Keys Please!



That's what we say when we are ready to go to the in the Keys!  One might also get the "Keys Disease" when they are a few days away from their vacation.  :)  One of our favorite things to do when we are vacationing is outdoor/water activities.  While it is technically still lobster season, the water temperature in Florida was not as warm as it is in July & August!  We decided to allow the lobster a few more months to mature until we are ready to catch them again next summer! 

We were fortunate to go on a fishing charter last Sunday for the day.  I decided that it wasn't too much for me to put up with 5 other fishermen, 1 first mate (also male), and Captain Steve.  The boys were very courteous to me and allowed me to catch the first fish!  Luckily about halfway through the day we ran into a school of dolphin (Mahi Mahi) and caught a few keepers! 



Mom & Dad's friend, Phil, is an excellent cook and Frank got a couple of shots of him grilling the filets.  I wanted to share Phil's recipe for grilling the fish.  Here's what he used for the marinade: soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, lime zest, and garlic.  The fish marinaded for a couple of hours and then he grilled them to perfection!  We served it with some Asian slaw, roasted red potatoes, and garlic bread! 

The delicious Mahi Mahi!
