Kat just got back from a long weekend in Florida and while she was there she tried lots of new (to her) foods, including some delicious fare from Rusty's Seafood & Oyster Bar!

On our last afternoon in Florida, Shawn & I took a short trip up A1A from our hotel in Cocoa Beach to Rusty's Seafood & Oyster Bar in Cape Canaveral. We were seated along the rail on the outside patio right on the water with an amazing view of the water.

Shawn ordered steamed oysters for us. I won't lie, I was really nervous about this. I've never eaten oysters before but luckily, he walked me through how to separate them from the shell, put them on a saltine, and drizzle some butter & horseradish sauce. I have to admit, I liked them more than I thought I would.

We also had fried gator tail. Now, I've had gator tail before. In fact, we had it the day before at another restaurant in Cocoa Beach, but the gator tail at Rusty's was superior. The breading was lighter. They weren't over-done and I think the dipping sauce was tastier too.

I ordered my very first fish sandwich. I have never been a fish eater, although I love sushi - Weird, I know, but after trying a bite of Mahi-Mahi that Shawn had ordered for himself elsewhere, I thought I'd give it a shot. I ordered my Mahi-Mahi sandwich jerked - meaning it had some cajun spices. It was incredibly delicious and the cole slaw was some of the best I've ever had!

Shawn ordered the Shrimp Scampi, and I have to admit, I ate more than a few bites off of his plates. (Yes. I am that girlfriend.) The garlic butter sauce on the pasta was tasty and the shrimp were perfectly cooked.

Of course, we had to have dessert too! We shared a piece of White Chocolate Cheesecake. It was absolutely delectable!!!

All and all our trip to Rusty's Seafood & Oyster Bar in Cape Canaveral was the best dining experience we had while we were in Florida. Everything from the atmosphere, live music and food to the service (our server's name was Chelsea) was perfectly on point. If you're headed to Florida, make it a priority to stop and try it!
