  • Fat Nation @ Annual NJ Seafood Festival in Belmar

    Driving
    into Belmar (it’s a nice college town that’s on the
    beach….)

    finding parking was a bitch…but after we
    did…commence…oh festival….

    then
    after round 1 of food….we decided to walk around and check out the rest of the
    tents.

    belmar13.jpg
    put
    some tartar sauce on mine…twas pretty good…not amazing…and i couldn’t
    really find the promised “lump” crab meat, but it was pretty
    good.

    i look short….
    belmar15.jpg
    oh
    wait i am short….har har har.

    then
    we went and walked on the boardwalk to check the beach out…it’s 7 bucks to get
    onto the beach…which to me is a tad expensive…but then i realized…the
    beach is really clean…and very well monitored….
    belmar17.jpg
    alas,
    i had to settle for a nice romantic walk with Alphatrion…and yes i’m
    scratching my ass….
    belmar18.jpg
    the
    boardwalk is an awesome walk, the crashing waves…there’s no ‘ocean’ salt
    smell, so it was really nice…
    belmar19.jpg
    then
    for ROUND 2!!!!
    belmar20.jpg
    Lobsters,
    Shrimps, Clams, Snow Crab Legs OH MY!…not.

    Alpha couldn’t figure out which to put in his mouth
    first…
    belmar22.jpg
    YueJau couldn’t wait for
    deshelling….

    belmar23.jpg
    I
    on the other hand enjoyed my Pina Coooolada smoothie more than my
    food…..
    belmar24.jpg
    see?
    clams underneath….
    belmar25.jpg
    All
    in all i had a great time…the food was…ok. but it may be cause i’m spoiled
    by Maine…that this shtuff just doesn’t ‘wow’ me…I think next year we will
    only come here if we get more people to go…as it was kind of last
    minute….though the day was sweltering…we did have a great time. and that’s
    all that really matters.
