West Pinks. In addition to seafood there was also hot dogs and hamburgers as well as fries should one so choose. Keith and I had the seafood combo plate.
My plate with fish, lobster, baked beans, slaw and hush puppies (OMG).
The Florida spiny lobster is not like the Maine lobster. Spiny lobsters are smaller and they do not have claws like their Northern cousins. They are a little saltier and the meat is a little chewier but they are "delish".
We walked around the booths and even found a few fun purchases. I found a cute glass seahorse pendant and also a hair clip with an anchor on it.

There were some dips to sample, and we purchased a few of the mixes to restock for easy appetizers.

I saw these colorful buoys outside one tent and thought they looked cool
It is a good thing we can't fit much on the boat or I might have had to have this mermaid chair.
Saturday after coming back from the Seafood Festival we got a few boat choirs done and then had dinner on Cam and Margaret Ann's boat "Sanctuary", a 51-foot Sea Ray Sedan Bridge. We watched UNC beat Duke in the final game of the regular season. A pretty good day if I do say so.
Sunday morning Keith and I played tennis at the community park. Sunday late afternoon, Keith, Cam, Margaret Ann and I all went to The Pickled Pelican for happy hour for some good food and a beautiful sunset.
Here we are waiting for sunset

Another day has come and gone in Marathon. We have really enjoyed out time here.
