We hear that Bimini Boatyard had its best sales days ever during last week’s International Boat Show.
The numbers are in, and they are ridiculous.
According to chef Michael Bennett, a literal ton of seafood went through the kitchen and out on the plates. Check the breakdown:
Atlantic Mahi-Mahi — 210 pounds
Gulf of Mexico Grouper — 150 pounds
Key West Stone Crabs — 480 pounds
Key West Lobster — 120 pounds
Atlantic Swordfish — 90 pounds
South America Corvina — 90 pounds
Key West Yellowtail Snapper — 160 pounds
Jamaican Festival Grouper — 125 pounds
Oyster on the half shell — 600 pounds
Caribbean and Florida Shrimp — 145 pounds
California Calamari — 210 pounds
That translates to a tidy profit for owner Steve Hudson, a businessman and yachtie who took it over with his brother and father-in-law in 2008.
