Conch Fritters are Paradise

Yo, when I visited the Bahamas to scuba dive, I hit up this place called the "Fish Fry" and they had bomb conch fritters. It's like a hushpuppy with a conch in the middle. So bomb to wash down with a few Kaliks.

I watched it - pretty cool. I love the Bahamas.

This is a fun cameo of Mr. Agree to Disagree. If I'm going to the Bahamas, it's gonna be Marlin steaks or white fish boil all day for me. Would wash it down with a nice cold Kalik though. We do agree on that.

Just gotta watch out for those f'in Barracudas jumping onto the boat chasing your catch. Predatory jerks wanting to literally feed off of your work...

Let me try this A2D hat on.

Bahamas are overrated. It’s worth a stop on a cruise. But don’t stay there more than that. We went to the Bahamas for a destination when there was a big concert. We even stayed at the same Hilton Resort as the performer. The day after the concert, it was like the island took a nap until a cruise ship came in to port. The rest of the trip followed likewise. Even senior frogs was dead on nights when cruise ships were not at port.

It’s not to say it’s a bad place to vacation. But it’s a lot of chilling by the ocean as there isn’t much to do. The big straw market closes down for the most part unless there is a ship docked.

First, Senor Frog's is an all-time classic. Along with it's sister bars of Carlos 'n Charlies. Was so sad when the then owner died in that boat racing accident. 

Second, what's wrong with the idea of just chilling on the beach, sipping a tasty beverage, and simply having nothing to care about? I mean that's my goal in life between you me and the lamppost.

Third, there is plenty to do like swimming with the pigs or dolphins (so long as they don't try and grape you), fishing for Marlin or White fish, snorkeling, being a boring midwestern Karen and scoping all the celebrity homes and islands, going to the casinos, other sight seeing adventures, etc.

I can agree with this disagree. We did things like the pig island, snorkeling, Atlantis, and even did a glass submarine ride across a reef. We ate real well and spent ample time lounging around the ocean swimming, reading, drinking, and napping.

It was just unfortunate that when the sun went down, the town packed it up and went home leaving evening entertainment activities to be desired. I suppose it was chill to drink at the hotel bar, but drinking out and about was not all that alluring unless there was a ship at port.

My family has property in Panama City (yee fucking haw). It’s a nice place to visit as it’s more Rosemary Beach area (rich white people area), but even then there’s too many people on the beach for my liking. I love GOOD seafood - there’s a place on Alys Beach that I’ll roll up to in a Hawaiian shirt and swim trunks when everyone else is dressed up (suits, sundresses, typical upper class beach wear). I sit at the bar and get an old fashioned with Macallan and bacon wrapped quail. Usually do the scallops as my main course with another old fashioned. Braves game is usually on so I’ll watch with the bartender who knows me. I’ll probably go down sometime in April once the weather heats up and spend a week or so there.

Anyways, I walk around 2 miles west if I want to lay out on the beach - I want peace and quiet. Doesn’t matter if you have a $4M house on the beach when the beach itself has people on it. I can’t stand people blasting their music in public - good news is Rosemary is nothing like PCB where it’s crowded with, for a lack of better terms, white trash. My family used to visit PCB growing up for family vacation so not like I’m above it lol.

I’ve found that although I don’t dislike getting blasted with friends at bars, I’m happiest when I’m alone and reading a book or listening to a podcast (concerning the beach). My ideal day at a beach is waking up with the sun then walking around. Lay in the sun a few hours if it’s not too hot (I don’t worry about UV unless it’s above a 7, but yes I’ll use sunscreen as even us darkies can get burnt), then go for a drive with the windows down.
