Feeding the Tarpon at The Wharf

On the last night of our Grand Cayman trip we went to The Wharf, a seafood restaurant recommended to me by a coworker. It did not disappoint! We were joined by my cousin Brad & his wife Heidi and our friends Andy & Bonnie McNabb.

We were seated outside on a huge white deck overlooking the ocean. From there we could see the lights of the cruise ships docked in Georgetown - it was gorgeous.

At 9pm, a staff member brought out some fish scraps to feed a school of tarpon swimming below the dock - what a frenzy! We couldn't believe the hundreds of tarpons, all jumping over each other and out of the water to catch the leftovers.

What I Ate:
  • appetizer: seared yellowfin tuna w/avocado salad - some of the best tuna I've ever eaten
  • entree: basil & pistachio crusted sea bass in champagne sauce
  • for dessert: mango cheese cake w/blueberries & raspberries
  • to drink: Cakebread Cellars sauvignon blanc
The Scoop:
The Wharf Restaurant and Bar is located on W. Bay Rd. in West Bay on Grand Cayman. They serve dinner daily from 6pm to 10pm. Reservations are available online.
