Big Ray’s Fish Camp

dsc_3736

After several friends told us to try “Big Ray’s Fish Camp” in South Tampa we finally did. It is very easy to see who they were named the Best Grouper Sandwich in Tampa Bay Area. They are also #2 in the State of Florida!!!! Carrie’s grouper was so good he won’t let me have a bite. That’s OK my lobster corn dog was out of the world too. The homemade onion rings are a must too.  On our visit a friends was also there on his first visit too. We were told that there are plans for 2 more locations opening soon in Tampa.  Give it a try soon!!!
