Seafood Festival

Last Saturday we went to the Seafood Festival http://ncseafoodfestival.org/ We had so much fun eating our way through the festival. Just keep in mind that we only bought one of each and shared.  This way we could try more food.  We started out with some bacon wrapped scallops.  The next stand we went to had Philly shrimp wrap with onions and peppers which were very good.  Then we had a warm crab and spinach dip that was so good. We stopped at the Chef's tent to watch some demonstrations on cooking seafood.  We also got a chart on the NC seafood and when it is in season.  A stand was set up for the kids to touch and learn about the different fish in the ocean. Isabella would have loved this stand.

 After that we headed out to the street where all the winery's were.  We had fun sampling some wine.  Our favorite wine was from the Duplin Winery http://duplinwinery.com/ the wines they sell are sweet wines which is what we like.  We decided to have some dessert as we were watching some dancing demonstrations.  Greg had chocolate covered cheesecake and I had a chocolate covered banana.  We walked around checking out all the craft vendors.  Next it was onto having a skewer with shrimp,peppers and pineapple with a roasted ear of corn.  We walked around for 5 hours and decided it was time to go.  But wait, we had to go back for one more skewer of bacon wrapped scallops and a skewer of seasoned shrimp.  On the way to the car we stopped at the boat show.

I would recommend this festival to anyone who likes seafood.  They had rides for the kids, a small playground set up for the little ones. Some great music on stage.  A nice day out for the family.
