***** The Fish Guy, 4114 Grand Boulevard, New Port Richey, Florida 34852, (727) 264-8818.
Got a real good one for you guys…The Fish Guy which is a fish market/café combo-joint. You can eat-in (handful of tables) or you can takeout!
You can check flfishguy.com for menu/prices/info…there are 2-menus, 1-for the café and 1-for the marReal simple story, tons of fried seafood, but there is enough grilled and blackened stuff so- the non-fried fish crowd is covered. In addition, there is plenty of non-seafood items like fried chicken, chicken wings, hamburgers so- the non-fish crowd is also good to go.
A recent outing had Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats eating-in and doing… 1/2 lb Fried Shrimp & 1/2 lb Fried Scallops Platter ($13.99, French fries, bean salad), blackened mahi mahi ($11.99, sweet potato fries, potato salad), bacon cheeseburger($7.49, fried onions, French fries) and I gotta tell you everything was right on the money! Just so we are straight with each other, The Fish Guy is sorta like a Fish Diner- nothing gourmet (whatever that means!) going on there- but trust Jeff Eats on this one- the food tastes great, the prices are super reasonable, the service is as pleasant as can be, you get to wear a tee shirt/shorts/flip flops or sneakers ensemble and you won’t need a tube of Clearasil after you eat!
Let Jeff Eats wrap this up for you, Jeff Eats and Mrs, Jeff Eats loved The Fish Guy…it’s like eating in a “mom & pop” neighborhood diner- that “emphasizes” fried-fish stuff rather than Greek food!
The Fish Guy is open Monday-Thursday 10am-7pm, Friday-Saturday 10am-8pm, Sunday 10am-3pm.
* The Beatles Tribute Show- Let It Be.
This one is for all you guys who like to “follow” Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ social calendar…

Just a taste…
This impromptu performance was recorded a few years ago at Kings Point Golf & Country Club in Delray Beach as Michael D’Amore walked out of the venue’s theater to greet the crowd in the lobby!
From bocablackbox.com:
Singer and songwriter Michael D’Amore was born in upstate N.Y. and raised and resided in New Jersey for most of his life. Coming from a musical family, it wasn’t a surprise that his passion would eventually become his livelihood.
For 35 years, Michael has been a professional entertainer hailing from The New York metropolitan area. Michael’s performances cover several genres with special attention devoted to harmony, which is one of his passions.
Michael currently performs as a one man show showcasing the very best of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and more. He is also a member of The Capris and proud to sing lead on the their hits “There’s A Moon Out Tonight” and “Morse Code Of Love” for music fans around the world. In his career, he has had the pleasure of being part of JT Carter’s Crests, (JT is the original Bass vocalist and founding member of The Crests) a Blue-Eyed soul show partnering him with Blues Hall of Famer Angel Rissoff and proud to have played keyboards and sing behind Jim Yester, original and founding member of The Association. Most recently Michael was featured on the PBS special Doo Wop Pop and Soul produced by TJ Lubinsky.
In recent years he has opened for and shared the stage with groups such as The Stylistics, Lou Christie, John Cafferty, The Loving Spoonful, Tony Orlando, Kenny Vance and the Planotones and so many groups he has admired over the years.
In 2012, his CD “In Harmony” was met with great success. “This is a labor of love and such a great source of pride.” In Harmony was special because Michael played and sang every part on this CD which was something he always wanted to do. In 2017 he completed his “My Favorite Melody” album in honor of his daughter which is still available today and an expected My Favorite Melody Vol II to be released soon. Most recently Michael was awarded the 2021 Top-Ten award for best New Country Song for his composition “Substituted Reality.”
Michael continues to strive for perfection in his craft and will always measure his level of success by the number of smiles in his audiences.
* Humor!
An American-Indian walks into a saloon with a shotgun in one hand and a 10-litre bucket of manure in the other:
The Indian says to the bartender, “Me want Lager!”
The bartender says, “Sure, Chief, coming right up.” He then serves the Indian a tall glass of Tennents Lager. The Indian drinks it down in one gulp, picks up the bucket, throws the manure into the air and blasts it with the shotgun. He then walks out.
Five days later, the Indian returns:
He has his shotgun in one hand and another bucket of manure in the other.He struts up to the bar and tells the bartender:
“Me want beer!”The bartender says, “Whoa there Chief, we’re still cleaning up from the last time you were here… What was that all about anyway?” he asked.
The Indian explained, “Me training for job as politician. Drink beer, shoot the shit, disappear for a few days come back and see if somebody else has cleaned up the mess me left behind…..”
* Humor!
A traveling salesman texted his wife he’d be home the next evening. He arrived on time, only to find her in bed with another man. Clueless as how to deal with the situation, the aggrieved guy stormed to his father-in-law’s house to give vent to his anguish before deciding on the next step
“Calm down, son,” the father-in-law said coolly. “There’s got to be a reason. Let me look into it. Meanwhile, grab your favorite drink from the bar.”
“After some time, the father-in-law returned, chuckling. “Didn’t I tell you, she had a good excuse? SHE DIDN’T GET YOUR MESSAGE”.
