Green Torpedoes and a Twisted Pretzel but still Good Eating!

Thank goodness it is the end of August!  This has been such a long month for me! Has it been a long one for you too?  What with all the birthdays, sad days and then our little Hurricane Irene!  Oh what a mess she left behind!  Well at least Crabby Mike's is none the worst for wear!  Love that place!  Good food, good cheer, and good folks!  Next time you're down on Topsail Island, stop off in Surf City and check out Crabby Mike's.  It's across from Ward Realty.  Everyone knows where Ward Realty is and if you don't just email me.  Speaking of Ward Realty, they lost their signage during the storm.  Irene twisted that sign like it was a pretzel!  Yep sure did and BP's canopy flipped over creating quite a stir about town.  But other than a few signs down and some shingles sent flying we fared pretty well considering our neighbors to the north were not as fortunate.  So come what may, Surf City and Topsail Island is open for business Labor Day weekend folks!

September is the first month of fall and a wonderful month for those of us who call Hampstead home.  It's the month we all show the world that yes indeed we are the Seafood Capital of the World!  And it's all because of a little fish called Spot.  Now it's called that because of a dark spot on it's body.  But if you have never eaten Spot before be sure to come to Hampstead the last weekend of September to try our fish!  You're sure to want more!  Around here we call it "good eating"! So if you find yourself liking our fish, head on over to Surf City and stop off at the Fishing Village.  Get yourself outfitted for fishing.  Be sure to pick up your fishing permit while you are there!  Don't want to forget that.  Now you can either fish in the surf like lots of folks do or you can fish at the Surf City Pier.  If you choose to fish at the pier be sure to tell Bigun I said "Hello little brother!"  He'll know who it was! 

Should you choose not to fish at all, any restaurant around here will be more than happy to serve you up a plate full of these sweet delicious fish.  Like I said, they're "good eating"!  Well Betty, that's about it for now.  I guess I better get back out here and pick up some more of these "green torpedoes".  Y'all have a nice day!  And if you decide to come down let me know, I get up with the folks over at Ward Realty, they have the best rental prices around!
