FORT MYERS, Fla. (Feb. 1, 2013) \u2013Red\u2019s Fresh Seafood House & Tavern<\/a> will be hitting the road and bringing its seafood and land lover\u2019s delights to more of Southwest Florida with its new mobile food trailer.<\/p>\n

Red\u2019s food trailer made its debut this past weekend, serving bacon wrapped stuffed jumbo sea scallops, fried shrimp with a choice of five different sauces, barbecue ribs, pulled pork sliders and famous key lime pie and samoan cheese cake at the Kiwanis Club of Greater Pine Island\u2019s Taste of Pine Island on Jan. 26 and 27, 2013.<\/p>\n

The 8 x 22 foot trailer was custom built by Concession Nation, Inc. of Fort Lauderdale for the Pine Island restaurant in order to expand its exposure throughout Southwest Florida. The trailer includes state-of-the-art stainless steel insulated interior and counters, a roof-mounted air conditioner, fluorescent lights, three deep-fryers, a griddle, char broiler, convection oven, two large refrigerators, a freezer, bottle cooler, ice maker, meat slicer, three large sinks, heavy-duty water-system plumbing with an automatic water pump, a 40 gallon fresh-water heater, wire shelf storage, propane lines and tanks, high-speed exhaust fans, a generator and more. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s bigger than most restaurant kitchens,\u201d said Red\u2019s owner Bud LoCicero. \u201cWe are very excited to now be able to take our award-winning seafood and specialties on the road so more of Southwest Florida will know why we say, \u2018our seafood is fresh and delicious, or we don\u2019t serve it.\u2019 With this new vehicle, we will now be able to cater events onsite from weddings and birthdays to corporate functions and more.\u201d<\/p>\n

The owners have announced a contest via their Facebook page to name the trailer with the winner receiving a $50 gift certificate that can be used at their restaurant or the trailer. Submissions are being accepted until Feb. 17.<\/p>\n

Red\u2019s is well-known for its always fresh, never frozen seafood. The house specialty, Red\u2019s Steamer, is a mixture of shrimp, clams, oysters, mussels, Alaskan snow crab and Cajun sausage steamed with sweet onion, white wine, garlic and scampi butter, poured at your table out of steaming beer pitchers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur one-of-a-kind process jets steam into pitchers brimming with a combination of fresh herbs, butter and shellfish,\u201d said LoCicero. \u201cThis unique method infuses the taste of seafood and aromatics creating a perfect fresh-as-possible eating experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

New seafood offerings recently added to Red\u2019s menu include Boom Boom Shrimp, Crab Meatballs, Mussels and Clams Provencal, Clams and Mussels Diablo, Scallops Nantucket, Fried Tilapia, Shrimp and Lobster Tail, Salmon a\u2019la Vodka, Mediterranean Salmon, Snapper and Grouper, Parmesan Crusted Grouper and Triple Tail, Crab Crowned Grouper and Triple Tail, Wasabi Pea Crusted Tuna, Bronzed Scallops and Asian BBQ Shrimp and Triple Tail.<\/p>\n
