a perfect day can be had here!!!. aransas pass & port aransas are a whole different world when it comes to eating out. for the most part, restaurants down here are designed to feed hungry fisherman. down home american bar food, hot, and quick is the order of the day.
while mickeys' pretty much follows that formula, they have some real gems on the menu, my favorite beingfriedoysters. they do the batter in house and its light, a little spicy, and very flavorful. they have an amazing soft shell crab on occasion as well. and crab puppies are compulsory. you must order them (don't argue with me, it'll just end in tears...)
the atmosphere is typical port a fish shack, with terrific views of the water, and some great local characters to tell some great tall sea tales.
service is friendly and fast, and prices, while a little high, are right in line with other joints of this caliber in the area.
mickey's is actually a marina, and is famous for having some of the best fishing guides in the area. so come in, eat some oysters, hook up with your guide and go have a good day of fishing. then come back here, eat some more crab puppies, and let the friendly bartenders help you enjoy whats left of your day. if that's not a perfect day, i don't know what is.
