Never been to the Restaurant Depot.
SANWA also carries frozen lobster meat (and frog legs); the last time it was around $10 per pound, bought some for Mac & Cheese.
It's a great value for chowders and soups

Yellow Jack
Filet and skin them, remove the very large blood line; you prbably end-up with two pieces by the time you remeove the blood line.
Season them any way you want and grill them
Or fry the filets, makes good fish tacos.
Enjoy, a very un-appreciated fish
The Refinery (Tampa)
After my encounter with the "grunge" (maybe hip) looking server, and the attitude, that was enough for me
BBQ in Florida
Man that's to bad.
I actualy had the brisket sandwich, and it was good, others had the pull pork sandwich and it was also good.
The sides some were good some not so good.
Beans, slaw, fried okra, sweet potato casserole all good.
Mac & chesse fried pickels could be better
When I placed my order they guy was cleaning the bisket right in front of me, and it looked like a good job had been done on it.

Favorite markets in Tampa
The Tampa Wholesale Market sadly is not what it used to be (many years ago) you can still get some good stuff, but is run largely like flee market stalls. The prices and quality at the flee market in the Fun Land drive-in are sometimes better than at the TWM.
There is another place before the railroad tracks on the right (going west on Hills.) before you get to TWM that may be of interest to you.
It used to be called SAWA (don't know what it stood for) and is called something else now, it has kind of an asian twist to it,
It's easy to find
Good luck

Cacciatore Bros is at the corner of Hanley Rd. and Paula Dr., it's called Cacciatore's Plaza
Paula Dr. runs E-W, Hanley Rd. to Ambasador Dr.
The Farm Store is long gone, replaced by the parking lot for the library.
That I know of, there is no "Ambassador Supermarket" in the T&C area.

Sharing a table?
Question for this board, I did not post in the General Topics Board because I was looking for the area's perspective (maybe it will be moved).
The question is sharing a table at a restaurant?
If you go to a restaurant that has a waiting list for tables, not reservations, or reservation only area, but an area with a first come first served list.
If there are empty spots in that particular area, is it a no-no to ask to share a table?
Is it a no-no because you irritate people waiting, that don’t have the sensibility to ask?
Is this considered queue jumping?
Thanks for the input.

QUESTION ON GULF "BAITFISH" AS A TASTY DISH? [Moved from Florida board]
It’s been a while since I’ve gone fishing in the bay.
We used to catch bait fish of different sizes thorough the summer for “bait”, however when nothing was being caught we bring home some of the bait fish for dinner, as you said, ala “Frito Misto”.
Before you spend a lot of time cleaning a big bucket of unknown bait fish, I recommend you try a hand full of each type you catch, and mentally catalog (or other wise) the fish, for the next time.
On a couple of occasions what we caught was not edible, the amount of bones thought-out the meat made eating impossible, unless you ground the whole fish.
1. My favorite way of cleaning the fish is to scale it, even if small, cut of the head and the belly. I don’t care how small the fish is I don’t like the guts. Fry them sprinkle with salt and lime.
2. Clean them the same as above, place them on a BBQ over hot coals, they cook really fast. Remove from BBQ and spoon a mixture of parsley, garlic, lemon and olive oil over the grilled fish.
3. Boil them, use the meat to make “croquettes” and use the broth to make rice or other dishes for filler, because it takes a lot of bait fish to get full.
Enjoy

More up-scale, try the Don Cesar in St. Pete (Pass-a-Grill)
Sahara Lebanese restaurant / Sami's Bakery (Tampa)
The lebanese place on Memorial is open.
Small, place lacks any atmosphere, hole in the wall (not iin a bad way) just nothing to say about the place.
Stoped a few days ago, picked-up a falfel sandwich, to try them out, and the sandwich was small for the money (I have had better for less).
Hope they tune in to the area, and make it.
Tampa- Bollywood Cafe on Linebaugh, anyone been?
Been there a few times, food is good, had better but also had alot worse.
The first couple of times it food was not as spicy (hot), however, it has gotten more and more hot, a tad much for me.
Eat in, something is lost in the take-out.
I recomendt it, funky place (specially on Saturdays) with decent food.

Geat Thai food, and ambiance
Hidden out of the way place.
The last time we were there we ordered several items, but the one that stood out was the "Soft Shell Crab Panang". You have to try this dish.
Sol Beer
Check ABC Liquors, if they don't have it, ask them to order it.
Sol is made by the same people that make Tecate and Dos Equis (XX), the distributor for your area will carry it.
If you call the distributor they will tell you who stocks it.
UF Gainesville campus?
"Can be casual and low-key but not a college hang out"
"Ended up going to the SWAMP and it was exactly what we wanted. Total college, fun bar."
My greatest fear of sending my two kids to UF,and spending a bunch of money (hope your visit did not involve my kids).
