While brunch at
The Spanish River Grill had been delectable, we all still needed a feast of fried goodness to mop up our wedding hangovers. We headed to
JB's Fishcamp.

| A gorgeous view |
|
| One of the better "Unattended Children" signs I've come across |
|
| There was live music outside! |
|
| Fried Alligator Bites - $9.75 |
|
A look inside at the alligator
|
As I thought I remembered but wanted to solidify in my brain, alligator just isn't that great. It's too chewy, so while not unpleasant, you really are just better off getting dark meat chicken.
|
| Half a pound of spiced rock shrimp - $12.50 |
These were really good. There's just so much flavor to go around when you've got flavor on the outside, juicy shrimp, and rosemary butter.
|
| Half a crab cake - from a set of two for $6.50 - It was very tasty but a complete mush , no crispness at all. |
|
| Someone got a Tossed Salad - $3 |
|
| Small Fries - $1.75 |
The fries were almost perfect (9/10): lots of potato, a light coating of flavorful batter, a good crispness outside while still soft on the inside.
|
Oyster Stew - $7.50
|
This was so good, with lots of big oysters, a nice and thin, slightly hot and oh so rich broth.
|
| Plus, two big hushpuppies came with the stew! They were crunchy on the outside with a soft , sweet, delicious filling. |
This horseradishy cocktail sauce was very good. It was thick enough with chunks of good stuff that it squirted out like th
e runs: w
ith some difficulty, in bursts with nice
splurty noises.

Ranch and Mustard Sauce
|
The ranch was buttermilk perfection - thick style. The "Mustard Sauce" turned out to be just mustard really.
They also have a dozen oysters for $8, something called "Crab Balls," Southern Style Clan Chowder, and a lot more good lookin' stuff to try.
