January 2019

Happy New Year!



We have had a truly wonderful year and are thankful to all our supporters. Cheers to another fantastic year!

Local Events


We hope you all had a fun, safe New Year's Eve! Other than welcoming 2019, there are not many events in January. Buy tickets to the 30A Songwriters Festival taking place January 18-21st throughout the 16 beach neighborhoods of South Walton to enjoy local music. The HarborWalk Winter Concert Series also begins January 13th and continues every Sunday through February 24th. There is also plenty of room to relax at the beach. Just bring a blanket and a hot drink since our weather ranges 35 to 60 degrees most days in January.

Recipe of the Month


Triggerfish Ceviche


Ingredients:

Triggerfish Filets

Bag of key limes

One orange

Onions

Red Peppers

Green Peppers

Jalapeños




Instructions:

Dice the veggies and triggerfish. I did not include exact amounts in the Ingredients list since this is Captain Reid's favorite recipe and he does not have exact amounts. It should look like a pretty even rainbow; about equal amounts of everything other than the jalapeños. Squeeze key limes (limes work if they are all that is available) until all the fish and veggies are coated. Let marinate for about 12 hours, refrigerated. Serve with crackers and enjoy!
