Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish is Weird
I like this place because it looks like a spot where an old salty fisherman would unscrew his peg leg after a long day on the sea and throw back some hooch. It's rustic, and the outdoor seating is clutch, especially as it starts to get colder, and there's something pretty gangster about being cash only.
But, dining at this this little St. Pete Beach restaurant is entering another world. There's like 10 things on the menu, all involving fish, and a group of very old "take no bullshit" kinda people that run the joint. Wait, that's not really that bad either.
Maybe it's the fact that this hamburger looks like it time traveled to me from 1974. And it didn't come with anything on it? They just give you a big plate of chopped lettuce and fat slices of onion and tomato before your meal comes out, like "here, look at these condiments and imagine them on your future burger."
The German potato salad was a nice touch. I think it had bits of bacon in it, which my sacrilegious Jewish mouth can always appreciate.
I will say, the smoked fish spread is absolute deliciousness though. Seriously, I almost spread it all over my chest and did my famous smoked fish spread dance to show my appreciation, but my girlfriend said no.
