Nearby, I ate at Automatic Seafood this evening for the first time. I'd heard nothing but good things about the place, it's received all sorts of accolades. Good meal, but I thought it fell short. Party of seven, I tasted it all but the grilled oysters (my 9 y/o granddaughter wasn't in a sharing mood). No entree rocked my world. In fairness, the espresso creme brûlée was outstanding, as was the service.
One thing I learned from living in both the B’ham area and on the gulf coast… Seafood suggestions from non gulf coast residents are unreliable, at best. BBQ suggestions from those on the gulf coast are equally as dangerous, if not worse. That isn’t a 100% blanket statement that applies to all, but in my experiences at least, it rings about as true as can be.
I agree. The funny thing was that I had the scallops and short rib, their version of surf & turf. The scallops were very good, and the short rib was overcooked and tough. A decent short rib would've changed my view on my dish.
Damn. Talk about the truth here...
Speaking of...my "foodie" group is getting together tonight for dinner at the Chubby Fish. It was recommended from an angler...figure I'm safe. Here's a BBQ guy that got into seafood.

You are downtown, I assume. You can now understand what I mean by tourist season. We can't shoot you guys.

Last summer, my cousin died from COPD. His funeral was at Barrancas. We cousins with our parents met up at a church not too far from there before we drove over there. We just stopped and watched the Blue Angels practice for a while. Later during the service, the Blue Angels flew low a couple of times. Scared the hell outta one of my cousins, but damn! It was something else.
Point is, if you ever get a chance, see them. It is a treat!
At the air show today. I stayed at the truck cause I don't like crowds. You wouldn't believe how many car alarms these jets set off.
Looks like what DQ used to serve banana splits in.
I start shying away from Oysters this time of the year. I know they say April is in season although it's the last month of the season.

I will usually go with the farm raised Boutiques, but last night I went with the Louisiana wild caught. They had a super clean, good brine flavor. Jesse’s has a house made hot sauce that is some count too.
I haven't made it to the bay location yet, but it's hard to not eat a steak in Magnolia Springs.
