Key West - Barry Cuda’s last night at BO Fishwagon

 

This was Barry Cuda’s last night at BO Fishwagon - he’s off for Sicily, of all places! 

The usual gang was there tonight, people we knew from the Poughkeepsie Yacht Club. They had a table saved for us, a prime spot right in front of Barry. BO Fishwagon is a small place which adds to the intimacy and limits crowds. It’s an open area so you don’t feel closed in. Here’s a video of Barry playing at BO Fishwagon. https://youtu.be/B7NjTt7Wh3g

It really was just a food wagon that found a home on  corner in Key West

Barry had a saxophone player tonight in addition to the drummer. The music they play is decades old but we enjoy the songs. Another thing we like about the place is the excellent food. We had conch fritters for an appetizer and fish sandwiches for the main meal with onion rings on the side. Some places overdo the fish sandwiches with too much stuff but not BO. They use Cuban bread which compliments the fish very well. 

This was before the crowds that came to see Barry - BO’s is not for everyone

One downside, they do not have a liquor license. BO’s was sold recently and the new owners have applied for a license but it has not yet been approved. With that, we took our own bottle of white wine for dinner, no problem. 

In short, we like the music, we like the food, we like the camaraderie. It may not be for everyone, it sure doesn’t look like much inside but it suits us fine.
