Matt cleans your catch of the day. Capt Matt will take care of all the details from dinner to dishes. Dinner will consist of fried fat back appetizers, tossed salad, potatoes, corn on the cob and of course fresh fish. Dessert will consist of a very special French Toast that is simply out of this world.
