Finally after weeks of rain we had a gorgeous day to get out and enjoy. Robbie and I had a very busy morning with a listing appointment, signatures on a purchase contract, and previewing a condo for a buyer….after all that we were starving.
So where to go for lunch??? On a day as pretty as this there is only one answer for me… The Back Porch in Destin.
The Back Porch has been a favorite of mine for years! Not only do they serve delicious seafood but look at that Gulf view…now that is priceless. I will tell you that I wasn’t much of a fish fan and only in the past several years acquired a taste for it and only certain ones cooked a certain way. Yes I am picky!
My favorite is the Angry Amberjack Sandwich. A beautiful piece of fish lightly breaded and fried and served on a bun with a slice of cheese and some great red pepper relish to spice things up a bit! Awesome!
But yesterday I stepped out a bit and tried this same fish “bronzed” which apparently means “blackened” but not quite as spicy. Well I have to tell you that was a fabulous sandwich. Robbie also tried something new….the crab sandwich. Coming from Louisiana she is all about seafood and loves crab. That cake cake was huge and she said it is probably one of the best she has ever tasted. Now that’s saying a lot!
The Back Porch came to Destin in 1979 in a little A frame building and through the years they have added on. They also have a great gift shop that has some unusual items as well as awesome Tee Shirts.
The Back Porch located at 1740 Scenic Highway 98 E which is just East of Silver Shells Resort. If you haven’t tried the Back Porch…put that on your “Must Do” list.
