Saturday we drove to St. Marks for lunch. The Riverside Cafe still had grouper sandwiches, but that was it. We were having friends for dinner, & fresh fish – snapper or grouper – was on the menu. But we couldn't find any for sale. The fish dock next to the restaurant had none. Lynn's was closed. Lighthouse Seafood offered only mullet & shrimp. The waters around St. Marks are not closed to fishing, but it appears that there's little fishing going on."All the fishing boats are out looking for oil; they're not fishing," the woman inside told us. When we wished her well, she thanked us & said, "Things look bad."
