Final Florida lunch with my Dad at a local hotspot: @stewbyseafoodshanty on Okaloosa Island. They have multiple locations but this one is by far my favorite. New, clean, beautiful scenery, and lots of space inside and outside.
🐟🐠🎣
I could eat here every day. Their seafood is the BEST. For lunch we tried their grilled grouper sandwich and seafood combo plate with amberjack, grilled shrimp, fried oysters, and all the sides and sauces to go with it (check out those scrumptious cheese grits)! 
🐟🐠🎣
Next door they have a seafood market, gift shop, and new steamer restaurant with steam buckets of shrimp, crab, and flounder with all the fixins. ⬅️ I know what I am ordering next time! Their motto: local fish at local prices. Check them out and thank me later.

🦀 Check out our lunch yesterday at my parents favorite local spot, @soiasianbistro . We tried a variety of items off of their massive updated menu.
🍣 The sushi was by far the best thing we ordered. Another must try is the Shiso Mono appetizer, which is tempura fried Japanese basil leaves stuffed with spiced tuna. 
🍤 We also ordered cucumber salad, pork ramen, udon noodles, and chicken katsu curry. All were tasty and big enough to share with the sushi appetizer. 
🍜 I recommend checking out Soi Bistro if you are in town and enjoy fresh seafood and Asian dishes like we do. But save it for a date night or special occasion b/c their price point was pretty high for a casual meal. ❤
