fort desoto pinellas county park

Fort Desoto Pinellas county park is our destination in early June. Have reservations already, but want some info on eateries in the nearby area. Driving a 22' B+ with no toad, so parking can be an issue. Sea food is a definite plus, but open to most any local fare.

thanks

    Rangerman, you hit a nerve with smoked fish. To me it's a gotta have when possible. Ted Peters sounds like the place we have to try.

    Thanks a bunch!!!


    Ted Peters has great smoked fish-- I like the smoked fish dip. Note - they are closed on Tuesday and only take cash !

    I just remember the portion sizes were huge!! I could barely finish mine. It's also an open air place so dress accordingly.
  • Not big on Salmon myself. What is the preferred fish: salmon, mahi-mahi, mackerel or mullet? Wonder if they serve a mixed platter? Gosh, my mouth is watering in anticipation.
  • I can't remember what I got but I know it wasn't salmon. My wife and I each got something different. I want to say we had a Mahi Mahi and a Mullet. Either way they were both delicious.
  • NoVa RT, you mentioned the toll roads. We're thinking about getting a Sunpass, but I have a question as to how they rate vehicles. I know the rates are per axle and we have only 2 but the rear is dual wheel. When we were in the Chicago area we were told that the dual rear wheels take the vehicle out of the two axle category. Does the same apply to Florida?

    Nope-- just counts the axles.
