Another Trip Down To Posey’s
Saturday, my wife and I decided to drive down to Panacea to dine at Posey’s Up The Creek Seafood Steam Room And Oyster Bar once again. We enjoyed ourselves so much a little over a week ago we made it a point to go again as soon as we could. And since our tax refund arrived, it gave us the excuse we needed to go back especially for some gumbo. Besides, it was St. Patrick’s Day and what better way to celebrate than with a heaping helping of Irish Gumbo, right? Right?
Well, at least it has green okra in it, so it’s close enough.
This is a view of the interior of Posey’s. The table at which my wife and I sat is on the lower right of the photo.
One of the owners told me a little about this picture and the unique frame. She told me that it’s a photograph from the Steinhatchee River taken in the early 70’s. She told me an interesting story about one patron who came in to eat for the first time there and remarked that the picture was of the Steinhatchee River. When he was asked how he knew, the man replied that one of the boats in the photograph was his grandfather’s. Small world, ain’t it? I asked how the frame was crafted to have barnicle and I was informed that the frame was tied to a pier for about three or four months to allow barnicles to attach and grow upon it. A frame with brackets instead of glue had to be used since the salt water would cause any glue to dissolve.
Above the photograph is a fairly large blue crab which was caught by one of the owner’s sons and had put on this wooden plaque. There is a second one further to the left as well (you can see the second one in the interior photo of Posey’s above) to make a matched set. As far as blue crabs go, it’s pretty large but the owner told me that her son has caught plenty bigger ones out in the area. Those must have been some pretty good-sized blue crabs.
Not only did we enjoy some outstanding gumbo (in my opinion the best in the region if not of any restaurant to that I’ve been at any time in my past) but some delicious crab cakes as well. I also indulged in some steamed oysters with garlic and parmesan cheese (I don’t consume raw oysters anymore per doctor’s orders). The whole meal was delicious. I heartily recommend dining at Posey’s Up The Creek Seafood Steam Room And Oyster Bar if you are visiting Tallahassee, Panacea or Apalachicola.
