    Fish taco friday!!!

    At the Lucky Dog Diner in Venice FL. Pics below.

    I got a 'revelation' that made me go 'duh' when I was sitting in there waiting on my order. I've been going there about 7 years, but we've been coming down here about 17. The first 10 years I really never noticed this place even though it's not far from the condo and drove by it frequently. Anyway, they have this sign on the wall, the old thing about the injured dog that goes by the name 'Lucky'. You've probably heard it before:

    So anyway, there is a silhouette of the dog there on the drink case and I'm staring at it and all of a sudden it hits me:

    This dog only has 3 legs! That's where they got the name and this is the 'Lucky Dog' that's missing his leg. All these years and it never dawned on me. lol.

    Did they use his missing leg in the taco?

    My first thought when I saw the dog drawing was that he was probably the main ingredient in Fuego's tacos.

    Nope. I need to do a shark tooth dive. Won't be able to do it this time though. Mrs. fuego has found 4 on the beach so far while just taking a walk. Here is a pic of those and a few of the jars they collected as kids before they decided to cover the shore with sand. That left one is maybe 3/4 of an inch to an inch long.

    Here is a pic of this week's haul of teeth. She doesn't even dig for these, these are the ones she just finds laying among the shells as she's walking on the beach.

    Here is one in the pic that looks a little different with ridges on it.

    Interesting. Do you ever look them up to see what type of shark they came from? Scroll down...the one with ridges might be a rare one from the Snaggletooth shark:

    That's definitely what it is. I haven't seen it but she told me she has another one at home just like it thats probably about 2 inches big. The others seem to be either lemon and/or sand shark.
