I set up a Army Christmas Party at Dock on the island and it was to host a large group and everything was amazing.

We spent the morning off shore fishing with Nick of Scallywag Charters. Afterward, we took the fish we caught and had Chef Tommy cook it. He used his discretion and made the best fish tacos we have ever had! We also had a little blackened, grilled and fried. I can not say enough how delicious it all was. I highly recommend Chef Tommy cooking up your catch!
