Black Hammock

You know how much I love seafood.  Especially fried.  Especially catfish.  Last night we were invited, along with some other friends, to go to Black Hammock Restaurant and Air Boat Rides.  I've always wanted to go.  It didn't disappoint.  It's a tiny piece of old Florida located in the middle of nowhere on Black Hammock Fish Camp Road.

This must be where they get the
gator bites.

Dave thought he might take a ride.
But decided not. 

Gator is the most popular dish.  We had an order of gator bites for the table to share.  Dave wasn't sure.  We told him they tasted like chicken.  He tried one and said it tasted like "gator."

Black Hammock also features two for one margaritas.  All day, every day, "and that includes right now."  I didn't have one of those but I did, of course, have fried catfish.

If you go, be sure to be on the dock at sunset. 

You can order dinner in combination with an airboat ride.  We didn't do that - but it looked like fun.  Whenever you're here (and everybody is here at some point) and you want to see a bit of old Florida, try the Black Hammock.
