#11: Bayside Seafood - Seared tuna with crispy topping and wasabi dressing. The dressing didn't come through at all, but I did like the contrast of fresh soft fish to crispy topping. Not bad. #SWFLFirstBite #food #foodie #foodlover #baysideseafoodgrilland

Next: #17: T Michael's - fried shrimp with a sweet sauce and sautéed peppers underneath. Shrimp was large and crispy. The sauce was similar to a sweet chili sauce and it went well with the flavor of the shrimp and the savory peppers. #SWFLFirstBite #food

And we're done! Notes: next time I will rent the bird until the last 30 mins. Also, always give extra time to thaw your bird. Tasty and I'm definitely keeping the butter, garlic, thyme, lemon juice, and honey rub with a final finishing sprinkle of himilay
