Dockside Restaurants And Ocean Fresh Seafood

Tags

By Connie Sears


Some of the tastiest ocean fresh seafood can be found at restaurants on the water. Those with a taste for crab, whiting, bass, scallops or shrimp can find them at marina eateries. Many of the fishermen who troll the ocean every day looking for just the right fish also sell them to food stores and fresh fish markets.

Seafood is one of the best additions to any health diet. It is recommended by health professionals as a lean source of protein, with salmon and others containing omega 3 fatty acids, rarely found in other sources. These fatty acids prevent many diseases, and encourage overall health. This is one of the reasons, along with its great taste, that it is such a money making industry.

Fishing is not just for promoting good health. Open ocean and sea fishing is also a sport, and those who participate want to experience fishing in the open seas and raw nature environment. As such, many are offered this experience through dockside restaurant angler fishermen, who catch fish for the restaurant daily. Some have turned their boats into not only a fish catching enterprise, but also an adventure ship for restaurant patrons.

Trips begin in the morning and end in the afternoon. Some of the trips focus on catching bass, bluefish, tautog, and flounder. Other, separate excursions include tuna, swordfish, black bellied rose fish, and tile fish. Not all seas and oceans contain the same species of fish, therefore, trips will focus on species known to that specific water. Trips will be 15 or 20 miles away from the shore. Other deep sea trips will require 40 to 80 miles away from the coast. Fishermen can expect 70 to 120 feet of depth, and for deep sea 120-800.

Such trips usually attract tourists and well and has been coming a business on the rise. Angler fishing is what takes place and is done by a rod and bait. This type of sport fishing is for recreation. It is also used on a commercial basis in a slightly different way. This type of fishing is good for smaller fish. Bigger fish will require a sea rod and make sure it includes on the line, 30 to 40 pounds.

Some fishing excursions will also take place over reefs, especially if fishing for larger fish, like cod. Sea captains oversee trips and give sport fisherman the experience of a lifetime on the open ocean waters. Some trips also include deep drop fishing, which is less common, but also allows for catching bottom fish.

Dinner and nature cruises may also be offered by dockside restaurants. This might include dinner and a scenic cruise on the anger ship or a separate cruiser. There may be some offered that are strictly nature based, going out to the open ocean to spot dolphin or experience the sea and all its wonder. Others may be a tour of the city by water, with favorite wines and foods.

Rather tasting ocean fresh seafood from a restaurant, marina sunset cruiser, or from a home skillet, it continues to be a dining delicacy. Nothing is healthier or more nutritious than fish. Nothing is more pleasing than when it is freshly caught on nature's open waters.
