Sous les recommandations de la sœur d'Hubby nous sommes allés manger a Little Moir's Food Shack. De l’extérieur ça ne paye pas de mine, il faut dire que c'est dans un outlet mall (center commercial ouvert sur l’extérieur) et a proximité de Publix (supermarché).
Following recommendations from Hubby's sister we went to eat at Little Moir's Food Shack. From this outside it looks uninviting, it doesn't help that it's located in an outlet mall next to Publix.
Once inside it gets nicer though, we were seated at the counter.
From which we could check out the eclectic style of the room.
And see the cooks work. It's incredible to see what they can make in such little space and without running into each other.
I truly enjoyed the Tuna & Basil Roll, it's one of the dish they're known for.
While Hubby ordered the dish of the day with swordfish.
For the anecdote, a guy sitting next to us had already ordered when he saw an other dish in the kitchen and changed his mind. The cooks had already put his fish on the grill so they removed it. The guy said no, that he would take both if they could just put the original order in a to go box he would take it home.

Il y a un petit musée interactif avec des informations sur les tortues, parfait pour les enfants.
A l’extérieur il y a des bassins avec des tortues en cours de réhabilitation, certains sont équipés pour créer un courant afin de faire travailler les muscles des tortues.
Not far from the restaurant is a turtle hospital. The entrance is "free" but the $5 donation is almost requested by the hospital. There is a small interactive museum with information about turtles, perfect for kids.Outside are small pools with turtles under rehabilitation. Some are set up to create a curent to make the turtle work their muscles.
Un exemple: la tortue ci-dessous, elle n'est pas albinos mais très claire, trop claire, il y a de fortes chances qu'elle se fasse vite manger car trop visible, mais il vont la relâcher quand même.
They also have little hatchlings that got lost and didn't find the sea. I talked with the volunteer because it seems to go against mother nature where only the strongest reach the ocean. The weak don't "add" to the genetic pool. Yes, that's logical they said except that mankind has done so much damage to the turtle population that they have to give every turtle a chance since th specie is in danger.
An example of that is the turtle below, it's not albinos but very light colored, too light, chances are it will be eaten quickly because too visible, but they will still release it.
The weakest babies are put in a buoy equipped with a net to gamin strength, but not all survive non the less. The babies are usually brought to the center by locals who find them in their yards or far from the sea.
The hardest is to see nice big turtles with their shell damaged by boat propellers.
