Recipes from the Florida Keys V

Find some nice fresh oysters and shuck them. This is the dangerous part, so be careful!) Lay the oysters out in the half shell on a baking pan and put a dab of garlic butter, white wine, parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning on top. Place in broiler until done to your liking.

The garlic butter we use here takes some time to make (but its worth it!) The easiest way to do this at home is just to allow some butter to melt at room temperature and add minced garlic and stir. It will keep for almost ever in the freezer if you make too much. We add a few more secret ingredients to our garlic butter, but you will have to stop by the Castaway to try ours!

The Castaway Crew

John and Arlene Mirabella are new owners of Cataway Restaurant -- one of Marathon's oldest seafood spots. The food has never been better and John and Arlene are wonderful hosts. They make you feel right at home. They sailed to Marathon from San Diego, so they've got great sea stories -- ask John about the time he caught a marlin while trolling a line behind their sailboat!
