By Request and Demand, It's the Conchquistador's Recipe for Awesome Lobster Bisque!! It's ALL about The Heads!!

You know, it's funny. Down here in The Florida Keys, we are all Ga Ga for fresh Caribbean Lobster.  Hell, our Local economy practically goes into Dark Black during Mini Season.  Add to that the cost of gear, boats, bully nets...there is a lot of money spent to catch these critters..  We love our tails...yes I said tails.  And THERE is the Rub!! Most people THROW AWAY the tastiest part of the Lobster....The Head!!!

Now don't go getting squeamish on me.  Yes I said Head.  In many animals, the meat and flesh around the head are some of the most FLAVORFUL on the animal.  If you did not know it was "Head Cheese" and had a slice you would probably think it was a fantastic cold cut.  That being said, the HEADS of the Lobster are in my Opinion the Key to a great Lobster Bisque and stock.  I can not tell you how often I see them discarded.  Also a little hint, they make great Chum....more on that later.

So, The Conchquistator's Lobster Bisque:
The first thing to know is that I take the long way around to make my Bisque.  I am sure there are quicker
Getting My Tasty Ingredients Ready
 ways, but for me the Journey is as much fun as the tasty Destination.  Now as my lovely wife will attest, I am not a hard core recipe guy, I have a basic sketch that I flair to taste and quantity, so I will give you my basic, but add or subtract as necessary. You will need about 4 to 6 heads depending on size.

This process from start to finish take about 3 1/2 to 4 Hours. It also helps if you have a tripod Burner that you can use outside to create the stock.

The first step is to separate the tails from the heads and prepare the tail meat to your favorite recipe, but save some for the Bisque at the end.  Now, the Heads, the glorious Heads.. Break off the antennae at the second joint and discard. Then, cut the heads, in half, lengthwise.  Yes it might be messy, but Butch up! With your a knife or spoon, lightly loosen some of the innards, known as tomalley, but do not remove.  Now, place in a large stock pot and cover with water.  Use at least 12 cups of water to cover, if it takes more that is fine but we need 10 cups for this recipe.  Throw in about 1/4 cup of olive oil, key lime halves, and 2 Bay leaves.  Bring to a hard rolling boil, then reduce heat, add in 12 oz of tomato paste and simmer for 1 hour 45 minutes, stirring every so often.  Now kick back have a cocktail and or cigar and let the heads do their magic!

While we are waiting, here are the other ingredients:
20 oz Tomato Paste ( I usually get a  12 oz can and 8 oz can)
2 cups chopped red onion
2 cups chopped celery, if you can, throw in a few leaves
2 cups chopped carrots
2 sprigs Thyme
2 Bay Leaves
1 Key Lime, cut in half
1/2 teaspoon Saffron
6 cups of Heavy Cream
1 Cup of cream Sherry
2 tablespoons for fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup of cornstarch
1/4 cup of Olive oil

OK, now  that you have created some awesome Lobster Stock, lets strain it.  Remove as much of the lobster shells and large pieces as you can with tongs.  If you are a fisherman, keep those parts they make great chum.  Now using a really tight strainer or sieve, drain stock into new pot. I usually double strain, as I want it to be as much pure liquid as possible. OK put this aside, you should have about 10 cups or more of nice red stock.

In a sauce pan, combine the chopped veggies, thyme, saffron, pepper, and 4 cups of your just made stock. Heat on high for 15 minutes, stirring often.  Now add lower heat to simmer and add 8 oz Tomato paste and heat 30 minutes.. This creates some nice earthy veggie flavor.  When complete, strain into original stock.  Then I like to strain the whole batch once more, trying to have pure liquid.

Liquid Gold!!!
OK, now time to start heading to the finish line. Place stock on Medium Heat and whisk in Heavy Cream and Sherry, heat for 30 minutes.  Now mix corn starch and about 1/4 cup of water into the bisque to thicken slightly and heat for about another 20 minutes..

You now have Liquid Gold!!! you can enjoy it now, but what i prefer to do is put it in the refrigerator for 2 days, Then have it.  Letting flavors marinate. You should have about 9-10 cups or more.

When ready heat up bisque and add chunks of tail meat and a little chopped parsley.

Man, I love being in The Keys where such delectable treats are right here off our shores!!

Bon Appetite!

OK! It's time for Mini-Lobster Season!!!  Get The Butter!

Your Conchquistador With Tonight's Dinner!
For 2019 the Bugs are out and they Are Big!!

Yes it's that crazy two days in July here in The Keys where boat gas prices soar, and Johnny Law is just itching to cite violators who don't measure or exceed their catch.

Hoards of marine hunters motor down here boats in tow, like pilgrims to Mecca to hunt for our tasty crustations and catch a post dive buzz at the Tiki Bar.

For the uninitiated, Lobster Mini Season is always the last Wednesday and Thursday in July.  
That gives recreational harvesters an edge on the commercial guys who can't start fishing until August 6th. 

It's time to get out your gloves, masks, nets, gauges and tickle sticks....( Why does Lobster Season sound like bad porn?? Honeyholes and tickle sticks?? Go figure!)  and head out into the briny for your quota of some of the most delectable fare the ocean has to offer.


It's also a great weekend for real estate, as many people, especially mainlanders finally say, "I need a place down here!"  And that, my friends is when your Humble Conchquistador springs into action!  With all the great deals down here, there is something for everyone.

From Mobile and Manufactured homes to Oceanfront Estates, The Florida Keys offer you your own customized Island Oasis.

Everyone Is in Mini-Season Mode!
So come on down, know the rules, grab some bugs (local slang for Lobster), grab a beer, and then call me to grab a slice of paradise.

Oh yeah and since you read this far, I am going to share with you, my faithful reader, one of my favorite spots! Trust me this is a Major Gift, as Spots are super secret!!! But hey...I am a benevolent Conchquistador.
Try Hog Rocks off Key Largo GPS  N24 59.550 W80 27.440.  7-15 feet down under the rocks.

15% of Your Travel Time Through The Florida Keys Is On Bridges!

Yep, That's right, 15% of your time traveling from Key Largo to Key West is spent crossing Brides.

The Channel 5 Bridge - My Favorite!
In all, there are 42 Bridges that traverse our stunning waters, ferrying you from one Key to the next.  Each with it's own story.  Some small, like the Harris Gap bridge at 37 feet in the Lower Keys, to the Majestic and almost World Wonder-ish 7-Mile Bridge, and the stunningly eerie Old Bahia Honda Bridge (now decommissioned). 

Crossing these connectors is a study in colors and hues in the water, that would make even Bob Ross salivate, as he yearns to add some happy little corals.

Your Conchquistador has such a fascination and love for these concrete spans, that my License Plate is CONCH42.

These bridges create their own narrative, like a novel or film, with the dramatic opening of the so-high Jewfish Creek Bridge, hitting you over the head like a Beethoven opening, with it's jaw dropping views. An overture and foreshadowing of what's later to come. As the story goes on, Snake Creek Bridge bursts open the first great water view since, and closes out Act 1.  
As you progress, you reach the Dramatic midpoint of the 7-Mile Bridge, the tension of the sight of the Old Bahia Honda Bridge, and a slow resolution of the endgame, after crossing the denouement of the Nile Channel Bridge.  
Yes, Intrigue, Mystery, and Love... the labors of Love and sacrifice that went into building Flagler's original bridges, over 100 years ago, and the subsequent newer bridges.

This journey is a must on any Bucket List!

And Exhale ...The Hurricane Season Comes To An End and the Keys Are Blessed. It's Time for Neptune's Ball!

Like a good cigarette after sex (and I don't smoke), or a cup of coffee or espresso after dinner, or maybe a Brandy or Cognac. 
One can let go, and let that ...tension...dissipate.

The Tension?? The HT, Hurricane Tension, a type of PTSD you develop after being part of a serious Hurricane. 
And when June 1st rolls around, those that know what I'm talking about, realize that there is a menacing tightness that lingers until today, November 30th.

And, as we here in the Keys are only 1 year removed from the catastrophe of Irma, and in light Maria's and Michael's devastation,  that... stress, never really goes away during Season.  
One mention of a disturbance off of Africa and that hair rises, as does your pulse.... wondering, praying, that it doesn't come ... HERE.

This year, the Keys were blessed. And thankfully so, as the rebuilding efforts in the Lower Keys still have some ways to go. The scars need to mend. 
Our prayers, thoughts, and relief efforts go out to those affected by Michael. We know their pain and the challenges that lie before them.

Your Conchquistador has been through, Irma, and Wilma, and Katrina, Irene, and in the  Heart of Andrew (an experience like no other).  I know this stress first hand.  It's one of the reasons I am so adamant that my clientele are well prepared for the possibilities that exist. That their properties are ready, and that they themselves will be safe.

Yes, exhale my friends, let that HT, Hurricane Tension, subside. The Season is over. Put away your shutters and store your supplies.  

Of Course, in true Keys fashion, we are actually having a celebration party, entitled Neptune's Ball, at the super cool Heartbreakers Brewhouse, with musicians, craft beers, hookah lounge, a paddle board give away, and a custom sculpture burning at midnight!  
It's going to be a lot of fun!! 




November 30th is one of my favorite days of the year and June 1st, my least.

And for the 2018 Hurricane Season...let's tell that Bitch, "Na-na, Na-na, Hey-hey, Good-bye!"

You've Bought A Fantastic Keys Home. Now, Where Do You Go To Fish???

You know, one of the big questions I get asked by my buyer clients is, "Where do we go fish??" 

What You’ve gotta understand is,
that’s like asking, "Hey where is the Oasis in the Sahara??"

It’s a big ocean out there boys and girls, and this question is kind of an ambiguous one as well. 
A lot of factors go in to determining what’s a great fishing spot.


A just undersized Grouper caught on the Patch Reefs.
What maybe great to you isn't necessarily so great to me depending on the type of fish you like to catch, the style of fishing, and how much you can handle being rocked on a boat in "sporty " chop, before you are chumming the waters yourself.

The phenomenal thing about our Fabulous Florida Keys, is that they offer such a widdddddeeeee variety of fishing options!!


Mrs Conchquistador with a super mackerel caught in 17 ft of water!
So, if you’re looking for a constant rod pending action, where the thrill might not be so much catching that elusive big one, as much as being excited with every cast, you can’t beat the Patch Reefs. Small sets of reefs on the oceanside usually close inshore about 3.5 to 5 miles. They hold of wide variety of fish including Grouper, Snapper, Porgies, Grunts, the sooo delicious Hogfish, and sometimes Mackerel. 
Patch Reef fishing is my personal favorite, and generally what I like to do most, as damn it, I wanna put fish in my box!! 
Guess what!? I gotta fever. And the only prescription is more patch reef fishing (that said in my worst Christopher Walken voice from the infamous Cowbell SNL skit). It’s pretty close inshore, doesn’t take a lot of time to get out to, and lots of different spots,


A super Hogfish caught in some deeper water
Now, if you’re looking for that real sense of adventure, start going a little bit deeper. But know that the time between catches and bites may be a little bit longer.
When you’re looking just past the reef, in the 125 foot range, now you’re starting to talk about some of your bigger Groupers, your Mutton Snappers, and especially Kingfish and more. 

But, if you’re ready for some bad ass Hemingway action, you go deeper, and by deeper I’m talking about 600 to 2000 feet. 
Here's where you strap on your big boy, or big girl, pants and you throw your line and you’re looking for Dolphin, (No, not Flipper, but Mahi-Mahi), Tuna, and especially if you're lucky, Swordfish, each a tasty, tasty treat.


Mrs. Conchquistador with a tasty, yes tasty Jack Crevalle
Your style of fishing can also be determined by Where you are in the Keys.
I find Upper Keys fishing quite different from Lower Keys fishing especially when you talk about going on the Gulf side in the Lower Keys, and Bay side and the Back Country in the Upper Keys.
These are whole different fisheries.

And of course, there are particular habitats for other great target species like Tarpon, Permit, and Bonefish. 

If you's like even more detailed fishing info and some great gps numbers, visit my GPS page.  And for even GREATER accuracy, visit www.profishingspots.com.  they have INCREDIBLE #s and I know this first hand. May cost you a few bucks, but very much worth it. Tell them my friend Heiko from The South Florida Fishing Channel on youtube sent you. ( More about him and his phenomenal channel in a later post.)


The bottom line (pardon the purposeful "line" pun) is, get a rod in your hand, get some bait, learn how to throw a cast net, be safe, and most of all ... have fun.

Today Is One of My Favorite Days of the Year, And Let Me Tell You Why ...

OK, 
Penn rods and reels ... check 
Pinfish ... check 
Boxes of Chum ... check 
Knocker Rigs... check.
So what is this laundry list, you ask?? 
It is essential gear to stalk my favorite fish to both catch and eat
.
Yes, today is May 1, and that means just one thing ...
the start of Grouper Season!!!
These denizens of the rocky bottom are my favorite prey by far. And to me personally, as table fare, they really can’t be beat. Yes, the Mahi-Mahi is fantastic, and the stats are divided that Hog Fish is on its own plane, but to me, Grouper, yes big fat, sloppy, tasty Grouper is the king of the sea.

The cool thing about Grouper is that there are so many different varieties. Gag, Nassau, Black, Red, Snowey, Hind, and Strawberry are just a few, with Reds my personal favorite.

The most important thing to remember is that there’s only a particular season where we are allowed to get out on the open water and cast our lines and catch and keep these tasty beasts.  That season runs from May 1 to December 31. 

So where am I going to go?? Well, I’ll give you a couple of insider insights.
I just found the most incredible reef off the southern tip of Islamorada, about a mile and a half off shore. It’s got about 12 good sized patches within a 1 mile diameter and lots of great rocky outcrops and corals that make for great Grouper apartments.

Note that in grouper fishing, it is that the first 10 seconds of him on your line that is really going to tell the tale of who is going to be bitch slapped, you or the grouper.  As that is when they head for their nearest whole like a cockroach who's just seen the light in the kitchen. And when the get in that hole they puff up in it, like me after I eat popcorn rice. So getting them out, is where the real challenge begins!

So whether fishing in 10 to 12 feet of water or 150,  there's  always a variety of grouper to be found, especially if you have some type of structure on the bottom.

Oh very happy day I’m ready to get my lines in the water and pull up some dinner.

Pass me some tartar sauce!

Tattoo Who?? My Wife Gets Her First Tattoo Ever, In Key Largo.

You know, I think all of us have a Bucket List; climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Run with the Bulls in Pamplona, buy a house in the Florida Keys!! 
Well, one of the items on your Conchquistador's Wife’s Bucket List has been to get a tattoo! 

So, after a milestone birthday, and considering doing this for almost 15 years, she decided she wanted to get a tattoo in Key West. 
When I informed her, that until very recent years tattoo salons had been prohibited in Key West, we realized that we wanted a much more established salon.

So, I asked quite a few of my esteemed inked friends where they suggested, as I’m sure you can figure there are a plethora of Keys-ites that enjoy being out on the water, drinking tropical drinks and enjoying their colorful tattoos. We are known for our Character here in the Keys!!

And funny enough the salon that most recommended was one that I was already familiar with, located in Key Largo next to my favorite cigar shop. Now your Conchquistador himself his tattoo free. As a hirsute gentlemen, they just would not look good on me, though I’ve always had great admiration for the incredible artwork done on a living canvas.

South of Heaven Tattoos is located in the Pink Plaza at mile marker 103. It is owned by a tattooing family that has years and years of experience that is actually multi generational. 
To me, it is the ideal salon. Very, very clean, very inviting, super luxurious chairs for their clients to relax in as they are getting their body art, forever woven into the fabric of their skin.

I booked an appointment with Jason, a fantastic artist (Sporting a half shaved head with tattoos from the side of his head through his neck down to his calves, and standing about 6 foot 3! But underneath, a very kind soul!!), and when we got there he and his associate Caitlin we’re ready to get to work!
My wife had a specific design in mind and he was able to embellish it further. They made us feel very relaxed, and within an hour, she had her beautiful tattoo.
 
Bucket list item… Done!!
And wow what outcome. Even better than we had in anticipated.
In conversation with Jason, we found out, funny enough, that one of the most popular tattoos is the still clichéd anchor!!
South of Heaven Tattoos caters to locals and tourists alike.

Those of you wonderful readers who follow my blog know that Service is extremely important to me and a critical aspect of what I like to provide to my clientele. In fact my motto is, "SERVICE… Plain and simple".
I love it when I see other professionals give great service, and that is something my Wife and I received at South of Heaven Tattoos.

So yes, and I’m sorry Honey, and I mean the following with all the Love and Respect, LOL ... my Wife was able to get her Tramp Stamp Tattoo.!! And it is smoking hot!

The Keys are such a colorful and wonderful environment to express your individuality and one of the reasons we so love it here.
So whether you’re saddled up to the bar and sitting next to a tattooed biker dude, or long-haired musician, or a seemingly mild-mannered real estate agent, there’s always fun in store here in the fabulous Florida Keys!

Work with an agent who offers indelible service that will leave its mark. .Put the experience and expertise of The Conchquistador to work for you!

Irma's Knockin' On My Back Door. I Told Her I'm Not That Kinda Guy

It's been going on down here for millennia ... the storm surges, wind flows ... the buzz saw action that is the trademark of a large hurricane, cruising across the warm azure waters of the Atlantic and Caribbean with aching itch to make landfall cross our Florida Peninsula.


Irma
And so, here it is,  about 36 hours before that Bad Ass Bitch, Irma, decides to say Hello.

I've been to this rodeo before. I take this very seriously. But, with that in mind, you can only do so much.  And while you can survive losing "things", you can't afford to lose your humanity.


Assisting Customers With Shutters,  First Timers. Comforting their Fears
Shutters are up, the boats are secured. My family and I will be staying at one of our parents' houses in Southwest Miami. Little concrete bunkers homes that were built for conditions such as these.

My properties… Well... we'll just have to see well, won't we.


Like we did with Andrew, we will rebuild ... we will reset… And we will learn.

Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season
As for me, tomorrow evening, I plan to be sitting in a screened-in patio, glass of Rum and Cigar in hand, and looking straight into the eyes and belly of the beast. 
I will tip my hat and say ... "Bring it on Bitch"


All my friends, please stay safe and let me know that you got out OK.


God Bless

Shalom

Come Hear Your Conchquistador Sing At a Very Special Benefit for our "King Of Cool" !!


Sometimes bad things happen to good people. 
And, in the ebb and flow of life, this is a more common occurrence than not. 

One of your Conchquistador's dear friends is unfortunately going through a difficult time in his life. 
As with all of us who own this mortal coil, he's developed an illness that needs immediate attention.

One of the things I love about the Keys is our sense of Community. My friend Joey Naples, aka "The King of Cool", is
one of the pillars of our community, and one of the best ambassadors for the Florida Keys, I've ever seen. Joey is THE voice of Sun 103.1 FM and gives tirelessly of his time to so many charities.


Well, now, it's his hour of need, and our Keys Community is rallying for him!  
As all of us know, medical expenses can be astronomical, and with the games the insurances, and hospitals, and doctors play, many times treatments and services are not covered.

So, it is with great honor, that I've been involved with a benefit to help raise money for Joey's staggering medical costs. 
And WOW!! What a phenomenal event this is turning out to be!

This Sunday, April 2nd, from 1 to 6 PM at the OceanView Inn and Sports Pub ( Lovingly known locally, as "The OV") in Islamorada, at mile marker 85, we will be featuring some of the most incredible music you've ever heard. 

Your Conchquistador belting it out
Our local talent pool of musicians is absolutely amazing, such as The Taylor King band who are featured here on this Blog. Couple that, with several national touring acts, who, when they heard this was for Joey, they just had to throw their hat in the ring, and you know this is going to be Huuuggge.

And so it is, as well, that you're humble Conchquistador will also be getting up and singing a few tunes with the OV's spectacular house band, "The Usual Suspects." 
Custom painted Guitar by Pasta Pantaleo and singed by Jimmy Buffet. Up for Auction!
We will also be having an Auction for some Very, Very, Unique, One of a Kind, Art Pieces, by world renowned Artists, Pasta Pantaleo and Derrick Crossland.

Would you please join us? 
Incredibly Sculpted Heart by Derrick Crossland, Up for Auction!
And if for some reason, you're not able to join us, could I kindly ask you to donate generously to the Go Fund Me page that has been set up in Joey's honor that is linked Below?


Drinking, music, sunshine, and Fun ... in the Keys all for a great cause!!

We are a Community ... that Cares, we are a Community ... That Loves.  We are a Community ... That Gives, and this is my Very Dear Friend.
