What is it about doughnuts at the beach? Perhaps this is another reason I love the coast. I rarely if ever eat a doughnut. But, at the beach, let me just say three little words.....hot and now!
I was in a class at the beach a while back with a great friend of mine from work. I cannot reveal her name....she would vehemently deny this story. In all truthfulness, however, ten pm found us in our hotel room in pj's wolfing down wonderfully still warm doughnuts. A life passage has definitely occurred when savoring these doughy delicacies in my pj's is preferable to an excursion to hot beach club 2001!
Drew has Daddies and Doughnuts at school once a year. Moms are invited to the still nice but somehow less enticing Muffins for Moms. Whether muffins or doughnuts or for that matter seafood or steaks, nothing tastes quite as good at home as it does at the beach, does it?
Drifting back to the coast, on this trip and on my cousins' recommendation, we discovered a great little spot called Mr. Fish. Located in a Myrtle Beach strip shopping center and all indications that it at some previous time was a deli, Mr. Fish served up one of the most fun and varied seafood menus I have ever seen. Mr. Fish must have offered a dozen at least fresh catches ranging from mahi to roughy and everything in between. There were tilapia and tuna, flounder and fish tacos, salmon and shrimp and grits, grouper, cheesy crab dip....I even think I spotted sushi. Sassy sides included red beans and rice and cabbage and squash (that's cabbage and squash as in one dish). Mr. Fish also offered great tee shirts at great prices. Readers will be happy to hear that I passed up the wicked double entendre of the "If it smells like fish, eat it" version, but take my word that those were selling fast. (Imagine that!) With an appealingly wide selection of beer and wine, the only 'dee' lights I didn't find there were....you guessed it.....doughnuts!
