We slept in this morning after talking to the neighbors, Don and Dianne, last night until almost eleven. Lovely people with a great outlook on life, and fun to be around. They had visited a local seafood market yesterday, and were experimenting with grilling oysters. Their efforts were so successful that today we bought a dozen oysters at the same store and hope to grill them tonight! I'll let you know how that works out!
The seafood store is Millender and Sons Seafood Company, in Carrabelle. It's a fourth generation shop that wholesales seafood across the southeast. We talked with a great-grandson, who gave us some tips on preparing the oysters, as well as the jumbo shrimp we also bought.
Their prices are exceptionally reasonable....check out the price for Lobster tail! And these were about 3/4 lb tails!
We needed to get some fixin's for dinner, so we stopped by the Carrabelle IGA store (they only grocery store for miles...). Several very friendly ladies helped us navigate to our needed items and then back out. As we returned to the park, we saw a sign advertising a really cool southern redneck thing!
A quick check of the website told us that the next event wasn't going to be until Labor Day, when music, mud racing and free truck washes were going to be on tap for four days of fun and frivolity! Known far and wide as the Redneck Throwdown....getcher tickets now....!
Our time at Ho Hum is coming to an end, sadly. We've met some great people and enjoyed the Gulf views from our site. We may have to come back!
