Coastal Eats has returned to its traditional home behind Creations with some equally traditional seafood favorites. While you won't find anything earth-shattering at this sea-centric spot, the classic dishes on offer are fresh and well-prepared.
👍 Roasted Warm Water Lobster Tail with garlic butter
The lobster was so good this year that even I enjoyed it – and I typically steer clear of anything that swims. The flavor is quite mild, which I recently learned is a key difference between warm water lobster as compared to their cold water cousins. They also tend to have meat that is more tender, which was the other thing I enjoyed about this lobster dish. It tasted very fresh, which is likely due to this lobster making its home right here in Florida. While Maine may be famous for its lobster, I think I actually prefer their Floridian friends. My favorite part was how delicious it tasted when paired with its garlic butter dipping sauce. It was creamy, very rich, and tasted more like a light garlicky alfredo than a simple garlic butter.
👍 Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail with cocktail sauce
There's not a lot to say about this one – it's pretty basic, but it does feature some very fresh shrimp. They're large, juicy and paired with a traditional but tasty cocktail sauce and a beautifully charred lemon, which is a nice touch that adds a little flavor from the grill. If you're in the mood for a high quality shrimp cocktail, you can find one at Coastal Eats.
