Flavor Palm Beach: Cool'A Fishbar

All Photos: North Palm Beach Life

Our Flavor Palm Beach tour continued with a stop at Cool'A Fishbar -- "a casual tropical restaurant serving fresh locally caught seafood" -- located at Legacy in Palm Beach Gardens. We've always found navigating Legacy something of a maze, but if you can find the big Barnes and Noble off PGA,  Cool'A is just down that street.

For Flavor month, they offer two versions of their three-course, prix fixe menu. The selections are the same for each, but one includes a glass of their house or well cocktail for $5 a person more ($44.95) vs. without ($39.95). We opted for the former, and started our meal with a gin and tonic.

For the appetizer round, Pam selected the hot crab and artichoke dip, while I got the Shaka Shrimp. She loved the dip, but found the accompanying chips too hard and brittle (pita bread would have been a perfect substitute). My shrimp were flavorful, sweet and spicy.

Coconut Crusted Yellowtail Snapper

​We both ordered the Coconut Crusted Yellowtail Snapper as our entree, which came with two sides. Going all in on starch, we got the "famous Cool'A potato" -- a delicious au gratin creation -- and the coconut basmati rice. The snapper had a good taste, and was a large portion, but slightly overcooked and crunchy.

Of course, for dessert Pam went immediately to the Ultimate Chocolate Cake, while I got the Peanut Butter Pie. No complaints on either -- just please bring some to go boxes.

If you haven't been there, Flavor Month is a great reason to visit. You won't leave hungry.
