I realize this has been discussed in past years, but many restaurants that were mentioned are now closed, and so many new ones are opening. So, we are staying in Seacrest over Thanksgiving, and have no intention of cooking! We will either go out to eat at a restaurant, or go pick up prepared food. It will probably be my parents, me and my husband, and our 16 and 12 year old kids. I have the menu from Cowgirl Kitchen, and I know Publix is an option.
Do any places sell whole fried turkeys?
Any other ideas--either eat-in, or carry-out?? Prefer to keep it along 30-A, or pretty close.
Thanks!

I think Kenny D's in Mirimar Beach has done fried turkeys in the past.

Cocoon's in Seagrove perhaps.

There were a couple restaurants open last year on Thanksgiving Day and doing special meals - can't remember which ones, but the menus they posted were yummy sounding!
If you do go out to eat, please tip extra well - because they are there serving you, it means they don't get to celebrate the holidays w/ their family and friends!

Last year we ate at the Ocean Club. They had turkey, dressing, potatoes, vegetables, etc., for a reasonable price. I think we even had to take some home.

They have done it every year the past few...so I'll be carrying on the tradition. Last year they had fried and baked turkeys.

We made a decision regarding Thanksgiving. I had been planning to order the turkey from Calypso Cafe in PCB, some sides from Publix, and the rest from Cowgirl Kitchen. I pulled up the Calypso website, and they've added 2 packages since I last looked. One is $100 and includes a fried turkey, corn and crawfish bisque, dressing, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, rolls, fresh green beans, garlic mashed potatoes, and white chocolate bread pudding. The other package is $78, and is the same except for the bisque. I ordered the $100 package, and will pick it up Thanksgiving morning. It is exactly what I was looking for, and the price is great!
My only concern is that I don't know much about Calypso Cafe and how good the food is, but it's gotten pretty good reviews on some of the message boards. It looks to be around 15 minutes from our condo in Seacrest.
Now I've got to figure out what to do for the rest of our meals next week! So many choices.....

Love, love, love them! I haven't been in awhile, but the food has alway been terrific, and they're great folks. And, you are correct, it won't be too far from your place in Seacrest. Hope you enjoy, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Our Thanksgiving meal that we ordered from Calypso was fabulous. The corn and crawfish bisque was to die for, and the turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cornbread dressing, and green beans were delicious, all tasted fresh and homemade, with plenty of flavor. Unfortunately, by the time we made it to the white chocolate bread pudding, we were so stuffed that we couldn't enjoy it to the extent that it deserved!! But I'm sure it will get devoured today. 
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
