Fido’s Courtyard celebrates Lobsterfest 2010

They came in by the buckets full and Fido’s Courtyard’s able kitchen staff prepared them, from teriyaki to naked to bacon wrapped, lobster was the order of the day. From early morning, fishermen hauled their coolers and buckets to Fido’s eager to weigh their lobsters and discover who had the biggest lobster of all (winner walked away with a cool $100).

Coolers full of lobsters made their way to Fido's Courtyard.

From then on the party started, patrons picked their lobster, seasoned it their style, and took it to the outside beach grill – cooked it their way. Served with a baked potato and coleslaw or rice and beans, plantain and coleslaw, lobster was enjoyed in all its forms.

A sure fire hit of the day was the “naked” lobster for the true lobster enthusiast. Nothing added to it, naturally grilled and served with a butter garlic dipping sauce, the Naked Lobster was enjoyed by many. Another delicious hit was bacon wrapped lobster kebab, after all bacon makes everything taste even better. Yum, is all Gay Travel Belize has to say. Both dishes were served with either a baked potato or rice and beans, coleslaw and plantain.

Patrons enjoyed grilling their own lobsters.

Fido’s Courtyard has always been known for its great live entertainment and Fido’s did not disappoint. Dennis Wolfe and the Usual Suspects were on hand to provide island music and the Caribbean beats to Lobsterfest 2010. Stopping in for a video shoot was Joey Stevens and Bob the Parrot of One Caribbean Weather/WSEE TV who are on Ambergris Caye doing a series for the show.

Other activities for the first day of Lobsterfest included, Pin the Tail on the Lobster, Spin the Lobster and a great Horseshoe competition.

With the opening of the season, Fido’s Courtyard now serves lobster served in many delicious ways. Don’t forget to stop in at Fusion – great NEW lobster rolls, and Nautica. For more information contact info@gaytravelbelize.com
