Stock Island Restaurant Review

We usually tear down to the waterfront in Key West for our dose of grub, and we did make our obligatory visit to B.O.'s Fish Wagon and the Treetop Restaurant.  But we thought we'd give the local grub a try.

The restaurant at the marina isn't open due to some financial mismanagement, so we went over to Safe Harbor and the Hogfish Bar and Grille. It was darn good, however, a bit pricey.  Great atmosphere tho.

It's full of the character you expect from a Keys Bar.  They do Baja style fish tacos and I really recommend those. They buy their fish dip from a local distributor, Smilin' Bob's.  It was darn good and you can order it online.

Afterwards we wandered around the marina, and here's another reason you just gotta love the Florida Keys:

Now, how can you argue with a multi-tasker?

Another place we tried on Stock Island was the Rusty Anchor.  But, wait, aren't you saying that sounds like a place out of some '70s sitcom?  Well, you wouldn't be that far off.

It is actually quite good and the owner makes a specialty Conch steak that I just had to try. It was actually quite good and nicely tenderized (or else it would have been a rubber chew toy).  There's a lot of historical fishing pics and some things from the neighboring Naval Air Station there.  Everybody was very nice and definitely a locals hangout.
