Islamorada Fish Company, Prattville, AL

I am still shaking my head that there is a pretty decent restaurant in the Bass Pro Shop/Outdoor World in Prattville, AL.  I didn't take a picture of the BP, but it was so delicious.  By the time I got to it, I just wanted to eat it.  When the waitress came by, we were too full for dessert, but bread pudding were the first words out of her mouth.  Evil woman.  So once again, I got it to-go.  The portion was generous enough to share.  And I must mention that fantabulous aquarium behind the bar.  It's such a cool place in every way, except for that bar tender who asked me if my friend was my daughter.  She still owes me a drink.

Price:  I think it was around $5.00
Raisins:  No

Abbey Road Pub and Lucky Oyster, Virginia Beach, VA

I tasted the best and worst in Virginia Beach.  The best was at Abbey Road Pub.  Texture and flavor were top notch.  It comes with a bourbon sauce and premium vanilla ice cream, but it can truly stand alone.  I am giving it a 4 fork, though I would rate it a 3.5 only because it's so darned sweet.  It has baked in brown sugar on top.  It was so good my non-bread pudding lover friend liked it (I let her have a spoonful) so much that we went back another day and got 2 orders, because I didn't want to share again!

Maybe worst is too dramatic, but look at this to-go portion from Lucky Oyster and what would you think?  This is unappetizing and I really don't like the sliced bread version.  Thankfully, Lucky Oyster is famous for seafood, not desserts.  Ick!  I admit the apples were good and it didn't have raisins, but it looked so afterthought undressed, I couldn't eat it.  It came with two sauces and ice cream.  I suppose when it's cloaked, it's better.

I am not telling you anything more about Lucky Oyster.  For Abbey Road Pub:
Price: $4.99 (a bargain)
