Sea Hags Seafood, Saint Pete Beach, FL

AIMEE: Sea Hags Seafood in Saint Pete Beach, was okay. I wasn’t looking to spend a lot of money. We were mostly there for the company. We went with Kevin’s best friend Scott and his wife Autumn and we met up with their friend Pete who Kevin hasn’t seen in a while. It was good to spend time with friends and the view was pretty spectacular from the glass french doors that we were seated near. Both Autumn and I got the fried shrimp bucket (this was like my 2nd time having fried shrimp on this trip…seeing a trend? LOL). Sometimes when I get overwhelmed by a menu, its my old standby. It was okay, nothing spectacular or different about it. It came with fries. There was live music, and even though we weren’t up close to the bar where the music was, we could hear it without it being overpowering, so I appreciated that. Would I go here again? Only if we were going to be in the presence of great people again, otherwise, I could pass on it.

Kevin - As my wife said, we went here with a few good friends of ours.  They said that they had good food and good music. From first impression, I get the local hangout vibe, which is good, because that usually means the food is good.  I ordered fried calamari for an appetizer.  It was very good and the marinara sauce was tasty. I had the fried Grouper for dinner.  I was slightly apprehensive at first, since a have seen a live grouper about 9 hours prior at the Florida Aquarium.  It tasted wonderful.  Meaty and flavorful.  I could not finish the whole thing (especially since I ate calamari earlier).  The food was good, but not something that would make me come back right away.

The reason I am so fickle in Florida about seafood is because there are a TON of seafood places there.  They all cook very similar things, so I need to be really impressed before calling a place tops in my book.
