Stingeree

in

Yesterday, my son and I took the ferry over to the Bolivar Peninsula to enjoy a late lunch on Crystal Beach. Our destination was Stingeree, a popular seafood restaurant and marina and, most important to me, a place Matt had not yet been to.

As always, I enjoy introducing him and other family members to places I’ve discovered since buying The Bungalow and living part-time on Galveston Island.

Stingeree is a great restaurant - for lunch or dinner. It’s known for many good things: its friendly and attentive wait staff, its delicious fresh seafood and its incredible view of the intercostal waterway, where it’s always fun to watch the boats go by!

And, at night, there is often live music featured outside on the lower deck.

Stingeree’s menu is extensive, and the servings are large. Here, it is advisable to consider sharing a main entree. you both will still walk away full and satisfied.

Matt and I began our meal at Stingeree by ordering two margaritas, the restaurant’s highly acclaimed seafood platter (to share) and an extra plate of boiled shrimp (again, to share).

With the help of a second round of margaritas, we were able to spread out our dining time and eat it all - as well as a generous serving of Stingeree’s ever-popular Key Lime Pie.

Admittedly, Matt ate most of the extra boiled shrimp; I ate most of the yummy dessert. And, as I said, we both walked away full and satisfied.
