Cortez Fish Festival a success

Once again, the Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival lured thousands of seafood, fishing, and people lovers to the backstreets of the Cortez Fishing Village.

I went on Sunday, and had to get some smoked mullet prepared by Rick Gullett, and honestly it was the best I had ever had. Dip the mullet in a little gator sauce and I was feeling Old Cortez.

It was incredible to see how many people turned out, and from so many states. They came out to listen to live music, eat from a supreme variety of seafood, and smell the saltwater from north Sarasota Bay.

Thanks again to everyone who put on the event, and to A.P. Bell and Star Fish Co. for allowing themselves to be at the center of the mayhem.

I'm sure we all look forward to it next year.
